Having the ocular occlusion option in Nvidia graphics cards in the control panel turned on is a punishable offence because it is a cheat and its not something everyone can use either. 

It is common sense that anyone with that option should have it turned off or it's a cheat.

the people shooting through thick smoke needs to be spec'd to see if they are seeing through it to shoot and then warned and kicked

I never really knew much about it but it seems people say that in cod4 while it helps with smoke it is worse for shadows most everywhere else. Hide in the shadows and you are near invisible. So its a trade off. Is seeing through smoke worth having a hard time seeing people in dark areas? In darker maps without much ambient light it is probably near impossible to play.

 

I suppose in this server maybe have a better mix of normal and darker maps. Such people would likely leave.

In COD2 when you aim through smoke you still get the name of the other player if your crosshairs move over them. We also have an option to turn most of the smoke off in the game settings. Not sure how it works on COD4 but smoke doesn't offer a lot of protection on our server. It is a really good tool for blinding campers though, especially if they have an older graphic card and it slows their refresh rate down.   :whistle:

If I know you're in or around the smoke it's easy to either spray or estimate where you would be from your last known locations, I do it when I see people pass widows or their body was slightly sticking out, I would estimate where they are behind the wall judging from them running walking or trying to sit still

I don't think you will be able to see if someone is using occular occlusion by spectating them. The same way you can't see the screen cues of someone using a hack by spectating them.

 

But...Alot of people spam smoke looking for a lucky hit, after all if you see smoke you can almost guarantee someone is behind it or running through it. I hope this isn't going to be the next generation of accusational material lol.

 

"he shot me through smoke!" "he has occular occlusion on!"

 

lol :laughing:

most of the shot throught smoke are just luck, guess or spam

 

everyday i shot people through smoke or walls, its just guess and spam, nothing more

IF you can prove that someone has ocular occlusion turned on, then I will be more than happy to tell them to turn it off. Common sense would say that it should not be used, but we have no control over it, nor can we police it's use since it is a graphic setting on your PC.  

 

The more that it is advertised and discussed, such as in this post, the more likely people are to attempt to use it.

Makes one wonder why nvidia even included it as an option. Unless I suppose modern games account for this so people cant cheat.

It offsets and darkens the Shadow around everything making it stick out like a Sore Thumb through the smoke.I consider it a cheat ONLY because it is not available for All Video Cards.

 

On another note Alot of people have they're graphics cranked Down the whole way and Several dozen Console commands set to get every advantage that they can possibly get.Which isn't really fair either.Those said Console commands can be locked Server side just like the Max FPS.

 

There are 1,336 COD4 Console Commands.Alot of ways to Cheat just by setting up your Config.Several of them can remove objects or thin them out such as lodscalerigid.

its not a cheat its meant for extremely hi graphics detail and yes you can see an outline sometimes in smoke but u take a majorly huge hit in frames which frankly  is not worth  the two times u can see someones outline for an extra kill-

lodscalerigid

 

That one, and the skinned one, are set based on what level of model detail you set in the menu options. Normal or low.

all i know is alot of folks complain when they are in a THICK cloud of smoke or are on an opposite side and get shot with one or 2 shots...this is no spray and pray type thing or a well placed random nade...it always feel like you cant see shit but they got their eye on you VERY WELL. As far as hiding in shadows most folks is run and gun and anyone who is good enough always checks familiar and good hiding spots...so thats never an issue. im not one to accuse folks...im a bit of a complainer......but im not alone in this....something is definitely going on with the smoke thing...alot of us suffer for it in game and it sure dont feel quite right. Most folks usually can tell whats up after their initial whining...we've all played long enough to know the difference.

 

i would video someone but my time is always limited and i hate spending anytime whatsoever not playing as opposed to speccing

 

I AM DA GAMECHANGER AND I LOVE WHINING IN THE FORUM INSTEAD OF SPECCING!!!!!!!!!!!!

its an unfair advantage not shared by all people playing at any given moment.........what would that be? if anyone is able to run a card like this then im more than sure they have a good enough rig to get around the FPS issue well enough

It's no different to people turning their graphic settings low so they remove trees and grass and stuff, if there is smoke there i always shoot into it, most times someone is coming through that smoke lol, you can't penalize people because they have a better graphic cards than others.

It is the inverse of this...:)  They will likely tell you that they turn it off because they get much higher FPS, which is true.  Still, it doesn't change the fact that some folks abuse it.  This is much different than the first few seconds or last seconds of smoke being thrown....lots of times I'll shoot someone that is running through the tail end of smoke or right after smoke has been thrown.  They are still visible and don't' realize it.  Key to smoke, wait a few seconds before you go through it....but don't wait too long...haha

I wasnt meant to imply any cheats or anything in XI server, or pointing any fingers. Just thought you guys wanted to know that this was out there.. And wanted to read your opinions about it.

 

In EU Leagues it has been marked as a cheat, but still, there's no way anyone can tell if it is on or off... Unless someone keeps having headshots without spraying through smoke or something..

 

anyway- Happy Days!
