Greetings,
I needed to get something off my 52.5 year old mind. I have owned C2 four months now. I bought this game as a gift to myself as I have not played online games for quite some time and figured this would be a treat. I had no idea the game had been hacked so quick ... only learned that from these forums. I'm old school Q3A, Q3TA, UT (all versions) ... clan'd up in diff game types ... you might know what I'm taking about. I got spanked the first minutes playing online and wondered wtf? ... I can aim/shoot as well as the other guy. Not so apparently. I'm pretty sure I've been raqed on some servers. I thought it was me after all these years ... couldn't have some fun online ... too old for this stuff now. Wrong. After seeing what you folks have discussed and posted told me that quite a few servers I visited were polluted (quite possibly) with hackers ... after several months? ... Holy Sh*t .... we had this stuff in Quake/UT but it did take some time to spread. Crytek, you never post on these forums anymore .. SAD. I've played more SP these days and stayed away from MP. I'm been schooled now ... I guess if peeps can hack Sony Network etc., they can hack anything. Crytek, you folks need to protect your ASSets (we the people) and fix this .... u can't dump us .. it's not right.

Yep, me too, I just don't touch MP any more. It's mainly becaise I think the MP is so unbalanced and the suit just does not do the game justice. Also, that damn DLC weapon on all servers is just stupid and as if it isn't hard enough to unlock weapons before you get raqed by higher ranked players anyway.

I much prefer Homefront MP anyway, feels a lot better.

>.> which region are you playing in?

In the two regions I play in, I don't see that many hackers, I get through hours of games each day that have only legit players. Its very possible that there are game mechanics that you aren't aware of yet. Don't let anyone say age has anything to do with how well someone plays this game. Our clan has members from 15-50. Players that are more mature tend to do a lot better once they understand the game mechanics, which is something the young players 10-14 seem to have more difficulty with. If you are having trouble seeing stealth you can can use nano vision (n key by default).

The sniper riffle and gauss are crap compared to UT and Q3A/Q3TA respectively. Also destealth before firing the sniper rifle or the first bullet won't hit. I recommend the new recruit servers, just so you can get used the way the guns fire and aim, it feels a bit different to some games. For example in UT Q3A/Q3TA, you virtually always use pointfire, whereas this game really rewards using the sights (default right click) on almost all guns. Though you can use a laser or pointfire enhance perk to boost the accuracy.

Your accuracy is a little low, which due to killing speed makes a big difference. Use ADS (aim down sights) rather than point fire if you can, point fire is a lot less accurate. If you are finding the ironsights difficult to hit with, I suggest using the reflex sights. I notice that you are aiming at the head fairly consistantly, with most assault rifles, I'd recommend aiming below the head so the natural kick moves to hit the head or you hit the torso.

I see you like the scar, if you use the aim enhance perk, its accuracy when firing with the sights, improves dramatically.

The DLC weapon can be quite powerful, so if you have the wrong perks on your weapons, it would give you a hard time.

I cannot believe most folks paid 60$ (at least that was the price here in Canada) for a game that was so easily hacked ... I got my copy for 21 .. thought that was a steal ... yah a bad call. I'm not sure if I ever want to purchase a game/console (never into those ... I'm PC) again. I guess there will be money made from your kid's ... mine is 19 and out of the house but he is still stupid ... just saying;)

I've added my comments here for BE. I appreciate your input and everyone here and will take your comments to heart. I guess I'm asking Q's at a higher level than specific play ... we all got screwed ... those that paid top dollar for "extra" .. those who paid later and those who the game cheap (me). It's just appalling (since I'm a very old online gamer [SpecialK] ) that there are soooo many loopholes in this product.

I forgot to add ... I can great pings on many servers ... I'm in Toronto ... lot's of US servers close buy.

BusinessEvolution is one of those deniers that the undetectable hack/exploit exists. I just bought this game like 3 weeks ago and I've have already uncovered the true mass conspiracy that's going on in the Crysis 2 community that I suspected all along. Unfortunately, Crytek doesn't care about this game anymore and it's really sad that I have uncovered more than just one exploit that 'most' (95% the other 5% haven't been filled in yet) people are using and are lying about using this method because it's undetectable via the so called anti-cheat server.

To all you narcissistic a-holes who keep claiming your so good and bragging about it -- "Oh I'm just so skilled and you just svck" -- you are lying - you're F'ing cheating! To all those people who keep denying it because you rarely see cheaters, either you are guilty yourself and lying about it or just really f'ing stupid. I know what's really going on.

Crytek doesn't care about this game anymore. This game died for a reason. And, you know what? I don't even f'ing care anymore now. It is what is.

I have never denied that there are indeed people using hacks about, I am very certain that you have indeed come across them. I doubt the sheer number that you claim are cheating. Will you see people cheating, yes you will come across them with varying frequency. Probably one in ten rounds at the highest, compared to 1 in 2 rounds before cheat protection. Does the cheat protection work... I wouldn't rely on it. There are servers that have good admins, that detect and ban a large percentage of cheaters.

There are two cvars groups which some people use that are well documented on this forum, that anyone can use.
(no shadows and clear nanovision). The first, I don't really understand how it helps much, and the second is more aesethic, I don't use nanovision. There are also some gun bugs. You also claim that there are bugs that allow infinite energy and speed, however that would clearly be an exploit, and a server admin would ban a person using those from their server.

I have repeatedly tried to explain to you, how you can attempt to verify if someone is cheating or not. You haven't as yet, sent me a link of your own game play or shown someone cheating. I have no clue whether you can accurately determine it or not, your accuracy does appear to be increasing. Most new players can't seem to. The probability of you simply trolling is increasing.

