@Fenris50Thanks for sharing! Which platform/s are you playing on? I was playing with a friend the other day and he mentioned that someone managed to hit and kil him with an EVA-8 from across the map while playing Attrition on Homestead. I wrote it off as a buggy one-off, but judging by your post it's not. That bit about foresight and flawless aim is something I experienced when playing with said friend; we were playing Attrition on Angel City and some guy joined and the game started to lag like crazy, and this guy lagged about the screen - seizure-like movements that caused him to move around like he was playing red light green light with a strobe - and he had that kind of uncanny aim and foresight. Can't remember his name, though, so can't really report. At first I figured he was an ace player playing on a crappy modem but I assume that some of it may have been cheats.
Edit: Playing on PS4, fwiw.
@ICA_CourierPlaying mostly Attrition (all maps) on PC. Happens mostly on EU servers but also on all others. While some sketchy playing could be attributed to simple ping lag, it quickly becomes obvious when someone has a cheat suite running. The give-aways are things like uncanny snapping around to a focused aim and 1 shot kill. Some of the more savvy cheaters will turn their software down to where they are always just "slightly faster, "almost" uncanny in their aim, and take "less" damage but not to the point of being so blatant that anti-cheat software would catch them. Then there are the idiots who just don't care. They blaze around focusing on target after target from ridiculous ranges. Even had one guy send me a friend request after I called him out as a cheater ... LOL! In the end they are hundreds of points ahead of everyone else, rack up high 20's, 30's even 40's pilot kills but seldom significant numbers of titan kills & often they don't bother with minions. Here's some examples from both TF1 & TF2. I've blacked out the names so that moderators here don't get huffy about "naming and shaming"
@Fenris50. Wait, so with these cheating tools the player can design their own damage input/output as well as aim assist and what not? The one-shot auto-aim I knew about and invulnerability wasn't too far-fetched, but to be able to tweak it to disguise the cheats? That's almost impressive. I've been paying a bit more attention to the things you mentioned and I'm fairly certain I've come across the occasional cheater, but I'm also fairly certain that some of the highscoring players are just mad skilled players. On a sidenote, though, do you know if there are some aim assist cheats for frags? I've been unpleasantly surprised by what's either insanely lucked out throws or impossibly well-calculated grenade tosses - think Worms; over obstacles, rolling down a specific cliffside, bouncing inside cover and fragging me. Not saying that both skillful players can't do it nor that throws can't get surprisingly lucky, but they've stacked up considerably lately and it got me curious. Thanks again for sharing what you know!
- @ICA_Courier There are, indeed, players out there with just mad skills. They know the game, maps and strategies inside and out. I salute those who have put in the work to gain these skills.
A quick google search for topics like Titanfall2 cheats, Titanfall cheats or the like will turn up many links to sites offering these cheats for sale. Of course many of these sites are probably scams to part the naive from their money, but some are not and the list of mods they offer is indeed impressive.
As for the fantastic grenade tosses ... I personally don't know if those are out there. I suspect they are though. I've also been the victim of those kinds of tactics and am always chagrined, dismayed and astounded all at the same time.
I've come to be resigned that the cheaters are out there to stay and now just play the games to have fun and not to be overly concerned by the bad guys or Respawn's apparent indifference to them. I think of how sad and pathetic a life one must have such that they must cheat at an aging ... but still fun ... video game in order to feel any self-worth or ... maybe it is just all about chest thumping, macho masturbation that gives them the glow of satisfaction.
Anyway ... I'm determined to view them as merely a pathetic annoyance.
Have fun and Game on!
