I have noticed a huge problem with plants vs zombies garden warfare 2 for PC. There are many players abusing glitches. In garden battles. People shooting through walls and what not. I am sure a lot of people have noticed this. There has to be a way to prevent it or remove people who abuse the glitches. I personally think if people have to use glitches to make progress in a game, if they are caught they should have their plant vs zombies garden warfare 2 reset to the basic stickers. I think it might be a bit harsh but if they want to abuse things they should lose them. I have been in several garden battles where people either hide behind things and are able to shoot around them or through them. Another example is on the last part of the moon base assault. People have glitched themselves just under the floor where they can not be hit by anything and yet they can shoot out of it??? How is the battle field balanced when these things are a constant thing. I am sure as more and more people learn to use and abuse these glitches more and more people are not only complain but quit the game as well. I personally find it really frustrating when I am doing all i can to fight as hard as I can and then here comes along a glitch abusing player who not only kills me over and over but makes me really angry cause they are outside of bounds. I think there should be a timeout timer for any player stepping outside of bounds. I think that should fix the floor glitches as for the wall glitches and people shooting through them idk how to fix it but I think i know the problem is where the characters shoot on their toon. For example if i use a character with a larger gun i can shoot through walls. I think the shot should come from the player and out the gun so this would solve shooting through walls. I hope this post doesnt fall on deaf ears like most  forum posts

    huge wall of txt summerized

    - reset all accounts that (ab)use glitches

    - add off map kill zones

    the thing in shooting games is that the guns don't matter a lot of games have the bullets coded to just left of the model or they come from their body/face

    Take video, report them in game.  If you have gamer tags or even better video, report cheaters directly to /u/mrlingbot on the GW2 reddit with specifics like time, server location, etc..

    Cheaters sometimes abound on PC I'm afraid to say, but that's mostly people hacking the game, which may account for your first complaint (someone having hacked to shoot through walls).  The particular glitches you mentioned (if I've guessed correctly the location where you were being shot through walls) have been already directly reported since they are being actively exploited, and I've been assured that EA are aware of it.

    @pandareno thank you for the info. I will send a video of the moon base z under map glitch later on. Glitches can be fun in a private game. When you take it to multiplayer though, there should definitely be repercussions.

    The moon base under the map glitch has been know about for a long time, I think if they were going to fix it they'd have done it by now.  I've been told that they are aware of the newer SOT issue you reported and the glitch that people are using in the end game of GWN.  Honestly, I have no idea how seriously they take these, whether they have the time to work on them or just hope that players stop exploiting them.

  • I'm a huge fan of shooting behind cover. It's very tactical. If the bullet comes from the barrel of the gun and the gun can be placed passed the wall, I call that fair game.

    But hacking to shoot through absolute solid walls while you're entirely behind it? Or even UNDER it?! That's just not right. I used to play Team Fortress 2 competitively, and when an Engineer stuck a sentry behind a wall that you couldn't touch in Goldrush, it did nothing but cause a whole lot of crying and diminish the population of the server.

    Hopefully EA can figure this out in the next installment.

    I miss Tf2. After I used a strangifier on my PDA then applied my only non-named Professional Killstreak to it, I quit when I realized it wasn't going to give me killstreaks for my PDA stats. =/ I was really let down because of users remorse. I should've just used the strangifier and streaker on my Eureka Effect. -.- There's still no Eureka Effect strangifier and I couldn't get ahold of another non-named strangifier.

    Tf2 Taught me how to play my FPS & 3rdPPS's like a champ. Medic taught me to play like a scared deer. And the Engineer taught me that camping was okay because it solved practical problems. And the Heavy taught me that, even if you're the fattest character in the game, you can be the healthiest and most annoying... simply by shooting from the side of a wall :3

    Good to see another Tf2 player out there. Highfives man.  +xp
