Anyone else noticed? i went on 4 regular servers just now and there were at least 3 in each one. And no, it wasn't just me sucking. i'm very aware of my skill level and it wasn't even due to me dying a lot. They were getting 10 - 15 kill streaks with baseball bats amidst huge amounts of chaos. Sure they died but nobody aims like that.
 
not seen any invulnerability hacks, i'd say your team was pretty bad. seriously.

There's no such thing as invulnerability hacks, and also well done for reading the first post :)

The problem is not that they stay alive, because they dont. The problem is that they get 10 - 15 kill streaks within 5 seconds of the first kill.
 
Yeah tbh i dont know what i was expecting other than the usual elitist rubbish in the PC gaming section.

It's all my fault. i concede :P
 
Go Cry, Emo Kid!

And seriously, just because someone is good doesnt mean they are hacking. The Scout/Bat trick is actually very rewarding. Nobody seems to notice when they get smacked in the back of the head by a scout. Ive lost count the ammount of heavies ive beated down from full health with one!

15 kills in 5 seconds is not being good, and is not due to people not noticing.

And it didnt happen once. it happened every time they spawned.

It's easy for you to sit there playing devils advocate, but there is a big difference between blatant hacking and being good. I know the difference between them and a quick search on google and youtube will show you just how many cheats are around and easily available. cs-hacked.com had thousands and thousands of members during 1.6 and i dont see why that can't have carried over.
I'm a good player. I spend far too much time playing FPS games and i'm good at them. I get banned for hacking (not very often, but it's happend) for being a good player. It's not even brag-worthy. The point of this post was that these guys were cheating. They were, wether you want to hear it or not. My question was if anybody else had noticed it, not wether you think it is or isnt true.

So how many actually good players do you play with? As the majority dont often play on publics at all, i ask because it seems like you havent seen REALLY good players. Also exaggerating is not cool, unless it was custom maps i dont believe you at all ;)

Hi, please quote the whole of my posts and not just the parts you can argue against.

I can't follow your post, i'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "i dont believe you at all". In any case i'm not asking you to "believe" me, because i couldn't give to humps what you think. Go play on your private servers with your elite mates. If that was the case, i dont see why you're even in a thread about hacking on public servers, as you obviously never experience it on your private servers where everyone is a Pr0.

Edit: If really good players only play on private servers, according to your logic, they obviously wern't really good players, because it was a public server.
 
I'll quote the whole of your post if you actually read mine ;) i quoted the only relevant part of your post...

I dont believe your entire story, just seems way over the top and a general "omg i got killed by some guys on tf2".


Post #1, i'll highlight to help you out.

See the irony here?

If you dont believe what i'm saying, get out of the thread. I didn't create a thread to make up a story. Why would i even do that? What would be the point? Search youtube for TF2 Hacking and watch the videos. What i've described is perfectly feasable because it happens.

So thanks Anim, but go elsewhere for whatever you're looking for. Your complete arrogance and naivity to existence of hacks is laughable. They do exist, people do hack, and its easy to do.

All i wanted to know was if other people have experienced it. You obviously havent. All your posts can be summed in with "No". Everything else is pointless. As i said, i didnt create a thread, make up a load of "pretend scenarios" and then say "anyone else had this??".
 
VAC isn't worth anything. The only real defence against hackers (who do exist) is a good mod team, as mentioned.

i was playing mass-public servers (like the old UK2.Net servers, about 50 servers with no admins) so it's understandable.

honestly watch youtube, you'll see how blatant it is. Hacks are easy to find, it's not a difficult world to get in to.
