<div class="IPBDescription">Bring on VAC</div> Just wondering whether anyone else out there has given up with playing at weekends due to the huge amounts of aimbotters/cheaters?
Seems like every server has at least one aimbotter these days and this results in a really frustrating experience when playing aliens. Its bad enough that on public servers, half the alien team are total noobs, but the cheating just makes it intolerable.
Additionally, it doesnt help that CD is constantly out of date (and therefore there are virtually no public servers where it is obligatory) and it will be months before the whole VAC thingy is supported.
I gave up with counterstrike because it felt like I was the only one not cheating and I feel NS is now going the same way. Dunno what can be done, but if any developers are reading - please sort out VAC asap.
Anyhow, I guess I'll just have to play during weekdays and leave weekends to doom3/farcry/ut2k4

So just accept what happens as you making mistakes, or go competitive where CD is required for matches (and usually in scrims).
Actually ther eis no real anti cheat for NS yet, but CD will support NS verry soon since there was a vote on the CD homepage and NS won it.
It really takes me back to the counterstrike days when this happens. I hope some type of automated system gets in place soon (like VAC maybe), so we dont have to waste our time bringing every single lamer to trial with demos, etc.
You don't even have to be all that great to be labeled an "aimbotter."
Thanks for pointing this out, I don't know what we would do if it weren't for your helpful identifications.
it just goes to show how much people know about cheats
the thread poster is right though, i've been seeing an increasing number of cheaters in NS lately as well, mainly in the form of little kids using aimbots extremely blatantly as they snap to targets and track flawlessly

you'd probably still be on the toliet
The do f*** all to stop them. Just a day ban sometimes.
A DAY IS NOT ENOUGH. They should be banned from all HL games including HL2 for even thinking about cheating on Valves games. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Reading the first post: Yes i did quit playing beta because of the amount of cheaters. And no one post saying its that i suck, when someone hacks, either A: its plain obviouis or B: You spec them and see it urself.
ERRRRRRRRREEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!11111

That's who you guys remind me of
On the server in my signature, we run CD REQ, for several reasons:
<ul><li>When we run CD REQ, we don't experience frustration from cheaters. EVER. Draw your own conclusions as to why we don't, but we don't. <b>This is valuable to the average player.</b></li><li>When we run CD REQ, we find that players joining the server are, on average, more prepared to work as a team and embrace the principles that makes NS such a great mod. Yes, morons still exist, but they are fewer per capita. This factor is HUGE, and it's typically understood by our regulars that CDREQ is more a strategy toward player quality than player honesty.</li><li>When we run CD REQ, no player is permitted to publicly accuse (or even suspect) someone else of cheating, period. <b>This is valuable to the above-average player</b>, as they grow tired of pubbers constantly, ignorantly, and baselessly accusing them of cheating, and an environment where their skill is respected and their teamwork is appreciated typically sits well with them.</li></ul>Running CD REQ dramatically limits the players from which you can create a regular player base, but our experience shows that it significantly raises the quality of the average player on the server, when measured not least by skill, teamwork, and general niceness. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The players attracted by this approach, combined with an almost constant admin presense when the server is active (which tends to be moreso in the afternoons/evenings than during the day), makes for what our regulars feel is a generally enjoyable, cheat-free experience when playing on our server.
CD's not perfect, but we prefer it. And while there are other public servers which share our approach with regard to the tool, we understand that we are in the minority by running CD REQ.
Good luck in your efforts to find more enjoyable public experiences. There are plenty to find, you just have to be patient in your search.
Oh I surely never trust admins, more than half ppl I suspected of hacking where admin.
At least in ns, you can't shoot trough wall!
so my bet is that you totally suck
