GGC-Stream is a plugin most decent servers run that has a list of people it keeps track of and autobans them upon their entry into a server.
When you see something like "xxxx banned for - Violation (MULTIHACK) #71177" in the chatbox, it means GGC caught them and banned them before they could do any stupid shit.

One guy's hack last nite even extended to player movement; he was moving geometrically, meaning that everything was squared off, all his turns were perfect right angles, with little jukes from side to side to make him a tougher target to hit. At that point you're practically running a bot, why not go the full way and automate the player completely while you download porn ?

Oh, is that what that is ? Yes, I play on servers that run that device. What's interesting about hacker behavior is how scared they are of being placed on a "ban list". Whenever you challenge them openly on chat they will of course deny everything but then log off at the end of the round anyway, because they have so much time and money-- the Java-based hacks require paying monthly subscriptions-- invested in their player ID that they can't risk being banned. Perhaps then you should not be cheating ?

Keep in mind that, what you see in the kill cam, is often not representative of what the person is actually doing. It's just the game's best guess. The Kill Cams are especially bad, but it's always like that. That being said, I have run into maybe 1 or 2 hackers in recent memory. They were really obvious too. Most of the time, even if someone is hacking, they are SO bad at the game that it's pretty easy to kill them anyway. y
I've never run into behavior that would indicate walling. If you think about it, you're playing a game that lets people to put a big arrow over your head from half the map away. The only blatant hack I've seen is that kill you with anything bull.
Now the hit detection is handled terribly, I think. I dunno what system they use, but it almost seems like you can get out of sync with the server or something.

I don't want to belabor this, but I'm sure he was hacking. He was on my team and I followed him around for a while to observe his odd behavior. This guy clearly knew where everyone was and which direction they were facing; when I finally told him on chat to turn the hacks off, guess what ? He denied everything then logged off immediately.
For whatever reason the server doesn't show up with the "Normal" preset filter on. Same with the Hardcore setting. Only works if you turn both off.
I think that's because whatever the "preset" setting actually is, its showing as custom for the server.
edit: as far as the map list goes: 3 rounds of gun master in a row might be a bit much for some folks, maybe space them out a bit? Also, starting off with conquest assault seems like a slow way to get people on to the server.
edit 2: that could have been that preset business causing people not to see it though
Its currently on gun game, I'm set to auto spawn, if you need kills I'm only barely not afk. Server does not seem to be getting people, which could be either the search issue or just people not wanting to join empty servers.
edit: the smaller of the seine maps is definitely the better, its a bit harder to get spawn camped in it.

Honestly they need to give the semi-autos 20 round magazines and more damage. The class as a whole is just pathetic. You need one recon per team with a MAV.
Well, two maybe depending on the map/the way people are spread out. But yeah, Recon is definitely not a class worth having a ton of. Generally the team with the most Recons loses.
Seriously. Im a recon at heart. My first service stars came recon before I had even one with the others.
Now? Why be a recon ever? radar? Who cares- its jet speed close quarters....
All we ever bring to the table is The occasional completly badass MAV mumble guidance through an encounter for your team mates (which nets us very little to do this point/stat wise), a mobile spawn (made null by spawning on squadmates) and the ability to kill mans (which we are not very efficient at).
As an assault I spew death easily. I heal. I rez. I smoke when proper to. It doesnt match up.
How do they fix that and make the recon bring something to the table?
Make the recon able to trade the spawn beacon for m320 SMOKE, or longer lasting Smoke grenades. its sneaky. It fits the recon. But I dunno. they bring so god damnned little to the table.
maybe sticky grenades that can kill people/ severely hinder vehicle movement untill repaired (but not necesarrily kill.) This is ontop of having the frags.
But my beloved recon does not bring good tools to help the others on my squad.
Part of the problem with Recon is that it involves a TON more work and skill than the other classes in order to do what an assault player can do while drunk and half asleep. Granted, a good Recon that's on the ball is the grim fucking reaper at all ranges, but you've basically got to be an unholy headshot machine to make it happen. The overwhelming vast majority of players just cannot get the Recon to operate at the level required to make it an asset to the team. Then again, the overwhelming vast majority of players are complete chickenshits that sit 1000 yards away trying to get headshots and missing 99/100 shots.
What I'd like to see is this:
The TUGS needs to be an infinite use item on a cooldown that can just be thrown like a an ammo/med crate. Right now it is completely fucking useless compared to the MAV.
MAV is fine.
C4 and lots of it. Take it away from the support who should have never had it in the first place and give it back to the rightful lords of stealth nuking things.
The SOFLAM is fine these days.
The Spawn Beacon should not cause people to parachute in on open maps. It's supposed to be a sneaky spawn toy that guards against squad wipes, but it's kinda bad at that. Its size was fine before it got an antennae big enough to pick up Direct TV on.
Gun wise we're fine save for the stupid amount of bolt action rifles that keep being thrown at us.

I agree with the C4. Every other class has a tool for dealing with vehicles
heh heh, he said "tool"
except for Recon. This can't be an accident, DICE obviously felt that Recon with C4 contradicted their long range support role.
I like the idea of running recons with c4...but maybe have it replace the mav/tugs. Being able to c4 your motion sensor would be a bit nuts. Not that you couldn't do that in bc2.
Now I miss the sensor balls.

Also adding GCC to the server, forgot that one...

Yeah I bet playing with 130ms ping is gonna totally level the playing field :P

You may have taken a day off, but we are still at work.
There was a legit and blatant hack on FART just the other d.....oh
Have you tried to log into the dome yet?
UNACCEPTABLE.
No, I'll do it later!
I had it on my favorites but now it just doesn't exist. The link in my sig was to the server page, but now it just 404s.

give us a link to the server because I ain't pulling up anything
This iPhone app to control it is tits.
Is there a votemap script on the server?
Yes. If it's not working, we will check it out tonight.

Ouch? Not sure where that came from.
Guess I'll stick to not paying for servers.
