Here`s something for you all to think about.
And please correct me if I`m wrong!!!!!
Don`t Admits now have the option to disable autodownloads on their server eg: new maps and Muts???
The reason I`m asking lets say I have a server running I install a mut, no one will know it is there without me enabling autoD/L
or stating it on the server search screen. Well with as many mut out as there are unless someone installs each and everyone of them some weird looking things could be seen during gameplay. Which could also be deemed as cheating. And I thought someone had hacked the code, this is much easier........
The case in point, last night I was on a different server normal Ctf face, sniping away kept getting hit by someone but could not find them (I know ALL the sniper spots on face) but could see the shells fly, Umm maybe they are on the opposite ramp with just the scope over the edge. Ok took care of them with a redemer went back to sniping. Next thing I know I`m getting hit(my position only allowed enough of me showing for someone a head shot, this wasn`t ) I turned went for the armor, as soon as i turned I saw the fire was coming from behind me in the corner of the ramp next to the tranlocator, I could see the shells fly and the muzzle flash but NO ONE standing(kneeling) there. I shot the muzzle flash and it annouced head shot, I had just killed casper the ghost(real name Cyclops).........
It turned out he was also the Admit. Now all the info posted about a server is voluntary so it makes sense now some of the weird things I have seen. There is nothing in the server browser or the ingame info that scans their server to list what has been installed (as far as muts go) so therefore an admit could give themselves a nice little edge if wanted...And by the way I think I found the Mut that he might have been using, It is designed for spawn protection, it makes spawners totally invisable for XXX amount of time, TIME=ADMIT selectable....
I don`t know how we as players can overcome this, other then play on known good servers. We can`t ask epic to install a scanner with 1400 or so servers that would take forever, something we could do would be come up with a scanner that after selecting a server would scan it and report which if any mut`s have been installed and give you the option to join or not..
