It is possible to cheat on version 1.10 if the server admin didn't disable the cheats in his/her config. However, I went into my server(where I know cheats are disabled), and found someone exploiting a glitch in the map that allowed him/her to walk underneath the map and kill people unscathed and unseen. While this is not a cheat for the most part, it is a crappy thing to do. If you see this kind of "cheat" occuring, take screenshots from spectator mode, and contact the admin of the server. If the server has a good admin, he/she will take care of the situation to the best of their ability.

I was on a server about 10 days ago, I remember the server name but wont post it here cause I'm not 100% sure they were cheating. I noticed the guy hosting was getting alot of pistol whipping kills on other players. Then out of nowhere I got pistol whipped by him, I normally listen and turn around alot in MOH to make sure no one is following me and never heard anything. So I figured I must have walked past this guy and he was in some bushes or something then jumped out and pistol whipped me. It was the French village map with bushes everywhere. Then the same guy shotguns me, I never saw anything, so I went into the lower room with the kegs and stuff in it and backed into a corner to watch, then sure enough I get pistol whipped again, never saw the guy coming. I asked them if the server was hacked and of course they said no, but other players on the server were seeing (or not seeing) the same thing and after calling them a bunch of cheaters everyone but the 2 in the clan guys left the server.

I firmly believe these guys were invisible somehow..

Hi all! Just wanted to add a few things I've been seeing lately, I had this one guy who was owning everyone that night, and there was a time when I threw a grenade at him (unknowing) and it landed right at his feet, blew up and he turned and killed me instantly, now how is that possible?? I've also seen guys take a full clip from my smg in the chest and face(point blank), and still just sit there and pistol whip the crap out of me, that time i confronted the guy and he told me it was his first night playing the MP side of the game, that just has to be a cheat.

Quazi... I've seen this myself only 2 days ago on a server in the UK.

The two players you saw motionless don't have a gun (nor did mine), which would imediately point this to a bug in the code (good Lord, not another one).

I was confused, 'cos I couldn't kill them (in fact they had no kill-boxes which, yet again, points this to a bug rather than a cheat).

They were both at the spawn point of the bridge, so I thought initially it was some kind of weird lag.

Then I realised that the last 2 allies left were still playing. They both died, eventually and the round restarted.

I'd not call it cheating simply because they both still died.

It could be a client-side bug that shows players in spec mode, even while playing, and to you alone they are invisible.

Indeed, I've followed a player in spec mode who was invisible to me and I had force-models on. He couldn't have been cheating though because everyone else could see him and he died frequently.

I just restarted the game and the bug had gone.

I don't think this is a cheat. I think it's another bug.

I don't remember this ever happening in the demo, so I could only think it's a final version bug, or perhaps even a bug unique to v1.10.

I'd suggest, if this happens again, that you try restarting the game.

I'm sure that would clear it.

2015, are you reading this?

its not a bug man, that person probably had a custom skin and if you dont have it and have force models on, then the game doesnt have anything to force, so you just dont see anything. this has been known since the game came out. now, im not saying this person wasnt exploiting this, he couldve put a custom skin in his game just for this very reason I dont know.

I used to have force models checked, but I unchecked it for this very reason<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You've got it backwards, Captain.
Force models makes every other player show up as the SAME MODEL YOU ARE USING, thus eliminating skins that you don't have.
(also gives a little performance boost cause your comp only needs to load 2 models)

P.S.

How do you get it to say "Originally posted by: " ?

yep, ive been killed by "invisablepeople" on the bridge... bloody frustrating,
other bug ive noticed is spawning with an invisable weapon.... still fires but its very quiet.... strange goings on, anyone explain this???

I was getting killed regularly during a game while standing on that same balcony. After dying twice i seen where the dude was and blasted em.

If you look straight out from the balcony across the courtyard to where the player spawn point is....the building to the right its possible to get up on the roof. Since the roof is slanted you'll only see a little bit of the dudes head sticking up when looking from the point you were shot at.

After shooting this guy i went into spectate mode figuring he'd try to get back up there and i'd see how to do it. He went into the second floor of the building, out on the little balcony, he then jumped up on the railing..You'll notice theres a telephone wire coming from a pole in the courtyard to that roof thats very close to the balcony. He was trying to jump off the balcony on to the wire. Once on the wire walk along it to the roof.
Hope i explained that alright. anyhoo just look for the pole and wire.
The dude never did make it to the wire.
I watched him try it about 3 times. After this i went on a server running the same map with noone on the server and tried many times to do it, no luck.
That could explain you getting shot with no one around.

you guys do have force models unchecked right? if you have it checked and someone is using a custom skin you dont have loaded, they will be invisible to you.

As I said in my post, I had force models on.

It's a weird bug I think. Not 100% sure though.

To continue the thread of the invisible people
I was amazed to be killed several times by the nade that appears from nowhere !!! uoi just see it appear at shoulder height and then come at you lol ... Also revenge is sweet and best served cold... Playing Axis on Omaha I was at the door leading on to the beach and it opens and the nade comes in .. ok a nice trick is to open and thrown then scoot.. so I went back ... the door opens again and same senario this time I just fired at the open door with nobody in sight and got my kill I would have thought it was just a bit of bad code but the guy who was there with me was on RW and we both said the same thing how did we kill the invisibleman ? so now we just fire at the doorway at nobody and the invisibleman dies more times than we did .. it stopped very soon after that.. also on the beach it was funny to watch medic packs go as soon as you shoot 1 guy as if somebody was grabbing them ...Strange world we live in ..

(...)
Force models makes every other player show up as the SAME MODEL YOU ARE USING, thus eliminating skins that you don't have.

---------------------------------------------

If I understand well...

WITH "FORCE MODEL" : I see only the two skins I have selected (only 1 axis skin and 1 allies skin).

WITHOUT "FORCE MODEL" : The game is normal, each player has his own skin...

BUT
...
If a player uses a custom skin I don't have, and if I'm playing WITHOUT "FORCE MODEL", what will I see ???
