Just to confirm what others have said, this game is rife with hackers.
Private hives or no you still get hackers spawning whatever they want, or spawning near you to kill you before they get found out and kicked. Considering how long it can take to get yourself just a hacket and/or a pistol and a couple cans food on your own. Essential to play with a group or you will get no where fast, most players shoot you on site, beware.
I can vouch for this too.. I run a UK dayz server we are banning on average around 20 people a day. People teleporting themselves or others. Giving themselves god mode or weapons, giving other players weapons, blowing towns up killing people blowing up peoples camps. Fortunately when it happens we are running a 15 minute delay and backup on our hive so we can restore people and vehicles to a fairly recent state some people lose stuff some people are unkilled because of it so swings and roundabouts.
Myself and a few of the admins have also made tools to monitor players on our server so we can usually react pretty quickly but it doesnt stop the frequency of the attacks. hopefully standalone is much much harder to cheat in..
I dont really get the hype , I personally think stalker was / is far more scary though I admit I'm basing it just on video footage.Quote:

I'm kind of glad in a way, good to see they haven't rushed it - can't wait to see what it's like!Quote:

There is an anticheat for it. Battleye.
People think it doesn't work because they see hacking going on, but it's not an instantaneous thing.
Battleye tends to ban in waves. It detects suspicious activity and then reports it to base where it's investigated. If it turns out to be a hack, it then retrospectively bans everyone who used it. This is why you do see some hacking and also why people are seen moaning after they get banned because they think they got away with their hack.
It's not perfect, partly because it's not that great. It's not that it's bad as such, just that it could be a lot better. As explained above, it's very slow and some hackers have bypassed it.
The vast majority of the hacking is done with stolen keys. People are given a link where they can 'buy' a helicopter by installing a hack. This hack actually steals their CD key and it's resold. When the same key is used at the same time, both users get banned, but the player who bought the key after it was stolen often hacks until they get caught.
