Possible hacker?

03-30-2011, 11:12 AM

Hey there i know this is my first post and i dont want to appear to be a troll but a in-game player on TF2 (team fortress 2) has forced me to come here and report this.

let me begin....

I accpeted a dule from another player in good spirits and after stating to lose i realised he was playing spy and camping near my spawn, i instinctively switched to pyro to counter this... though this did nothing. i was dying from backstabs when i had my back in a corner AFTER checking ig with the back burner.

Also on the occasion i did see him he did not ignite, knowing to retreat slighty from aburning enemy i did this and to amazement the player was not alight and could not be set alight in anyway. also any criticals i inflicted with the backburner were nullified instantly.

The Server is the Nighteam 24/7 fast respawn Goldrush server. I am well used to dealing with the premiums on that server and i am a long time standing player and i can assure you that the player in question was no premium user...

Thanks in advance for your help in advance

How do I report a cheater?

As VAC is an automated system, user submitted bans are not accepted. As VAC uses a delayed ban system, the chances are that the cheater you encountered in-game has been flagged by VAC and will be banned in the near future. If you believe a player is cheating in a server the recommendation is that you contact the administration team for that specific server in order to report the possible cheater. This will allow the administration team for the server investigate the possible cheater in more depth and take whatever action they feel is appropriate.

Try reporting it to the admin of the server for short-term banning until VAC does it's job.

Night team servers are premium servers, meaning members who donate to the servers get special perks suck as invincibility mode for a short period of time, anit-gravity, no limit on sentries built, etc...He might have just been a server donator and not a cheater (depends who you ask

) Many people hate these types of servers, so just blacklist and change servers until you find a non-premium one.

The OP mentions the premium bits, but it still may be a new premium member. But the fact remains, can't really report cheaters.
