That's pretty disgusting. That's actually three seperate cheats running there. The aimbot moves your crosshair to the colored target (yellow in this case). This isn't possible in MOH, but the other two are. Chamelion skins show one color through all the walls, and switch colors when someone is line-of-sight visible to you (so you don't keep shooting at walls). The ESP cheat is all the floating colored text above every game entity. This shows type and distance to each object (teammates, ammo boxes, health packs, etc.
There are really only two semi-practical ways to prevent this, neither of them are good solutions. One is a pair of client/server files that comunicate with each other. The client program scans their game folders looking for things that shouldn't be there and informs the server to kick them. The biggest problem with that is that the client must download/install/ and use that program before joining the server. Very few players would ever do that. Most visitors play for a while to see if they like the server before they'll even download the LP Client Fix, and that does nothing but BENEFIT the player. The other problem is that the client must have EXACTLY the same files as the server. Anything not matching is assumed a cheat. So a custom crosshair, sound or hud mod, custom map from another server, etc. will all prevent you from joining the game.
The other possibility is forcing screenshots of suspected cheaters and requiring them to E-Mail them to me. Again, not a good solution, because no action would be taken until several hours later when I got a chance to look at the pictures and approve/disapprove the player. Of course, no cheater would actually send the picture, but most innocent players haven't got the slightest idea how to find the screenshot and send it. So not receiving the screenshot is inconclusive. There are also ways around it for the dedicated cheater, including automatically turning off the cheat when screenshots are triggered, and altering the picture before sending it.
==================================================================
I am a firm believer that cheating is not just a momentary lapse in jugement. Cheating is a character flaw that shows up throughout all of life. I'd bet that someone who cheats in a game, also cheats his way through life, selfishly taking any possible advantage other those around him. Of course, selfishness never leads to happiness. Being of service to others is the only thing that brings real happiness. So while you might be mad for an hour about a game cheater, he has doomed his entire lifespan to a fruitless search for something he'll never find. You got the better end of the bargain.

Glad to hear you feel so strongly about something like this. What game is that on the video? |

Lol sorry i just have to laugh at rookie.... your to funny... but i just wanted to put my 2 cents in and agree with lam... I know that when i first stared to play on this server, you all spec me out and thought i was cheating for the longest time. I dispise cheaters, and agree with lam 100% that if they cheat on games they cheat out in the real world that we live in. Kind of scary if you sit back and think about it. I have played battlefield 2 and have seen a couple people use that hack. Was wondering if it would filter down to MOH, thanks for the heads up on the cheats lam.