You have 80% headshots, and 22% accuracy, I have seen other players with similar stats and low K/D because you miss so many shots in the way you are aiming for people's heads which lowers your killing speed. Theoretically if you can keep a high accuracy and high number of headshots, with decent killing speed you could be a top player.

My record shows I wasn't cheating. Tell me how to reset my stats now, and I'll SCORE SKY HIGH and GLEAM to high standard in the RECORD BOOKS, just like you....

My stats right now prove nothing AHOLE... Fighting against a bunch of cheaters, the stats aren't legit dude.. IDIOT!

You have 5 hours played in MP. BusinessEvolution is just trying to explain some basic things for you that you cant even coap with.

These are the guys who have 2:1 kill ratios and keep rubbing it in. Denying the fact they are using the exploit of the game to obtain this rank.

When did I ever say anything about KD? And you just prove the fact that you have no knowledge of hacks, you just called me a exploit because of my KD.

Are we speaking different languages, Australian vs America?. I have never once claimed you are cheating. You may have me confused with Geronimo, who said you are probably cheating, because some of your expressions that you use. I was in fact saying that your playing style was at fault, and the reason that your kill death ratio is not that good. I also have made repeated suggestions for how you can improve.

I was saying that you have an impressive headshot rate, but low accuracy and kill rate, you have the potential to be a very good player, if you can improve the weaknesses in your playing style. You call me an ass for giving you praise. Then you claim everyone is cheating and all stats are not legit. Instead what is coming across to me, is that you are frustrated by the game and are either playing against good players or people that are cheating, and are not sure how to tell the difference.

You may be the first person I add to my ignore list good sir.

I don't believe I have ever once mentioned my k/d or stats on this forum. My intention is to help increase the k/d of other players. I think you will find cheaters tend to have a much higher k/d than 2. I only ask to see videos of your game play:
1.) To see if the people you are playing are actually cheating or to point out where you are possibly misguided
2.) Give you advice to improve your game play, you seem like a younger player. I will not hold that against you, but your attitude doesn't always seem in the right place.


On another note. Shakta01, I would give you +1 rep, if this forum supported that feature.

People selectively read all the time and pick words out. Terminal_Meltdown, you need to read more carefully.

Terminal_Meltdown I get as frustrated as you when facing cheaters, but one thing that is as frustrating for me is to be called one just because Im better then them. I′ve suspected alot of people cheating, the ones that are insane hard to spot are the wallhackers that play "safe". The aimbot/stealth/infinit energy are the easy ones to spot.

OP I suggest you trying the DDD servers if you want a cheat free environment, or any server that has a admin on a basis monitoring it.

You can still get a feel for them if you are using two load outs. Silenced scarab, or nova, or marshall, with Blindspot 3. This will mean that they can't see you on radar, and can't tag you. Covert Ops is also a required perk to switch to, so that you can hide your footsteps. You can then see if their efficiency against you drops. Of course there are good players that find people using either (as you can't have both equiped perks), however footsteps have a detection radius.

They can still find you, if you hide in obvious places, or if you just killed someone, giving your position away. If you know the limitations of the killcam, and also the layout of the map and spawn points (more likely to be an issue 1vs1 or with very few players). If you are playing against a clan, they could also be using teamspeak/vent/mumble, to communicate extra information as well. Also you can look at their statistics and see if they are a good experienced player, or if their statics have weird trends. I'd say you can still pick up on people who are wall hacking, about 70% of the time. It may take half a round or more, with a close eye on them to work it out.

100% detection impossible, with what we have (no admin spectate mode). I have also seen a few incidents where there is a duo of players, one appears to be legitimate, and the other appears to be cheating with a wall hack, and communicating to the team mate where people are. I didn't think people would do that, until I saw one dodgy player sharing dodgy information with legitimate players (though their intention was to make other players look bad). There also seems to be a disturbing category of good players, who occassionally use hacks when they want to make another good player 'rage quit' or they suspect another player of cheating, rightly or wrongly so.

There is speculation that this occurs more with ESL players, however I really don't believe that. I think they are just bad mouthing each other.

So many dots in everyone of your sentences! Did you get a degree out of a box of Trix cereal? Review who anolyzed personal stats first, dude. I defended your stance and you just back stabbed me.. F U !

Right is right folks, now play the white man and own up, you're a bunch of noobs, always have been, always will be, especially now i got my weapon pro and the fact we've started using armor mode, ..yeah i think we can call it a day, none of this de-cloak, kill, cloak - we got now cloak, armor, kill, cloak, mega fast re-load, mega fast re-load, how's that?
I ain't gonna share my secrets folks, but i will inform you, we got FY + grenade launcher + frag grenade + AY, wanna try me bro?
:P

TM and I, have hopefully, settled our differences for now. TM is just frustrated as you are, and its very easy to find people selling hacks/using hacks on video websites. That really makes people question other players. The fact that the anti-cheat is flawed, is the icing on the cake. However I don't believe you will run into a hacker every round. There are also good servers where there are active admins, on the look out for cheaters and exploiters.

Often other mechanics are at work than cheating, for example, barely any new players actively listen for footsteps, and it often requires the right setup (headphones + soundcard), to use footsteps efficiently.


BigIron, you mentioned, UT, and quake, two habits come to mind (as I played those games a lot), jumping and pointfire. The majority of guns lose a lot of accuracy when you are in the air, the exception being shotguns. Also the accuracy of point fire is very low, compared to UT and quake. You are better aiming down sights. If you jump and pointfire, the accuracy of the gun falls to like 10-20%, and lower if there is lag. Also instead of aiming directly for the head, if you aim for for the neck/upper torso your hit rate will go up, the kick of the guns and spread will usually result in headshots.
