Speedy Wrote:bskll Wrote:i only completely ignore battlements when i am sure that it is clear and that other snipers are on their respawn timer.That's one of the things I make sure I keep track of first. However, during one of the most supicious moments, the RED snipers had not been recently sniped (probably due to having to take care of stuff in base/getting respawn killed) and could have been out on the battlements at any moment. However, you completely came out onto the battlements (as opposed to peeking) and disregarded the enemy battlements completely to look down at the front door to headshot a heavy near the waterfront. Had you just nailed a sniper prior and the heavy was just coming out the front door, I would have seen this as an acceptable risk-taking, but you seemed well aware of the heavy who was near the water's edge and didn't hesitate to lock on to him at all.Quote: if you had watched me longer, you'll see that most speedier classes coming out of front door i do not hit, ie medics, scouts, other snipers. I only hit the slower/non jumping players like heavies/soldiers. if i was wall hacking, shouldn't i be hitting all of them equally?Yes, this is true, but in the case that I saw, you flicked to adjust to the head practically the exact same millisecond the scout rounded the corner. When you took the shot, he had only partially exposed himself while running full tilt. This, to me, meant that you either knew he was there or you need to lay off the crack, because once you negate lag you basically nailed that scout as soon as the tip of his had appeared.
and about scouts running across battlements, i never walk out of hiding and hits a scout without moving my crosshair, i come out of hiding, try to aim, and almost always miss. i don't believe i've ever had a case where i've come out of battlements and hit a scout without so much as a mouse flick to adjust my crosshair.
Quote:about ignoring racket below me, the obvious answer would be that it is much easier to shoot at battlements than it is to shoot at your own front door. I only start shooting my own front door area when one of 2 things happen.Sorry, I should have clarified. I was referring to the point that you knew where the soldier was on your battlements without any prior interaction from him. There was fighting going on in your front door while you went to go resupply (while running backwards to face the battlements, strangely). When you returned, you immediately threw jarate at the center battlements wall and then rounded the corner to attack the soldier. That event was pretty much the kicker for me and what convinced me.
Again, I admit, it's extremely hard to tell when a good player wallhacks and all my evidence is completely circumstantial. But these small, extraordinary situations just seem like too large of a red flag to me. I'm sorry.
when you were speccing me, did you check also with scoreboard? I do believe in the case you describe, the snipers were not alive, hence why i aimed down to the front. i don't have to necessarily kill a sniper to know he/she is not on the battlements.
for that particular scout shot, was it case of him/her coming out of their spawn or coming into my battlements? i need that info first before i can answer you regarding the scout shot.
either that soldier had killed a friendly on battlements, rocket jumped, shot at me from other battlements, or i see him running down middle. I have never jarated a soldier on battlements that didn't give away his/her presence first by doing one of the above.
