XTrap's one of the best anti-cheats out there, for free to play games.

Unless you want ghosts with fully-automatic AWMs returning, yah, XTrap's the best we're gonna get.

True True...

Maybe people should just stop hacking....

1 cheater in ten i think your playing combat arms becuase i am lucky if there isnt atleast one in every game and now they dont even hid that they hack in gm

not going to happen untill crossfire is server bound to stop it
or crossfire will be data dumped and we will lose it cause of the
code fractures

If only $:\$

I've actually ran into blatants in pay to play games, such as Rainbow Six Vegas 2, but the main difference is, the community there kicks most any hacker practically instantly, whether their team's losing, or not.
People don't want to use hacks within communities like that, as they know there's no profit from it.

If our community was even half as mature, I guarantee we'd see a vast reduction in cheaters.
But therein lies the problem, our community, not to mention CF's ready availability for just about anyone to play it.

I don't think so. XTRAP is not perfect, like the rest of anti-cheats, so it would be useless "terminating" the contract.

MargauxJ · February 2011

Atleast xtrap is better than gameguard..

Yh Kids keep QQing ab the Same Topics agian and agian, if you wanna have fun in CF get a Clan play some Scrims, if you are a bit better than that get some Clanwar 5 on 5 going agianst others Clans which have about your skill and just play. In Uk Clan are less hackers most of the time Clans dont Allow them.

Play SnD there are ab 0 Hackers since they get kicked.
Maybe the People which you call hackers arent really Hacking? Stop QQ and face the Fact that some CF Players have a Headset or Luck

lul ^^ >.> didn't know that about the uk clan server but i get kicked cause of 140-170 ping .___.

anyhow back to topic. i think the game would be better if they updated it every week like how lots of games do ^^

That would mean endless work for the GM's, they also need to work for the community, having ideas and start looking for new content... Patching every week would be necessary alot of coding hours and getting new conent for the game would be probably 5 times a year [example].

We had GameGuard in the past, it turned out to be terrible.

SupBabe · February 2011

M4dM3dic · February 2011

you don't have a clue about game related security. you don't know the reason why z8 changed their anti cheat, maybe the contract ran out? maybe they had a better relationship with xtrap?

when comparing xtrap to gameguard etc... they both perform equally. one doesn't work better than the other, it is the game developers work ethic that determines whether or not a certain cheat get's patched the next day or the next month.

they dont perform equally, they have 2 totally different approaches, gameguard was supposed to block the hackers, xtrap lets hackers through, detects irregularities in coding, and bans the player accordingly

when xtrap is updated it is a beautiful system, they just got lazy recently and didnt make anything new

XTrap is NOTHING like GameGuard, who in turn, are nothing like PunkBuster.

aR_zona · February 2011

Xtrap does what they can to prevent hacks... They're not exactly fast workers, but at least they try. I guess it's probably the most affordable anti-hacking company for Z8 at the moment. I doubt they'll end their contract together.

ghost__boy · February 2011

what if they make one themselves. theyre gettin the hacks out themselves anyways

Sedate · February 2011

I didn't even bother reading the rest of the thread, besides the title, and I can only say one thing: Bad idea, what we have now can only get worse or better, and as a rule it is easier for things to get worse than better, hell look at the public school system!

NitroJam · February 2011

the last service was even worse

ap23miniman · February 2011

yea i think they should terminate the contract, xtrap has too many errors and doest keep the hackers out of cf

LawlessEx · February 2011

ya, i agree, they're not doin much, hac.ks are bak within like a day or a week, but sumtimes it's just like chams, not these big 1 shot hac.ks

flandy · February 2011

well there are alot of hackrs indeed so ..

iownturface · February 2011

There will always be hackers in a free FPS, and even in paid FPS games to certain extents. Some people just have nothing better to do than sit around and hack games which is sad IMO.
