Here are some descriptions of cheaters i've found: Whereas I have not been able to recreate it, i have seen two people use it, both were hosting the game. It was on the bunkers level. When you start in the actual ammo bunker, and walk straight out, about ~5 feet to the right hand side is a long box. after the box is the turns to head towards the middle of your bunker side (where the disarm thing is). Anyways, it is this box that can be used to cheat in. Using the HB sensor I spotted someone right where this box was, yet running by the box quickly i saw nothing. Walking by again, I noticed a gun sticking out of it, and suddenly I was shot. Since he was on the other team, i could not change views, but I did change my view when I was dead. Now with the "movie-action type cam" I could clearly see this guy was inside that box. Others came by, noticed him in the box and tried but failed to shoot him. The host also disabled c4 and frags, which i assume would be the only way to kill him. I spose this is a geometry bug. And since i've only seen it twice out of about 10,000 games, it's not used by many. Another one i saw once, some guy was yapping about a C4 bug. He was on the other team. We were playing bunkers. When the game started, both teams were inside the Ammo bunker. When I was running to the other side of MY base, i heard an explosion and suddenly a team member from the other side had flown (or been blasted?) right in by the disarm thing. There was no way he could run that far from the other side of the map in the 5 seconds it took me to get to this area. I've only seen this happen once.. and was not experiencing lag. Any other cheats people have noticed? IP: Logged |

There are several geometry cheats like this. Unfortunatly they exist but hopefully something will be done about it. I wouldn't worry about them when playing in a clan match or or with people you know. It is easy to get caught doing these. For one, yo ucan usually see their gun sticking out and second, you can tell who was hiding in the level by seeing who shot you. Becareful not to yell "cheat" too fast on someone. A lot of times wierd things will happen because of lag, etc. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Since sniker asked people to report cheats to RSE, but only gave his email adress, I'll post some RSE adresses. Greg Stelmack: greg.stelmack@redstorm.com Support People: Support@redstorm.com It's probably best to send emails to Greg since the support people deal mainly with driver malfunctions. IP: Logged |

I got stuck while playing awhile back. It was in ruined city and I went up in a building near a ledge. I got on the ledge and peeked for a better persective of the street, then all of the sudden I fell, but then I ended up flying up and getting stuck. I was not a cheater though so I did not take advandtage of this spot and tried fragging myself, but I could not. So I asked my teamates to try and shoot me down, but that didn't work. So we aborted the game. It's sad people need to cheat, I mean in MP (I'm not saying I cheated in SP  ). Well maybe someone could add in an object inside of these spots, but who would have enough time to do that?-Snipe IP: Logged |

Boy, another weird one happened to me yesterday while playing. This could be a fluke, or mean intentions: Got on a server with 2 other guys in a clan, both ranting how bad ass they were. First game i nailed them both, they got real upset. When the second game loaded, SOMEHOW my left mouse button (FIRE) was redirected to right-alt #2, (a team chat command). I got killed, obviously, and when I told them what happened i got the typical "poor baby" reply. Now I know i didnt disconnect/goto options and revise my commands between battles. I had to quit the multiplay and go in and physically change left-mouse button back to fire.. IP: Logged |

Not much like what happened to you, but my "A" key got stuck before. In my key map that is alpha go. Well, I don't know if it actually got stuck or what, but man was it annoying. Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go...Alpha Go. People where asking who that was and I just had to admit it, but I didn't want to be booted and left fixing it coming back in. -Snipe IP: Logged |

Found an annoying C4 problem. If you lay down a C4 and wait for someone, and when they get near it and you tap fire a couple times (its kinda nerve wracking to time it right, so I often press fire several times to make sure it blows up) your C4 will explode, but you'll lose your remaining balance of them.. Sometimes you even end up with "-2", other times it doesnt even show any digit for remaining C4's.. Only works right if you have nerves of steel and only press fire ONCE.. IP: Logged |

I noticed some more amazingly fast movements from one side of a map to the other.. After playing some custom maps over and over, it's become obvious that 99% of the time it's simply people warping because of lag. We watched one fellow with a real awful ping on a custom level that trapped all of us in the Chalet house. Barrels were placed at all exits, fool proof. Because this guy's link was soo bad, and that multiplayer games generally "anticipate" where you are going related to your movements, he would "warp" outside of the house fairly often.. Happens to me every so often to on my 56k.. Be running straight, then all of a sudden fly hundreds of yards in another direction.. Sometimes on Chalet, when running outside on the balcony near the big windows, i've warped behind that outhouse thing and land with a thud (and sometimes die). Please oh please broadband in the sky, No DSL nor CABLE access is not fair, help! IP: Logged |

I know how to do that cheat where you hide in the box on bunkers, but it is wierd, it only works on some servers. If you are careful, you can hide yourself totaly and use 3rd person view, you can sneak out when someone runs by, go after them and shoot em in the back =P **i used this cheat like 2 times both of them with my friends, i'm NOT a cheater** I'm not gonna tell you how to do it, but you can do it also on some moded maps (basicaly same thing) BUT there is a way (i also know) to get inside of cars and then you r invincable and you can shot ppl passing by (i dont do that often either) and when you in the car/truck it turns invisable and it like there just standing then in the open, but invincable. I'm not gonna write them, in case some idiot finds them out and tells 1/2 the world and rogue spear will then have almost as much cheating as in diablo =P. well, cya ------------------ IP: Logged |

Dont play against a host called "sniperchic". I nailed this person with %100 accuracy 30 shots from my HK G36k rifle, they lived and had the nerve to say they were'nt cheating. I've captured the screen shot right here: http://www.geocities.com/kwal209/sniperc.html [This message has been edited by k.wal (edited 02-07-2000).] IP: Logged |

Hey k.wal, I've played with you before on the Zone! I think it was a few days ago. It's good you took that screenshot as proof. Sniperchic only hit you with 7% accuracy. That's screwed up. Warthog IP: Logged |
