2 news games : 61 % with 20 impressives, and 70 % with 6 impressives.

100% cheater - no doubt now! Send demo over the support@quakelive.com and alert the Government

u got spooked

lol

also, donuts

My opinion is the percentage and amount of impressives don't mean much. On paper that is "good aim". In some of my matches I've handicapped myself and reached ~50 impressives. These are times when my rail is extraordinary and have been accused before of toggling, but what matters is how the rails connect, how strange or unbelievable they are. A good cheater can mask his cheating and may not be caught for a long time or ever so it's all very difficult. Bottom line if you really believe someone is a cheater don't play with them.

I decided not to play him any longer. But lol i am not sure he is a cheater this is why i didn't wrote a mail to support@idsoftware.

For me his accuracy is not normal. But usually it is easy rails.
Maybe i should stop to play that game. This is like playing chess online (you never know if 100 % is human moves).

His aim is better than his FFA skill that's for sure. His movement is lacking, his timing is nonexistent and I really don't believe he's cheating. If you notice nearly every rail shot he is either jumping or strafing to the left or to the right. Someone who is botting wouldn't need to do that. He's jumping or strafing in one direction to simplify the shot which is something a human would do. I don't know your skill but I think with some practice you could easily defeat him in FFA. He's relying on powerups for most of his frags. Try to deny the quad and time the red armor and you should be able to beat him. Before loadouts were a thing you could have made it hard for him to get the railgun but now you can spawn with one most maps. I know for a fact I'd beat him. I'm not great at FFA but good enough to have a ~75% win percentage. He's under 30% so I suggest you just take my advice and start beating him regularly.

He is winning more than 50 % of FFA games nowdays.

I am not complet beginner. My (supposed) FFA Rating is 2465 elo with 169 games played. 61 % of wins. 52% accuracy with rail.
But come on, he is so far better than me with that gun. It is humiliating to be railed by this guy.
Dodge doesn't help. I want to know because i saw others guys without skill doing amazing accuracy too.
It is like a new cheat in fact.

Good play beats good aim all the time. If you are consistently getting armors his chances are not as good. If you challenge him for quad he is less likely to have a good run. Try getting quad and using shotgun or lightning. Seems like him beating you has crippled your mental game a little. Trust me he looks pretty vulnerable many times in demo. With less armors and less powerups he will have a much harder time winning. Anyway good luck.

50 % win-ratio is nothing in FFA, especially nowadays.

50 % win-ratio is nothing in FFA : OK

but 100 % of games with l33t % of rail in the main topic here.

He won't hit that consistent rail if you actually try to dodge. Look at the video; he's basically shooting plants.

This is just one video. I am going to record others more impressives.
Wait and see.

God, you really are clueless.

I'm assuming he started to get good at FFA (with rail) only quite recently ? That could just be some try hard dude who's just playing a lot and his practice method finally paid off after all these years playing quake, at least in FFA.

~3000 FFA games and ~3000 CA. 2.5+ months of time played. Started to play in 2010. I play a quite a lot and i only have 3+ months of time played. But i started playing quakelive in 2008... So yeah he's playing a lot.

~60% rail is possible in FFA tbh, especially on pub servers. I mean he's probably just a rail whore that figured out how to use the rail efficiently in FFA. Ok I have to admit 79% is a bit suspicious tho. But i did not watch the demo.

also, k1llsen would probably hit consistent 75% on pub FFA :) or maybe 60%+ but with most damage done.

what about his movements ? and other weapon ? good ? shit ? average ? Does he at least seems to play FFA smartly, I mean is he just "i take the rail, and rail rail rail" kind of guy ?

if his movements are bad and he plays FFA like instagib then yeah could be suspicious.

gonna watch the demo i guess

He sucks at rocket jump. His movements are averages.
His ping is usually around 30.

Only 19% rail use (stats are since Nov. 06, 2010).
But nowadays he seems to use all times rail as main weapon in FFA.
So confident, he uses that on close fight.

Watching the demo is weird. Nothing special, and sometime he miss easy rail.

hah saw demo. terrible movement and he can beat 2465 elo player?

demo say everything

Anon/10

You do realize that 2465 in FFA in itself is like 1500, right? : D

More like 1400

Well, yeah, but I wanted to be forgiving.

actually more like 1100: http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/Spooky2

No.

You can be reasonable in FFA while sucking in duel.

both is very relative.
you could say spooky2 is reasonable in ffa, but definitely suck at duel. :D

Which I said.


reasonable =/= good

It's possible he may have a toggle, but there's not enough evidence.

He hardly has a 'k1llsen rail'. K1llsen plays with much better opponents who can dodge and he doesn't play FFA. If K1llsen was to play in this game, I would expect to see at least 80 percent rail.

