Should be considered cheating and gaining unfair advantage? I think its a very cheap thing to do but where do the admins stand on this?

So people are using a bit of kit to improve their game when they can just do what most others do and practice? I'm no admin so I can't have a say on whether or not this can hold people accountable as gaining an unfair advantage (when it will clearly be that they are when using this). I think its unfair on the other players that just want to enjoy playing the game and get good the best and harder way. Practice. Practice makes perfect. When that kit breaks, they're gunna be screwed anyways and be back to normal.

 

The hardest thing for people on the servers is that they will not be able to tell if someone is using that kit or just good (or using an aimbot).

I hate quick scopers. If you are going to choose a sniper rifle, then act like one.

I do want to point out, some of the monitor have this feature built-in. Some of the ASUS, and BenQ have a red-dot. It is obviously a form of assistance, and I consider it a cheap tactic that gives you an advantage in hip fire mode. There is no way an admin can prove this, but when you spec someone for a while you  can detect a pattern. The other day I was specing this guy in our server who was using a M14 and hip firing without missing. If you do single non consecutive shots with M14 it almost always lands in the center. For me the challenge was to track the center. The guy could defrost people in hip-fire mode while running, and even thru small holes in boxes. I mean I have to aim-in lock-on and then defrost. 

 

Anyways, stuff like this irks me off and then I wonder how can you ever have a level playing field. I had to work on my game to get better, this is almost a shortcut.

fwiw, I use a game pad.. and I'm not very good..

but it is ALOT more comfortable for me..

5 minutes with a keyboard and my hand is aching like crazy..

Gamepad lets me move it around, rest my arm on my desk, or chair.. whatever

 

I don't see a gamepad giving me a SKILL advantage whatsoever..

LOL High tech version of the good ole Red Sharpie dot in the center of the screen.

 

I forget who made it but there used to be a Static Cling crosshair that you just stick fast to your old Tube monitor.Used to use one of them back in my competition days.

 

Most of the time they just get in the way especially if the weapon that you are using has Any sway to it.

Any software mode is cheating! I have a Asus monitor which allows me to use a red or green cross-hairs in the center but they never line up with the soft-core sights and just get in the way...especially when using a scope which I use all the time.

 

If you want to put cross-hairs on a piece of scotch tape and line it up with your soft-core sights...go ahead...that's a hardware mode...

 

Just my thoughts,

You know what I am thinking, I am going to experiment with a dry erase marker and see if it really makes a big difference in hip-fire. If I get 5 nukes in 1 match, you may guess how :).

Given how inaccurate hip fire is on the noacr server, this is no advantage at all.
