3 days agoI can only hope this affects TF2 as well. I used to play competitively and the line between cheater and god-tier is so blurry sometimes, especially with how hard it is to spectate now. The one and only time I was certain someone was cheating was when I tried to rocket jump around a corner and got killed by a prefired airshot from a direct hit, aka they couldn’t even see me when they fired and still hit me 50 feet in the air the same instant I came around the corner.
And of course their team wouldn’t kick em because people still think it’s impossible to cheat with projectiles :(
Oh, getting kicked even when you’re not cheating has definitely happened, it’s even happened to me. But that cheater was suspicious even before that shot, that one is just the one that sealed the deal for me. Using the direct hit is also part of the evidence! Projectile cheaters like using it because the rockets move faster so the cheat engine is more accurate against people who can airstrafe. also it was citadel (a new map, the good prefire airshot spots are far from clear) and they would have had to be randomly firing rockets up at the sky for no reason. I get owned plenty often, this was not that.
I was never at the top of the comp scene, but I’ve spent my fair share of time playing pugs against the best of the best and not even soooapymeister hits shots like that person was.
