netphlix, I wasn't in that game, just watched the second half of it. The players were the ones who were raging. Also I'm sure none of the players in question have games consistently in that range, while meldun does. Ducky, no one has provided evidence of seeing through smoke on low settings, so if you haven't seen it, I suggest you play more and/or pay more attention. He locks the guy through smoke, goes over the hill without moving the reticle, then starts shooting. The player might have been behind the hill, or moving horizontally which is a weak spot for bots. Also note the snap to the middle of the hill right before the lock through smoke. Not really a reason for it other than a player behind it. You must be unaware of the current state of cheats. Nowadays you can scan the battlefield, then toggle any button you like to lock to a player. It can be a constant lock/track or simply a snap to target. Someone can scan around toggling the button and snap to targets at any rate (fast, medium, slow) and to any part of the body they want. I suggest you guys do more research into what cheats are capable of these days, because it seems like outside of the obvious troll hackers that snap/HS 15 targets in 10 seconds, you have no clue. But it is good to know that if I ever wanted to I could get an ESP/aimbot and do the ole throw smoke on myself and lock all day, and you guys will just post crying baby gifs to anyone who accuses me. Lmao, this place is a joke.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to follow someone around and gather footage. Now that he is on notice I'm very sure that he won't do anything suspicious like this in the near future. You already have the footage, you know what his gameplay is like. I have footage too, but nothing convincing enough to say it's a bot. Yes he snaps to targets but this can just be written off as skill, even though in my opinion it isn't. I knew I needed to gather something that couldn't be written off as skill or luck. If he saw him before the smoke, ok sure it was skill. If he was spraying in the area, ok that was lucky. But he snaps without ever seeing a target and shoots him right in the head. That's an aimbot. When you find something like this it should be beyond doubt proof of a bot. I have snapped to targets, I'm aware of that possibility as a legitimate player. But I have never in my 1600 hours snapped to a player and headshotted through smoke. And you can watch some of my clips.. most are unlisted, but I've pulled some pretty crazy shots. Always on people you can clearly see, regardless of your settings. Ultimately I really don't care if you ban him or not. I'm not trying to convince you that he is, I'm telling you that he is. I barely play this server, and I barely know that guy. I am experienced in the game, and have caught my share of botters, and am telling you that shot isn't possible legitimately. You know that shot isn't possible legitimately, but your friendship has you in denial. I'm trying to help you guys out by giving you clear evidence that the game breaking, rage quit inducing, 50-1 attack chopper dude isn't legit. The server will be better off without him, and while someone shouldn't be banned for skill alone, in my opinion you finally have the evidence you were looking for to get rid of this guy and make 98% of the server happier for it. There's a reason several of you have hours of footage. You all had that gut feeling he was, maybe just never got as lucky as I did with the timing.

That comment was aimed at Freiheit. And no, my findings are based on video evidence not speculation from K/D spikes, although .5 to .7 is hardly something to worry about. At .7 Meldun has more than 4x your K/D. You would need more than 20,000 kills without dying to match Meldun, just to put things in perspective. So no, I don't think anyone is accusing you. Additionally, K/D is a poor indicator of whether or not someone bots. I've seen players who are even or negative and clearly aimbotting or have been PB banned. There are also legitimate players who have higher than 3:1 K/D. It's a meaningless stat; sometimes wildly high accuracy or HS % is a good indicator, but video evidence is best. I'm not "out to get" anyone. I'm not jealous of his skill. I just went 23-0 on a server without noticing while playing the objective, so I'm not saying his score or K/D is impossible. Although I do it much, much less often then meldun does. I just noticed some suspicious behavior, so rather than derp and hackusate I spectated, and I saw something that to me and many others is a clear indicator of a bot. If you don't think that is clear evidence despite all of the spectator shortcomings, then I doubt anything other than obvious troll hackers will be convincing enough. Those guys I don't mind, they get banned in minutes or hours. But these guys.. the sneaky ones who try to cover a bot are the real dirtbags. It is very easy these days to run one and look legit, and I'm tempted to every day to prove my point, but I put faith in the admins to act when stuff like this is presented. When these things get by it's just less and less motivation to play legitimately.

Interesting as that may be, nothing in there shows him using thermal through smoke or even seeing through smoke. Improved visibility is not the same as rending smoke useless. Again, there is no reason for this to happen. I know it can be frustrating and somewhat hard to believe that a teammate/friend is cheating, but I promise you that he is. Have you ever noticed that despite his incredible aim, he has very poor battle tactics even though he has more hours than either of us? He simply runs into the field and hopes that his "aim" will do the work. It's painful to watch him scope a tank from across the field, or snap lock/track a player 20 feet away with an 8x scope, then stumble around the battlefield. In any case, take solace in the fact that despite your hours and respectable stats he has nearly double your skill and K/D because he isn't a legitimate player.

Unless you want to provide links, this is just conjecture. It makes absolutely no sense that Dice would give an advantage to lower performance settings in any situation. Shorter duration has no impact on game performance, detail does however. Netphlix he locks without flir, then turns it on. Standing in smoke and seeing a vague outline, then using a full mag for a kill is different from locking a target 50m away through heavy smoke when there is another guy outside the smoke just to his left. He locks to the player without any change in zoom or scope field. It's a short video because anyone familiar with botters will recognize the snap to lock and through smoke no less. I can post videos of him snapping to target but it's too easy to say "oh he's just good" or "oh thats spectator lag". A snap lock through smoke is a dead ringer. I'm not frustrated. I played on his team for a couple rounds then against him for maybe 5 minutes before I decided to watch and see if he was. Shortly after I took this video. The dude is botting, and unless you have some evidence (IE links) then can we keep it to admins/the player in question only, please.

Not true. If it were, everyone would run their system on low for this reason. https://youtu.be/d-IK9Q5aOdY?t=56s Regardless of setting since the Dec patch thermal cannot see through active smoke. Any smoke. The graphics level simply changes the detail of the smoke from a black blob to a black plume of death.

I would agree except the special effects smoke lingers, and dissipates as he goes through it. Here's a slightly longer clip to show it isn't very old.

I'm new here but have 1600hrs in game and caught over a dozen botters at MIg. This guy is botting. The hard snap through smoke at 10 sec should tell ya. Note that lasers and scopes might not show while you are recording, but will show in the recorded video. Anyone without some sort of assist would go for the player in broad daylight to the left..
