Once this guy showed up in a few of my regular IO servers I was pretty surprised to see him doing well considering he had so low infantry kill stats. At first I assumed he was probably just a good player but then he started pulling some really weird shots. It wasnt long before I realized that this guy was killing almost everyone in his sight with 1 burst of the g36e and at any range. There were plenty of times were I was doing my best to simply hop across the street at karkand only to find myself drop dead either in mid air or shortly after.
Those that have played with me and know me also realize that my infantry skills are some of the best in pub servers, and I am usually the last one to accuse someone of botting or cheating in some way. But out of the few times were I have accused people, I have been right 100% of the time. Being a long time fpser I know what people are capable of and what feels just plain wrong. With pickle_power I couldn't supress the feeling that there was something just wrong with his playstyle.
When pickle_power appeared in my current favorite server at rubberducky #2, I welcomed his presence and his stupidity. I say stupidity because that server runs battlerecorder and has a working cache of demos. Sure enough when I got on this guy was pulling all sorts of crazy shit and getting ridicolous scores and ratios. He also got me with quite a few of those phantom "where the fuck did that come from" shots. So after the round I disconnect and eagerly dl the demo.
First thing that strikes me as I watch him at the beginning of the round. He lies prone at the corner of the hill at usmc spawn looking down into the karkand street. I pause and zoom in as close to his point of view as possible with free cam and notice that the foliage of the tree at the foot of hill's ledge is blocking his point of view directly in front of him. Then after a couple of 1-2 burst kills on people all the way down below coming from the fenced of front area by the hotel, he kills instantly caps a pkmer prone at the corner of the front building. The funny things is that the tree is blocking his field of view COMPLETLEY.
Next obvious hacking shot. He prones near the fence on the ground defense side of the hotel, you know the spot where support whores chuck nades into the main karkand street to get spawners. After a few quick BS kills on people in the open but way far away, he starts staring at the fenced off front area across the street. In slomo I watch him fire. I think wtf is he firing at? Then I see a kill message and scroll to the victim. It was a sniper who was well within the boundaries of the fenced off area. Can we say hacker. Anyway... im thinking about reporting him. I heard rumors that his account was on sale on ebay, can anyone confirm this?
