<div class="IPBDescription">lamers who accuse people of cheating</div> alrighty, i picked up half-life about three weeks ago to play natural selection based upon my good friends advice (well, more like pestering!)
anywhoo, the game is GREAT, except for one thing.
the players.
most of the players are the most pathetic bunch i have ever seen.
The average age must be 12 or 13. i have never seen such a lack of maturity in all my life.
if you can aim worth a damn, you are a cheater, period.
if you look at the walls checking for the circle drawn on the hud from motion tracking, you are "wallhacking".
if you kill a skulk while he is leaping, you are cheating.
if you walk through a door way and kill the guy hiding above it, you are cheating.
if you kill the guy hiding inside the alien resource tower, you are cheating.
if you have more than 30 fps, and use a jet pack or build something, you are cheating.
if you kill and onos or fade with a light machine gun you are cheating.
if you kill more than 1 person within 2 minutes you are also cheating.
if the commander drops a medpack on you while you are fighting and gain 50 health and do not die and kill the other guy, you have a god-mode-infinite-health hack and are cheating.
if you knife kill anybody you are cheating.
if you do ANYTHING aside from die, you are cheating, unless you play on the OSS server, because if you die thats also cheating apparently.
whats my point? the mentality of the players seems to be that if you are better than them in any way shape or form, you are cheating. on the advice of my friend, i downloaded a program called "cheating-death" (www.unitedadmins.com i think). however, even with this program (that is supposed to stop cheating) i am still a cheater some how.
would somebody please take the time to hold my hand and sit down with me and tell me what it is i am doing that leads people to belive i am cheating? i have been a gamer all my life, and have constantly been playing the fps genre since doom and cw. over the years, as one can imagine, i gained usefull "knowladge" of how people play and think, and gained "skill" over time.
for example, i was apparently cheating by knowing that an alien was hiding above the doorway on a map (its the one with no name, subspace, and port engine for hives) in mess hall. as i turned the corner leading tot he hall with the door, i heard it close (*beep* *vrooomp*). well gee, thers noooooooooo way an alien could be hiding above the door way, just waiting for an unsuspecting marine to open it, and walk through.... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
so i open the door and run back a bit (to create a space between me and the skulk/lerk [cant be gorge or onos or fade, they cant reach such places], since he is melee and i am range) he doesnt come down. as i re-approach, low and behold i see two hanging thingies that are indeed not a part of the door. could it be skulk feet? *gasp* it is!!! wow, now im shocked to see such a thing! imagine, a skulk hiding above a door way!! i ask you what strategic genious thought of this tactic? *giggle* so, what should i do? run through the door and just nevermind him, and hope he doesnt attack me? or, what i did, and run through the door backwards, with my gun pointing upwards before i got through the door way ready to shoot?
reaaaaalllllllllly tought decision there! so i do, and low and behold, it was not just two skulk legs, but an entire skulk!!! so i shoot, and kil before he even knows whats going on...after all, i was just supposed to walk trhough and he was supposed to jump on my back and chow down!
after that, it started... "OMG h4x!!!" (exact quote...) so i ask politley "what did i do wrong?"
and was met with "you stupid f***ing lamer. get the f*** off this server!"
well now, thats a great way to start my experiance with this game... so i was thinking "this must be an isolated incodent, as there is no way peopel would put up wtih type of bs all the time!" (mind you, i was running the cheating-death program i mentioned earlier)
at another game on another day i had a jet pack and heavy machine gun with level 3 tech upgrade for weapons and armor with motion tracking.as i was gleefully flying through the air a skulk appeared on my screen as a big blueish circle *gasp*. so i fire upon him. and kill him. "hacker!!!" riiiiiiiight. i had no idea what i had done, so again i asked "what did i do wrong? what makes you think i am a hacker?" to witch i was once again replyed to with "SUYF n00b! you know damn well you are using a bot!" *note: at the time, i had absolutely no idea what he mean by bot, come to find out what he meant was a thing called an aim-bot, its a program that keeps your cross hair on the badguy automaticly, so it aims for you*
at that point i was very irritated and left the server, i didnt even go throughthe menus, i just typed quit in the console. i was infiriated. how could this be? such a great game seems to be riddled by people who are so quick to accuse others of mis-conduct with absolutly no basis other than "he killed me, he must cheat!".
after about an hour, i went back to gameing in natural selection. this time i joined a server called "voogroo", on some of the other servers i was on they had plugins of sorts that added new stuff to the game, so when i saw voogroo it thought "wow, that must be an AWSOME server!" so i joined. while on the server, somebody killed me, it seems as though he was teleporting with a skulk. did i accuse him of cheating? no. he killed me, so what? big deal. hes a better player than i am. so i said "nice dude!" somebody else said "hes a f***ing cheating ba*stard!". i was shocked. simply because this other player killed me and three other people withing seconds, he's a cheater?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> we were all grouped together, everybody was naked (no jetpacks or heavy armor) and we were all injured from the xenocide of the last skulk. so this other guy ran up using leap, and started biting like crazy! he got all four of us. i dont understand how this makes him a cheater. he was promptly voted off btw.
it seems to be that most of the players think very simplisticly:
"i am god at this game. i am sooooooo good. anybody who kills me is a cheater!! because im so good, you would have to cheat to kill me!".
i really have no idea of the point of this post, i guess i am just venting my frustrations. is there a place i can play that i will not be accused of cheating when i kill a team of 5 skulks when i am wearing heavy armor with 290, a commander who is dropping health, and wielding a heavy machine gun in a narrow hallway where i have a straight shot at all the skulks?
is there any way i can show people that i am running an anti-cheating program so that they can see definetivly that i do not cheat?

Well anyhow on some of the servers running Cheating-Death a smal icon appears beside your name on the scoreboard when that player has CD active.
how can i tell if the server is running it before i join?
the times I have joined servers with CD it tell you when the game is loading up. but not before that.
Thus, allow me to <span style='color:red'>***lock***</span> it.
