COD4 And Hacks: verifying suspected players

[Jas]

The COD4 server I usually play on got hit pretty hard this weekend with players using hacks. Some of which PB wasn't detecting. We had our suspicions though, you don't come on to this server and rack up 70+ kills per game, as most of the players are VERY good.

So we started checking the ban lists.... And sure enough we found their names on the PB ban lists.

So, what shoudl you do if you suspect a hacker? Well first off, just because a player is doing well doesn't mean he's a hacker. There are some REALLY good players out there, so just cause you are getting owned, don't immediately suspect a hacker.

Things to look for:

1) players seemingly knowing where everyone is on the map. Could be evidence of a wallhack/ESP hack. For instance, lets say you just killed the guy, and not a second later you are killed by him from his spawn point halfway across the map, and this happens more than once....
2) excessive kills through walls. (especially headshots)
3) players shooting in directions their avatar is not pointed.
4) MASSIVE kill counts. we're talking 60+ consistantly againt GOOD players.

Ok so you suspect someone, GO HERE or HERE

Oh, don't always go by player names either: Get their GUID by....

SHIFT + ~
type in /pb_plist


Search for that players name. If you get a hit, report it to your server admin. If the player is a REAL douche, call him out in chat after the match, and reference him being caught before.

What?

I think what you are asking is what clans are all about. Some play competitively in various leagues, and some are just casual. The clan I am in is just casual. We just like to have a "home" with people we know.

Run by the Goblin Army. Usually some good players on in the evenings, and the weekends.

It's a TDM HC server, no Heli, Reflective FF.

Many clans are organized, and have their own servers, including voice. So yes, you can communicate in game.

 

[bernardben]

well i would be happy to join a organised clan if possible :S:S:S any out there?

 

[Godfather1138]

Yeah, my caln is organised. We own several servers for COD4, BF2, Frontlines off and on, BHD, and have vent and GSC voice servers. We only compete in friendly clan v clan challenges so we don't have all the required scrimage crap. Just come play and have fun. PM me if you are interested in checking them out. I won't pimp them in the open forums b/c I don't want to seem like I'm trying to promote them as that may be against forum rules.


BTW Jas, thanks for the links. I was recently given admin powers for our COD4 server, and didn't know PB kept arcives of known cheaters. That will come in handy.

 

[bernardben]

whats ur gamertag then so that i can add you??

 

[Godfather1138]

gamertag? as in xbox? I play on PC only, and play under Godfather-POD- My XFire ID is Godfather1138.

Well those lists are maintained by seperate organizations than PB, but they are a great place to check to see if someone you suspect is using a hack has been banned before. It's just like criminals, most are repeat offenders.

I think I'll hop on your server sometime this week, or over the weekend, and check it out. Can you PM me the IP?

I play on Exo's tactical server... I don't have the IP with me. It is a no running/crouch only server. the no running makes for some long fun games and forces you to think a little before walking around the next corner. I would suggest giving it a try if you never have.

Back on the hacking, a couple nights ago I was playing and every time I shot this one guy (got the 'X' to show i hit him), I would immediately die. Sometime i would get two or three shots of that would hit him and then i would die. Is this a hack or am i just that bad.

 

[SteveLord]

Can servers finally disable heli and airstrikes? Or is that just a server rule?

(If they still havent added that in recent patches, then this game is still lame)

You can't remove them, but for choppers you can basically give them 1 health, so one shot they die.

Did it say who killed you? He or someone else may just have got you quicker. That's usually nto a problem in Hard Core since every weapon is a 1 or two shot kill (except through walls).

It could also be you are mismatched against his weapon. If you have a slow firing weapon, and he has a fast firing weapon, he may get off the shots needed to take you down befor eyou get off yours. You see this alot with P90's and M4's vs other weapons, since they both have insane ROF.

Tried adding that ip tonight and it didn't work, server down?

 

[Godfather1138]

Here is the Padres of Destruction server info: 208.167.245.110:28960

It is the same server that we used for the last game night

 

[terran2k]

I played COD 4 Multiplayer this weekend for the 1st time, can't say I like it too much. It's a nade fest. Then you spawn and you get hit with bombs from an air strike, then you re-spawn and you move 2 feet and you get hit with nade spam. You kill a guy, he drops a nade as his dead body falls, and you cant move away in time and you're dead. I guess Im just used to America's Army where people down re-spawn and dont have all those fancy perks. But I'll keep playing it, maybe I'll get a good perk to kill people faster, double tap seems nice so far.

 

[insanemonkey]

Terran2k, the perks do help a lot if you can find a combination that works well for you. Also try some different servers like hardcore servers they tend to have better players and there is less nade spaming. Just like with most games you have to shop around to find a server that fits the way you want to play.
