Anyone else seeing a rise in tf2 hacks?

Last three days ive seen a few different type of hacks that seem to be floating around. The first involves players being able to track cloaked spies, i was in the enemy intel room with a heavy waddling around outside, no matter what side i tried to escape out of (while cloaked and i hadnt touched the intel) this guy was firing as soon as i was edging around the corner. He later was using the sniper class and in spec mode was running around firing his smg at cloaked spies.

Then tonight we had a guy with the heavy class who was soaking up absurd amounts of damage. This guy had a fully powered sentry riddling him along with 2 pyros and a rocket guy and it took a good 30 seconds to take him down. And before anyone asks, no medic in sight.

Anyone else experiencing more dodgy players as of late?

Heres a good example from a "premium" server with me using the 15 min trial they allow per day (hence the infinite cloak)

Could he make it any more obvious?

Yeah..this doesn't make sense to me either.

Even if it's 'allowed' because you pay, it's rather pleb-worthy.

Its a feature on the server, anyone can try it for 15 minutes, if its a server mod then hows it "cheating"? What the heavy was using was however not a server mod and would probably work on any other server so THAT was cheating.

I've never heard of a hack for tf2 that will let someone take loads of damage and I've seen the actual hacks :\

The being able to see spy is one I have seen, and the recent update stopped it working, unless a newer version has been released but I don't know.

Trust me tonight this guy had it working for the heavy, he was taking a total hiding and wasnt ubered or being healed, just took forever to finally drop him. Both of them were in the same clan as well, some russian gibberish.

It's impossible to make a health cheat, it'd have to be server side.

Well i know what i seen as did the players in my team, they were flinging abuse at the guy left and right after taking him down. Don't think ive seen/heard so many swear words inside of 30 seconds ever.
