To the people Crying "Hacker" all the time

[archamedes 238]

just please, take a step back for a second and think outside the box. You are sometimes the same people who point at a cloud and call it a ufo without ticking off all logical explanations first. Trust me, this post isn't intended to feed the hackers troll boner, because we all know they love for us to talk about them, so no this is not about you, so go away.

 

What I am talking about is some of the shit I keep seeing people write on the facebook pages and elsewhere, so I am going to copy and paste some of the crap I have seen people write to which i have helped try to clear up.

 

"A hacker shot me through a wall, i was hiding in a house and he shot me through the wall from the outside."

 

Yes, yes he did, but there is still an issue with walls that may cause bullets to pass through, the exact same reason why some zombies still glitch through walls. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself. Shoot your mates through a wall of a building, any building and see what happens, just don't accuse them of being hackers.

 

"I was running through a town and suddenly I am dead, I didn't hear the shot, it must have been a hacker."

 

What a coincidence, silent death kills suddenly start happening around about the same time they introduced silencers and gillie suits, it must be a conspiracy.

 

"I was checking out a building, it was empty and had no windows, I suddenly got the you are dead screen, a hacker killed me."

 

Actually no, not necessarily, this same thing happened to me & I may have came to the same conclusion (or assumed someone snuck in after me and shot me) But I was in a police station with 2 of my friends, there was nobody else on the server and while i was checking one of the store rooms i died. My mates came running in, my wife was one of them i saw her screen and there was my body with ruined trousers, nohing else was ruined, just the trousers. There was nobody else in the building,, so this was due to some bug that glitch killed me. Had I been on my own on that occasion I would have thought something sinister was going on & may myself probably pulled the hacker card, but more or less put it ddown to someone sneaking in behind me.

 

"He was glitching all over the place, he is a hacker."

 

Ok ok, I know there is some script that is used by hackers to make them impossible to shoot, but not always the case to put this down to hackers. Could also be a desync issue.

 

"I knew he was a hacker he had an m4"

 

Yeah, i face palmed at this one.

 

So yeah, I don't deny there is still and always be a hacker issue in game, but I think half the accusations I read about hold no weight or are actually things that can be explained and half the time, those who pull the hacker card are just bitter because they lost their character of 5 days or didn't pay attention to the open area theyran into and got their ass handed to them.

Actually, I'll just lock this.

Otherwise people will counter it with 'evidence', evidence that should rather be reported to a forum team member instead.

 

Remember people: Help fight the cheaters, don't do their advertising for them.

 

 

Locked.
