so is Cheating/hacking going on in the MA too?
« on: August 04, 2007, 06:47:51 PM »
or is it just limited to H2H..

ive been playing AH (on and off) for many years and only once have seen any sort of overt hacking/cheating.. that being in the MA where a P51 was dropping dozens of 4000lb bombs (im sure others remember that)..

but now just today in 2 different H2H rooms I saw 2 similar incidents.. 1 being a spitfire firing over 20 rockets in a salvo, and the other being an F4U dropping HUNDREDS of bombs..

got the f4 on film of anyone wants to see.

how long has this been going on? are the correct people aware of this?

but mainly.. is this sort of thing happening in the MA?

No, in H2H you can setup all sorts of wierd loadouts. you can have unlimited ammo.

The MA is totally different.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Snubby, HTC or Skuzzy will say something to you about this, but the best thing to do, is NOT to post it here on the boards. E-mail HTC with it, and send the film. They will take the action.

Just posting what you did, Can do a lot of damage to them. If paying subscribers' think that the game can be hacked, they'll drop subscriptions(nobody likes to pay for a cheater to just kill them whenever.) They have a good reputation for keeping the game clean, It's one of they're best selling points.

you can only edit ammo amounds for guns.. not bombs or rockets..  

this was not an arena setting, this was something else.

I forsee some banned domains/IP's in the near future..........



This is another reason why H2H should be permanently removed except for paying subscribers

I think i've seen that newU.  He was in one of my H2H rooms.

I saw that  newU### dropping like 1000s of bombs on a base, I was in disbelief.  I quickly ejected him after that incident:furious

I should've recorded that incidentm, but i forgot the command for recording (my bad)

I wouldn't think a hack coded for h2h would be all that different from one for the Main Arenas.  Difference is that the main arenas are policed much better.  Also perhaps HTC uses support programs on their boxes to help w/ said policing.


Disclaimer:  Also to any new subscribers I'd like to point out that this game seems to have the least amount of cheaters on it(so far none in my experience) of any game I've seen or heard of.  HTC does a wonderful job of keeping this place clean.

H2H is a good place with good pilots you just have to sort out all the bad apples first.
