This guy showed up not too long ago rocking a grape scout named KingCrime. I played a few games against him and immediately assessed him as a hacker based on the fact that he -never- missed and would 1v2 me and a clannie in CQC with the thing with inhuman accuracy.
About 2 weeks later and obviously much district hackusations later he decides to post a thread asking why people keep accusing him of hacking then posts a video of himself... blatantly hacking. The videos in question were set to private, but not before they were mirrored. Here

To be clear the jumpshooting is not what was haxxor about it. The scout is 100% accurate while you're in the air no matter what the crosshairs are doing, so if you stick a piece of paper on your monitor you can use it effectively close quarters. The issue is that his cursor snaps onto his targets and moves with them with 100% accuracy once he's locked on.

I went against him and his group a lot and got major shut down every time as well as some of the Sov guys in their streams. Nice to see things 'come to light'. However, I don't really know what I'm supposed to see other than abnormally smooth mouse movement.

Can those bots be customized to be subtle or something?

Yes they can set how close their cursor has to be in order to track someone and how fast it tracks on to them. I'm gonna download the video and slow it down tonight so people can see how silly the tracking is.

Most botters have the target lock button bound to the same button as Marksman mode to make it harder for any observers to see what theyre doing. If they also set the cone the hack is searching for targets in to be very small, its almost indistinguishable from actually aiming. That abnormally smooth mouse movement youre seeing is the hack locked on to the target and aiming for him.
You can see a big difference in the play style here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWYUQoIuHYg&feature=player_detailpage#t=149s

Notice how his cursor jerks around while he tries to compensate for the enemy trying to dodge fire.

My retail box (finally) came in today! I doubt anyone is interested and has already seen it before, and maybe even a video of somebody unboxing theirs, but I felt the need to share some pictures of mine. Plus somebody in TS asked me to. Click here for imgur album.

I thought the funniest thing about the box was that it came with an actual dvd case and manual with actual content, a whopping 30 pages worth of instructions as well as warnings against epilepsy.

With the box I got my 30 days of premium, 500 G1C, and a few items as well...

I was saying it's been a long time since I got haccused and then this happens: I run into this guy (ninety degree turn snap while auto-firing a joker and some other obvious stuff). This was the second mission we beat this guy.


How does that even work? Does he have a video in which he sees me see him through walls? :psyduck:

You can watch people ESP track you. I had a guy on waterfront below the freeway. The way it was set up, I could see him, but he couldn't see me. He started priming a grenade so I ran back and forth really fast and he tracked my movements exactly without being able to see me or even attempting to anticipate my movement for where I'd be after the grenade's travel time.


Here's the slowdown of the cheater. Basically just look at where the cursor is on their body as they move. You can track the mouse in that example down to the pixel following the player.

So you're saying there are people out there who use aimbots for grenades? But… why?
Anyway, that guy went through a lot - losing twice while your opposition is using only basic STARs does things to a man. I wish one of those guys, the ones with all that video proof of my "aimbots" and all that jazz would send me some of that proof, I'd really like to see how "blatant" I am.

Aren't you the max rank guy who dethreated to green on purpose? Most of the greens don't know what rank means but what they do know is you are green like they are and that you constantly catch them in bad positions and that your guns fire faster and are more accurately than theirs, sure its because you know the maps really well and have mods and experience but they're clueless and think they can play like its Quake. They know they are going to get hosed by some gold guy but someone on their level?

Cheaters, on average, are really bad and lack basic skills that normal players have. Like throwing grenades and driving cars and shooting a gun without cheating. This is why they cheat

Yeah, that would be me, but you're wrong about the rest. Most of the hackusations come from silvers. Greens and bronzes just accept the fact that they're facing someone who's better than they are.
That last guy? Not only was he silver, with a high enough rank to buy an OSMAW, he had a macroed Joker.

As for stomping noobs - let me just paraphrase what one G1 mod said to us (while he being carried by high golds that were stomping us and we couldn't get any backup) - This is a learning experience.

Wow, yea that's a much better way to show it than my video.

I hate how I randomly lose any ability to aim some days in this game and can hardly pull a 1:1 ratio in fight club. The spectrum is like babby to golden god of doom. Last week I had a night where I ended up like 2:9 in fight club on like my second one of the night and just turned the game off. Not last night, though... I'm on the home stretch for marksman 15 and clocked in 429 kills to marksman :black101:

SHAW got a big buff so it's the new OCA, Joker is still the best all-round gun if you can handle semi-automatic. The high level OCAs and of course the Colby shotgun are still very viable though.

CSG/OCA for close, Joker Carbine for close-mid, Obeya/HVR scout for mid-long are your best bets.

Those are the guns I consider to be the best, but everything is viable if it fits your playstyle.

The RSA is alright if you're using a gun with close quarters capabilities. I prefer the joker pistol as an all around gun as it is very good CQC and mid range. I've swapped off of my joker carbine to the pistol when I run out of ammo and killed OCA users to save my rear end which would not have happened if i had most other pistols on.
