    Yup, just tellin everyone to watch out.

    I was in 2Fort earlier and there was an enemy engineer on the sniper battlements and he kept wrenching the snipers, then jumping back into the wall. Then he would come out and do the same thing again. Wasn't long before an admin banned him. Has anyone else seen this thing?

    Hopefully it gets patched soon. I didn't even know there were hacks available for Team Fortress 2, and who would even want to use hacks in a game like that....

    I know, it's pretty annoying. There are aimbots and ESP for TF2 too :(

    It's sad really, There's so many public hacks, and because of VAC, anyone can just pay $110 per year and hack all they want in any game on STEAM Cafe, because it uses a different steam ID every time you log in, and VAC 2 takes 3 months to ban a user.

    But not only can they hack, but they can skin EVERYTHING in the game unless the server sets a custom whitelist, or has SV_pure 2 turned on in the server. Wall skins that make every wall, or texture in every map transparent are legal because they are considered a skin by VAC2 and not a hack, and are unknowingly allowed in about 98% of servers.

    That's why for all valve games that use VAC anti cheat, you still need a few good admins, and a custom whitelist like the one I created for my own server to allow player view model weapon skins ONLY and nothing else.

    If you really want to truely see what the hacker sees, look no further than YouTube, alow of companies will create demo videos demonstrating every feature of thier hack, and there are also alot of lame people who seem to think it's cool and makes them better than everyone else. Even go as far as calling everyone else noobs in the server. These videos are good for server hosts like myself though as it helps to know what kind of behavior they have and what to look for.

    It's SO annoying when someone hacks in TF2. I remember one time I where this ultra-fast heavy was glitching everywhere and killing everyone. The worse thing was that he had a blank name so you couldn't take any actions against him.

    I was able to take him out as a demo, though :)

    Type 'status' in console to see their Steam IDs, then report them to the admin later.
