So don't waste your time filming cheats and complaining to Hitech about it. They know already. Nobody is going to be banned from play. About all you can do is refuse to play with cheats. If you see it happen, leave the arena and move to another one.
Whatever you do, stick to your principles. Don't go download these cheat codes and use them to get even.
I'd beg to differ on this one. Strongly, in no uncertain terms.
I'm personally aware of 2 players who were permabanned from the game for hacks. In one instance I know for a fact that the problem was directly investigated by HT, to the point of calling the player in question at home and trying to sort out what might be going on. Once the film in question was submitted, the player disappeared...and his particular hack has not been seen again.
Lately we've occasionally seen infinite ammo, or mile long strings of bombs. The players doing this unceremoniously disappear, and it wouldn't surprise me to find out that HTC has left the hole open because he's got alarm software in place...and plugging the hole might just lead to a progressive arms race from those who get jollies from breaking code.
What DOESN'T get attention is the endless string of "che@#$" complaints from people who have no idea at all about the relationship between the software, the game server, the internet, and the speed of light. When those complaints come in, I can guarantee they will be ignored for the worthless drivel they are. The issues have been addressed innumerable times on these boards.
But do not make the mistake of thinking HT and Co. are blind to code breakers. They have zero tolerance for the simple reason that
this game is their livelihood, and they know it. HTC is not a monolithic bureacracy run by suits, its a single product botique programming company with all their eggs in one basket. If you think they will take any of this stuff lightly, well -- frankly, you are cerebrally challenged.
