Hey,

Just been playing some UT3 DM and have come across a couple of people that have aim bots! I haven't really seen any since the game came out but I've seen 2 today. Has anyone else noticed anyone with them?

Is there going to be anything like punk buster released for UT3 or anywhere I can report names of people who are cheating?

I was just starting to get into playing this online, I don't want it to be ruined by cheats :(

Thanks

Matt

EDIT: Thinking about it, should I be suprised, I haven't play any PC games for a few years, not since HL2 came out, do cheats appear this quickly?

games can be hacked within minutes, dont be suprised if there is a ton of hacks out already. but you sure you weren't just upset from getting pwned and need an excuse? ;)
 
There was an aim bot out for the demo in under 6 hours a few months back and the protection system isnt really set up yet been lots of game server operator staff not happy with the limited functions yet in UT3.

Demo's & beta's tend to help speed the process up as they'll give the coders the basic template and it'll just need tweaking for retail.
 
Yeah you have to wait a few moths for all the basic hacks to come out then get blocked, and then its slower each time as a better coder has to make each one, still there's always going to be hackers.

Heh, I kept noticing that the player was coming first by a long margin on every map so went to spectate them to pick up some tips but it was blatent cheating, just instant 180s, 100% hits with mini gun etc. The one thing I did notice is that they mustn't be able to do shock combos. The player found a group of other slogging it out and rather than fire a shock combo into the middle of them decided to shoot them one by one with the shock rifle (obviously 100% accuracy there too).

I was hoping after my long stint off from online gaming that maybe it's got better but obviously not :( just have to try and find some good servers. I tend to just play on jolts as they seem to have the lowest ping

this is true and very sad :(

if they wanna cheat ive got nothing against them hosting their own ceat servers its the spoiling of the games for the legit players.

past few days there hasnt been a day where i havent came across at least one cheater, but then i play et probably one of the most hacked games as its free.

games that have proper paid for cdcodes should have less cheats as the cost of buying a new game puts them off if they get caught. saying that last time i browsed one of the more popular cheat forums there seemed to be cheats available for most new games :mad:

... or maybe you encountered some really good players?

I was by no means a great deathmatcher in '04 but could at least hold my own.
I played a deck server one night, and was on a 30-40 odd kill streak 0 deaths... when people started calling me a cheat. The players in question were purely rubbish at it, plain and simple.

Now I'm not calling you rubbish mate, but you yourself said that you haven't played in years, and UT has always been one of those games where a good players will cream a less experienced player. Do you think maybe this was the case?

edit: have you played a UT game before?

Yes I have played ut before, yes it was an aimbot, I have played enough online games to know what to look out for (CS, Q2, Q3, UT2004 etc etc), just haven't played online PC games for a while (had a 360).

I was going to get a video of it in fraps and figure out how to upload it so other people can see what to look out for but by the time I had come out, loaded fraps and gone in the server was full.

I knew I'd get all this nonsense if I posted this without proof, just trying to make other people aware of it that's all.
 
I encountered one the other night on one of the multiplay DM servers and I have been playing for years. What was significant is the time it takes to reach the frag limit....with anyone using an aimbot its VERY quick....the scoreboard time after time was aimbot 40 kills 2-5 deaths, next player 10 kills etc....map after map, on spectate its very evident especially using minigun and as mentioned no shock combos at all
 
I'm not really too supprised. Hacks come out constantly. It's very sad that they have to hack the game to become good. I mean, why bother buying a game thats not even going to be fun? As surely constant aimbot/speedhack/wallhack etc etc gets boring. Fast.

You mean hacks :)

cheats = developer made

hacks = custom made

pedantic mode,

hacking is actually something different again hacking code kinda similar to the pirate scene crackers, hackers etc .

to me its cheating or hacking same thing really gaining an unfair advantage.
suppose you could argue that customising a config file is hacking it which i personally do. been called a cheater quite a few times but its mostly those that arnt very savy on how to play the game usually help them understand the effect of changing thir config file and show them how it helps.

What sort of changes are you talkin about? make people standign out etc? Its just cheap ways of winnign.

In css people change their rates to make them harder to hit etc. Lame. I used to have many friends who owned servers and was admin on a lot of them, always lookin out of the hackers they never got past us :p lol.

All you need is servers with good admins on and hackers dont bother as they just get banned.

yeah not fond people playing with crap rates, snaps and maxpackets.
personally i change the usual stuff which is all still restricted values, viewbob, mouse pitch acceleration and sensetivity, other stuff for frame rate benefit like texture detail (i have oldie pc) some stuff like turning off wolfparticles can give an advantage as you can see through arty drops but is a menu changable setting.

mostly i change the settings most people do on etpro its some of the lads on etpub / jaymod that dont know how to setup the config hence why your more likely to be called a cheater there.
that and the fact they are generally newer to the game + the bigger hitboxes making for easier kills.

while i do wish for a generic set configuration as with consoles on pcs its just not possible too many different machines all capable of varing standards of framerate the ability to change the config make some game a touch more playable for some.

beg to differ cheats are now a lot more advanced, take et for example and etbot. humanised aiming, clean pb screenshots etc.

some of them are quite hard to tell the difference between a very good player and a bot

this may be true of games that require a paid for cd-code but for us poor et players ban is only temporary as dynamic ips and deleting the etkey and a name change your back in business. the only true ban is a ip subnet ban which also bans legit players on that subnet.
