Hack Types
First of all, you need to know which types of hacks exist and how you recognize them. In general, there are four types:
-Aimbot
-Wallhack (WH)
-Roccat
-No Recoil (NoRc)
-Koncept/h3h3/EvilHook Aim-Assists (=Aimbot or Roccat)
-Namechanging (=usually Aimbot)
A Multihack is a combination of several of these hacks, this name is usually used as another word for Aimbot because Aim usually comes in combination with WH and NoRc.
Aimbot: Aims automatically. Very often aims the players' heads, so can be detected easily if a player gets many headshots in 1-2 seconds. Demo is not really needed in obvious cases, nevertheless, I recommend to new members to record one until you gained some experience. 10 seconds are enough.
Sometimes, a player does not have aimbot all the time. He has a temporary aimbot or a key which enables the auto-aim. Can be recognized by a crazy moving screen, suddenly turning around and shooting someone immediately etc.
Example: http://www.mediafire.com/?9de642is46497r2 (how to open the demo will be explained later) Wallhack: Dots on the player's screen show him where his enemies are. Some players have obvious wallhacks, others are smart and hide it. Experienced players also recognize WHs cos the player is moving strange, always turning into a direction where a player will appear in a second etc. Watch out: Sound and UAV are player's friends. Experienced players shoot others without seeing them, radar and sound tell them where they are. Also, experienced players are spraying some walls because there are often players camping behind it. For you as a spectator: You are gonna get a feeling for the difference by experience. Attention: During sudden death in Sabotage there is a constant UAV for everybody! UAV-Jammer does not hide you in Sudden Death. Reporting of Hackers
Xfire
Give your xfire to as many players as possible! You can get called as an admin in a very fast and effective way. When you give someone your xfire tell him that when he sees a hack, not to shout on chat, tell him to call you on xfire. That way player with hack will not see that you are going in spectator becouse of him They know to be very scary on that question, they run away or go to spectator as well, or they simply turn their hack off. That goes for telling other admin that there is the hack too. You all have xfire ingame, use it! Open your xfire --> Tools --> Options --> Xfire In-Game(TAB) --> Enable Xfire In-Game --> Scroll Lock + X (You can put whatever you like or leave it like this). Once you have enabled xfire ingame always use it. This is the best option how to catch hacks
Never, but never, say on chat: [bLA]Zerg wallhack!, that is just wrong, he will turn it off and if you go to spec... you know already..
Teamchat
Other ways to tell someone is by teamchat (by pressing Y), or by players ID.
Keep in mind to check if that suspicious player is in your team or in other team, and check if your trustworthy person or other admin is in the same team as you
Demos
Which type of taking demos?
There is only ONE type of taking demo! Thru console and no other way! Demos taken on xfire( ) are not an option due this three most important reasons:
1. You cant check UAV on that player when you are watching that demo.
2. You dont have sound on demo.
3. You dont have features of COD4player. How to take demo? When you see suspicious kill or someone tells you, simply go to spectator. When you find your guy, start making demo right away, demos are not that heavy on HDD so its not going to take much space or you simply can erase them if you find that this guy is clean.
To start recording a demo, open your console with cedilla(¨¨¸ , right above TAB and below ESC) , when your console is down, type: /recordto start recording, to stop recording open your console again and type: /stoprecording. This way demo will be saved by numbers, ex: Demo0001.dm_1 . To record a demo with name of hacker, open your console and type: /record bimba, and then to stop record:/stoprecording. This way demo will be saved by names you gave them, ex: bimba.dm_1 . Dont forget that you cant make spaces in demo name, you cant type: /record bimba wh, but you can type /record bimba_wh . This way you will have spaces if needed Personally, and my advice is to make binds for /record and /stoprecord. It saves demos by numbers but it saves time while you write that command.
If you want: /bind f10 record
/bind f11 stoprecord This will bind your f10 and f11 keys to record and stoprecord.
[*]Where i can find my demos?
You can find your demos here:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main\demos for Windows XP or some users, and in
C:\Users\(*Your UserName*)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main\demos for Windows 7 users. Thank you guys for reading, if you have any questions, i will be glad to help, just ask
Feel free to ask any experienced admin to help you with hackers! It's normal, that spotting them is not really easy without any experience! Not being sure is no shame, better ask than doing fail-bans.
