=Matt= 0 Posted March 21, 2006 hi i loved and enjoyed ofp since the first week it came out, until now. I made some missions, scripts, addons... and i saw on pubblic server, things that really made ofp unplayable. That has probably being said many times on this forum, i would like to discuss to the future of flashpoint, arma, and if it will have the same "naive" netcode that allows cheaters to do anything they want. A first point, the most important i think, is the packets that are being sent: if i modify on my client, the config of weapons, and set them to a kind of uberdamageguns, when i shot, my client, will send the damage!!!!! not just a vector and what gun i've fired... no the damage i dealt!! the same thing, decides if the player, i've shot, is dead or not... so if im laggin like 300ms of latency, and you 1ms, is not the server that will decide who shot first (like in all other games) the second point, are the mods, addons n stuff... at least, checking some crcs or kindof... would be not a bad idea... since ppl can modify whatever they want... at least when connecting a server... (the measures introduced in ofp, was something that cheaters laughted about) I like competitive playing, ladders, tourneys... thats impossible to play competitive without some "security" (modified textures, removed objects, and so on... ) Other games, like quake3... counter strike source... since the counter measures has been implemented, vac, punkbuster, cheating death... u dont find many cheaters, and they are fast spotted, and globally banned. Many times, i asked myself, if who implemented ofp, had already played an online game... (the vote system is ridicolous too, but its another discussion) if arma comes out, without serious cheating counter measures, and a "stronger" netcode, i will buy it anyways, and play with my friends...(ofp, is the most fantastic gaming experience i found, u did something great with this game... lets do next having learned from bad experiences...)but it will be a shame... that wont be possible to have serious ladders, and competitions, as other games have... tnx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
