Oh, the temptation to cheat... Options

[Sgt.Slappy]

Hey guys,

Once a gain, always a pleasure to play on your servers.

A few things I have noticed though... Aimbot is alive and well, as are a few other funky things. Some people suffer no damage or "shellshock effects" from running through enemy arty, or the same from planting a tank main gun round at their feet - they just keep on running along; and another is something along the lines of being "bulletproof": for example, if I sneak up on an enemy, dump a sub-gun into their back (strangely getting no hits), only to have them turn around and blast me to hell, or having to shoot a light tank 2-3 x squarely in the rear armor with a bazooka to destroy it. It isn't lag, (and before you start the insults, I am not just playing sucky or missing the target) Its's something else... it can be very frustrating.

In a round-about way I guess I'm asking is Punk Buster doing anything at all besides kicking people for having a high ping? Or "not returning key packets" or some such? People are still cheating. Makes me wish I could give the same treatment right back to the punks who pull this crap.

Of course, this does cause me to keep my skills sharp. Hmmm... maybe its not so bad after all.

Eh, perhaps I'm just venting.

Anyway, see you people on the battlefield.

Good hunting,

Sgt.Slappy

I can't speak with certainty about what happened when you played today but I can tell you I'm 100% sure there is no such cheat allowing a player not to take damage.
There is randomness built into the game. Your 1st post mentioned a player running through arty without taking damage or shell shock. I've on 2 seperate occasions have successfully made a mad dash to save a bunker while arty was being dropped on it. Shells dropped all around me but I was able to make it into the bunker. Was I cheating? Of course not, I just happen to be real lucky those two times, every other time I died before I took 2 steps towards a bunker being hit by arty.
