You posted this a month ago I'm fairly certain, not sure why reposting.

I still play this mod as a bit of fun. Get hacked/scripted almost everyday, but the game is still a blat of fun on the idea alone.

If the stand-alone is release around November which Rocket indicated was a rough release date, which we all should know can change, then b-e-a-utiful and game of the year no doubt.

I just don't believe people saying they aren't encountering hackers, I'm sorry but it's bullshit.

Watch any live stream, even when their names are hidden and people aren't directly targeting them with hacking/stream sniping, they're being killed multiple times per session en masse.

Rockets own stream on IGN was rolled by hackers 3 times in an hour.

If you aren't seeing any hacking you're probably playing on servers with -3 players, but I've been thrown 500 feet in the air on low pop servers too.

Or you're a hacker, who's meta trolling us.

It's bad for the game to let it run on when it's like this, people are just going to be turned off.

I joined a UK server monday and encountered my own first hand experience with a confriemd hacker and subsequently 3 hours later I meet my second, that's two since I started playing in may.

Game's not dying, stop making sensationalist threads, just because you're tired of the game. Summer's over, we've waiting for a patch, we've been playing this for weeks and months, if you're sick and tired, take a break and play something else, instead of whining like a bitch on the forums.

I've been keeping my eye on the forums of two extremely popular sites that provide public ***s. Every time I see that a new undetected BattleEye bypasser (usually a new one every week), I just avoid the game until I start seeing the "how do I unban myself" threads from people with 1-2 posts and no avatar. I honestly think the big influx of scripters is coming from Rocket's inability to effectively address the issue.

I think I know which sites you mean, and if you follow those threads you can see the hacker "community" is very divided over this. Many hackers want to actually PLAY the game and rant at other hackers destroying it with Thunderdome, teleport kills and all that crap. Now if Rocket can't beat them he should join them.

What he should do is this: talk to the real hackers who make and distribute the hacks (not the script kids). Instead of relying on BE which is seriously fucked up, he should caress their ego, tell them how awesome they are and ASK them not to screw the game through sharing the bad hacks like god mode, mass killing and so on. Maybe he could even employ them to work on protecting the game against such hacks. They would do a much better job than BE.

He should also enable all the weapons that are currently only hackable, because what's the point in scripting them and thus risking one's CD key if they can be found the legit way? The game would also benefit from it. For example, all the crash site raids would become interesting again if there were new very rare weapons spawning. Now they are a bore with all the repetitive FALs and M14s and L85s.

If reasoning fails, he could just shrug and continue his up-hill battle against hackers. But imo starting a dialogue would be worth a try.
