    Been playing since beta and I think I can comfortably say that it is highly unlikely (as in winning the lottery unlikely) that there are aimbotters in NS2, currently. There are people who can land every single bullet on a skulk however without missing, consistently and legitimately. There are also those who use exploits, but there are no exploits for aim. Or at least there used to be exploits, I think all of them have gotten blocked out by consistency.

    Anti cheat is sorely needed? I've seen a couple people MAYBE hacking...except I've had rounds where I'm so in the zone I've gone 45-5, not as good as some but nothing to be ashamed of. K:D means nothing, and if you're going to be making accusations you better have proof. Or better yet keep it off the forums. Name & Shame is a punishable offense because it does nothing but degrade the community without actually providing protection against hackers.

    and no, records dosnt count we wanna see fraps, with your prozess table and all shown mods in your client and then start the game, join a rnd UWE server and play 3 rounds 40:1.

    Until this.

    Well it's hard to go 40 and 1 when you get 10 fps from fraps + well designed game engine.

    How about getting 50 kills without deaths on the alien team?

    I know for a fact there are aimbots written for NS2 right now. None the less, they're still very difficult to obtain at this point. The VAST majority of the time, these complaints are not about aimbotters, but simply about skilled players. A little bit of "I was hiding and got shot" stuff is because of some of the nasty mods that get around consistancy (there's a wallhack mod called "marine visor" or something like that, and of course the regular gambit of bright yellow models and what not). Those aren't really hacks though, there's already "anti cheat" in place to prevent that, server admins just choose to not use it (because it also blocks some of the fun texture packs)

    That, or, the giant glowing eyes on every alien who doesn't know he needs to turn off AV to be stealthy. You don't need a pink model to pick that out of a room.

    The Ns1 COmp scene get pubbanned for "aimbotting"

    Easy, only play on official gameservers. Or rent your own.
    No server owner/hoster have to pay to give "ProClans" a place for pubraping.
    Deal with it.
    Or
    with great power comes great responsibility

    And hackusations...
    Players:
    Wear your Clantag - make your STEAM profile visible - link your ESL/Twich/Tube profile.

    Dev
    Add First Person specc with basic wireframe to show the bullet way.
    GGC/PB/ support
    Maybe add a masterban server and add all VacBan steam Accounts.

    Yup unless it's way too obvious, it's very hard to tell whos cheating without first person spectating.

    It's no use adding VAC to a game where you can inject your own hacks and cheats that can't be detected with LUA scripting.

    Total fail of the devs, just one of many.

    Actually, if the consistency checking works well enough for the LUA code that it would had to be bypassed to make changes to it then that bypass could be detected.
  • NeoRussiaNeoRussia Join Date: 2012-08-04 Member: 154743Members
    I don't know much LUA but I think if someone was to create a bypass, the bypass itself would not be LUA therefore with just consistency checking it's enough to take out that "LUA scripting is not safe" argument.

    Clearly someone was cheating because a 47-6 ratio is impossible without hacks? Really, that's how you think? I haven't seen one blantant hacker in NS2 ever.

    Interesting. I've noticed glowing eyes before when I've had skulks coming at me with the power out, but figured they were just on all the time. Good to know.

    Glad to see a thread of this type actually had some redeeming value for once.

    There's lots of questionable things going on. But aimbotting has been a problem since NS1 when it was pervasive. Clanners especially, but they were ######bags in those days, no surprise.

    Last week there was an aimbotter who was on marines, then on next map went khammander, dropped a lerk, then had his way with the server. Kinda goofy how aimbots help aliens with melee attacks as well as spikes.

    Because when you've invested 1000 hours into mastering the game, that's the best time to risk throwing it all away by getting caught with hacks. It's not like people are winning money right now.

    Most all ENSL games are reffed and 99% the rest are streamed. All teams members, spectators, and reffs are required to record demos that are looked over briefly (for unauthorized mods mostly) and and suspicious activate is met with much scrutiny.

    So no, there has been no hacking in the ENSL, and only a few exploits. (most of them where involuntary IE:falling out of the map)

    So shut up.

    Aimbotting was never pervasive in NS1. It was a real thing, definitely, many of the CS hacks worked fine for NS as well. But it was not pervasive. Clanners were ENDLESSLY besieged with wrongful accusations in that game. I played competitively. I studied hours of demos of better players in slow motion. I only ever once saw an example of someone participating in the clanning scene that MAY have been a hack (wall hack specifically). Our scene was under a microscope at all times, and we were strict on eachother. The public community was just a bunch of ###### bags towards us because they hated being beaten.

    I haven't heard of a single case of a skilled player being justifiably accused of hacking in NS2, and yet I've heard of dozens and dozens of wrongful accusations already.

    The problem is here is paranoia and the ignorance of pubbers as to how the game works. Not hacks.

    You really think hackers care if they get caught? It's a risk/reward system. Most have probably gone through multiple steam id/games. Every hacker will eventually have his day. What you have to remember that if it's a online comp THERE will be hackers. There has been in every online comp and will continue to be.

    Why do you think that you still cant hack even thou there's reffs and being streamed? It's still very easy to hide a wallhack. Stop acting like a retard already.

    I'm not accusing anyone of hacking therefore i don't need evidence, However i can assure there would be multiple users in ENSL.

    De-nile, the best river in the world. If there's one thing I don't miss about NS1, it's the community and the clanners from that era.

    NS2 isn't as bad with the hax, yet. But it will get there as more people get into this game.
