Getting the anti-hack that them china guys are using.
Mac address ban.
And: If running faster than normal speed (excluding HM/MM) you get autokicked, if you shoot faster than normal you get auto kicked, if you jump higher than usual (excluding double/triple jump) you get auto kicked and if you shoot a sniper fast you get auto kicked.
Btw, tl;dr
This autokick of speeders is so easily implemented, im rly wondering why its no there,. -
it's their business, attracting people to play the game will make'em more money, doesnt matters from where .-.
so i wouldn't be impressed if z8games advertises crossfire over egypt germany and such...
Yes it does.
Like I said before, the biggest factor in hacking IS HIGH PING.
Z8 is encouraging players that will have HIGH PING to play the game.
Most Hack accusing in this game can be explained by the ping difference or lack of knowledge about the game.
The only reasons I can think of for Z8 to advertise there is to either convince G4BOX to give them a license to host a server in Brazil or they only care about the money and put no thought into the side effects it will cause. -
hardwear is not too hard to fake.
I have had an idea that i think would be pretty sweet.
the main problem with ALL the current anti hack clients, is that they are all client side, meaning they run on the users computer, and are thus vulnerable to injection as well as alteration or bypassing. no-matter what we do, IP banns, performance measures, EVERYTHING, has one weakness, its all client-side.
my suggestion, would be to get another server, or maybe convert one of the existing servers, (nobody goes on foxtrot right?) to randomly check players for hacks. this wouldn't be like the start-up scan Xtrap does or anything, this would be more along the lines of the in game banning, and other anti hack devices that look at how fast a player is moving, both in terms of their speed, and the speed of their mouse. if you look at a game i used to play called Star-port GE, all of their game is server side processing, and they have 0 hackers.
if the server takes 30 seconds to scan 1 player (really really slow btw) and lets say 1/20 players hack, then every 5 min another player is banned, if the server can scan 1 player every second, then 3 bans a minute will be issued.
I like this idea. Computer servers & the information it secures should be protected around the clock. Take government, banking or shopping sites. Those kinds of sites have the best protection & are updated around the clock. The thing with Crossfire is that it doesn't patch or update often. When they do, it's easily broken.
It's simple: update your security -
Limited ping servers ? you mean that only br's with 150+ ping does use cheats ?
so, cheaters with 20-80 ping can still doing their ownage.
Well thinked.
the majority of hackers have 200+ ping, I very rarely see people with less than 100 ping hacking. -

Low ping cheaters are far more rare then high ping cheaters.
Z8 is currently overloaded with hack reports from the massive amount of hackers in the game.
If all servers other then Alpha, UK1, Rookie, Clan server, and UK Clan server had ping cap limits, 90% or more of the hackers will be gone and any left over hackers will get banned faster.
In the end it becomes manageable.

Change the vote kick system:- when i player got a vote kick 2-3 times and didnt get kicked, give the other team the ability to vote kick them. there are people who kick hackers, but that just wont cut it, there always are more unfair players then fair ones, the fair ones use their kick vote to kick hackers and get limited vote because of their nooby teammates.
maybe decreasing the time it takes for vote kick to restore would help. -

I constantly get kicked because of noobs that think I'm hacking, I'd rather not be kicked more than I already am, thank you. -

The kick vote isn't the problem, its the players who abuse it.
I get kicked all the time for trying to kick hackers, many players WANT the hackers on their team and when I try to kick them, they kick me instead.
Doesn't matter how the kick system works, intill the majority of players want to play fair it will always be abused. -

quoted for truth.
Still, best way to reduce hackers is to make it a real shame to hack. How that will be done, I dont know. -
i have read the whole discussion, and i am someone with a old account, the fact hacking is so rampant has a much deeper connection in crossfire than other games. i play off and on for 2 yrs, and its always the same thing. fact is i do not believe z8 are challengeable for the hacks or failure to deliver a product, i simply think that as z8 makes you gamble your money, of course most the world would back off. but they found a way to make gambling that involves underage ppl legal. that's the result. ppl wont gamble. if you say to me the gun costs 5 dollars, i want to be a collector that's fine. and over the years i pay more than for a real game for the fake one. the hacking is a way of ppl telling them we don't want to gamble. if my kid really wants a ak scope, why do i have to let my kid spin a roulette wheel? why cant i buy it? all z8 has done is exploit gambling to underage vulnerable people. or buy time limited stuff. this is the future of gaming guys, not i buy guildwars and can play forever buy expansions, now, i have to pay over 150 whatever money a year to play or dedicate myself, when we all know most games don't have that life span. this is no different than banks etc. if it wasn't for the gambling. and that is what will see z8's downfall. people want to pay for stuff they have not be forced to gamble on crates and 1 in a 1000 chances. you cant blame ppl for turning away from such a unrealistic capitalistic system. many people have spent over 500 dollars or more for nothing. many are underage and only going through a phaze.but rather than getting a product they get a chance at what? a gun.... and thats wrong. so i think first crossfire needs to look at it self. if i wanted to sue crossfire i would do it for promoting both gambling and as a anti reaction hacking and fraud in our youth.
sorry i come across confused i edited a bit but if your smart you will see what i mean. its about consumer rights in a product and for years caused these fights about whats fair etc.. z8 are the worst exploiters but not the first. and thay have a good product, still their failing as their to greedy. -

Because some Brazilian children using hacker?
No they should white list everyone's IP that has the honourable soldier ribbon and then country block Brazil.
Result? The decent and established non hacking Brazilians can stay:D -

hmmm get a decent enough ping then youll have the rights to say the game isnt meant for people
And who decides this will be? you, sir?
Why you do not ask for the creators of the game. Administrators. or who has the power to make this game unique and exclusive North American? hmm?
Why they let us play?
