A demo of a player banned from CAL for hacking.

I don't think I've actually spec'ed someone and been convinced that they're hacking.

But this is really interesting. This is an HLTV demo from last week's Saints match in CAL Open. Watch the player [GIMP] Apathy, he's got teh walls. About four minutes in, just watch him. Watch where he's looking, he's basically in an enclosed room, looking at every wall. He starts going one way, looks at the other wall, goes that way and then blasts the guy he's been tracking. And apparently stairs are transparent too, watch him crawl up those stairs and now EXACTLY where everyone's going to be.

Another tell-tale sign is that when someone pops out from a corner, there's basically a millisecond before he bullets a bullet where their face suddenly is. You simply CAN'T do that with a K98. With an MP44 you listen very well and throw out some prefire and hope you timed it right and he's still going to pop out from the corner.

I'm very, very dependent on sound in DoD. If you can read it well enough, it can give away so many details about how you're going to make this kill as long as you have the problem solving skills to figure out exactly what to do. But this is different, he's tracking people all over the place where the sound is very faint and drowned out by multiple footsteps from his own teammates and opponents.

I find this kind of disturbing. The player was actually an administrator at a DoD League/server called Xtreme Professional League, which really isn't good for that league's image. The guy that hired Apathy (teh hax) said it best:

"If you play competitive DoD and suck just format/unistall because it would save a lot of us trouble."

I'm wondering if the players that do hack are like that one idiotic friend of yours who can't stand losing to anyone. I've got a friend who I kept trashing in Halo, he just whined and whined about how I was a cheap player, using cheap weapons, and looking at his screen... eventually he went to GameFaqs and found some ridiculously simple and very unsportsmanlike methods involving exploiting spawn points and the like. I'm amazed that anyone can feel a sense of accomplishment by doing this. "OMG I GOTS 3.0 KD!!!". I wonder if schooling all of the kids in my mom's grade 1 classroom in tennis would be a similar feeling.

By the way, this guy is a terrible player. Watch him suck with the Garand and duff a bunch of nades, if he didn't hack he'd be an average pubster. Teh winn4r.

I always love cheating in single player games because it gives you a feeling of immoratlity (which is fun to exploit). Unless the game is ridiculously difficult, I'll always beat it without cheats though. However, cheating in multiplayer games is just stupid.

wow, that was pretty obvious. I wonder how long he got away with it?

The best part was when the axis guy jumped over the wall and he follwed him before he even saw him then shot him mid air.

I don't understand why people cheat. It's so much more satisfying when you pwn someone legitimately(Random dod headshots notwithstanding)

Where'd you guys get your dod_saints to view the
movie. Whenever I try to load the demo, it says
I'm missing some file. (In this case something called
'file *131')

You could tell he was tracking the guy perfectly on those stairs by the tank. It was pretty funny when he didn't get that guy jumping into the river and he got shot almost in mid air.

Speaker, I'm not sure if there are shotguns or Camaros in this game

lol, obviously someone hasn't cheated in age of empires

Some of the cheats you can enter will give you units such as babies with shotguns riding tricycles, futuristic troops with destructive laser guns, and fast cars.

I don't get it Ten Yard. I watched that entire demo, following that guy Apathy, but I never saw the events you described. Are you sure this link is the correct one?
