<div class="IPBDescription">Regarding 'dubious' gameplay</div> Heya all,

I was playing on my favourite server when some of my team-mates accused another player on the opposing team of cheating.

I recorded this short demo and just thought I'd ask, are they really cheating? If so, what are they using, as I've never seen it before.

Their wonID 1088242 and name n00b

(demo attached + zipped up)

    There are people from torment who play under the name n00b - the majority of cheat accusations are towards those who alias under these names.

    I did a google search on

    WonID 1088242

    (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=WonID+1088242)

    and from the looks of it they've been banned from many servers

    seems to be a cheat... he lags like hell and deals enormous amounts of damage in no time.

    I'd say yes.
    He knifed down an RT in 5 slices and knifed 2 skulks without taking any damage.

    Maybe he was just HORRIBLY lagged but it definitely looks bad from this demo.

    There aren't any hacks that make you avoid damage.

    he takes no damage because everything in kniferange is killed immediately.

    I lag prodigously on 56.k and nothing like that every happens, maybe it was the charge exploit...
    since I'm at school I can't peep the demo, but it don't seem like that becuase shockwave would have caught it...

    [edit]
    plus I'm a moron for not realizing that the team probably fixed that

    Ok, for the last damn time before I start handing suspensions out: No witchhunts.
