microphone hack?

[dye7]

i was playing a game of headquarters a little bit ago and for some reason we could all hear the enemy team talking. i had been talking to these guys in the lobby and they were obviously 10/70 hackers, and then we got into the game (with all of the hackers on the opposite team) and they just screamed into their mic and told me to go check out their sick no scope montages on youtube..

we could even see their mic signals lighting up when we brought up the score board, and i eventually just muted the whole enemy team.

i'm not sure if this is just a glitch or if they were running a jtag but it was pretty strange...has anyone else come upon this?

I have heard of lobbies/games like that where you can hear the enemy team, but haven't experienced it for myself.

yeah its a JTAG hack

Yea i was put into one of these lobbies also. The best thing to do is just mute them.

i have been on ps3 before and was able to hear the opposite team maybe two times and one time the guy was telling the other guy about his most recent BM it was pretty awesome

Yes, it is the verifiable sign of a player that's using a hack. I first ran into this in a game of domination where we could hear 2 players on the enemy team, but they couldn't hear us. 5 minutes later the guy called his nuke from a care package (top player didn't have more than 20 kills). I also heard one of them say they just left a modded lobby, so more than likely the hack was transferred to them from a JTAG user. But, when you can hear the enemy team, there's a cheater among you for sure.

It was that perk from CoD4! Whatever it was... uhh.. someone help me here.

I've had it happen twice but didn't notice anything fishy going on. Was on afghan and my headset does this annoying squeal probably 2 minutes in, stops, then I can hear the whole team talk.

Second was on underpass. Heard guys talking, checked the leaderboard thingy and noticed it was the other team. Hear one of 'em say "this BlakeW5 guy is getting on my nerves" as I somehow repeatedly ran into him and killed him lol. Once again never noticed anything else weird going on.

I just chalked it up to one of those random things that happens sometimes.


^I think the perk was eavesdrop (red perk if I remember). Honestly I can almost see how the perk would be useful in this game what with the large numbers of mics.
