Just came out of a game with some kiddie (Steam name "dainazinas") who was clearly cheating. Can't really do much either since there's no dedicated servers which would ensure better protection against cheating kids.

At first I thought it was a wallhack but then we realized it seems to be an aimbot with no recoil too. I found out the hack is available for public download after people pay for it.

Of course there are cheaters already, check youtube and you will find heaps of hacker footage. As fun as this game is, I don't think it will last too long because the hackers pretty much can't be banned or kicked from games.

Not if we had something called dedicated servers and admins.

I thought the fact that it went through a steam server avoids pirates?

HAHAHA. Steam = No Pirates :P... Pirates are not idiots, most of them are smarter than you and I. They just adapt and crack.

You'll have to wait 2-3 weeks till VAC bans their accounts then they won't be able to play MP at all... forget specific servers.

There are many VAC bypasses available and even if they do get banned, there is always a workaround.

There were wallhacks and aimbots available from day one, so I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone.

Dedicated servers works against hackers in two ways: it lets the administrators the power to ban/kick cheaters and since these servers usually are played by the same community is more easier to detect new cheaters, because between regular members there's some sense of respect and fair play if you were playing the same people for months. With IWNET none of those dissuasive methods are available.

I mean, what game DOESN'T have some cheaters? Games are code: code can be hacked. There are always those that will consider winning at all far better than winning FAIRLY.

Google it, if you want the truth it's rampant in online MP FPS games. They will never be able to stop it.

Obviously, but the point is if we can't ban em you can toss them out. There are groups out there that have banlists. Like for Americas Army. When a dedicated server in this group finds a hacker they report it and ban him. Now hes banned on all dedicated servers in this group.

yea but good games have dedicated servers with admins that can ban cheaters. See where MW2 went wrong yet? Cheaters run riot with no recourse.

i don't see how a mp game with no support for third party dedicated servers and absolutely no map or modding tools released to the public will survive very long release a pc game with those 2 things and the community will generate new content by it self.

Wut? Had to wait for it to be activated by steam... and cracked. Took like.. the night of the release. but yeah MP has been cracked already so the whole no dedicated servers working against piracy (as a little biproduct) failed.

Even if there are no dedicated servers, they really should have a vote feature for kicking a player. I don't own the game, so I'm just assuming it doesn't already have that feature. If IW expects VAC to handle the hackers, they are more incompetent than I thought. Well, not really :P

Oh yeah. I've encountered them already too. I see the replay and he's aiming at me from across the map before he can even see me, then shoots me as soon as he's got a clear path. His score was like 20-3 and thats hard to achieve when everyone is just learning the maps and layout.
