A solution to hacks, hacker accusations, friendlier community and better gamplay!

  • It has merit. Most players will shoot the idea down because nobody looks forward to change - especially when they didn't come up with it, makes it too radical to accept.

    I can see a need for 2 open servers, as the first will definately fill. A lot of people in clans range widely in KDRs and will still want to play together. Overall, I see the clan structure of playing together being the biggest reason this wouldn't be implimented.

    It's a good idea otherwise.

    You can start by changing yourself.

    Two free servers could be provided but no more. If two free servers were to be created then one would have to be a west coast server, to accomidate current users in surrounding areas.

    Server 1: Free
    Server 2: Free - west coast
    Server 3: <Sergeant
    Server 4: Sergeant-MasterSergeant
    Server 5: >2ndLieutenant
    Server 6: Clan Server

    Sounds better?
  • Good idea.
    Good for farmers, too. They will be playing out of their league.

    One thing.
    West coast server players? :)
  • Thanks for your support :)

    If you view some of the previous posts, I've decided in the idea that there would be two free servers.

    Server 1: Free Server - East Coast
    Server 2: Free Server - West Coast
  • So only two servers?
    or inside those theres each, bravo, alpha, ect.

    I assume by east coast you mean the canadian ones we have atm.
  • I think your idea is constructive and actually quite well thought out. My only issue is the servers will be too small for the variety of matches needed for some players. You do have it set up for multiple servers that could fix it, but some servers are still pretty glitchy. It also blocks the capability of just playing with your clan. If your k\d is different then you cannot play with your clan....
    Great thought but it still has many bugs to be worked out.
  • hey, I read a couple more comments and I someone who claimed this will not stop hackers. Great point....
    I have an idea that might help out but, it's pretty undercomplicated.

    In WoW there is a feature that scans your computer for systems trying to inject into the game,,, or some such bullsh!t. If we could incorporate it into crossfire I beleive the hack problem would be solved.

    Thanks for your support. If you have a glance at previous posts, you'll find my resolution. Though, for sticking up for me here it is :p :

    Serv 1: Free serv - anyone can play on free servers, ESPECIALLY clans
    Serv 2: Free serv - west coast
    Serv 3: <Serg
    Serv 4: Staff Serg - Master Serg
    Serv 5: >2nd Lieu
    Serv 6: Clan Server

    As you can see here, there would be no need for anymore servers. There's adequate amounts of 'em to suit everyones needs.

    Yes. Cross Fire already has that feature. New Anti-Hackware FTW! Though, it doesn't stop the VIP hack unfortunetly.
  • Your system seems well thought out, but way to complicated with a huge chance of failure. Why change a system people are obviously happy with? On any given day I will play a certain people for practice. I shouldn't be limited to who I can play with when I can. Having the free server is great. But it is an open playground for hackers so playing there to play with a friend will be pointless and tick them off in the end.

    The system is fine now. There was a significant decrease in the amount of hackers. I see no reason to question z8 as far as control in the game. It's a free FPS there will always be a no life who has nothing better to do then develop a hack around the anti-hack.

    Your plan seems well thought out, but that would be re-creating crossfire as we know it. And right now I love it, and the population has been growing from the beginning.
  • I'm not taking anything away. Read the previous posts and you'll find that I've revamped the idea.

    There would be two free servers; one east coast and one west coast server. Those servers are available to anyone who wishes to join it.

    This plan is moreso about changing the server names and requirements to join them around. It really isn't that complicated in practice (yes, my theoretical persuation isn't all that fascinating :p).

    Nothing will be taken away from you, I could assure you on that.

    Lastly, about your issue with on selected days finding noob fights. Take Counter-Strike for example. I promise you half of really pro players on CF could walk into Counter-Strike and feel pretty ****y - only to face reality and become obliterated. All I'm saying is there's always going to be someone better then you and you have to realise that.
  • This suggestion fails and will never be applied so keep increasing your post count and e-pen1s.
    This game will be the same if the community stays the same,whatever guns they will add whatever maps they will make.

    two words for you:
    1-Rootkit-like hacks
    2-stfu pimpface

    It's rude and arrogant players like you that ruin the atmosphere and the community for everyone. Look at your name, iDontGiveADamn, what does that tell of you as a person? And what's with your signature. That explains it all. You're not cool, you're not gangster, you're not emo. What could they possibly done to you as a baby to produce something so vulgar as you - dropped you on your head?
  • look at my first post here and your reply to it ;]

    and how old are you strexy

    This is your first post. You go onto say that I should change myself. In this post you have given no signs to tell me what's wrong with me and what needs to be changed. So I really don't know what your getting at asking me about your first post. Care to explain? :)

    Age?

    I gave no signs to tell you what's wrong cuz i don't know you enough.
    You know what's wrong with you, i know what's wrong with me, and the other guy watching this also knows what's wrong with him.
    This have been said alot, the problem with crossfire is not the ping/bunnyhop/guns/map/votekick/hacks/bsod/crash/dmg-registery, the main problem is the players, if everyone worked on himself became more healthy physically and mentally and worked on his behaviour the game experience would change.
    Did you ever play CS:S vs pros or good players? if you did then you know what's wrong with cf it's not the game itself.

    I don't really see what childlish about that post but meh.
    And i didn't mean you with it i was talking in general.

    I don't see how's that relative to anything but i will give it to you
    I will be 22 in few days.
    Read my last post+topic i will finish in a minute and forgive me plz.
  • I understand where you're coming from. Forgiveness granted. Sometimes players, not just you but everyone, feel it's necessary to rant about rubbish on forums. Just remember next time that others arn't here to troll :) Have good day. Though, you haven't actually given me any constructive critism or support for my idea :) Care to? :o
  • Yeah sure in a min still writing -.-'
    Imma go get something from the market and coming back.

    Sincerely i won't re-read it but name the best fps (lets call it pewpeww00t)
    If CF was the same copy of pewpeww00t and pewpeww00t never existed CF will still have alot of problems (it looks like problems but they're not really ones).

    What needs to change is the players in-game behaviour overall.
  • Of course the in-game behaviour needs to be improved but to do that we need to resolve the issues that create these clashes. Take farming for example. It's not against the rules, yet most players don't like it. So of course there is going to be conflict. You need to target the heart of these arguments or issues. Eg. Farming and hacking.

    You will need a hundred server/channel then.
    Noobs won't run out of ideas to argue about, i guess when they die they have nothing to do but typing cr@p.


    Anyway it's not a terrible idea to try it might help tho i doubt it, why can't we just all play in peace and have some fun and win ;]
  • A hundred servers? What will that achieve. It will simply attract more farmers with all those empty channels. Check out my thread on another hacking solution. You'll find it on the first page of this suggestion forum. This time its not complicated, yet it'll work really well.
  • This idea is a really well fought one. A GM shud check it. But hacks will just go to free servers. Thats the only prob./
