Can I get banned or not?/Code of Conduct

[Lovroman]

Hello everyone,

7.2.2013/2.7.2013.: some news: VAC is now enabled. and therfore, IW is most likey going to ban cheaters within few weeks. So pay attention while using hacks/trainers.

I will be making this thread to hopefully clear up some confusion or to clear up some arguments I've been having with some people about this topic.

There IS an anti-cheat system in Call of Duty: Ghosts. The question is, how strong/capable is it?

The following image shows a process being opened to check what kind of DLL's and/or modules were loaded into the game's process. (Thanks to master131)



Now we don't know what kind of DLL it's checking for, but we do know it's checking for something.

Second thing I wanted to touch upon was game recording by IW.

Some people think that if they don't have to feature (theater mode) their games aren't being recorded/snapshotted.

FALSE, I have no proof whether your games are or are not being recorded, by my personal opinion is your games are being screenshotted/recorded somehow by the game itself. Again, it is an opinion and NOT a fact.

I don't think IW would make a game where wallhackers and aimbotters can just go in and hack all they want without some way of stopping it. How do you think reporting a player works? When you report a player for cheating, there has to be a way for IW to check the person's game to see if they really were hacking or not.

To anyone who disagrees with this, please leave a comment on this thread and tell me why you disagree with some kind of proof/screenshot.

I hope this cleared up some shenanigans, thanks for reading (Thanks to MaroonishBlood for original post)
