Patch

It's more like right after a hack detection is released, a new one appears within hours. This is how it works: the people that work at Xtrap have to write detections not only for our game, but any others out there that they support. They are 9-5 workers and they do their job well. On the other hand you have the hack coders, who for the most part are kids with far too much time on their hands. They see the update and work on updating their hack.
Like I said this will be a neverending battle. Steps are definitely being taken to curb the number of hackers, but you would be hard pressed to find a free to play game that has hackers reduced as much as we have. For months there were absolutely no public hacks to speak of. Now they happen to have 5-6 different versions of the same hack! As soon as Xtrap finds a way to block the method they use there will be no more public hacks and sanity will return to Cross Fire even if only for a little while. -
Don't forget, as the patchers, you're always on the back foot. Hackers and coders get to update their hacks, whereas XTrap have to wait for those to become known before they can do anything about it.
XTrap do a pretty damn good job in comparison to alot of other similar software. -

^ this. I was with another game that used Punkbuster and eventually Hackshield Pro. Neither were up to the task, and both were easily bypassed. So far as I've seen there is no working Xtrap bypass. -

I might get banned or something like that but... When there is a new hack going out, why dont they patch it straight away? SURE you cant remove them all, but you CAN patch em when they get out and you DONT... i did a report not so long ago about a guy who made a score of 140-7 in a pistol FFA... did you take time to study his account when he is playing to see the flaw?... probly not. -
I know, I'm not bashing XTrap at all. The fact that CF is free is its biggest pro.
Besides, once a new hack comes out, they have to figure out how it works to stop it. It's problem solving. Too bad hackers have nothing else better to do. I can't believe some people get their kicks out of cheating.
