An aimbot and a wallhack.

Ah. Jesus, those are 2 very hard to prove ones (since surround sound headphones and keenly honed reflexes can have the same affect). He must have been really showing it.

Re: VAC2 hits NS
Wyz, is there any chance those demos can be used to teach other players who arent keen on catching these cheats?

Re: VAC2 hits NS
No, there's not.
There are ample CS resources for learning such skills.Steam Community? Add me. | Join #tacticalgamer | Search Results Legend | New Posts Forum Filter | Postbox Toggle | Live Thread Review | One Line Results | Free Remote, Encrypted Backup

Re: VAC2 hits NS
Yeah, he did. About to run around a corner with level 3 silence, marines have no MT, he starts shooting before I even get into the room

Re: VAC2 hits NS
There's nothing (read: very little) unique about cheats when comparing between CS and NS.
Wallhacks are wallhacks.
Aimbots are aimbots.
Speedhacks are speedhacks.
I once read a statement in a Java board in which I was participating. It said "Don't learn Java. Learn logic." The author's point was that Java is just one implementation (one language) of logic, and that anyone can apply to any new language the logic they learn before.
The same applies here. I would recommend to someone that he not be concerned with NS (Half-Life maybe, yes...) when learning to detect who's cheating and who's not. The details of the implementation of cheating will change from game to game, but the details of what motivates one to cheat, and what characteristics one can observe in his behavior will stay pretty much the same as long as the game genre doesn't change too much.
Yes, it would be nice if someone created a site dedicated to NS cheats and the behavior patterns that follow them, but the presence of ample CS cheat detection resources serves the need sufficiently.Steam Community?

Re: VAC2 hits NS
I think this is the biggest obstacle ATM. NS gameplay is so different the CS that regardless of knowing the logic behind how a cheat works, its pretty damn difficult to spot in NS.NS cheats and the behavior patterns that follow them

Re: VAC2 hits NS
It is difficult on principle, yes, but not that much harder in NS than it is in CS.
Yes, there's MT and hivemind to consider. Yes, scripts seem more relevant in NS than in CS (in attention given if not attention deserved). Yes, your pub NS player might be fed more SA information from his teammates than will a pub CS player.
But, despite all that (and more), the discrepencies among ONE player's behaviors (as opposed to those among the behaviors of many players) are pretty consistent when comparing CS cheaters to NS cheaters.
If a guy makes lots of gameplay mistakes... lots of amateur field assumptions... and yet has impeccable SA and aim, your alarms should go off. At that point, you begin the investment of time trying to DISPROVE your suspicions. You review the demos.. looking... SEARCHING.... TRYING to find something YOU missed in your original observation... something that can EXPLAIN his performance despite the odds as you first perceived them.
Efforts like that -- once you tackle the considerations of hivemind, MT, etc -- aren't too differnt than those spent by a seasoned CS admin.Steam Community?

Re: VAC2 hits NS
Yeah, his aim was always dead on like he had been playing NS forever, but he moved very slow, like he downloaded the game a few days ago (which he did).

Re: VAC2 hits NS
....I like VAC2. It is a good thing. VAC2 will help HL mods like Natural Selection or The Specialists with hackers but inadequate cheating-detecting programs. Though cheating-death recently did focus more on third party mods and not just CS, VAC2 will provide an immanent base for cheating detection without any additional clientside plugins.

Re: VAC2 hits NS
Having so many different legitimate wall-hack like abilities in the game (motion, scent of fear, parasite, scanner sweep, enemies showing up on marine minimap, high dependence on sound cues, commander assistance, etc) makes establishing wall-hack like cheats a lot more difficult in NS. Aimbots and Speedhacks still show up fairly easily though--I don't honestly know how anyone can run a speedhack and not think they'll be noticed.
