Remember OSI's "clean up the servers" push? Gave everyone trash barrels to drop their excess items in to lighten server memory. Your reward for being a packrat w\ OCD? Maybe a few bless deeds if you'd a truly remarkable stash. Which was more than enough to make PvP double plus ungood.GORDON wrote:Reminds me of blessed weapons in UO, and I didn't like those, either.

So what class are you guys playing?
I used the soldier for a bit today (working from home) and that's the brainless kill machine, which I was doing quite effectively.
Still, I want to put the engineer boots back on. I excelled at that class back in TFC, but it's a bit different here. I was watched another guy today and he gave me some good ideas on where to put my machines that I built for maximum efficiency.

I hit a server yesterday that said something about being "VAC Protected" or something. It claimed those caught cheating would be permanently banned. I saw it happen too as some guy was spamming sounds. A few seconds later the sounds ended and a message appeared that he was permanently banned.
In the 6 rounds I played I was in the top 3 scorers 4 times. I lead the pack twice. (9-16 players were on at any given time.)
I did not experience anything that I thought was cheating.

Next time that happens look in the upper right to see what killed you.
I learned quickly to watch out for spies.
P.S. I'll probably be on tonight after 10 for an hour or two.

VAC sucks. I've never seen it auto-ban people, and they are blatently cheating. As in, running 100x faster than they should be. Walking upside down on the ceilings. Auto headshotting everyone with an aim bot, etc. VAC sucks. The only time I see people banned are on managed servers. As in, an admin bans them.
That being said, all of the above cheating was in CS, not TF2. But both are 'protected' by VAC. So, I'm sure, in time, the hax will be out for TF2 and you'll see similar stuff.
What Liesher said. . . are you sure it was an HWG that killed you? Did you think that because that's what you saw shooting you, or that's what the icon in the upper right said? Was he assisted? etc. If you were getting single shot killed as a HWG by a HWG from across the map, that's a cheater. If it was a head shot from a hidden sniper or a back stab by a spy, then that's all you sucking.
I miss PunkBuster. It worked.
