Sadly there are hackers in H4...

Games Other Halo
1

Although many people scream at me " You can’t hack in H4", I’m yet to hear an explanation as too how some people can constantly two shot you with a DMR/BR/Carbine WITHOUT damage boost, they are the only ones facing me, when I have full shields…
Or how about when they can spawn with a power weapon like a Binary rifle…
Or how about surviving TWO rockets in a confiend space when they don’t have an overshield…
Or probably my favourite one, where they can somehow shoot through walls/rocks, and I’m not talking lag here, I’m talking about right through a wall…

Before anyone comments, I’ve accounted for lag, and I’ve theatred this and checked they were the only ones around, etc and so on.

Therefore there must be hackers in H4, which sadly ruins it for everyone…but hopefully 343 or Microsoft will ban these hackers ASAP

Well it’s easy really — BXR is back.

Did you save the video of this happening?

I don’t know how to tell you this, but microsofts enforecement team doesn’t do crap.

Anyway, Spawning with a binary: Could have called down ordinance, or picked it up of the ground.

2 shot by a DMR? Sounds like lag. Your game doesn’t register the other three shots being fired. Also, do you have a clip to show us? That would really help analyze things.

Two rockets in a confined space… well, -Yoink!- happens. Thats happened to me on reach countless times, it doesn’t mean they’re hacking.

As for getting shot trough walls etc. that is, whether or not you want to accept it, lag. Also, there are wall breaches riddeled across these maps, which are glitches in the walls (example, complex and haven wall glitches.)

If you are basing any of these things off of kill cams, don’t. Kill cams are buggy as heck and don’t show anything near what’s really going on.

As for you using theater: Theater doesn’t show the whole story. It shows how YOUR game saw it, not how THEIR game saw it.

  1. Your not being killed with 2 shots, your being team killed from a different view.
    2.They don’t spawn with them, random weapons drop at the beginning of the game, OR you’re joining a game with people that has already killed enough people for an ordnance drop
  2. That happens to me and works with me also. You would think that splash damage is wide on this game, but it isn’t, so the guy was probably not in the range of the splash damage.
  3. They don’t really shoot through walls. The hitbox is so big that when your turning a curve and you have no shields. They can aim and hit AROUND the head without even hitting the ACTUAL head.

So if your sick of people having an advantage by hacking. All I can say is stop playing or if you can’t beat’em join’em.

no one else has this problem. doing poorly in a game doesn’t mean the other side is hacking, you might be s***

7

Hacking is in every game. Nothing you can do besides maybe try to report it. Sounds more to me like your connection is bad.

I don’t know why anyone would want to cheat in halo anyway. You rank up to fast as it is without cheating

8

I have yet to see a hacker.

Sadly any video game can be hacked one way or another. Though why one would do this still confuses me. Ok so you can kill your enemies with no effort, so what? Where is the challenge? I bet it would be fun for a while but it would most likely get boring sooner or later. I do hate hackers who make themselves god-like (though I imagine that they are just trying to compensate for something I can not say on here) I dont hate hackers who only give them access to all the armor and stuff like that since it does not change game play for anyone. Seriously, if you find out that a guy on the enemy team hacked the game so he could get the Fotus armor he was using would you care? ok, I think I have gone off on a bit of a tangent here so I will just leave it at that.

I’ve been seeing this more & more over the past week. I’ve been experiencing many of the same issues and, like you, it’s not my network speed - I’ve got a 20mbps connection so no issues there. I uploaded a video to my fileshare earlier today from a Team Slayer game on Abandon. One guy absolutely dominated the entire game while no one else (also no one from his team) had more than 5 or 6 kills. I would be in an area with no enemies around me (no camo or crouched enemies either) and would die from either one or two DMR shots - not even headshots - while my shields were at full.

The very next game (which I haven’t uploaded yet) was on Complex and I was in a building standing in a corner with no enemies nearby by. Suddenly I’m dead, still with no enemy in sight. There were no sight lines to be sniped and no holes in any of the walls where I was located.

I actually like Halo 4 more than I thought I would - I’m not a 343 hater by any means. But this sort of thing is really killing my interest in continuing to play matchmaking. I’ve been averaging about 5-6 matchmaking hours per day since the game came out and I’m seeing hacked games at least 3 or 4 times per day.

i came across only one hacker, maybe. I didn’t save the vid so I know it didn’t happen. he 1 shot DMR’d me. the gun was a DMR but the sound was of a sniper rifle. i watched it again in theater and it was a DMR he had but it shot as a sniper, maybe not a hacker, maybe a gun visual glitch.

I dont think it was a connection error. Those are usually tied with freezes and lag. Also he went back and watched that happened after the game which (to my knowlege) would not be affected by lag.

OP has not encountered a hacker, why do so many people post these threads without a shred a video evidence? I can count on one hand the number of actual hackers I’ve run into in THOUSANDS of online matches. Just stop already.

14

Also for those who keep saying ‘no one else has seen this’, I have to disagree. There are plenty of people seeing this that have reported it in this forum as well as other forums. Seems to be getting more prevalent as time goes on, actually.

15

I don’t have the stuff needed to get a video off my Xbox atm, and since we don’t have a fileshare atm, It’ll have to wait a bit until I can upload the clips, unless there’s another way?

Spawning with a power weapon… I’ve actually seen them die in theatre and they immediately SPAWN with a power weapon

Shooting through wall… I mentioned that I did not count ones that were most likely lag, the one I have in mind was in Longbow, the highest bunker,I was just under the hole in the roof and no one around me or on top of the base, and bang, sniped through a wall. Go to theatre and yep this guy clean snipes me through a wall…

Not dying from 2 rockets…normally I’d agree but when it happened twice in one game, with no detectable lag, against the same guy, you start to get very suspicious…

2 shotted by rifles, etc… Most times I have gone to theatre and I HAVE been teamshotted, but theres been quite a few times when it’s just me and the hacker, and I cannot see anyone else shooting me, I’ve even gone so far as to look at what every other player in the game has been aiming at when it happened, and no one else was even remotely looking in my direction but the hacker…

Few other things. I’m not the best Halo player, but neither am I the worst, I know the difference between getting my -Yoink- handed to me and being killed by a hacker…
My connection is pretty damn good, I pull host about 50% of the time, and all these hacking incidents have occurred in games were there is no noticable lag… (not that this is proof, just saying)
Oh and I know killcams are useless, that’s why I have them turned off…

Think I’ve covered everything, I’ll try and upload clips if I can figure out how :confused:

16

Yeah, I have really not seen a hacker. Just lag for me.

17

Put it on your file share and I’ll render it so we can see what is happening.

Halo 4 has file share and rendering right? lol

18

Nah, there isn’t a file share option or rendering yet for H4, think it’s coming soon.
If there was a fileshare accessible online, I’d be able to show everyone the hard evidence, but looks like it’ll have to wait a bit longer…

19

Put it on your file share. It works if you search for a GT. I won’t believe you until you provide an evidence.

> Nah, there isn’t a file share option or rendering yet for H4

Oh, well that’s a bummer, the previous two Halo games had that.
