New Game

[davidcastle 19]

Honestly this guy should be shown no remorse. I can't tell you the countless times i've been killed by hacking. We even had our clan stash destroyed before our eyes. had a full covered truck pickup and all of us max geared and this invincible guy shooting sniper rounds outa an m4 teleports into us blows up our PBX ARMY TRUCK and pickup. Hell 9/10 of my deaths in this game have been to hackers! >.<

AntiCheat matters may ban over IP, but it's no use. AFAIK all IP addresses can be either changed or spoofed.

99% of the time they ban the CD Key, just so you can in fact get a new game if you want. More money for them anyway, and they'll catch you again anyway.

@Whoever said it's different from a single player game: Depends on what he hacked. If he hacked a tank in and fucked everyone up, sure; if he spawned in 5 cans of beans for himself, not really.

Don't think he'll buy the game over and over.

The fact that he had the balls to come over here and be honest, said that he didn't kill anyone (so basically didn't affect anyones experience), shows me he's probably a nice guy.

And yes, you are right, respect needs to be earned, but you have to give someone the chance to show you that. If I post something and 10 people shit on me, I'm probably not gonna come on this forum to help anyone out ever again.

It's not about him, it's about everyone.

If you think he all he did was hack some beans, i think your being a bit naive.

Why would you hack to get some basic items like beans/food which can be found anywhere within 5 minutes?

Why would you risk your game being banned for this? Seriously?

I'm not for one minute saying has has done anything major, just pointing out that it is probably very unlikely someone would cheat just to give themselves something so common.

Okay as I said I'm new to the game. So I played for 30 mintues kept dying by zombies used my brain gave myself an m4 and survived. that's pretty much it. I didn't kill anyone just zombies. I don't know why you are hating. you must be mad cause I'm capable of something that you are not. stop hating.

If you don't wanna help why the fuck would you even bother post a reply?

Nobody wants to help you.

You hacked and you are banned. Enjoy COD.

I'm not hating at all. Read my posts and tell me where the hate is please? I am being civil and objectional.

Not once have i given you any abuse.

Most players can survive without hacking, whereas you had to hack to give yourself a gun, your really not doing yourself any help here.

I must be mad cos your capable of doing something i'm not?

eh?

I'm capable of trying to survive without spawning myself a gun. Your statement doesn't make any sense at all.

Being able to run a script </> hacking.

It also does not require any skill.

If you really were a software programmer/engineer, you wouldn't be asking for an unban, since - from what I know, you guys earn a shit ton, so you'd just buy another OA.

Also, IF you are over 18 - which I doubt - I'd hope to god you are mature enough not to hack/cheat or try to get an unfair advantage over other players.

Not really what I meant. I merely used it as an example.

My point was that you don't know what he did, and therefore you shouldn't punish him.

He came here for help after he did something wrong. By the looks of this thread you lot would hang a convict no matter what it was he did. Not every hacker is the same.

And as he posted above, he got himself an m4 and killed zombies.

Yes, he hacked.

Yes, he deserves his ban.

No, it did not affect your experience.

Yes, he deserves a second chance.

Everyone deserves a second chance. Especially in a video game.

Now, if he'd do it again, that'd be different.

He didn't ask for an unban, he asked if he was able to play again with a new copy.

But what if a "FRIEND" uses his account and hacks?

And then poor little guy will be banned again? We can't have that can we?

Don't think that will happen. As he said, he just wants to play the game.

Either way, my posts aren't about him hacking anymore, it's about the reactions to his confession and question.

During this alpha, and this growth, this community becomes what it will later be. If everyone keeps behaving like this it won't be a nice community.

He did something, confessed it, asked for help, and you let him down. Do you know how your prison and rehabilitation system works? Not like that. Just because he did something wrong, doesn't mean he's a douchebag out there to ruin your fun.

[FrostDMG 398]

I say we cut his internet and put him in solitary

The guy clearly knew the rules, he broke them anyway. The rules are there for a reason, that's why he was banned. All the sorries in the world don't mean a damn thing, when you break the rules, you accept the risks. I for one do not want people like that in this community. Playing devils advocate is all well and good, and i applaud you for doing so, but this situation is very cut and dry, let it go.

I am not saying his actions should be without consequence, I'm saying the reactions in the thread (especially first page) are not the nicest of the lot. You and some others are responding to me, discussing it. The others just gave him shit.

[Caine Hollow 5]

People are way too hard and short sighted!

(to op, lesson learned? Good for you, have fun on next account, obey rules)

The rest of ya...

Correct me if im wrong (long term benefits of forgiving hackers)

A game/server that gets hacked got weaknesses right?

Statements are for real hackers not paid services..

1.Former (cooperative) hacker should be able to aid in security breaches.

2. A hacker gettin killed like you prolly gets pissed on the other hacker...

Prolly are other benefits, but my lunchbreak is over.

And on side note before flames

Statements are imaginary, seeing shit on bright side, and my pc skills are install a game and google readme/tutorial,

Simply put, got no programming skill, purily fictional thought.
