Just generic report issue options. Nothing hacker specific allowing us to report a player. Not even on the website (the section that ought to be dedicated to it has 5 answers to unrelated questions and the option to submit new questions).

I have only once seen a hack in the game, or it was a bug.

I went to the boss (the big hellbug where you have to shoot at its armpits) at the end a major ark fall, which was completed in 20 seconds, where the top player had a damage score 1000x higher than anyone else.

Sadly you cannot rule out a bug, I mean when you go to a major scrapper ark-fall, the sub ark-falls are all completed within 10 seconds each, everyone just focus fires on the same crystal which dies in 2 seconds flat. You would sort of expect Trion to notice this and up the HP on those crystals a bit.

Keyboard + mouse are more versatile to use than a controller ... theoretically if options for that wouldn't have been forgotten.

While a hotkey MMO would simply not be possible with consoles at all, a shooter still favors WASD-mouse-look for speed and reflex.

Using a keyboard anyways makes chatting much easier helping with the social aspect of the game or rather making it possible in the first place ... if there would be an efficient and proper chat system of course.

With all the hackery going on with the PC (one shot kills), why are people enticed to play on such a system?

Because literally everything regarding PC gaming is superior to console gaming. Exploiters are in all games on all platforms. So are cheaters. On the PC you typically have more efficent methods of marginalizing both unlike consoles. You can't try to imply that the PC platform isn't worth gaming on by citing a terribly managed console port having cheating issues.

Plus you learn to multitask. Game, surf the web, watch movies. Been doing it for 18 years now. Especially with 3 monitors.

OH and to answer your question, 95% OF ALL ACCUSATIONS of hacking are simply some poor shmuck that got killed because he got outplayed.

Basically, if you die, someone cheated. You'll notice people only type words, they never, ever offer proof. Because there is none most of the time.

Not since the days of Quake my friend. Gaming on a PC is like going to Prison. It'll make a man out of you, you'll become a better gamer or you'll get ****ed *****.. Everyone else plays on a console.

I'm sorry..but that's the funniest thing i've ever read. lol

Well there have been a few hackers on the PS3 in Shadow Wars. One example is someone was using the Black Dodge Challenger in Shadow Wars, and basically getting around 20 kills per match without any deaths... Except when people on my side pulled out lots of lock-on missiles lol. Yet people call me a cheater for using a VOT bolter for short-long range combat...

Wrong. Pong was developed decades after what was the "1st video game".

U.S. Patent 2,455,992

Personally I prefer keyboard and mouse gaming over controller. In my case, it's been more social, better equipped to handle online gaming, and way cheaper and easier through digital distribution.

The new console I buy will have the latest dvd tech and game series that look interesting or are continuations of what I have played in the past.

Unless a VR system comes out roughly like the one from SAO and other books/manga/animes...then I will drop for that console. Otherwise, PC for me. Its just a personal preference.

Maybe something like the shooter game in that Gerard Butler movie. Crappy acting aside, the idea of it is pretty neat.
