I'll admit that I play the game more than I actually browse the forums, so maybe there's something I'm not aware of. But I noticed a strange thing just now after a match that compelled me to post about it.

This one guy entered in lines of text in chat so fast that I knew it had to be set up as an automated macro somehow, because no gamer I know can type that fast without typos and grammatical errors, and on cue as well. What do I mean by on cue? Every single time this person was able to kill an enemy, he'd say the same lines like within a second after killing the person. Something like, "This pilot was no match for ComStar," or some bullcrap like that. And during the pre-match, he spitted out about four or five lines of text immediately one after the other, which almost seemed like he was self-advertising. Again, no normal person could have typed that fast and so perfectly.

Basically what I'm asking is this: Is there a macro system set up for chat/text? And if not, then have I just encountered someone who exploited a bug, or possibly even a hack?

Or other appropriate hardware or software.


No, there's no macro feature in MWO so far.

Heck, my MOUSE can build macros like that.

This is no bug or hack, he is just using a keyboard or mouse with programmable buttons.
