What the hell is spec cheating?

by **A Blue Bic Pen** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 12:11 pm

Man you guys are funny. I've seen spec cheating occur in scrims etc. where it's 6v6, and that works pretty good, because teams usually have a set strategy, and you can get a good feel for where they'll consistently be.

On this server, even with a voice communication program, there's no way to spec cheat. It's simply impossible. The most likely explanation for the complaints of spec cheating is that there is no hiding spot on the whole map that someone else hasn't used first, so people who have played for a while tend to check all the spots.

If you had bothered to pay attention to the massive five line conversation you would have seen that it went like this:

random n00b: 'BS Man you have an aimbot'
me: 'who?'
random n00b: 'Militant'
me: 'He he mili has an aimbot'
me: 'rofl'
me: 'I have a reverse aimbot, I use it to make myself look crap.'

I wasn't accusing militant you tard I was mocking the guy who was accusing Militant. As for ^woot's idea that I was getting raged on, I was on the specs at the time and not even playing. I believe you were saying something about slander...

As a final point I don't remember any red sharpie there at the time and I was speccing all over. Care to tell us what your alias is, or would you rather hide in the shadows. Is it even possible you meant to log out and log back in under another name before you came out with that last blisteringly incorrect accusation?

Rofl, Parrot doesnt have any voice software cuz he has a MAC and he types too slow to say where people are on the map.

Odd.... often as I'm floating around in spec as an admin checking people out I see all kinds of things happening/about to happen. If my morals were low enough, it wouldn't take much at all for me to tell my bud(s) in (name your voice-chat program here) about things going on.

"You're clear around the next corner. Wait. Down the stairs. Dude with a flame-thrower. He's hurt bad though. He's at the bottom. Drop a nade. Perfect. K, venom still in ducts. Jump the rail but watch out for the lt and med behind the crates. They're feeding each other right now. Good, they didn't even see you. K, warroom, ven on left, faust on the filing cabinet to right."

Gee.. that was hard to envision. I must be a writer to come up with something so crazy.

I have one problem with that. As a spec you can't see someone's health, so how would you know how hurt they were, truly? And with so many people playing, how is it possible that someone is *not* around the next corner? This server is basically a Q3 DM server with an objective, given the short spawn times. I've been back-raged before and come out on top, sometimes not, it's all a matter of skill + luck.

Also, there are typical spots people defend, the murder hole entrance, upper base, basement, war room, etc. If you need someone to tell you where people are my guess is you're going to lose the 1v1 or 1vN because you lack the common sense to have learned where people are to begin with.

If the server were less populated I would see this as being an issue, but 40-50 people...not many places you can truly be alone.

While your sarcasm is notable, it doesn't pertain to this situation as it is not able to be proven and really meaningless.

Actually, I was talking about libel. Regardless, I apologize for saying that. I made an assumption based on the tone of Militants noob conquest stories, which he loves to tell. Normally he provides ss' of his accusers, so I felt no reason to question his credibility, especially since you're an admin. I really have no beef w/ you parrot, other than that hideous ping or your lag-cheats. But I guess there's prob no fun UK servers, thats not hard to believe. cheers! :beer:
