Just survived my first hacker.

[Kocot 35]

So there I was. Trotting along the airstrip with my newly found M16A2 ACOG with around fifteen clips of STANAG ammo from a freshly raided ammo box, a 24-slot bag and a helluva lot o' beans, then suddenly, boom!

A mass of heads were on top of me, the tarmac was whipped from under my feet to be replaced by a muddy field. I immediately aborted, fearing the worst.

Good bloody job I did too.

Everyone came back into the lobby, going ape-shit over the voice comm's - Looked like there was a hacker after all.

Now, just a thought:

If one was to carry a frag and immediately drop it should they be teleported, would it still explode after aborting? Thus killing all those (Including the hacker) that were teleported? If so, would that be considered a legitimate tactic?

Regards,

Kocot.

No, the hacker most likely has godmode.

The time it takes for you to react to what just happened, plus the animation time it takes to throw a grenade leaves you vulnerable to fire from any of the other teleport victims or the hacker himself.. not worth it if you're worried about losing your character.

This. As well as ruining other players days, just like yourself. Just abort, it's the only way to "win".

Ah hackers...

Funny lot. Even with hacks they can't seem to complete the transaction most of the time. Unless, they just thunderdome everyone.

The last hacker that tried to get me, teleported behind me on a server I just joined (2 minutes). I was on the west side of Electro north of the western barn, deep in the trees. I am a very careful player and was checking my six constantly. Then, right after the last time I checked my six, i hear SD fire but it was close. I take some damage and as I am turning around, there is nothing there but the gunfire is still going. I see gun bursts from thin air about 20 feet away. I then proceed to run away. I get around a tree and I get shot again, but this time he was behind me (teleported) as I was facing my six direction to see if I was being followed. This time, I wasn't so lucky. I had like 2000 blood, down from 8K. I decided then to alt-f4. If they aren't gonna play fair, neither am I. I ended up on a server with 3K and bleeding, but no unconc state (thank god). I proceeded to hunt for about an hour and got my blood back up to 12K. FU, hacker.

I have another story where I said a hacker's parents were meth heads and probably raped him as a child. He proceeded to try to crash a heli into me, plus about a half a dozen satchels. Nothing, he did some damage, but I was still at around 7900 or so. We then had a talk, in the barn in prig, it was pleasant. And, even with all his teleporting might and the fact I had to run down those stairs in the double door barn (hate those stairs). He still couldn't get me. I alt-f4ed with around 3500K. He then told one of my friends that I was on the server with, that I was a dick. LOL.

Been playing about a month or so and I've only come across the one hacker. I've been pretty lucky then eh?

On the subject of worrying about losing a character: Isn't that what brings us back to the game? Gathering enough supplies to hold our own. Then losing it all in a moment of carelessness.

If it's a fair kill, I don't mind. But the whole teleporting? That's a piss-take and calls for an Alt+F4 / Swift abort.
