Permaban for cheaters

  1. In tactical slayer (swat) an opponent had radar, shields and aimbot. Could see that from theater.
  2. An opponent killed me with just 2 mangler shots, when we all know it’s supposed to kill in 3 or 4 shots.
  3. An opponent killed me punching me and shooting AT THE SAME TIME with the shotgun
  4. An opponent survived rockets on his feet (no overshield)
  5. I got killed through a wall where I was hiding. Enemy’s AR shots clearly “didn’t see” the wall, like it didn’t exist.
  6. An opponent’s BR was shooting like an AR (devastating)
  7. An opponent killed me just with 3 (THREE) shots of AR and one punch (while we all know it needs at least 1/4 of ammo and one punch)

Must I continue the list?

343, PERMABAN FOR CHEATERS. AND GIVE US THE CHANCE TO DEACTIVATE CROSSPLAY. (AND FIX BTB, BROKEN SINCE ALMOST A MONTH)

Don’t perm ban them.

Just let them play in a blank map with one another. with no weapons and objects or land scape. Just a void to stair at each other at.

Should be hardware ban.

I think a lot of the issues you’re describing are actually server/connection issues.

But yes, permaban verified cheaters. Not that it is hard for them to create new accounts.

Since this game is Free 2 Play. Maybe we should be trying to keep them contained in a sense and not just out right banning them. Instead, make it that they only get matched up with other cheaters.

Then we just hope for the best that they don’t catch on, create another throw away account and reinstall the game to play legitiment players instead again.

I’m gonna have to test this out, but there’s a good chance radar is turned on in theater mode somehow, along with a shield bar. This might be a theater issue.

Aimbot is a more likely tell, although it has been mistaken before.

To my knowledge there aren’t any “damage” modifying hacks circulating. It’s possible you took damage from somewhere/someone else making it look like two shots.

This is entirely doable legitimately.

Rockets are weirdly inefficient in this game.

Server latency/desync will make things look like this. It’s most likely the server interpreting that you’re dead before get to cover.

Would love to see this if you have the clip.

It’s entirely possible there was more ammo fired than you realized.

Only if you include some evidence backing up your claims. Would love to see these examples play out and get a better idea of what’s going on.

Agreed that cheaters should be banned, but honestly at best you might only have one example of a cheater here.

Yeah, that’s a thing with Theater mode. They have different settings set, ie Radar is on regardless of game mode.

Only thing you can really tell in Theater mode is if they are tracking targets through walls. The aimbot thing would just be a suspicion if aim is super fast (could just be a good mouse player)

So you can confirm this as fact?

You’re absolutely right, this has been one of the easiest things to verify by far.

Aimbotting is easiest seen when the camera snaps to a target, but it can be masked in some cases.

Regardless the way theater mode works though, short of seeing this “snap” it’s really hard to tell.

Not trying to rag on the guy, but this is why video would go a long way in figuring out what’s the deal in these cases.

I have not investigated, but have never seen Radar off in Theater mode. So it’s more likely this is Theater rather than everyone cheating.

In fact they have to ban their router or hardware and not only the account

I could see that after a kill, his visual always moved automatically on a certain point of the map where enemies respawned. Also, he didn’t miss a single shot even while just turning a spot where his enemy was. Too much fast and accurate

It doesn’t explain a BR shooting like an AR. And it doesn’t explain mangler killing in 2 shots. And also it doesn’t explain the visual moving automatically on a certain point of the map where the opponent team respawned (talking about tactical slayer). That guy didn’t miss a single spot and shot

About the mangler fact: nope, there were no assists by someone. I always check it when I die in a strange way.

About AR: I’ve counted the ammo shots on theater. 3.

About BR shooting like an AR: unfortunately I haven’t this clip because after this I quit the game. But I’m sure of it! The opponent was in front of me at 2 meters, so I could see that well. There wasn’t the classic pauses between the shots. And nope before u ask: he didn’t switch from AR to BR.

Anyway, next time i’ll be glad to include proofs on a video, even if it requires a little bit of patience and time. But trust me, im not a liar. Even because I wouldn’t be here wasting my time

permaban has no use since there can super easy bypass it by use a fake IP and e-mail so there can easy make a new account.
thats for PC players then.

and the deactivate crossplay idea i am only going to tell this:
it has been suggest years ago all and on other threads there are also telling the same thing there wane see with crossplay system so its waiting what 343 is going to do with that idea.

They have to ban the router and not only the ip. They have to ban the pc or console cause in this way they can’t play even if they create a new account and have a fake ip.

Genuinely curious about how the hacking/ cheating works. Is it just players that might buff their health shield or damage slightly to give an edge?

Might be the de syncing issues mentioned by players, but it seems every now and then there are players that are bullet sponges or take a back slap without dying.

I avoid swat like the plague, A competent PC M&kb player can wipe the floor with console.
