[QUOTE="elemental_drago"][QUOTE="Denji"] [QUOTE="elemental_drago"]AS others have said, there is little more recourse than to report them. Outside of that, just move to a different server and know, in your heart, if nothing else, you don't suck so bad at the game that you have to cheat to move up the boards:PDenji
About 78% of the time, you can't in COD4
Maybe, but I mean more in general. A lot of people take advantage of glitches or simply create their own. Personally, I bought the PC version and haven't really had any problems (a select few here and there, sure, but nothing catastrophic) From the picture this poster paints, this sounds like someone cheating. Missing one hit? Sure it was maybe it was lag, but how many can you "miss" before you gotta call out the wolf in sheeps clothing?
Also, again I meant in general. I've played a few games online, and come (edit: *to know*) cheating is a known issue (if it wasn't, we wouldn't have PunkBuster). All I was trying to say is that play enough and you'll encounter some. When you do, sometimes all you can do is move on to another server, and once again, rejoice in the fact that you don't have to cheat to succeed.
Well, I would imagine you choose your own servers on the PC version. But the PS3 got the butt end of the stick cause it's all random match making P2P. A lot of people aswell, try to leave those games to find another one and just plopped back into the same one. But yeah, what the TC is talking about is lag. I've checked out the whole cheating on PS3 thing and I don't recall a hack having infin life. The hacks were mostly name altering and knowing where everybody was and a bullet trail. I also think you could walk through walls aswell. It was posted on the net how to do it. So in the PS3 version, you don't really get much of a choice. Also, it isn't a program running here. It's just altering certain files. That's the problem. The files that are exposed to the end user, aren't all that secure. That's more IW's fault.
You make a fair point there (also you are correct that in the PC ver you get your choice of servers. Shame it isn't there on the PS3, if not for this reason) Still though, it sounds fishy, but that could be just me. It certainly sounds as though cheating is certainly harder in the scenario presented on the PS3, but I certainly wouldn't sell short the lengths some people are willing to go to (I used to be a tech at a high school and they never ceased to impress me in their methods to circumvent what we had in place.) I'll admit that this certainly could be attributed to cursed lag, but for so many people to experience it, it just sounds fishyt. I gues, in this case, I'd still recommend trying for another server (with your fingers crossed), b/c even at that point, it's not going to be fun, be it lag or cheating.
