I think I have enough experience of online gaming to recognize the difference between lag, a shonky connection and a hack. But just to be sure I'd wait to see the same behaviour on more than one server before deciding somebody is a cheat or the victim of unfortunate WWW circumstance.
When I got a guy coming at me smoothly, firing his pistol and taking multiple rounds from my SMG, with blood-spray to prove it, and he ain't down by the 20th round, I know something stinks. Especially when it's happened for the tenth time in half an hour.
If I'm sure, based upon my own experience and judgement, the guy's name goes up. If I ain't sure I'll hold off till I have more proof.
It isn't ideal, nor 100% fool-proof...but it beats the crap out of continuing to suffer the depredations of these scum without doing a bloody thing about it. "Un-meditated"? Quite the opposite. "Un-mitigated"? By what?
