First off, I'm using one of my alt accounts so as to avoid all the in game abuse and forum trolling, so too bad for anyone ready with the reflex one liners!

So I have been playing a ton of MWO since those great Christmas enticements, I've been playing for many years and I'm pretty impressed with the new mechs, the quirks, the maps, escort, etc... all of it has been great. I've got a dandy stable of IS and Clan mechs and I enjoy dropping for both sides. While I can see a slant towards Clan in community warfare I'm not seeing it as a problem in QP matches at all. And even in CW matches the slant toward Clan isn't terrible at all, but it is there and I can see how PGI is continually trying to find the magic formula to get the balance right. Last note about this, the slant is mostly prevalent in the invasion gun mode. In all the others; skirmish, assault, etc... it just enough to make it spicy and fun.

Now on the battle field I have spotted dropmates using cheats about two dozen times in the last month. Even though I am always there as a guest I will still ask them about it, and among dropmates the silence is deafening and quickly followed by a switch to TS and then a united front. Or in some cases, a nudge and a wink comment and some joking around.

But when someone on the other side notices that they have been cored with one shot at 1300mtrs and has the nerve to say anything or ask what's going on the teams with cheaters on them invariably ATTACK THE COMMENTOR BRUTALLY AND REFLEXIVELY in chat mocking them with all the usual 'git gud' nonsense but also quickly run up the passive aggressive 'oh yeah I'm haxing' in an effort to make the others look stupid and head off comments. Yet when that happens on a clean drop group there isn't any of the flashback at the guy, instead good clean shooters take it as a compliment, and keep playing without trolling the guy. I'm amazed by this, it's such a consistent response difference between the clean and not so clean companies and drop groups.

PGI, I love you guys, I love the game, please do what you can to root the cheating out of CW this year, please! nevermind the impact it has on the games (big) pay attention to the way it's becoming a cancer in the community and see how it threatens the very fibre of growing faction warfare.

Thanks for listening.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. You're probably just bad and can't believe that it's possible to "follow a running targets CT seamlessly" without cheats. Believe it or not, that is a skill you can acquire with proper mouse settings and extensive practice.

I'm up to 14,000 matches played by now and not even a single once have I ever seen indisputable evidence of somebody cheating in any of my matches, yet here you come along claiming to have seen it ~24 times in the past ~30 days. And also you're afraid to reveal who you are, probably because you have more credibility in anonymity than you actually do as your true identity.

Record all of your matches all of the time. When you catch something that you think is cheating, upload it to Youtube. And keep doing it.

Oh, and btw, you have no excuse that your PC can't handle it. I play the game on a 5-year old Thinkpad laptop with an i5 3360m and Nvidia 5400m. If I can record MWO with OBS on this potato and play competitively at 30fps, then so can you, so go do it.

And I guarantee we won't be seeing recordings from you, because even you know you're full of [Redacted].

Been playing this game since 2014. Seen one person who was definitely aimbotting. One person. And I killed him. In a Kit Fox.

[Anjian]

I remember tweeting to ask Russ if he is using anti cheat software, which there is in the market for online games that are installed server side, he said he is using one, though not the brand that was in my question.

[Kaspirikay]

i didnt read the op but i've seen one person hack in my entire time playing this game since open beta. i still have the vid but yeah, its not rampant.

[Skipmagnet]

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, ie vids or gtfo. I record every match even though I don't stream or upload anymore, just in case this (or something else interesting) happens.

Do what Taro says, show us something actionable, or just shut up.
