@IotaGamma:

Yup, that game is like 2,5 years old, gameguard hackshield running on it since day one,
and hackers are still there. That's why PunkBuster > all.

As V2 said, Im not sure SDE has numbers. HS wont let you start the game if you
have "Cheat" programs/processes ect... running on your computer

Combat Arms is a popluar game and they use Hack shield but that doesn't stop
them from hacking it because the firewall they use is closest to nothing.

Ha! If what Emma says is true, then I know why after 6 months of break from the game I
come back and keep freezing for 5-15 seconds about 10 times a game. Yay, thanks for
ruining it for me, SDE. No more money for you as I am going to quit :P (can't play the way
it is now and I bet you will not disable the NProtect GameGuard.)

@V2CxBongRipz

Sometimes I have only an mp3 player in the background and regular processes running
(except for punkbuster for bad company 2 process which is always active) and it may take
me about 10 attempts to start up the game. This hackshield is aaaaaaaawesoooome! :)

NF wont even start up if you have hacks/cheats running. I am under the impression it will
just end the process if you start one after you start NF. Remember what used to happen
when some people alt+tabbed?

"Also if people used their two brain cells, they could look around and see that many
popular games like MapleStory, Mabinogi, and others use HackShield."

What does this have to do with releasing information about a game we play? I swear, if
these forum mods used their brain cells...

Hack shield Lags to hell,, but still helps that every one is close to eaqal

Hope so

In Soviet Russia, Shield hacks YOU!

Do you ACTUALY believe that HS is keeping people from doing that blood?

If you do, you're more deluded than I could've believed possible.

I've taken all of 2 computer programming courses in my life, and if I wanted to I'd be
around HS in about 5 minutes, if that. HS does nothing but lower your computers
defenses, and chew up your clockcycles doing SFA.

Shall I start listing games that do not use HS and have few to no hackers in them? Or
shall I post up proof of massive amounts of hackers that infest all the games you
claim are hacker free because of HS?

I'll say this to you: there is NO program in existence that can keep people from
hacking games. There are a few that can slow hackers down, but your not stopping
them. In the case of navyFAIL, you don't need to hack it, just exploit the crappy
coding used to make it.

To be honest (and selfish), I would rather people cheat and be able to see the
whole map, than lagging myself to death in every other battle. The lesser of two
evils.

Even with cheaters around, at least I could play. Now, I'm mostly reduced to trying
to get myself some attack to gain exp (aka leeching) in the 5 seconds my screen
actually moves, before staring at a stationary picture for the next 30 seconds,
hoping that when it starts moving again, I haven't been sunk yet.

Hardly had any problems with lag before the HS patch (except when I'm
downloading porn). But luckily communism is alive and well, and I can still make do.
