Unfair advantage in MP by changing config file

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:47 pm

By changing some of the config files, you are able to gain a pretty unfair advantage in multiplayer.

What boggles me is the lack of validation, especially on the config file which can be screwed around with by anyone.

Please fix this.

That's just some dude with hax, changing the config files wouldn't net this result.

Dude we cannot use our graphics configs in multiplayer. The only thing we can do is change fov and toggle ads that's all. It's not even unfair. We still got bloom and hdr lighting. It's NOT cheating. It's just performance and comfort zone of playing. It's ok. Nobody is cheating dude jeez.

And i don't have flash player installed but if he says it's just a player with a hax then it's just a stupid cheater with a paid hack. What a waste. I hope the cheaters get a lesson taught soon.

I was kind of hoping that was the case I guess. It was posted on a website with a guy explaining that it was changed through the config files. Maybe I just jumped the gun too early and started freaking out.

Visually enhancing your game to remove motion blur/bloom/flares/glow effects from a config isn't unfair as long as everyone else can do it.

Well watching this sheds tons of light on some of "Huh,,, that was weird...Why cant I do that?" thoughts that I have been having after this weekend playing MP.

The one thing that stuck in my mind about this video is that, When Buddy slides, I had someone do that to me over and over on the Tran station map, but he was standing still sliding Side to Side on me. I thought that was awesome, I then spent the next 2 map cycles to try to build some sort of strat for that. But you cant slide side to side. I then looked for sometype "AA" software that enables you to do this. Like any software, they have their glitches and bugs and can be exploited. I found nothing. I left it at that until I watched this video.

Either they make it available to all people (Because its a game changer when going against an Assult Rifle when you are trying to level up your 10m range Shotgun. And think of the cool new strats.... Slide from one side of a door way to the other and Noob Rocket in the room and carry on! LOL.) Or make it unavailale to all, Like you will do with the people whom are hacking/playing online with Pirate copy.

Hackers are everywhere. You will never get rid of them, just be the bigger man, and ask him to leave nicely (Some do), or Leave and join another server.

But back to topic, If they made that run speed the "Maximum Speed" Nano ablity, and the one we currently have as the Regular "Shift" Run key, the regular "Shift" run key. That would Rock. And the sliding from standing or running to a side, stand up, and then slide again, of course using energy while your doing it. Im down for it.
