Today's day and age offer many gaming capabilities. Unfortunately, there are those whom would prefer to cheat and download their capabilities versus learning the true skill of the game that was meant in the original design of the programming.

For those that play there is nothing worse than have some guy be invincible while you try to advance. There are the wall hacks, the invisibility, the speeders (overclockers), that magical bullet that seems to find you out of of nowhere, the no fog, no darkness, etc while you are dealing with the true program aspects and trying to advance your skills. Be aware; however, that many times you may "get hit" .. "be medded" and then you find yourself "in the hole". The pyramid is a prime example of this. It is not actually a cheat but can be rather akward to "hold zone" in such games or just stay alive without getting killed. Most good gamers will merely use the ~ key located next to the left of the #1 key and then type "resetgames". This will reset the game for you and you will be out of the hole without the opportunity to "cheat". Once again ~ (accesses the command line) and then type .... resetgames That is the key to get "out of the hole" and back into the game.

In conversation with the tech support @ novalogic.com we are acknowleded in the fore-mentioned fact and in order to combat such complications many facets are being deployed. As for us gamers, per se .. the best avenue of approach is to take a snapshot via the F9 key. Preferably the cheat in question should be on your same team so that the name of the individual is included with the picture. The caption should enclude the cheat 'in action' and only a few are neccessary. Enough people will certainly be doing the same as you and from there it will be inevitable that the novalogic team will deactivate their code for access into the stat based DeltaForce games. (Granted they could probably purchase a new cd and regain access that route once again. This however is costly and certainly 'mama' won't be too pleased).

Once such instance I'm aware of is that the Alt & F4 key is stated to give you an enhanced cheat. heh I wouldn't recommend listening to that advice unless you like to reload your novalogic game. At the very least you will have to reboot your computer and re-enter the game. Another area quite irritating is the typewritten communications. Vulgarity does abound, no doubt .. but also hackers can take your name and act as if it is you that is speaking. Something just to be aware of.

The photograph can be located on your hard disk within the Novalogic directory. Locate the picture with the .pcx extension and any picture viewer should open it. The Microsoft Photo Editor works excellent and even the standard Paint will open the picture for viewing. If you save the picture as a .jpg you will find that the picture can be cut down in bytes and will send quicker via the email.

The novalogic team support can be contacted via support@novalogic.com and place Attn:cheat division such that the appropriate routing will take place. This will expedite the process involved for the novalogic team to handle as appropriate. In the last conversation I had, the team mentioned that it takes approximately a week for the evaluation and banning to occur. The purpose the cheat cheats is simply that they are not good players or have not acquired the skills yet as to be called 'good'. Their stats are simply eroneous and eventually discarded.

The Technical Support Line is (818) 878-0325. The hours are Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time, excluding holidays. Here you may speak to someone directly on the novalogic technical support staff. Be prepared to explain the exact nature of any problems you are experiencing. For example, write down the exact wording of any on-screen messages you may be receiving.

Don't listen to much of the propoganda that you hear on the web that nova doesn't care or can't do anything. 'laugh' They certainly can !! ... and will !!

Good Luck in your quests and happy gaming.
