Yeah I watched the demo of it and was convinced this guy was hacking. If you watch the red dot, and then where the person was that he shot, there was way too quick of a motion. Almost like the dot would be on one side of the battlements and then instantly he'd kill someone on the other side. Also he never moved. Other snipers and players, even mediocre ones, would have picked up on the fact of where he was. But because he would head-shot people instantly they never had a chance to react. The reason he didn't have to move was because he was hacking. Pure and simple. Good to very Good snipers realize they have to move around or people will nail them.
Elvis is right though when he brings up spectate mode would be even more convincing. But considering this server unfortunately did away with it, its not possible.
On another note there were a couple of hackers and buggers on this weekend. There was a demoman "Freezer" that was blowing up stickies and killing people when he himself was no where near the action. I think 34k was there for a little bit of it. One time he detonated stickies on the long stairs leading down to the intel room. When he detonated them he was in the intel room. Another time I remember him being near the respawn door when he detonated stickies on the floor right beneath him.
Last night I can't remember the exactly name of the person playing as an engineer but it was like Mozac4256 or something like that. Anyway he used this bug that allowed him to go through the wall and get in behind one of the fences in the courtyard where he then put his sentry gun there. There was no way to kill it. I tried doing a recording of it like 34k id with the sniper but it didn't work.
There are people hacking and bugging on the servers. Obviously when you put in the title "NO MODS", there is an open invite for people who do hack to go there. I'm starting to get ticked off honestly. I like the people on the server who I know are legit and playing the game for fun. But then there are people there who are basically invited to come in and cheat. Sneaky Snake the Snake was probably the best player on that server (24/7 2fort, not the instant respawn) and he left because he was tired of the cheating. I may follow in his footsteps soon enough.
