    Why is it not possible to set a hard cap on rate of fire?

    So i understand all the hacks is possible because the server accept a lot of information from clientside, like rate of fire. How about making the server only accept rate of fire within a certain range?

    Its the worst hack that gets people instantly killed. Some players i bet are hacking carefully, only increasing rate of fire a bit more than normal so that people dont suspect them of hacking. That wouldnt be possible if there was a hard cap on rate of fire.

    But who knows, maybe its an innate flaw of the game that cant be fixed easily because Ubisoft didnt wanna use money on real server simulation.

    They can't talk about it, don't worry anti cheat is in place.

    because the files for rate of fire are held on the players computer not on the server where they should be held. to fix this all files pertaining to rate of fire, walk speed, player position and the list goes on, will need to be re written and put onto the server. this will not happen because it requires a complete overhaul of the coding already written and then extra money to have it stored on the server. what you see is what you get.

    Seems pretty simple, max fire rate = greatest RPM in game * greatest magazine mod ROF increase

    So that pretty much means anything over 1300 for SMG, 350ish for marksmen, and so forth.

    "Nah, too hard.... Let's allow it to be uncapped."

    You could also cap weapon range on a weapon class, let's say, like SMGs. This would stop people being able to use them like ARs.

    Sounds simple, very hard to implement. Ubi has done the multi player side of things on the cheap by placing most of the actual 'computing' on the client side. To switch that computing to the server side for all users would not only require a huge code change, but they would have to beef up their server hardware and bandwidth DRASTICALLY. This is NOT going to happen. Lets face the truth here, we are stuck with the mess we have. Either enjoy it for the mess it is or move on.

    So many children in here, or naive adults that don't understand what you can and cannot say.

    One thing is the aimbotting, the big head mode (big hitbox), unlimited ammo (?), teleporting and such. But rate of fire hack is the worst. You dont have a chance against hackers.

    It would be great if they could just not make it possible to hack rate of fire.

    Sorry Synergy, I know it sounds simple, and it would be if Ubi had placed that kind of code on the server side. However since it is on the client side, on your computer, they can change the client code all the want, hackers will just write over it like they did to start with. There is NO easy fix for the PC hacks. I just do not see it happening.
