"Cheat Detected" after randomly placed in hacked IWNet serve
Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:14 pm
So, I load MW2 tonight and attempt to join a game of Ground Wars. IWNet places me into a server that is currently on the map Rust. Of course it is a hacked server that has made its way into IWNet for everyone and anyone to randomly join, Rust would never be in the normal Ground Wars map rotation. The score was like 50000 to 200. I stepped forward and knifed someone in front of me and it awarded me millions of XP and I was instantly promoted to level 70 (I was already in 3rd prestige). About 5 seconds later I am kicked from the game with the message "Cheat Detected."
Now, I think most people here are aware of the fact that hacked servers with no-score limits have been around for months. But I never got into one and was promoted to level 70 just like that, nor have I been booted with said message.
So I queue up for a game of HQ Pro and the game goes fine. After that, I back out and attempt to join another Ground Wars - this time I get in a game and it's on Derail. The match starts and I'm running across the map. Before one kill goes out, I'm kicked from the game with the message "Cheat Detected."
So I've done a few more games since then and played OK, but now I'm always wondering if I will be kicked (or banned). It only started tonight after the one occurrence in the hacked lobby, under the current game version 175.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I really at risk for being VAC banned because IWNet placed me into a hacked server?
