<div class="IPBDescription">..dunno where to put this</div> Hi everybody,

I've just played on a server combat and recognized some wierd bug, exploit or hack.
The Guy called himself NSPLAYER and everytime he shot me it seems like he emptied his whole clip in miliseconds.

The first time I imputed it to lag because he still had a lmg and one sg-guy shot me, too -> dead
After that I blinked up to him the long stairs in daimos and killed him with one focus-slash, but again he dropped my hp from full to ~110 hp (0ap) with his lmg in ONE frame.

The following situations I died multiple times to him, although I attacked with full hp, because he hit me with multiple sg-shots in the time of one normal shot.
I've even heard the sound of multiple hits in this short time as if you blink into a group of shotgunners!

So here is my question:
Is this known as an exploit or hack and
is it related to some special server/net-settings??

This Thread is not about whining about cheaters but I really wanna know if this is known, if the dev-team could fix this in anyway or if it is a job for vac/cheating-death.

Edit: I've read that ex_interp could cause such issues before ex_interp 0 was locked !?

    I never experienced this before, But that seems a little stranger to me. Was he using some sort of speed hack?

    False.

    If he's shooting noticibly faster than everyone else he's probably speedhacking though.
    Try to get a demo of him (record demoname in console and then stop when you want the recording to stop, the demo will be found in your ns directory) and upload it to some free webhost and link it, and we'll be able to help you better.

    I once spec'd a player on my server for a good while, as his shotgun seemed to unload much quicker than normal (his reload was equally as quick). One of my clanmates assured me it was a bug when I caught him doing the same thing. So I would like to know if this is a bug as I've seen it twice, and I believe my clanmate. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    sounds like a speedhack to me
    150*2 = 300 damage to cara = 30 bullets
    300-110 = 190 damage to hp = 19 bullets
    so he missed 1 bullet from an unupgraded lmg, or a few from an upgraded one, but it sounds like a speedhack.

    Yeah, I guess u are right, seems like a speedhacker,
    although he didn't move fast.
    I thought (till now) speedhacking only effects your movement, but now it's getting clear.
    Thanks, my question is answered.

    And since this thread has served its purpose, the only thing it can generate is spam, or some pinhead linking or posting to a cheat. And so...
