Cheating in Multi-Player Games

[bpatters69]

Hello Folks,

I am really into Call of Duty and I have been playing it for about a month in Multi-player mode. For the first 2 - 3 weeks, I had no idea (yes, I was naive) that some players would resort to cheating to beef up their kill count. Examples of the cheating are:

Aiming Bots
Bots that immediately take the aiming cursor to an opponents head for an easy headshot
Lag cheats - as I understand it, Lag cheats make cheating players harder to hit

Anyone know of any other cheats? I have installed Punkbuster and I only play on Punkbuster servers but I am pretty sure that the cheaters still find ways to cheat. As an example, at times I go up against other players who seem to jump a lot higer than other players.

Is Punkbuster the only way to minimize cheaters' cheats?

Comments, suggestions?

Thanks, Bill

join a clan, sometimes they run cleaner games, otherwise just don't play on servers that cheaters use. its really hard to tell. I love CoD but I get really sick of cheaters too, there doesn't seem to be too many but it doesnt make the game very fun. I got 1st place 4 times in a row a couple days ago on a server of 32 people, felt great we should setup an AT CoD clan

Cool by me. I am still a beginner. I get pretty beat up by the 14 year olds. Most times, I am about even on kills to deaths rato. I found a Forum called After Hourz that you might be interested in. They advertise that they are vigilant against cheaters. The culture of the forum is very against cheating too.

Have you seen any other cheats than what I have mentioned? There is one other one that I have heard of which is the ability to walk through walls.

Not sure about other games... but PB does more bad for Battlefield Vietnam than good. Can you say lag?

PB does not lag. I don't know how long they've had PB in B:V, as I don't follow the PB crowd anymore, but I know Battlefield lagged period. It may take time for it to get properly integrated. PB is worth it, it does things that should be available in every MP game today. Like global hardware banning. Hackers can't play any PB games once they are caught hacking PB, and they are always caught.
