I have a new fast comp, plenty of ram, and a 25" HP HD monitor. I feel like an absolute idiot at times, going 1-20 etc. Seems almost impossible, but maybe I'm wrong. Others with my same rank and weapons are cleaing up regularly. Gets a bit frustrating. I'm new to COD, and am wondering how many hack mods are out there being used. I've heard that punkbuster is a joke when it comes to stopping hackers. I mean really, when I'm hidden well, someone always pops me off at a distance without me ever seeing them. Seems like a few know where I am even when I'm behind walls, and come out blasting. My reaction time is just fine, never had this issue before playing COD. I am Not, repeat Not blaming the guys on the server, or the clan in Any Way. Want to make that very clear. Love it here really. So....am I just that inexperienced, or are the hackers running the show? Many thanks from a frustrated Har.

We have a great admin team that watch the servers and the players. I'm sure it's because of your inexperience . There are perks like deep impact, using that one and most of your bullets will go thru walls, there are scopes ppl use for their guns. Most maps I can see across the map and detect movement, sometimes I shoot where I see sparks from someone else shooting. The more you play the more you will learn. If you think you do have a problem with someone xfire a admin or get one on teamspeak. BigPapaDean, deerejon, ViPRZ and 9 others 12 Awards

Many of us HAVE played COD1, 2, 4 & 5 a long time. Many know the maps very well and know how to set up and how to use the correct custom classes in the maps. There are other tricks, like video settings and optimizing your system to perform well (like don't run a lot of softwares in the background when playing). Keep playing and you'll get there!

Many of these players are very good at their playing styles and thereby usually have a very good idea when you are in the neighborhood. I know you get frustrated with the likes of me too as I have cut you more than a few times. I love playing that way and it makes me and everyone else more aware as to who and what is going on around them. Just remember I have been at this for as long as Santa Claus has been fat! If you feel something is wrong let me tell you from experience the admins will spank the hackers and send them to dirty diaper-ville. It's been fun playing with you and hope to continue too!

We all are clean players and watch for them hackers like hawks. At times there are problems, But the members, regular guests, and the admins watch then perm remove these problems from there servers. Now XI has a lot of the top players around the world playing servers and yes it can get frustrating at times well a lot of times. Just take a breath and ask how they did it, most will tell you. Unless you do see someone glitching or hacking just keep XFIRE running and record them in spec or on your screen. The Admin team will investigate and take care of issues. They do accept information and feedback. Thanks The B3AN Kill ya later. deerejon, dadda2, Spirit and 2 others 5

They told me that a weird looking Canadian by the name of "Logan" bought everything, so I guess I will try Sears and JC Penney next time. Anyways, I have been playing for a long time and I am yet to learn the maps. Every time I get myself familiarized with a particular map, a dude called 2manybeers (arbitrarily) imposes "new rotations", so I have given up.

One can zero in on other players by hearing the direction of both their movement and gunfire. As has been said by others, it doesn't work with Dean who just seems to appear behind his opponents with that knife! Depending on where you are in the world, latency also affects ones ability to score. Face-to-face with those who live near the server in the USA, you are not going to win so one can adapt to cater for that by more use of explosives like satchels, nades and betties to keep the name off the bottom. Finally, there are bad days that everyone gets when one cannot hit a fish in a barrel for some reason. Get to know the maps and adjust the custom classes accordingly.

I hack. In particular, I use the cloak of invisibility hack which is why you suddenly have found your head blown off with no one nearby. And I particularly like the Mexican jumping bean hack which causes me to repeatedly bounce up and down so that you're unable to hit me unless you're right beside me. For a certain consideration, I'd be delighted to pass them along. They're absolutely undetectable, and the admin here who are usually drunk or stoned when they're on the servers are clueless about them. Paperman, BigPapaDean, Spirit and 2 others 5 Awards

First, players like me have played COD5 since it was born, even on the tons of maps on the custom servers I know pretty much where the "spots" are. A lot of times when passing by them I jump and shoot into them. Sometimes I get nothing, a lot of times there is a camper sitting there and that is hard to defend against. A hack? nope, just lots of gaming time. The other issue is ping. If you have marginal ISP like mine other players high ping makes things seem like a hack, but it in my case it is the huge lag I get. Sometimes do bad that when someone is shooting me I run around a corner and out of their sights and then I get hit with their bullet and die. Seems lie a hack, in reality just a verrryyyy slooowwwww response time. On top of that Cod5 is not really coded well when it was built. Oh and on the death match server punk buster is not enabled. So, if you suspect someone hacking or something let an admin know, we have the -adm on the end of our names DareDevil , BigPapaDean, Spirit and 1 other 4 Awards

Given the complexity of the COD maps, its not surprising that a newbie would wander into them, and not be able to use them. Time and experience will settle that issue. Ditto on the ping situation, I do know very well what the effects of low/high ping can produce. Guys, I really appreciate all the "inside" info, it really does enhance my experience level.
