The Cheater Problem is Artificial

Oh wow so 16k out of 2m. 

Still a very low percentage. You guys are responding in such a way that makes me think you feel personally attacked. Why?

All I'm saying is that there is far less cheaters than this forum leads you to think there are. I'm willing to bet that many of these posts are made from people coming out of a game where they just got laser beamed and are upset about it. They think they got killed by a hacker because they want to validate themselves, sorry but it's probably true based on the posts I've been seeing.

I've seen it for years and years. Someone questioned how long I've been playing - well I'd say competitively since CS 1.3 so that's around 2001. 18 years is probably older than some of you. Through out all that time I've seen the same thing over and over again. People calling hax way too often. I've personally been banned more than a few times from pub servers because of cheat accusations - Again not a brag. I'm NOWHERE near as good as Shroud. but what if you went against him unknowingly? Would you think he was cheating? I'm gonna go ahead out on a limb here and say yes based off what I've been seeing here in the forums.

Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Artificially Inflated" or something like that idk... The title makes sense to me. You guys are making it out to sound like there is a hacker in every single one of your games. There more than likely is not. Guns have very low recoil, aiming is easy and getting consecutive head shots with the wingman really isn't hard at all. Seeing silhouettes through smoke is fairly easy and who's to say that person who "killed you thru smoke omg" didn't have a digital threat? Same thing, over and over again. 

Once again, for the record, THERE ARE CHEATERS IN THIS GAME. I am WELL aware of that. Cheating is a problem, nobody likes it. Just stop over blowing the situation.
