One way to tell if BF2 pilots are hacking...

....look for guys dropping their bombs before they've even come over
the horizon or guys with great great scores, but a lot of TK's too.
I'm guessing some of the glowie hacks make it difficult to
differentiate at high speeds.

Last night I'm lying in the middle of a field in high grass, ...tanks
are driving past me, people are running past me... then with no one
around me my own guy flys over and promptly drops his bombs on me.

Next game, same guy, this time on the opposite team, coming around the
corner of a mountain....I see his bombs before I see him....

Dunno if they were 'Hacking', but I was in a chopper with some guys
yesterday, and one of the engineers kept chucking mines out, the medic kept
throwing out health packs, so, as I was support, I started throwing out
ammo-packs.

Made quite a few points too !!

Doesn't chucking them around willy-nilly not just re-supply your team AND
the enemy team as well....?

Here's an idea for the next patch - aiding and abetting the enemy will
give you a negative score ;-)

tehn no one will drop packs and it is hard enough to stay armed as AT or
spec ops as it stands now because so few people play as support.

Quite possible, but I did try to throw them in areas where our guys were,
(By checking the map.).

One can appreciate the humor and still see the problems that might entail.
Humor often results from pain. It's a coping mechanism.

I understand that if you turn off some of the eye candy the grass
disappears and you can see troops clearly. I think in some cases the fog
limit may also go away so you can see across the map. Maybe PunkBuster
needs to check that you're not running a too-cheap video card. Only people
wealthy enough to pay for bleeding-edge hardware should be allowed to play.
:/

(This is why I dismiss eye candy in new games and look at the game play
element. I find it disgusting how much attention is given to screen shots
of fancy rendering hardware in game magazines and online reviews.)

thats a damn good idea, negative supply points.

they could fix the ammo for corpses too, while they are at it.
drop a ammo pouch on a corpse and you hear the click click click,
dont think you get points, but good tactic to scare enemy nearby,
if they think theres more alive than actualy are.

I doubt the dice folks do as they implemented some rather odd things
that no doubt had to have been suggestred with "smilies"

you actually have the option in your settings for nVidia cards to turn
fog table emulation to OFF. so you can see to the horizon anyway.
