While playing on Grim Plexus, on the opposing force was a steath assassin with a beam laser. He was keeping out of range of my clan er large with full range nodes and firing thru buildings/cover constantly and warping all over the place Is this a server issue or was he deliberately causing lag? We lost the game and he personally took out 4 players who were complaining as well Any clues to how this was accomplished?

Well, cheating is rare but it does happen - as evidenced by past ban waves. I've never seen what you're describing, but the best thing to do is all report him so that PGI can see what's going on. Could be network manipulation, or just being really mobile and using jump jets; you can get rubber-banding off of buildings sometimes. Also, Assassins don't have Beam Lasers, they're exclusively Inner Sphere - what you're describing is probably a DarkDeath with a large Xpulse, or else a Clan 'mech that was misidentified because ECM.

Even if we had any idea how to cheat, it would be against the ToS to reveal it on the forum.
I've never seen anything similar to what you're describing though.

The best thing to do in these situations is to record the game and report it to PGI support by mail.
