Recently i've noticed some players having incredibly high kill counts in matches, almost all of which stem from headshots. I only really noticed this after playing 2 matches in a row with a player who got 5 and 6 kills in those matches. In the second match I was actually screening fro him with my light mech and noticed that he headshot every single mech that came into his firing arc.

Later on i died in several matches to headshots that seemingly killed me in 1 shot regardless of head armor last match i played in, i was 1 shot killed by a mech that was over 1000m away.

I'm just wondering if someone found an exploit or is somehow messing with the game. Its pretty frustrating to just fall over dead when your armor screen shows no damage at all.

3LL and a Gauss hitting you in the cockpit at the same time will have this effect. It's not that hard to hit the cockpit hitboxes on some of the MWO mechs.

I honestly doubt the whole 'headshot every single mech' business. How do you know those mechs weren't already damaged, someone else hit them at the same time etc? On different occasions I've walked into a group of mechs that were already damaged and 1 shot 3 in a row by coring and headshots. It's not that un-common.

Take a video next time. Bandicam works okay for me.

There's been aimbots for this game for awhile now. With that said, I headshotted a cent last night with one gauss to the face. And I'm no cheater, and lights are easy to one shot if you hit them right. The cicada is too.

i have heard rumors but have not seen this happen in any of the games i have played, but i have seen people alpha someone in the cockpit.

@hovertank I'll have to look into the bandicam thing, the reason it was brought to my attention was that I would target a mech long enough to get its damage stats on my HUD, and about that time the guy would 1-shot it with an AC of some type. This wasn't an issue where the guy would aim for a while and then shoot at a stand still target, the other mechs were often running full out in various directions and he would just turn and what looked like react shoot and kill them. Perhaps he was just that damn good, I've known a few people in Call of Duty games who could do that without difficulty (which made me want to strangle them, and they are my friends XD) but never having seen it before in MWO until this latest patch, it just raised my suspicions. doesn't seem that this topic got a lot of attention so i'm guessing it was a combination very good player / lot of luck.

I've been headshotted once in over 400 matches and that's because I was standing still like an *****. Don't stand still.

when I'm using 4LLS or 2erppcs and 2 lls on my k2 that is exactly what I'm waiting for. Usually people get too focused on the target their aiming for and hold still, aiming for the right point, that's when you pop them in the canopy. I've gotten a few accusations of hacking myself because my damage isnt that high (around 450 or so) and i have around 4-5 kills I keep telling people you wont do absurd damage if you're aiming for the head... =/

Edit: That said there ARE hacks out there and aimbots

I headshot a mech the other night while he was moving fairly quick. Turns out the guy had a ton of ammo for his weapon in his head and my crit detonated it. I want everyone to carry their ammo in the head. I dont cheat or aim bot hell it was an accudent i even hit him in the head , i am a center of mass guy.

15 matches today..

in 6 matches i had there was always 1 guy with 5+ kill


getthing 1 shoted with jenner while jamming with 140km/h over the map...
okay lucky i thought next match.. another guy ... 640m headshot while i was jumping to make a quick scout over an hill.. that dude did end up with 7 kills.. i saw 5 headshots from him while i was spectacting.

i wouldnt wonder if those guys wouldnt have a ping above 250 ? i mean headshots not that hard on big mechs if your ping is good.. but as higher your ping is.. its hard to hit even a chestpart of an atlas.

well since friday theres a fullhack for MW:O available it got dl over 1k+ times.. so yeah if you have avg. 1.500 players online.. i think you can easy guess the numbers of hackers.

I sense an extreme amount of exaggeration here, typical for this forum.

the underlined part is actually very common... some guys go full tilt in a STRAIGHT LINE until they notice the first contact then they bob and weave but head shotting an atlas is nigh impossible unless hes staring right down your weapon barrel

[xenoglyph]

Yes, and where is the part showing it pulling off headshots?

I have no problem hitting the chest of an atlas at almost any range......and my ping is always 250ms +.

I wonder if that was you the other night in that jenner,,,....almost the same thing, I knew what he was doing, lined up where he was going to pop up with his jumpjets as he did the exact same thing 2 times before....., and like clock-work he jumped up, and I killed him.

Can't remember what was said in chat, but it wasn't pretty....

[Sayyid]

That is a known and old hack. PGI is aware of it.

Most of the time its not hacks its just good players.

I know I have killed a Jenner on accident with an AC20 to the cockpit as it flew through the air. He said I hacked. I got lucky.

[Sug]

Yes there are hacks and aimbots. Yes people use them.

I still think it is silly to buy a sub to cheat at a F2P game.

This game isn't rocket science to learn.

I go for the head on anything that shuts down in front of me or decides to stand still. That said, those images look like your standard fps wall hack and such.

[Murphy7]

I had a match where I limped into the enemy base to find a trial Atlas hanging out there, who would fire what he had and overheat. He seemed more laggy than botting, unless it was a long script and I played right into it. But we thought the best idea was to stand back to a wall and rotate to fire - I was able to head shot him with the CT medium lasers, and apologize to the other side in general chat.

That shouldn't happen, but I would suggest that maybe, just maybe, the hitbox on the head of an atlas is encompassing more of the area around the (Atlas' perspective) left eye-socket and having that count as a head shot. That may have always been true, but I have rarely seen an Atlas stay so still for the hits either. Other side of the head registers as CT, it seems.
