<div class="IPBDescription">He wasn't very subtle about it.</div> Hmmm, so I was playing in this server named 'STARNOVA TROOPERS,' as your standard marine grunt. Everything went well for about 20 minutes or so, when this griefer named korvin joined the server.
I got a little suspicious when I saw him, on the alien team, in a marine model. So, I thought, he's using the model cheat.
Then he started using guns - against the marines. We started getting hit by LMG and pistol fire from the alien team. However, since we had heavy armor, we were able to take quite a bit from him and dish out enough in return to send him to the respawn line (thank god he hadn't found an invincibility cheat yet).
Then he started using some sort of speed hack...he would glide and slide all over the room before you could blink, and he became much harder to kill. Still, he wasn't invincible, and we managed to kill him when he got into narrow rooms and hallways.
Finally, when he realized he couldn't do much, he spammed. Over, and over, and over again. The message was something like "SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM". Over and over; kinda non-stop, understand? That little twelve-year-old must have really been mashing that binded button. When the round finally ended and the next one began, korvin once again joined the aliens and this time used his cheats to kill our still-too-weak-beginning-force. It was very, very uncool.
So, in review:
1) Model hack.
2) Speed hack.
3) Weapon hack.
4) Spam.
I have no idea how to fix 1-3, VAC support would probably help. The spam, on the other hand, should really be fixed. Just integrate a feature into the game that "mutes" a player who spams a single message too many times, maybe keeping him from typing for another few seconds (which multiplies depending how much he tries to spam).

As far as complaint 4 goes though, there's really not much of a solution to it that doesn't involve sharp instruments or napalm. Sorry. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
But spoons aren't sharp. They're dull. That's why they hurt more.

No its juz a bug.
AS a skulk it gives u a marine model and weapons. So u can retain skulk speed, but you still haf skulk HP/Armour, so u die easily. You should see what happens when a Onos uses the bug. LOL
I've seen something like this before, playing CS though. After I got bored and started to spam for no reason at all anytime, I would talk for X times in 5 seconds it would add 15 seconds of mute time. I got to over 3k seconds before I got bored and stopped.
