So today ive ran into 2 different forms of hacking...

First was a douche named Rudicusprime or something insanely wack like that... his hacks only worked when he was hosting cuzz after leaving his game 5 or 6 times i finally got into one of the other hosts games... He lags up the server and goes god mode... only hits that he lands while not being shot register... its like ultimate choke. He came into each map w/ overshield as a leader and then would go 39-1... at one pt i literally went Soldier stood behind a wall and w/ the x12 scrapmaker emptied all 5 clips of ammo into him while he stood still and shot other ppl... (he wasn't even pretending to dodge)

Next up was (forgot his name already) with some insanely OP Speed shooting hacks... He was a leader and would fire all 5 cannon blasts at once without needing to reload. Or he would shoot the ION cannon. OK... first 2 maps i thought maybe i was just losing my mind... i was hosting after all... then i realized at the end of each map he would be well into the 10:1 kdr and would 1 shot me from overshields w/ the ion cannon... ANYONE who plays a leader class knows that is not going to happen... and even worse, after each death my screen would be covered in smoke trails.

I don't know anything about hacking, but I have met players that seemed to be absolutely god like. I rarely have any noticable lag when I play so I don't think that's the problem. But it's like you said, you unload every round you have, even throw in a melee or two and they still one shot you with an overshield on

I know some people are really good, but sometimes it just defies all laws of the game. I've read other game forums and some people report the same thing. Frustrating stuff like this made me migrate to ESC. I don't mind losing to someone, but the way these guys absolutely pwn me just got ridiculous. I mean, I can't be that bad at playing

i assure u it has nothing to do w/ my skill lvl. Im not one to start pointing fingers and mr flaming hacks paranoid... but these 2 dudes were DEF hacking... Rudicus took 3 clips from my x12, a grenade, and 12 melee hits... (yes he was that slow)

What are you playing on? If it's PC, you might want to use Fraps to record all your matches. I'm sure there's something on Activision Support that would deal with this. If you're not on PC, just send them this info and I'm sure they'll look into it.

ok this is just nuts if 3 people on the same thread played the same guy and had the same problems...ive hit in dead on with a disrupter he didn't transform i was oversheilded had a war cry WITH rage going and i was unloading with melee and ion blaster and he still somehow killed me...i mean im ranked 167 in team deathmatch so i know it's not cuz i suck this dude was hacking....same thing with the lag too...
i dunno why people can't just play the game as it was intended

His name is Thokas. We were playing TeamDM and he was the bumblebee scout and was on Decepticon side, with his team color lights flickering from Purple to Red.

Just saw a guy named KILLERDEADMAN he was on the decepticon team but had the colors and chassis of optimus prime it seemed he had like double health my mark target wasnt working on him it would show up then just go away instntly

EDT: I found out the reason this happened is because if you join a party then join a game 1/2 way thru then you dont get put on a real team even though you seem to have been picked decepticons or autobots, but in truth your on your own team its you against everyone else, i know this becus its happened 2ice to me in the last few days, exact senario... so these arent hacks just glitchs

Yikes! That sucks! People just need to play with integrity!

Or the developers need to add a patch that boots them...

The patch that kicks or even bans people who hack games is the ideal goal, the problem is that games will always end up hacked by people who aren't good enough to actually learn to play.
