I have been playing this game since the beginning without suspect of map hacking but the last month I started to feel cheated in my games, having the feeling that the enemy knew all the mines and my troops position in fog of war. I hope relic can fix that problem.
Had some similar situations myself.
When I watched replays I saw that crawlers gave some line of sight which showed me either placing mines, showed my units's positions and sometimes my mine placement was just so plain obvious even I could have figured it out.
Sometimes I have my doubts as well, but hey, human nature and actions are predictable, so perhaps they know something we don't

The most vital phrase to remember: 95% of the map hacks accusations are delusion.
+1
and for the rest 5% there is an OKW unit called infrared Halftrack

Please be aware of the following from the Site Rules
2.2 Cheating
Cheating is absolutely not allowed and anyone found to be cheating, publicly accusing others of cheating, or posting links to third party cheats, will be banned. Please report cheating directly to Relic via email: enforcement@relic.com. If you are not sure about whether or not you should post something on COH2.ORG, it's always best to PM a COH2.ORG Admin to ask first.

Maphacking can work one of two ways:
It can either inject itself into the game, modify code to turn off fog of war directly or indirectly. Easy to detect.
or
Since everything about each player's state is saved on each client computer in order to run the simulation on each client computer, it is possible to access that information in memory and then recreate it in some sort of custom GUI.
And yes, it is possible (and easy) to maphack while streaming.

I think the discussion is fine as long as it does not become a witch hunt.
Informing the community on the subject, I think, is fair.
Well and as long as people don't start blaming all their losses on map hackers. I think in my time playing coh2 (which has been quite a lot). I've only been convinced that two people have hacked. Although Relic has banned more than that in the past.
But yeah, it's extremely rare in coh2.

Maphacks are so annoying because they can be so hard to detect even when you are fighting against it.

I think alot of the problem is the inability to detect cheating programs for this game. I won' whine too much on relic this time. SC2 has the same problem. But I wonder if more integration with other anti-cheat systems that might be able to detect it wouldn't be for the best.

If Coh2 could integrate VAC it would help a lot... Especially considering there isn't a lot of money to be made constantly updating a coh2 map hack to continue to avoid detection.
but yeah, even Blizzard with Warden has trouble preventing it in SC 2... and Warden is very powerful.

9.5% of the time, it's just little mechanics with the game.
Theres so much things that gives you information:
-Engine sounds
-Fences breaking
-Checking for base shape on FoW (applying to WFA)
-Crawlers
-You can check if a house is occupied or not
-Muni spenditure. No nades/flamer/LMG on first minutes? Mine/Demos.
-Intel abilities
-Tactical map synergies with some abilities (and some bugs).
That 0.5% is what it may you doubt. And still, you might be wrong.
PD: : is there anybody checking enforcement@relic.com ? Has anyone got a response from them in the last year?

Do you believe atleast one of them is still cheating?
