Some mad tank skills there!

 

Very nice.. I try these from time to time and they are sooo satisfying!

 

LOL... I thought I was alone in my "hobby"... I've never recorded mine, but I do like putting 90mm shells down heli pilot's throats quite a lot.

 

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but I'm lately getting a lot of rubber banding and movement lag - seemingly at random. I'm strafing for example and then I get a kind of 'shake' and don't move for a half sec or kind of jolt around and it's throwing the game off for me massively. Only noticed it in the last few days/week. My connection seems fine and I investigated it with my ISP (had for 4 years, only once had downtime) who see no issues (they might just be blanking me)

Any ideas?

 

I may have experienced this last week sometime after EA/Origin went down for many hours.

I am taking a break from the game at the moment so no further testings.

 

Very nice video montage Jester.
It's definitely one of the more satisfying things to do.
I seem to find it easier to target a jet than a chopper for some reason, probably because Jets are more likely to fly in a single direction whereas chopper pilots swing all over the place.

Another very enjoyable thing is to M320 a low-flying chopper pilot, I always love doing that one.
If they're flying low enough, the chopper survives without too much damage and you get a free vehicle to claim as well.

 

LOL, had his account reset


Although seems he is still cheating

 

That is fantastic news! Really happy about it!



But... he is still cheating isn't he. I just showed his account to a friend and he looked at the accuracy/kills versus time played and said he still cheating.

 

Yeah, he has nearly 600 kills for an hours play!

So whats the point in reporting people, Dice need to perm ban people not wipe stats, thats annoying as hell

I have reported him again, i think others should aswell

 

I was told by someone else on the russian server I found him on that this guy has numerous accounts and cheats on all of them.

 

No no no no no. *Holds hands up* That's not me. The only things in the sky I've hit is a whole lot of N some O and the occasional H2O.

 

I was on a server with a guy cheating and hiatus friends where on too. They said to stop complaining as they had multiple accounts and would cheat no matter what. Fudging discusting if you ask me!!

 

I haven't been playing much but it seems cheating does seem to be on the increase. There are some that are so blatent they just stand there doing nothing whilst racking up kills. It's annoying when your team are doing well and have worked to get to that position. Then the cheat comes along and ruins the game for all involved. Whats the point as you missing out in half the fun of the game.

I think EA need to ban them or maybe put a cap on the account preventing them from progressing further. But what does EA care, they have their money already.

 

I've not experienced that many cheaters in the last couple of weeks. Maybe because I play on the same servers, which seem to be very consistent in the lack of cheaters.

 

This is not intended to be some hardcore/softcore troll post, but I can count the number of cheaters I have encountered on HC servers on the fingers of one hand. Whether it is something to do with the common gamehacks exploiting a UI glitch that isn't present in hardcore, or just the relative lack of imagination of these cheating ***** idk.

 

There will always be someone cheating one way or another, if it's not stat padding it's actual hacks or glitchers. I for one feel that I am a better player because I don't cheat. Turn off thier cheats and then watch them fail miserably.

Oh and in regards stats 885 kills or more till I am even closer to a 1.1 k/d ratio.

 

Nice. I started off with a negative KD just like you. Got it close to 1.2 now and the PKP is helping a lot with that.

 

Admittedly it would be a lot "easier" to remain undetected as a "casual" hacker on hardcore servers, but your right, i see very few.

I did have a guy no-scope 5-600 marksman headshot with the SV98 every time I left spawn.

When confronted he said "I can see your scope glare", so I switched to my pistol, remained prone for 5-10 minutes while moving under cover yet the minute I popped my head up, bang, dead.

This is from the antenna to ru spawn by the way. I have difficulty even seeing people with the 12x scope at that range, then looking on youtube you can see the "Sniper aimbot" which calculates bullet trajectory for the SV98.

Shameful, but at the same time, impressive that these guys can pull it off.

I think PB/EvenBalance should have moles on these hacking forums, and submit money to get access to the latest game hacks, if only to aid in early detection.

God knows they get enough money from the publishers of the games.

 

ahaha, the PKP is an angry pig of a gun isn't it!

I progressed from that to the T88 as my support weapon of choice, just for ranged combat as well it is a lot more accurate with the foregrip and laser sight, on 4x acog.

 

Nice. It's not that good for long range, but I do seem to find my targets a lot.
