Vanguard: Normandy 1944

[Gusington]

Heh 'Aimbot' is a great nickname.

Good, albeit lengthy, overview:

Those scenes remind me of Brothers in Arms

[JasonPratt]

Is this video from the jasonpratt school of reviews?

BAH! -- NOT EVEN 14 MINUTES! I HAVE DERISION!

[MengJiao]

Yes, but you'll be begging other people so....

  Speaking of begging other people, here is the Grand tactical map that covers where the scenarios mentioned in Vanguard would be:

"Our aim is to keep this bathroom clean. Your aimbot will help."

[Gusington]

HA

[Sir Slash]

Is there such a thing as a 'Beer-Bot' or maybe 'Bar-Bot'? Cause that would be very helpful to me when I'm in the pool. I'm afraid the cat just won't cooperate and the dogs will drink half of it before it gets to me.

[Gusington]

You need a better Aimbot.

[Father Ted]

The problem with all these MP shooters is the bottom dwellers who use aimbot and such.  They ruin the games for me anyway.

"All" MP shooters are hacked? You have evidence for this? The reason I ask is that two people in this thread already have cited your assertion as a reason for them not to try MP and I would hope that people are not making such decisions based on false info...

[Gusington]

I choose not to play MP because most of the time...99%...adolescent idiots ruin the game.

[Geezer]

"All" MP shooters are hacked? You have evidence for this?...

Do I have evidence that every single MP shooter ever made has hackers?  Nope.  And I don't really think anyone, except you I guess, took my comment that literally.  However between aimbots, ESP, wallhacks, etc, I would not be surprised if "many but maybe not all" MP shooters have hackers in them.  And no I don't have any evidence on how many hackers either, but I've seen enough to know the hackers ruin those games for me.

[Gusington]

^This.

  The current crop of WWII shooters and their close relation -- Squad -- ( ie the current crop Post-scriptum, Vanguard and Hell-warmed-over) seem to be a little different for some reasons or other (not exactly sure what -- better anti-cheat?, different population?  Lack of popularity?  Other games to play? weapons and situations that take some thought?  More communication?).  I haven't seen any cheating of any kind in post scriptum and only a little bit of team killing and even the team-killing wasn't very disruptive since word went out "If you see UpsidedownMousilini just kill him."  Team killing at its worst had much less impact than a well-placed mortar barrage...so pure firepower wielded by the commanders in-game could be why the games work differently these days...It's kind of pointless to hack when a few chain-of-command mouse clicks can do 1000 times more damage than any amount of hacking.

[DoctorQuest]

I have enough reasons to stay away from MP beyond any accusations of hacking. My gaming time is limited and SP just suits my schedule better.

[Geezer]

...I haven't seen any cheating of any kind in post scriptum ....

I don't want to derail this thread into a rant on hacking and I'm not playing Vanguard so I'll just leave it with this link:
