I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago, and he kept insisting that there was a lot of people who were cheating (aimbots, wallhacks, etc.), even in competitive matches! I kinda blew him off, and told him no way. But then he brought up a good point, there's no way to tell. PunkBuster is dubious at best, and ingame demos don't even record first person! So how are you supposed to catch these people?

We know about the people who are idiots and blatantly obvious about it, but what about the people who aren't blatantly obvious about it?

Theres not that many hackers for BF2... Well, if there are, their hacks Fail.


The only really way to tell is to review a battlerecorder files.

I'm sure there's plenty, but not as much as people claim in game....like "OMFG you no0b, wtf w/ all tha HAXXXX???!!11179"  I've had people tell me I'm hacking, and I'm not that great.

I have seen some highly suspect activity on occasion however.  Like arty that recharges waay too fast....people who seem to be able to shoot through anything.....rapid fire shots from M95s that never miss....etc.

There's quite a few name tag cheats, and they are one of the simplest hacks for bf2 one can make. As far as the # of people using them, compared to the total # of people playing, is a small number.

Not much.  People accuse me of cheating but I have never done it and never will. 

Pretty much if you have a fast computer with a high frame rate and a fast internet connection you can own.  Although skill and resourcefullness is also important.

I get accused of cheating every once in awhile but it's just gay, like the faggy generals who think they can't be killed face to face by a gunnery sergeant. I doubt it's even 5% of the BF2 population but I obviously don't know for sure. In about 175hrs I think I've come up against maybe 2 or 3 cheaters & it's the noobs that you see shooting your friend & then as soon as your friend dies they automatically lock on your head.


btw this is the first time in my entire life that I actually spelled "sergeant right", spell check makes me happy

I've played for over 1000 hours and the only hack I've seen is the commander supply hack, which I saw a couple of days ago. I've been occasionally suspicious of players using aimbot hacks too but I wouldn't know for sure. I've been accused of hacking myself plenty to know sometimes it's just pure good luck.

I've had somewhere in the vicinity of five-ten people kill me in a very very short time while standing up and using the RPK at varied distances. And I know that they were standing the whole time because my friends are always in my squad along side me to verify it.

So what does that suggest? No-recoil hacks? Accuracy hacks? You decide.

u should read my infantry guide: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=55088

edit: in reflection, im sorry to say that enough cheating happens in bf2 for it to be annoying. check out a "competitive" bf2 server and you can always find someone hacking. and sadly the "best" players in BF2 are the ones that will generate the most dust. Its random. Like gambling. Pretty lame. But honestly, if you figure out how to play you can beat 99.9% of players on the avg. server. Just learn how to always shoot first, and take the right shot, and you will start discovering who the hackers are. But honestly people will be wrongly accusing no matter what. Just because someone always shoots first doesn't mean they hack. Even if they can almost always land shots doesn't mean they hack. But some are hacking. They can easily do it (even in CAL). Remember its a game (cheaters fail at life) and have a nice day.

if you want a real laugh go in an unranked server with pb disabled, your lucky if you get ten ft along the road

There aren't that many. For the ones who do cheat/hack, you'll never catch them/stop them. Try not to worry about it and have a bit of fun.

I would say hardly any. Ive been called a hacker on a few occasions (even for taking down a HIND with the Essex gun on Gator.....)
You do get some "woah" shots on you that you think "no fucking way"...but it happens. Hell Ive done it, weve all done it - but when it gets done to you, you think "hacker". Same with finding enemies in "unusual spots" too.

When I used to play Soldier of Fortune 2, there was NO anti cheat software in the game. It also had console cvars left in the game which could be used ONLINE which gave a wallhack, thirdperson view, fullbright and nolight (everything is white/grey) modes. Needless to say, it was full of hackers everywhere. Seeing as I was in one of a select few clans who actually didnt hack (we developed our own software to find out), we would often sit in spec with those console options on and watch peoples activities. In the end, we actually became better than a lot of them just through tactics and having to fight against aimbots all the time - we worked out ways of beating them! To which we got called hackers....and it goes on.
It was always so funny to actually see people standing behind a wall and suddenly run away, and only seconds later a grenade exploded at their old spot. Dead give-away, which we used all the time.

But you cant do that in BF2. With a UAV, commander spotting and your teammates spotting too...the enemy could be on the radar and you dont know that. Which renders battlerecorders pretty much pointless for a lot of situations.
Also, I dont know how many people use this, but if theres a vehicle nearby on the radar and it disappears - then an enemy has most likely taken it, or vice versa if one suddenly appears in a position that you know doesnt spawn one. I use that to get around for an easy kill.
From my own experience in hacker games and non hacker games there is a thin line between being a hacker and using common sense.
IMO, the only real way to detect wallhacks in BF2 is a PB screenshot.

Yeah, what he said.

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of players using cheats. But given the thousands of BF2 players this still makes the chance you'll encounter one, randomly, fairly small.

Ditto. You know if you're having a great game, and if it's not one of those when you can't seem to miss but you still get accused of being an aimbotter or whatever it kinda puts the average cheat accusation into perspective.

Most recently I had some noob sergeant accuse me of hacking for beating him in head-to-head sniper duels a couple of times in succession. Now I was having a good game, nothing amazing at all, and this guy has a sniper-rifle accuracy of less than 40% (his stats suck generally) plus he was using an SVD v. my M24
