I feel sorry for people who have to cheat.. You have to start walking before you run... Just practice !!

kazuma9993829d ago

Lol hacking/cheating takes the fun out of the game. Eventually they will get bored and leave but so lame lol.

KidBroSweets23829d ago

Your first sentence, I completely agree with. The second one, I highly doubt. If they do get bored, they'll just make a new account and just hack/cheat all over again.

AgentSmithPS43829d ago

There are plenty of cowards and weaklings that will cheat for a long time.

We need to make new laws to deal with scum like this, at the very least I'd like to see them punished by having to do many hours of community service cleaning up trash along streets etc.

joe903829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

This is why Devs should release private servers so we can deal with these people. Leaving hackers up to the Devs is garbage. The amount of times i have reported hackers and nothing happens to them.

G_Hartley_3829d ago

We will Find You!!!... And we will Kill you... Well kinda. Maybe shame up your PC!!!

H0RSE3828d ago

Although there are those who cheat for the "lols" of trolling, many cheat to get an edge - think of it like using steroids in professional sports. Competition, or the "high" that comes from winning, is very self destructive and can be very addictive.

sigfredod3829d ago

That is one of the advantages to play in consoles, on Pc give you the advantage of the mods, but the hacking is way to easy and way too popular

Codey473829d ago

Consoles have hackers too.

sigfredod3829d ago

Yes but way less than pc

AnteCash3829d ago

Its much much worse on PC, loved the sniper 50 to 1 KD in BF3 in the middle of Op. firestorm map

MadLad3829d ago

@sigfredod

Of course it does.
Let's not marginalize its affect on console gaming though. You almost present it as a non-issue, which is far from the case.

Elit3Nick3829d ago

it's much more limited on console though. On PC people can run programs that enable things not possible by the game itself, where consoles would not allow those programs to run.

Codey473829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

No they just modify save/profile data instead. Or buy "hardware"

Anybody remember GT5 Users getting banned from online portions of the game for Illicitly modified "data"

Robert Bowling blaming Sony's "security" for mw3 hacks

Next Gen consoles IMO need to implement some anti cheating counter measures IE: like Punkbuster but Sony or Microsoft's version if they don't want to pay the large fee's.

thorstein3829d ago

Good call Codey. You can buy modded controllers on Amazon that come with some of the most bizarre cheats.

How is it even fun?

And yes, PC has them, that is why I love Valve's Anticheat servers.

Section83828d ago

You'll never notice it. Unlike your shit pc.

I don't recall coming across a lot of hackers when playing on console /s

@jriquelme-paraguay
They ruined World at War for me.
The only one I ever put time into. :/

jriquelme_paraguay3829d ago

play MW 1, 2, 3, or World at War, Black Ops 1 -_-
Flying, invisible god peopple

Are_The_MaDNess3829d ago

yeah yeah, hacking happens more on the PC than other places. but we atleast have good admin support in our servers

Section83828d ago

I guess pc always needs support. Since when does a console need it. Not enough to have a support network.

Are_The_MaDNess3828d ago

admins on game servers are great.
with hacking or no hacking.
much better game and server when they are there watching out for us.

ziggurcat3829d ago

hacking a video game to cheat is one of the saddest things anyone can do...

Naughty__Boy3829d ago

sometimes when i play bf3 on ps3 i think some players have some sort of cheat going on.

IVanSpinal3829d ago

its called Natural Skills XP

FITgamer3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

I've never ran into any hackers on BF, at least i never noticed it, but I have on every COD game. MW2 was the worst.

Gozer3829d ago

I have never run into any hackers on BF3 for consoles. However I have run into people using glitches in the game to cheat. Like Conquest on Kharg Island. There is a glitch that lets you get under the map on a boat. You can take flags and kill people with c4 and they cant even see you.

JasonKCK3829d ago

If it's online people find a way to cheat no matter what platform you game on.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot759d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250758d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface757d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop758d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno758d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel759d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps758d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33758d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888758d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH758d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
