Welcome to pubg, at least you didn't run yourself over.

My most embarrassing PUBG death (and I have a lot of them) was getting run over by the boat I had just beached.

Really, at this point they should just use the Titanfall system of dealing with Aimbotters.

Do you get banned? Nope.

You just get put into a matchmaking queue with other aimbotters so you end up with "something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests."

Simple, Elegant and also hilarious.

as much as i hate the aimbotters as the next guy, i'm not sure its a priority at this point for the developers. They are probably more concerned with making a functional, optimized game and can circle back later to deal with the cheats.

Lets just hope this strategy doesn't run off many people.

The downside to this sort of system is that false positives become harder to detect. If someone is incorrectly flagged as a cheater and banned, they know exactly what's happened immediately and can appeal. If that same person instead gets sent to the cheater dimension they might not be aware and might just think the game is overrun with cheaters.

Basically any kind of "shadowban" system has the same problem.

I like taking damage when jumping out of a moving vehicle. Its just funny to me when people forget its not battlefield and they jump out and die. They really should lower the damage that a slow moving vehicle does, its like you get your foot run over and you instantly die.

How much of that shooting was at an indoor range? The difference between noise at an indoor range and an outdoor range is pretty substantial - the vast majority of my shooting, for instance, is 12GA and it doesn't bother me at all. However I once was shooting at an indoor range and a dude brought his 12GA in to pattern it, I had to leave it was so drat loud.

Qual'd M4 a couple times at indoor ranges, but most of my experience firing indoors comes from firing from inside buildings.

Have you considered aiming down sights? You have a holo on Mini 14 and a RDS on your pistol, why don't you use them?

He came around the corner throwing what I thought were grenades and I didn't want to stand on one trying to ADS so I rushed him. After that I have no excuse except I didn't want to stand still and aim.

I finally won a round after probably 100 tries. I'm so god drat excited I have to tell a bunch of people who aren't impressed by the accomplishment!

I won the only way a man of my skills can win - getting really lucky with loot early, and then having about 4 straight circles land right on me. So basically, bathroom camper sure, but with something like level 2 armor, 3 first aids, 3 boosts, and a kitted M416, as long as the circle kept hitting me I really didn't have a reason to move. Finally had to move with 7 people left, and somehow someway, absolutely no one saw me run across the field and into a bush, and literally the first bullet I fired the entire match was when I had the final circle and the other guy didn't so I was able to finish him off. 1 kill, 1 win.

My guess is the intent is more to thumb their nose at the devs than actually fool anyone into thinking they have some absurd record, calling themselves hacker only helps with that.

We've already discussed this and it's literally an advertisement for cheats. WG is short for "selling cheats" and qun is a URL shortening thing, similar to something like bitly or tinyurl. They specifically target the NA Solo leaderboards since anyone who wants to look at their own stats has to see NA Solo, as it's the first one that pops up. If you re-ordered the regions alphabetically, they'd be less inclined to cheat on NA and hopefully stay more on AS.

how is shroud not banned when he blatantly uses some form of aim assist? i'm surprised he lets these get uploaded to youtube, there are other much worse examples where he snaps to unseen enemies or his gun freaks out head snapping between two opponents. my favourite one was where he downed a guy in a doorway, and then went to shoot another guy in the distance, but instead instantly snapped down at the downed guy.

Shroud is literally a robot. Top 10 aimers in CSGO ever, and you could justify top 5 maybe if you tried really hard. And now he's playing PUBG 24/7. He's not cheating. He's just not a normal person.

I just find it really hard to believe - no matter how good you are - that a human being can respond that fast and be so reflexive. the connection between seeing and reacting is miniscule and just screams assistance.

the only two streamers who I know without a doubt don't cheat are summit1g and maciejay, they can be lightning quick, but their reactions are always natural looking.

A lot of the stuff shroud and co do looks impossible to me, like sometimes he strafes out into an area with the reticle over someone's head he did not seem to have any cue was there, or snapping to a new target/announcing a kill before they even hit the ground or appear in the kill feed (I get that after killing a bunch of people you will know how many shots it takes from any weapon but how can you know what helmet/vest they have perfectly and add that poo poo up in your head on the fly?).

But I just assume it's because he's a dude who was already one of the best in the world at speed clicking on heads repeatedly and now it's literally his full time job, and also I am very bad.
