I'm noticing weird things in general. Don't want to jump to any conclusions but is hacking an issue currently?

I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.

OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.

hacking i don't think is an issue though im sure a small minority if any do hack. (just reality pretty much no matter what game you play someone will find a way to cheat)

best philosophy on hacking, ignorance is bliss.

Failure is always an option.

It's a happy massacre?! (yes, yes it is!)

Hacking exists and there are people working hard to build these hacks. Every time after a game update you won't experience droppings (with instant loss), disconections when winning, and other problems. After - let's say - 2-3 weeks, this phenomenon appears again. Nothing unusual, huh?
While asking top players, they will allways answer "no" because at their level people who will use hacks are very, very few. But middling players will encounter this problem more often.

People seriously need a reality check here. You need to make your opponent lose connection to the Relic servers to get a win here. This is several orders of magnitude harder than the "drophack" of CoH1 where you just ctrl-alt-delled coh/pulled the ethernet cable out/whatever to kill your connection (which made it a dispute game and the dispute system was pretty amazingly broken).

It seems amazingly unlikely that there'd be a single person with the know-how and required tools (like a botnet for DDoS) playing this game who'd be so desperate for wins that he'd do this against random players.

QFT

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.
