I'm not saying cheating doesn't happen - it's just that more often than not people have not seen success through focus fire and the weirdness that is the netcode/HSR.

What? No, it was 30 second into the match. No way 5xERML can shoot 2000m+ from spawn to spawn.

My post is more of an example explaining many of the "Hax!" calls with legitimate in game scenarios. Was I really the guy shooting you? Probably not. But is that a switched on player with an unorthodox approach can attack in unexpected ways that might lead someone to call "Hax!". I know because I've caused it myself. Plenty of maps I can engage in under a minute without the other player even knowing. Especially with the way so many people strip back and leg armour....

Does cheating exist in MWO? I've got no doubt that it does. But if something that is called a hack is also possible / can be explained by legitimate circumstances, then we absolutely must consider that the more likely cause is one that is legit.

PGI should name and shame any pilots that were caught in their ban wave, like they did the first time, but this time with their unit tags. That's what I want.

[Scout Derek]

Cheaters are rare, but when I do see them, I do report, and If I can, record and report evidence.

I never ever accuse people of cheating unless I know fact for fact that they are. Usually the only way to catch them is via spectating, which happens after you die.

I did record one, albeit the recording got corrupted (thanks shadowplay), but sent to PGI soundly. Never saw the player again. Ever.

[Redacted]? I can see this was too serious a discussion for the internet. I am old and not used to forum style of banter. I was genuinely concerned about the state of the game an of "hacusations", but I am really to old for forums. This is not a slight on anyone but myself.

KDK's arent excessively hard to head shot, locust thought, was he moving or standing still?

He was moving, that is what blew our minds, he was sniped mid run.

I mean, it could happen, though the chances are very rare. Granted, taking 2 gauss shots to a Locust ST would achieve the exact same 1 shot insta death

It shows total team damage on the left side on the scroll bar when looking at your your own total score.

It's under the big bold yellow c-bill earnings on the left, not the middle one with your own stats at end match.

Hmm im going to have to look at this some more.. I was always thinking this was how many cbills you lost for the team damage you did.

Pretty sure that it's the amount of c-bills lost due to the team damage you did, since it's in the C-bill tally portion of the score screen.
