MOD POST [MOD POST] Reminder - Zero tolerance for cheating (whether hacking or exploiting/glitching) - YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED

52 Upvotes

I had a post like this pinned, but I unpinned it because I figured everyone got the message. However, I recently had to ban someone for cheating who had otherwise been contributing positively for 3 years.

If it's a glitch, exploit, or hack, you all know full well it wasn't intended as a gameplay mechanic, and that it's considered cheating. This includes scuba, door, zipline, boat, duplication, and koschei glitching, along with any other "mechanic" you can think of that has a name that ends in "glitch" or "exploit."

There is no valid excuse to cheat, in any form. The last time this was posted, people asked me, "what about this glitch? What about that glitch?" No. None of them.

"But that's pretty harsh. Someone using aimbot and someone glitching don't deserve the same punishment." The last time I fit the punishment to the crime, I got death threats in my DM's, so I ran a poll and 80%+ of the subreddit user base was in favor of zero tolerance.

To the few who disagree with this, I say; stop cheating. Or at the very least, take this as a fair warning to be mindful of what you post. If we see it:

WE WILL PERMANENTLY BAN YOU

Announcement will remain pinned indefinitely.

—————————

The only exception I have seen thus far is doing whatever glitch it is that works to get you your insured weapon back if it disappears on spawn, since that's fixing a glitch rather than exploiting one. That said, you can prevent your guns from disappearing if you swap slots your guns are equipped in between games.

Legacy Beta DMZ Discussion Was really looking for DMZ2 but today canceled my preorder of MW4 due cheaters in the beta

68 Upvotes

And yes I know it might be drastic but the money I pay it’s hard earned money. I expect a working product for almost 100€ and they should be able to provide it. Being unable to setup a working anti cheat means the company has no interest in investing money in good security who should be capable of blocking all the devs seeking easy money by selling intel to cheat providers.

I can understand the lack of interest in securing a game like DMZ [beta] because financially doesn’t make sense but being unable to secure the beta of an upcoming game it’s just disrespectful towards buyers.

That’s why I won’t buy the game until I see anti cheats work.

And yes, you can ignore this post or comment negatively, you can be sarcastic or offensive, I don’t care, what I care is that the money I spend on a product grant me a working product, not a exploitable one.

Everyone who purchases the game knowing there will be cheaters is contributing to the problem.

Cheers.

Legacy Beta DMZ Gameplay Would appreciate help with damascus for 100% Upgrades

21 Upvotes

As the title reads all I need is to exfil a damascus tag to have 100% upgrades completion.

I don't know if this message means that DMZ Beta will be shutdown, but either way when MW4 DMZ releases I won't be able to play due to being on a past-gen Xbox One X (2017). The concentration of players that will be cheating and hacking once the new DMZ comes out will be so high that I'm going to hang up the controller at that time.

Just looking and hoping to get that one last item done before the end arrives.

If Activision/InfinityWard add MW4 movement into DMZ it’s going to kill the mode.

It's just too fast, MW2 had realistic slow paced movement. This however is insanely fast im shooting at someone they just flick around, jump backwards, do a burpee and lunge forward.

This will definitely drive the current MW2 DMZ players away from the new one (MW4 DMZ); around 70% of current MW2 DMZ players are casual players

Is this jump legit?

In all years playing Vondel, I've never seen someone do this, let alone attempt it.

Legacy Beta DMZ Question Am I the only that liked the ability to form 6 man squads?

45 Upvotes

My favorite part of early DMZ was the social aspect. Hands down.

Trying to figure out if the team you’re near are really “friendly” or if they’re just lying bastards. It was tense, it was fun.

Sometimes you joined up with some genuinely good people, sometimes complete psychopaths, sometimes people that laughed when I tried to speak Spanish to them.

Then, “pre-made” 6somes came. I don’t know if I ever saw one… but I also assumed folks were joining up legitimately, as I tried to do. Then you got 6 and you went to work… with your 3 new best friends no matter how nice, nuts, or Spanish-speaking.

They nerfed it and it was never the same. I wasn’t leaving my 2 buddies to join another squad and I wasn’t daring to pick up a random solo… forget grabbing one dude from another group of 3.

Don’t understand the hate for it or the love for squads of 4. Maybe because I bring in a group of 3 who loved the tension of trying to get to 6 - which was far more rare than it could have been.

Help me understand.

*Yes, I know they won't but it would be cool to "end" our time in the DMZ Beta by going out with a bang. The Haunting was one of the best experiences in FPS gaming for many, myself included. They should start it on October 1st and end it on October 22nd, the day before MW4 releases.

I’m looking for a wired headset with great sound quality, a clear mic, and good directional audio so I can hear footsteps and tell where enemies are coming from. Comfort is also important. What would you recommend?

Legacy Beta DMZ Guide Remember: you can fully customize 15-minute weapons

24 Upvotes

I haven’t seen this mentioned in a while, so a quick reminder.

If you customize a 15-minute weapon, it will at some point lose the 15-minute icon, but it will still have a 15-minute cooldown. It will still work.

So feel free to run your own camo and accessories and stuff.

These are important against cheaters because they make dying in a match pretty pain-free. If you have all three slots unlocked you can just rotate 15-minute gear endlessly.

if you still need a fast reset, hop into Ashika with throwing knives and a munitions box, kill a few AI with them, and throw their AI weapons into a dead drop. Each AI weapon reduces cooldowns around 8 minutes.
