The Search for an Aimbot

I've decided to start another thread on the existence of working aimbots
for BF1942 and thought I would share my findings thus far. My aim for
this is to prove whether or not aimbots for BF1942 either exist or are
possible. I have no desire to use such a cheat.

I have searched and read all the posts I could find on aimbots from;

www.gamingforums.com, www.punksbusted.com, www.game-security.com

The hardest evidence I could find, given the posts are true, is that a
1942 aimbot was rumored to exists but it wasn't very good. None of the
posts I have read suggests that the author had definatly seen one.

Of course - forum posts such as these are of no more value than posts on
usenet.

As hard evidence goes I have found none so far. The most official
source on the subject I have found is probably this article from
www.counter-hack.net.

(http://www.counter-hack.net/content.php?page=bf1942)

"There are four types of hacks for Battlefield 1942 at the moment, and
all of them deadly: Accuracy, Speed, Fog, and Wall hack."

"The Accuracy hack almost doubles your accuracy, decreasing the distance
your bullet can stray from its target. This is not an aimbot, since it
does not move your crosshairs over the person, but it greatly increases
your chance of hitting them, especially at great distances. Snipers can
gain an upper hand and always hit their target, and close combat assault
players can unload a clip without worrying about the recoil killing
their accuracy. There is also no know way of detecting this cheat from a
player or administrator’s point of view. You cannot prove that someone’s
aim is too good, and you will have to leave it up to other obvious hacks
the player can use later."

However, also on the counter-hack website I found this interview with
another hacker (http://www.counter-hack.net/content.php?
page=interview_Vasily). This puts a bit more weight in the existence of
an aimbot:

"Basically, I was sure that "headshot script" exits, but there were no
information that you could use for prove that it really exits (you know,
all the old aimbots were just a piece of crap). Also I wanted to create
a full-featured client-side bot. So I started this project, I finished a
half, and recorded several demos. This got a huge reaction from the
community, at least 5 people said that they also did it (so I was right)
and two people released their own cheats ([name] was one of them).

[CH] How many people do have a copy of this cheat? Just you?

Just me. Also, I exchanged the aiming sources with one famous person,
but I'm sure he won't cheating and if he wants, he can easily create his
own cheats."

http://www.dc-central.com/ has an interesting article (http://www.dc-
central.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=129) where they
interview 5 bf1942 hackers and give their opinions on the state of BF
and of Punk Buster. However, nothing is mentioned regarding aimbots.
What may be of interest to some is they do say that a client side health
hack is impossible since this is controlled server side. You would have
to use a server hack for this one.

I did find a few sites where I could apparently download cheats from for
BF1942 but none offered an aimbot.

If anyone has more ideas about where to obtain one from please let me
know at ''.

Wrong group, perchance?

 

you'd at least think he'd have put an OT: or FOAK reference in the
subject.

 

Pip bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines
of:

You don't have to post about bikes to post here, do you?

I have *no* idea what the post is about

 

Stoneskin left a note on my windscreen which said:

Oh arse and fuckit. Wrong group.

 

Pip left a note on my windscreen which said:

<cough> Just passing through.

 

Champ left a note on my windscreen which said:

/futurama mode/

We now have games which are entirely on video. We call them 'video
games'.

I have *no* idea what this post is about.

Oh, is it funny?

 

he's attempting stylised sarcasm based on a paraphrase from a cartoon.

if it were, it would hardly have required a smiley, would it?

 

You are Simon Cowell AICMFF pairs of high waisted trousers.

 

Oh. How... interesting.

One wouldn't have thought so. It seems de rigeur, though, to add
smileys here there and everywhere (a trend to which I do not
subscribe, being (a) male, (b) not an adolescent, and (c) not fucking
stupid and dull). Do people think that it makes something otherwise
un-funny suddenly amusing?

 

I try not to use them, but sometimes I forget. Some people who really
ouught to know better[1], and who are capable of being funny use them
all the bloody time.

[1] and I'm specifically thinking of porl here.

 

I've never watched the program he was on, so that's rather lost on me,
I'm afraid.

 

You are Ace AICMFF posts claiming ignorance about popular culture and
zeitgeist

 

no, I know who Simon Cowell is, and I've seen him interviewed a few
times, but I've just never watched whichever of the crap real people
pretending to be famous shows he was on.

 

that was the original purpose, sure. But people now use them as a
"look at me, I've said something funny, you can LOL!!!!! now".

 

That's precisely my thinking. It's also good to add to stuff to make it that
little bit more patronising sometimes.

And I don't "use them all the bloody time". They're just part of a large
armoury available to us all for facilitating "conversation".

 

That's certainly how I use them.

 

None of these interviews touched on the subject of him being a harsh critic
or wearing high waisted pants?
