"Secondly, you see you're doing it again. One minute you come out with a statement that makes me think that perhaps you are an experienced and decent player (at any game) but then you go and ruin it."
Allow me to translate that...when I say something you agree with I'm an experienced and decent player. When I say something that gets up your nose I'm just a sore loser.
Mmm. UYA.
So if it wasn't an aimbot I saw these miracle snipers using, what was it? I'm to believe that these guys can run around, zoomed-in, and hit moving targets consistently? Can they also nail jello to the ceiling of a moving train? Snort. Your faith, belief or whatever you want to call it, that all these super-snipers are running on pure skill is disturbing. Are you a born-again-christian by any chance? They think Jesus is back on earth performing miracles too.
You are correct in one of your half-assertions...I am a VERY experienced gamer, and I can sniff-out bad code and cheats as easily as a bloodhound would smell half a pound of bear-shit stuffed up it's nose.
When will you understand that a human being can do with the code only what is PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO DO WITH THE CODE? Why do you insist that a finite code is capable of infinite permutations? If code was as variable as real life it would be called the frigging MATRIX and we'd all be laying in baths of jello fragging the fuck out of each other 24/7.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONSISTENTLY SNIPE A MOVING TARGET WHILST MOVING YOURSELF, END OF STORY. IT CAN BE DONE BY LUCK BUT ANYONE DOING IT CONSISTENTLY, SHOT AFTER SHOT, IS FUCKING WELL CHEATING! NO HUMAN BEING POSSESSES THE ABILITY TO OVERCOME THE PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS OF THE BLOODY CODE,
PERIOD!
If it could be done most players would be able to do it. Have you tried it? Do you really think ANY combination of human abilities would overcome the obstacles presented by the crude code in the game? A zoomed-in image with almost zero field of view and no depth. Zero peripheral vision. Magnified jerking and shaking as one runs. Target moving and jerking. No way to calculate lead because the code doesn't have a ballistics model any more complex than a laser line-of-sight. And other guys shooting and grenading the shite out of you, strange this super-sniper is somehow able to dodge the incoming shit-storm long enough to make his kill. And you think some players are able to overcome that? Large numbers judging by what I've seen.
Yeah, it's a pretty tall order by anyone's standard. Ever heard of Occum's Razor?
When I was in the FL we were asked what we wanted to be. Almost to a man every one of us replied "Sniper!" The NCO's laughed, and I still chuckle when I think back on it.
Consider then the reality...young kids dreaming of being The Hidden Death. But the code in their interface with the dream is crude. Snipers die fast because the game can't give them what a real environment gives a sniper...the only way to go super is to cheat.
So they cheat, and that's what I've been seeing. I actually saw a sniper jump from a window, fire as he was falling and hit his target. Skill? Please, don't insult my intelligence. What's left of it anyway.
On to the other stuff...why is GameSpy so bad? All it does is list available servers, same as The All Seeing Eye I presume?
