Too many hackers
What the hell is up with all these aimbots? Sniper can for some reason headshot you from the hip as you're free falling. People gunning you down from 100 meters with all direct hits. I ran out from cover and died in 2 sec from a guy 100 meters using an SMG. I had a guy who literally took down my shields in 1 hit and then the next hit was a kill. I was a heavy just like him with fully upgrade. He was in a crouch position and i came behind him. Unloaded onto his head and he turned around and kill me in 1 sec. His shield was still full. Kill cam show him taking out another 2 of my teammates in a instant while shooting from the hip. Didn't change mags either. Had one light assault have all his rounds impact me as we was in the trees. As he was free falling, all his rounds impacted me while I was still in the tree gliding to another branch.
Had a sniper sniping us through our own smoke screen with nothing but headshots. It was 9 of us against 1. 3 guys threw smoke screen and soon as I ran stuck my head out. Dead. Kill cam shows him on the other side of our smoke maybe 60 meters away. we gave up knowing he was using a hack and went to a different battle.
Had a recon run through both my AP mines, decloacked and killed me. He still had full health and shield even though both mines hit him.

Some battles I been in were legit where heavies didnt seem to have invincible shield taking on 4 people with no scratch, snipers missing from time to time, and sneaking up on people landing my hits on their heads actually killed them.

This s all on Emerald server. They just be steam rolling through all of us.

Found this topic from 2012.

People were complaining about cheaters not being banned even then.

And in all my almost 3k hours i have not seen over 3 hackers.
Untill the NSO patch came out and a weakens came about.
So a hacker is not uncommen to see and feel, like when the hacker got access to admin tools.

All the videos i have of hackers, are from after the NSO update:

absolutely. lmg's as well. fire and no recoil. no spread. absolute headshots with them all. at 100 meters +.

it's crazy. in the past 2 weeks i have around 80 hours in the game on the US server. and it's constant. people toggling this on and off. that and shooting through objects. smooth botting as well.

i hope they do something about this...

Denying that there are big amounts of hackers since the last two weeks is the peak level of fanboy behaviour - common guys, the ♥♥♥♥ is way too obvious. Or is it a game mechanic to shoot through walls while flying around in max or killing 20 people in mere seconds with a Bishop through walls?

No one is denying anything. But just complaining isn't going to help the issue.

So what else? Writing a better anti-cheat program for them?
planetside 2 will forever be the go to game to develop aimbots and fps centric hacks because the game is free, there are no GMs and support is slow
just visit any popular cheat forum and you will see several threads of newbie hackers discussing how develop for this game
the solution is always online GMs, but this means employing competent people that know the game and less revenue, its all about the bottom line so it will never happen

yep. and it's tough to pay the $15 a month membership when it's like this. no honest way to really compete with people shooting through walls and the like...

Shooting and flying sure, but most aimbot accusations are nothing-burgers.
I know people with overall 40% accuracy and 70% head shot ratio I also know much more than that and they're likely to be banned in the next ban wave.
999/1000 its some mixture of client side and them being better than you.
Also for being fully upgraded. That doesn't change HA shield amount it's always 450 these days.

Can you mark the section where I mentioned aimbots or any stuff Clientside is responsible for?

It was more a general response to the discusssion rather than you.
Pointing out that flying maxes are obviously cheats, but that a lot of the aimbot accusations are nothing-burgers.

Been playing a lot past few days. Haven't noticed any obvious cheaters at all on my server.

I noticed one hacker a few months ago. A flying TR MAX with aimbot. I think the Devs are slacking when it comes to bans.
