NO! God, no.

Well, just say a news update on Totalbf2.com. There is a cheat out for BF2 and it is punkbuster proof. So we need to keep an eye out for suspected cheaters. I really hope this game doesn't got the way of Counter-strike (practically unplayable because of rampant cheatin). The good news is that EA has them under investigation (whatever that means), so hopefully they'll be able to put an end to it. I was going to post a link, but i've thought better of it. If you really care to see some pics of it and get some info, go to totalbf2.com and you can find it from there.

Some other good news, at least this guy makes you pay money for a VIP account in order to download. This will help deter a fair amount of people I think.

I really hate cheaters though. Well, cheaters in online games. Singleplayer games are a different story because you are only affecting yourself. However, in multiplayer you are affecting and potentially ruining the game for several other people. That is just not right. I really hope EA steps in on this, finds a way to scan for this cheat, and without warning ban and delete the accounts of the users for good. Then if they really want to play again they'll have to buy the game again, or probably more likely, steal a new cd key.

Grrrrrr, i'm so mad right now.

Oh boy that's just great... Yeah, found the site. Let's see what EA does (nothing I bet).

[[LZ]69er™]

Sigh...I guess its just human nature to try and find ways to cheat on things.

Well, if EA sticks to their current trend, I expect the sheit should be hittiing the fan sometime soon.

I was wondering why this one guy "luke the gook" was soo good all of a sudden... hacks possibly?, because, before he would just get killed like nothing, but now he owns all of us.

On the positive side, we're getting practice at fighting against pseudo-gods, while their skills only deteriorate the longer they hold this fascade.

Still, it's rotten to use that crap. Everyone be on "suspicious character watch". Profile everyone! If they throw themselves at you in C4 cars and still manage to get great scores, they are able to defeat multiple armored vehicles and helicopters on foot without a rocket launcher, their chief weapon is a little green box with a red button, their name has something to do with "hax" or "che4tar" or "Pirate", etc... take *many* screenshots for evidence.

Be sure to get my good side.

Likewise, is it *really* possible to take out an armored vehicle (full health) with one rocket from Anti-tank personnel? Just *one*? Whenever I try, it seems to take at the very very minimum, two. Maybe they just know something I don't know. Like the third wheel on the right side is the secret auto-destruct button or something.

Next thing you'll be telling me there are secret little crates with pink teddy bears.

Luke the Gook!! Tell you what, he'll get the kick just for having that name. I mean, does he have a buddy named Frink the Ch1nk, or Rick the Sp1ck?

could be so...

Ryland, I've had the rocket problem myself.......Problem is, when i'm playing around on the server alone I've tried to hit tanks from every angle to see where the weak spots are. I've never blew one with one rocket............seems strange doesn't it?

Im convinced theres a weak spot. Like the exaust port on the death star. Lets keep at it guys.

From what Ive read, at least for the tanks, its supposed to be the back. But I havent killed one with only one rocket yet.

[[SHEEP]69er™]

I think the weak spot is that little gap between the turret and the main body of the tank. Tonight I had a full health tank and VR hit me at my front and brought me down to 3 bars. I think he was probably cheating, but just in case he wasn't, I think he hit the aforementioned sweet spot. I've actually aimed for that spot and taken tanks out in 2 hits. Furthermore, if you watch the little movie when the game initiates a tank is blown up in one shot...and guess where the rocket hit?

Some one-shot-kill tips. Anyone want to practice? I'll bring the AT, you just tell me where your tank is!

[[Elmo]69er]

XL, i'll be sure to give away my location at all times for you buddy!

[[LZ]69er™]

Yeah, Sheep, bring your tank, lets practice. 3 AT to 1 tank. Of course the tank cant shoot.

If the "physics" are as accurate as I think they are, the engine shot makes sense. I know Ive hit a tank with 1 shot (but I have no idea what the health bar was at) and had it explode shortly after (with the guy still in it of course).

If the thread shot is valid, then I think I can live with that one. The main thing is to do enough dmg so that he doesnt pose as much of a threat.

The "neck" shot sounds near impossible to me. But if it works, then WOOT.

I guess well need to do some testing and reporting.
