KaiLan,

Many players suggested I get a demo to support my claim that he has been hacking, and I know no other way to get a supporting demo without spectating. Do you have any other suggestions for getting proof, or should I just ignore players who appear to be cheating?


If Chronvict votekicked me because he was truly concerned about game balance, then he would not be one of the more notorious team stackers. I had been playing for a long time in this match before spectating, and I would guess it amounts to about 0.01 percent of my time on the server - I am not a slouch who takes up spectator spots. So I still believe he votekicked me because he was more concerned about concealing his hacking than game balance.

As far as the evidence of hacking, I see him tracking players through walls at 0:23 and 0:27. I'm sorry I inadvertently hit the console button at that time, but don't you see him tracking the medic through the wall as he runs into the sink room? He's clearly not just spamming.

There's also no explanation for the hvy from the secondary spawn. With max volume, you can't hear the heavy rev up before Chronvict starts waiting. Keep in mind he was also being shot at by an engineer in the sink room at the same time, but he ignored the engineer and waited instead for the as-yet-to-be-seen-or-heard hvy. How did he know to wait for the heavy? When do you hear him rev up?

I also think the two very different approaches he takes when he leaves the sewers at 0:54 and 1:18 are telling. In the first, he has aimed at the medic before he reaches the top, and goes for a perfectly aimed headshot before he has a chance to even look out the doorway. At 1:18, when the wallhack shows the sink room empty, he does not approach with the same care, and lobs a half-hearted attempt to conceal his earlier hacking. (Keep iin mind that
B4nksy had already pointed out that I inadvertently typed "record chronvict" into the chat instead of my console, so Chronvict was aware that I was spectating him, and I think at 1;00 and onward he tries to conceal his hacking with a few errant shots and dumb moves).


Also, I don't think it's just a coincidence that he storms into the enemy hay room later in the demo without much concern for enemies around corners. It seems reckless without a wallhack, inconsistent with the style of play for someone who constantly checks their k/d ratio and often goes 20:1 in games as a sniper.

I just want to end by noting that I am not mad that players are better than me -- too many *are* better than my mediocre ass for me to complain about that. If you sense any anger in my posts or actions, I assure you it is because I feel betrayed by a player that I once respected -- a player I followed into DesA, but whom, ultimately caused me to withdraw from the clan because I didn't want to be associated with this kind of cheating. (To be clear, I am not accusing the clan or any of its players of condoning cheating, as I am still friendly with many of their members.)


Anyone who has played w me will vouch that I'm a team player who just tries my best to compete and have fun. Wallhacking, or cheating of any kind ruins the fun, and I'm doing my best to discourage it. Please don't confuse this with jealousy.
