But......... I have been playing on your servers for a long time now. I have to wonder about some players and their ability for some amazing shots. One that come s to mind is omgits50cal , he can go like 30 to 40 kills and a handful of deaths, never running out of ammo. Shooting areas where if you never move can you see the enitre map but yet he does . One map is the castle he went 33 and 3 on that. Has anyone ever specd him? It also seems he only gets on certain maps that you can use a sniper rifle on.
Another thing I have noticed is players shooting walls when you cant even see the person. if you spawn in a spot and dont move or shoot how can they know your there yet here comes a bullit. I have shot walls but only after a team mate has gone down or I am told someone is there.
Last thing on my mind is the pistol walkers, how is it I cant take one down half the time with a mg but they shoot one round and I am dead,not a head shot just a shot? I cant even do that with my pistol.
I know pb isnt perfect and hackers do get around that but if I was bk I would qeustion some of the players as diligently as you do the runners.
You still have a great server and I will continue to play here I just need to vent and hopefully you take some of this to heart, and no this isnt my first go round I have been playing first person shooters since the medal of honor days and I know when hacks are being used and when players are just lucky.
Thank you for your time

If you see a guy getting a high amount of sniping kills chances are he's got a great sniping spot and he's also a good shot. If you see this drop from the game and spec him yourself, this way you'll at least know what spot he's using for next time. I've found a number of good spots this way.
There is a wall hack out there and I know of one time for sure that someone was using it. BK members spectated him and he was kicked & banned for cheating. It rarely happens though and the above example is the only time I'ver personally seen it on bk servers.
As for the pistol walkers they are a tricky bunch for sure. Still it's allowed and they are not cheating. Also it takes a great deal of practice and skill to be able to do what they do sucessfully. I use to get frustrated because I'd shoot first and before I could kill a pistol waker he'd plug me with just one shot from that .357 and down I'd go. Now I load "double tap" with just about every automatic weapon I have and it seems to work well. Provided I shoot first I can usually bring them down before they can get off a shot. Usually but not always. Hope this helps.

Good shots I know,good spots a given. I am no slouch there as a few of you know. But when I cant see the shooters and for that matter few others one has to wonder is thier eyes that much better,mine that much worse or could it be something else? Food for thought

people always say they see better, they have a better computer..don't believe it...I have the I7 chip, 1000w power, 6 gig ram, 600.00 vid card..and I still sux..so its not the machine...and punkbuster will not catch everyone..in another server with another clan there was the same thing about cheating, and someone said if they were punkbuster would catch them...it won't..but never call someone a cheat unless you have some screen shots to back it up. I would never want to be called a cheater, and with my score i never will..but I wont call someone a cheater till I see it myself. Remember its only a game..and play with the ones that you have fun with...life is way to short.. see you in game .........target

Target, I have been around these games for a long long time,seen alot of things and I know when a cheat is being used.Now that said there is a few new cheats out there that I havent seen of or seen used. I also know when a player is good and when someone is is haveing a good round. I am not calling ANY ONE a cheat just qeustionable. What I am asking for is that bk be a little more dilligent on maybe specing some one that is having such a game and give them a kick if they seem to be mowing the other team down with little to no deaths.If they are legit then they will come and post to say why and please let me play.
I agree it's only a game and I play for fun, I dont care about winning or loseing or k/d ratios. I do care about a even playing field and I will get very po'd when I dont see that. Alot of my deaths are because of me looking one way and not the other, a bunch of spawn kills, but mostly some very better players then me. I can gauge my day by being even or up on some of the non bk members and alot of the bk members lol

BK runs their servers as they see fit and don't make catching cheaters via streaming technologies a high priority. BK relies on PB alone and the judgment of admins. They run their servers for fun, not competitiveness and really if you think about it, have few rules. As for suspected cheaters, take it to the admins and they will choose to look at it or not and take the appropriate action based on their own rules. Also there's degrees of cheating, and what I mean by that is, I personally find "wheelbinding" to be cheating and to some it's not because the game "allows" the fire button to be bound to the mouse wheel. Although highly controversial within the gaming community and considered cheating by Anti-Cheat organizations (AON, PBBans and others), wheelbinding is not considered cheating by PunkBuster. The best thing to do is contact the administrative staff and alert them to the suspected problem and let them deal with it on their terms.

another thing to consider, is that the better you have your graphics, the more clutter will be in the way, Obscuring your enemies. the draw distance is a source of constant amusement to me, as i play predominantly as a sniper. next time you are on a large map, look from one side to the other, and notice how there is no tall grass in the distance. then, aim at the same spot, only this time look through your scope. suddenly there is chest high grass there! as a sniper, it is possible to hit someone without seeing them while scoped, if you could see them unscoped.
Another related thing I have seen done: SOP for some gaming tournaments and clans is to turn your world detail all the way down before playing. This will delete most of the grass, and make enemies stick out more from the backround.
So, as you can see, having a better computer can actually be a detriment in some situations. ...Just offering some alternatives...
BigDawg, I can understand your frustration, but some people just have no life
. I hope that your future experiences in our Servers are better.

Yes, as Braxis says, don't give up because of one bad apple....COD 5 can be tweaked to raise FPS and refine what you see as it were. You can conceivably raise Frame Rates form 90 to 250 with the right tweaks...dependent on equipment. Although I cannot point you to the specific forums post about tweaking COD 5 because it happens to be my forums...just google tweaking COD 5. I am sure you will find console commands to tweak your COD 5.
