Aimbot in QWET

I have a question for all to ponder how the hell are players able to use aimbot in QWET when we have punkbuster overseeing the game? I am sick of these hackers screwing up the game for the players who like to play the game fairly.

It isn’t fair and we all hate on it but as far as Punkbuster and VAC go
they are both fairly proactive and have never been able to stay ahead
of the hooks. I have two vids here under “Cheats in QW?”
You may find interesting if you haven’t seen them already.

Hacks for Quake Wars were bound to come out in QW because its on the same engine as ET. The reason that they can avoid punkbuster and by undetected is that they use the OS linux and use linux QW hacks. Now because they are using linux punkbuster does not support it. And therefore cannot scan for change/corrupt files in their file system. This also applies for ET.

It was funny in Counter

It was funny in Counter Strike: Source in the last couple of months of playing it since I joined Quake Wars permanento, even with VAC ( Valve Anti Cheat, yeah right..) there was a nice aimbot and speed hack AND wall hack running about the servers.. VAC wouldnt pick it up, so offenders had to be manually tracked down and banned, even then it took what, days ATLEAST, so we would have to put up with one person doing it while they took their sweet arse time, and by the time they were banned, someone else was doing it haha..

I hate punkbuster, it is pathetic, it is crap, don’t fucking use it please! It messed up more times then it does any good, everybody gets kicked by it on accident from time to time, it adds up, its shit, its a waste of my time, whoever made punk buster is a knobhead and whoever at Splash Damage/ID who decided to use punk buster is just jerking off that knobhead.

blah blah blah…

Some corrections

I’m going to have to point out some errors in the previous statement. Firstly, ETQW uses id Tech 4 i.e. Doom 3 engine. RTCW:ET uses id Tech 3 i.e. Quake 3 engine. While they used Tech 3 as a basis to built Tech 4 upon, most of the engine was eventually rewritten.

PunkBuster runs on Linux. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play either game (and indeed have experienced the same PB errors that Windows users have encountered). Crackers will write in whatever platform they’ve got access to. It has nothing to do with PB not running, indeed they probably keep PB running so they can test whether their hack is being detected.
