Why'd you revive this. He's not even playing this season.

Because I didn't think we needed another thread, but extine just recently posted this. If you'll all notice, powah flicks and it's damn... something.

So you had to bring it here to discuss someone who's not even currently playing? Obviously people have looked before but there hasn't ever been anything blatant.

video shows proof of nothing and if any of you did the same to your own povs it would also look different

I really don't think he hacks, when I played against him in our highlander match none of his shots were even close to blatant. It was back and forth the entire match, the only thing that was annoying as fuck was trying to figure out where his model was at.

I don't know though. From a programer's perspective, it is entirely likely that an aimbot would keep your current "crosshair position" and correct it before each shot, and then let it come back up to the actual position and it would look just like on the POV eXtine showed us.

If people tried to play in eu with 190 ping like powah, I doubt they will have nearly the same success as him, Sure ping can make your hitbox appear abnormal to players that have normal ping, but having a high ping definitively doesn't help you aim better as a sniper nor scout.

it doesn't help your aim but it makes the reg more forgiving
a lot of the times i'll hit shots i don't think i would of hit with normal ping

I've noticed that a lot too when I have have really high ping while playing on a European server. Can someone explain why that is?

The server calculates what tic your computer was on when you fired based on ping calculations. Higher ping usually means higher variance between packets and this makes it harder to correctly identify which tic your client was on.

Thus the server's knowledge of your world can differ from what you actually see, and shots that honestly miss a target can register.

That's my best guess at least.

about 95% sure that usercommands have a tick #/gametime/whatever attached to them would be silly to try to guess what someone's latency was at a particular millisecond

oh wow this thread...

powah e lindo

woah woah woah...somebody made an alt about me?

also, christ I read this thread then posted and its well onto the second page when it was only near the bottom of the first when I read. talk about an active community

I suppose I'll also take this time to weigh in on this. I dont think that powah hacks. HOWEVER, regardless of what technical bullshit people might say about ping/interp, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to snipe with 120+ ping. I see it happen because fox is on my team (hehe) and we used to do euro scrims and would roll div3-dv2 teams while running 2 snipers as opposed to 2 soldiers solely because we had high ping and knew how to exploit it. When it comes to powah I'm kind of against him playing in NA leagues simply because they are NA leagues not SA. If he got banned in SA and cant play there anymore then thats unfortunate but it doesnt mean we should invite him to play here and constantly shit on people from behind walls.

edit your posts nigga

dont tell me what to do....nigga

i always get -fragged for stating this, but in my opinion it's not easier to snipe on higher ping than if you had extremely low ping. whenever i travel out to the main united states every summer for 1-2 months, i have a much easier time registering shots when i have less than 30 ping rather than 150+. people were still accusing me of shooting them behind walls even when i have low ping, so it doesn't make that much of a difference to me.

i've also noticed a lot lately that i never see people scoped in when they headshot me, and in a lot of cases they're still in mid-jump or landing from their jump or running and i feel high ping is a double edged sword considering i can see people a split second before the servers shows me on their screen, but at the same time people can do the same thing to me (them peeking before my game shows me that they are scoped in at me).

in my personal opinion, having your headshots actually register as headshots at a greater rate is a lot better than having absolutely 0 control over where the game thinks the head is on your screen as opposed to where it actually is on the server

but what do i know, i'm just a fox

fox's lack rationality

powah cheater

css > tf2

css is fucking awful, cs 1.6 is where its at

sniper vs sniper with different pings is fucking retarded

thats all i have to say

You can't "dodge" a sniper when he has high ping (ie you can jump the second you see him so he'll bodyshot or something). Lag compensation makes it so that your movement is basically too late and he'll get an easy headshot since you probably straightlined on his side of things. There's also the bullshitting feeling after you've turned a corner and still get headshotted because his interp is delayed. It's really annoying for most people to play against a guy with that ping.

You haven't played either of them. Why does your opinion matter?

i played tfc before i got into cs 1.3, i even fucked around in the beta of cs before i got into comp in 1.3 and played it until 1.6 on and off for a long time and i played css as well, how would you even know what I've played before, i don't even know who you are? take a seat clown

Didn't defy come to TF2 from CSS?
