Kaylee Wrote:one time as a demo I hit xctasy from behind with my bottle, and before I could even take a second swing (which is slightly over 1second) he unscoped, spun around, rescoped, and headshotted me for a kill. My jaw just about hit the floor. No bot can do that, and I can't even understand how a human could do that!
Not to accuse anyone of anything (because I'm not, right now) but what Kaylee is describing would be the results of full-auto with rotation limiting turned off. Poorly configured bots will force spins if the user doesn't limit the degree of rotation (configurable) and even with full auto off if they didn't limit it a trigger bot would still spin crazily (trigger bot is like auto, but only when the trigger is pulled so you don't just spin and shoot).
Most botters will be using conservative settings because their all about the smack on the ass (good shooting!) and only the occasional griefer/noob will actually aim using full-auto openly.
As a side note, ever time an update comes out that touches the VAC2 files (read: hash check) commercial aim programs will automatically disable while the author(s) check for detection.
Watch and see if you notice any players that become unavailable or unable to play at their usual level shortly after an update. It's interesting.
