I think there are a few people who tweaked/altered ingame console settings to get (in my opinion) unfair benefits towards others. Anyhow, these ARE ingame settings and possibilities so it is hard to proof, and often not a bannable offense. Immoral in my opionion, but not bannable. Also, the players who do this really suck in the game and have a small pp syndrom, so with these settings, all they get max are average scores 

I honostly believe there is one active, and in my eyes a blatant cheater. I reported/questioned him some times, but the admins are not sure about it, watched him multiple times but they cannot get 100% proof. I choose not to play when that guy is playing so it doesn't bother me too much. Also, its the only person of who I think is cheating in all those years ive been here (I can still be wrong though). Macro's, scrolling and such are way too EASY!© to detect, and I don't think those are an issue on the FT servers.

 

agreed, but a scroll wheel/ macros that changes a semi to an automatic is easy to detect.

I feel these things mentioned do happen, but to what extent I’ll never know. 
I just soldier on, not worth the aggravation thinking about more than a nanosecond from my point of view. 
I’m old and realized a long time ago there will always be someone YOUNGER FASTER AND BETTER at gaming than I’ll ever be. It’s just the facts. That’s why most of my points are from defrosting in freeze tag. 

My biggest disappointment in our servers is when peeps constantly go on about people supposedly HACKING. We all have heard it, we have admins doing the best they can. 
To be honest I really can’t tell if people are hacking unless it’s totally obvious I can count on 1 hand the times I’ve seen this in our servers. Always someone younger faster better! I just move on with this attitude and the game stays enjoyable for me. 
Oh I wish I was that good to be called a hacker!

You are hilarious Feed and always a pleasure to play with, not to mention you are excellent.   However, I am not the only player frustrated with these scroll wheelers and Macros players.  I have had chats with a few out of the clan but everyday players in server 1.  It wont stop me from playing but it makes the game less enjoyable and into an even playing field.

If you suspect someone is using scroll wheel, let an admin know.  That's frowned upon.

The graphics claim though....  *shrug*  I've seen and heard both sides of that in the game.  If you're laying prone in a bush and shoot some decent players, you should expect a landscaping crew to ruin your day.

 

Izumi.    I have mentioned the scroll wheel/macros issue to an admin or 2 and was told it is not against the rules. I complain about it all the time.  Perhaps they don't know it is actually not allowed.  As far as the graphics issue, it is harder to prove and I only think of very few that may be actually doing it

Scroll wheel and Mouse Macros are Not allowed and have not been allowed for many years.

 

Altering texture settings using Console commands or by using custom configs beyond the stock Low, Normal,High and Extra settings will get you banned.

Using Promod configs is Not Allowed and I know a few people that are using them. They are just as bad as running a fucking Wallhack. Alot of the Promod configs that are downloaded off of the internet, increase visibility to the point that certain textures do not load at all and other textures such as foliage, smoke and fog of war become translucent.   

 

If you have to Cheat or modify your configs to gain an unfair advantage? you need to fuck off and go play somewhere else.Peroid.  

Jester.  I didnt know scroll wheels, Macros, or adjusting settings do that a player can see easily through things you mentioned were already banned.  However they are being used by a few players, mainly on server 1 (as far as I can tell)

If this is the case then I would hope that the admins of server 1 were reminded of these rules and asked to enforce it.  I do know that some think that some certain players just have so called "quick fingers". I dont believe this is the case, there is an obvious difference between quick fingers and a macros or scroll wheel weapon fire.  I have very quick fingers and also tried a Macros years ago, there is a difference. 

Sharpe,  if they are banned it is still being used.  As I mentioned to Timmah, Server 1 and Server 2,  many weapons are quite different anyways, in regards to fire speed so using a macros or scroll wheel is more pointless.

Meh, a well-aimed shot usually negates any rapid-fire advantage.   They wouldn't be relying on increased fire rate if they could aim.

 

Timmah, I am mainly referring to server 1. Server 2 many of the weapons are already rapid fire. but thanks for pointing that out.  Server 1 is hardcore anywyas and so it does makes a huge difference !!!!!

Has there been any discussion in the past about banning the use of  game enhancements such as scroll wheels, or mouse hacks, or even changing the graphics in order to see easier through bushes ?

To me this makes for a unfair playing field for those who just wish to play normal, without having to change or enhance their mouse to create almost a fully automatic weapon to those that are not meant to be so.   Again I feel this is changing the playing style and creating a HACK to your weapon, (and if we truly don't allow hacks) I feel these types of enchantments  should be banned.  It makes the game much less joyful.  I know for myself a few players that absolutely hate such things and will leave the game when it gets out of hand (including myself).  

If a player wants to prove them self as being a great player then I say prove yourself and play normally with no such enhackments. Make it fun and more even for all. 

Please give your opinion and thanks for listening to my complaining !!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY !!!!   

Happy Birthday Dadda !!!!  

Watch out, Sweet Chicken--you might have a stalker on your hands!!!

 

Calculator--here's a hint:  Chicken Finger looks like a cross between Brad Pitt and George Clooney, with a touch of Benny Hill added to the mix.  Oh, and just a dash of RuPaul . . . "Work, work it girl, do your thing . . . "    Ayaq

Huskie lost a Best Friend today.  Our dog Shadow was hit by a car tonight.  As you may know,  Huskie is a huge animal lover.  So if and when she doesnt seem to be herself for the next few days,  you will know why.

Thanks all....

P.S   Hang in there Huskie

Hope you had a Fun Birthday Sharky. Hawaii is not a bad place to enjoy it.  I'm glad I got to spend it with you.  

I play as much as I am able.  I will be on to nade and claymore you on Monday Sally.   

Welcome and maybe I'll see you in COD4. 

Welcome and Congrats Scott.  It is such a pleasure playing in the COD4  server with you.  

Cant wait until my long run of work days is over so I can check them out.  

Thanks so much.

It is great to be a member of such a wonderful group of people.  I really enjoy playing and chatting with many of you in game and in team speak.

I mainly play COD4, although I used to prefer Blacks OP 1 and 2 when they came out, except those servers have dwindled quite a bit.

Favorite sport to watch and play is Soccer. (fav teams are Real Salt Lake and Manchester United)  I also like American football.

 I Love water sports and snow skiing (just cant afford to ski anymore)

I also enjoy the outdoors and camping.  Probably dont need to tell what my favorite movies are due to my name.

Those who dont know already, I am the Father to the famous Hacker Huskie.  I've serched her computer and still cant find the hack she uses.  

I'm just kidding,  she is just a great player, it must be those young eyes and reflexes.  

The Force is Strong with her. Not as strong as it is with me though.

She is a great girl.  I am blessed to be her Father. 

Thanks again for the welcome and its great to be an official Idiot.

Happy Birthday Andrew  

Happy Birthday 

Happy late Birthday !!

I think Luke was saying it to the girl in the trailer, and I'm supposing it is Han and Leia's daughter.    Just a guess though.

Congrats Stringer !!