I banned a FFA guy last week. The guy was using rail ONLY. But i noticed after 2 or 3 games he started hitting very hard with the rail, 60%+, then i died a few times but still wong by a very high marging, then he switched to LG and guess what : 80%+ LG :D

HE does not know how to strafe, he accused me of cheating. I noticed a lot of cheater are cheating because they think others are cheating too.

Nontheless other players defended me and saw he was cheating, i sent the demo to idsoftware and he got banned within 2 days.

The amount of TOTAL noobs using aimbot and rail only in FFA is quite high this days. They still manage to lose tho :D

Ask the guy to switch to LG just after hiting a rail to see...

the aim skill required, to hit rails like he does there in BS FFA with 12+ players, is not higher than to browse the web for 10mins.

this.

if he polak then he cheater

someone has uploaded the demo on youtube here :

http://www.youtube.com/embed/pkLPVOrHoDU?autoplay=1

not cheating

Nothing special, including opponents.

Not cheating, at least in this video. You can see how he's varying him mouse movement trying to predict opponent's position (wich usually is walking forward or backward, btw), the way he misses some easy rails, how he syncronize movement with aiming to stabilize it, etc.

this doesnt seem unlegit.
This is FFA and the rail isnt that impressive at all. Besides he is missing some. Movement is not that bad...

I agree, his rail is not impressive at all :

Lasts 9 games played for example :

- 61 % with 20 impressives
- 70 % with 6 impressives.
- 66 % rail with 20 impressives
- 59 % rail with 20 impressives
- 79 % rail with 19 impressives
- 59 % rail with 4 impressives
- 55 % rail with 11 impressives
- 63 % rail with 15 impressives
- 59 % rail with 14 impressives

OK !

looks like someone smurfing against new players who don't dodge

This dude has been around for a long time:

I remember him from ictf ( where you would shoot rail for constant 20 minutes, and where ppl somewhat know to dodge rail)

Comparing to that, it is easy to get 50+ rail acc. I am total tdm noob, i have negative rating(!!!) and yet on some pickup games I get up to 60% rail acc. It really is that easy.

http://ictf-stats.com/matches/details/ctf_33d...9031fd90_1

his overall acc is bit lower:
https://i.imgur.com/g590CLE.png

but, this are stats for ictf, 20 minutes games. Comparing to this FFA and 50+ acc is normal.

He doesnt cheat

-hes been around for a long while.
-he improved at a normal pace. in FFA he usually loses to any decent player though (Every 1700+ dueler should manage)
-He doesnt aim with his mouse. He uses strafeaim almost exclusively. No tracking like a bot would
-his opponents dont dodge
-(he uses hmg)

we'll never know.

His lightning is only 31%.
I never saw good railer with such low lightning accuracy.

Something is wrong with this guy.

You see account acc for lg and last 10 matches acc for rail.
Nice try.

Look his account since 2010 too :

46 % rail accuracy, and 31 % lg accuracy

31 % is clearly nothing, except if you play 1v1 and guys like k1llsen are close to 40 %.

And lightning is more easy than rail.

Doing sometime 37 % with lg is normal (his last games).
Not doing close to 60 % all the time now with rail.

If you play your first quake's year with total noob setting (most of all something like 4cm sens) it's quite easy to have 20% lg acc and 35% rail, beacuse with rail you can take flick shot. Then you improve but it's not so strange that the difference remains pretty the same.
In my account I have 32% lg and 43% rail but I play 4k ca and 1k ffa, spooky2 2.8k ca and 3.3k ffa and in ffa it's easier to hit rail.

Plenty of people have high accel/high sens setups that make railing really easy at the cost of lg being a little tougher.

Yes, this guy is cheater.

Thank :)

Ignore him. Always crying and insulting people when he can't win. He basically thinks everybody is a cheater who is better than him. Not to mention he has multiple accounts banned (for whatever reasons). )

pall saying someone is a cheater is like a hypochondriac saying he is sick. Could be correct, but he always says that, so...

What's really puzzling is the fact that pall had very same lines back around 2005. I remember playing some bullshit ffa on playground.ru q3 servers, pall was there with a ping of 150 or something. Something similar to "stupid cheating morons suck" was his standard catch phrase, just like in ql. Who knows how long is this going on.

Now, back around 2005 I just thought that's a poor 8 year old twat who got his sandwiches stolen and is now angry.

Seeing the same stupidity 10 years later one has to wonder if pall has a mental disability.

I don't wonder about that. : D

From that video posted he just looks like a typical strafe aimer against players with poor dodge, which is ideal for someone like him who doesn't seem to mouse aim well. You can see plenty of situations in the video when his reliance on strafe aim causes him to miss shots a lot of people would consider easy. He doesn't make any streaks of difficult shots, he LG's people who are in terrible situations and, assuming they even knew how to, wouldn't be able to dodge him, the times people do try to dodge he misses a fair amount.

Most cheaters have a style of aim that is completely disconnected from their movement, this guys aim is completely sync'd with his movement, after all that's how strafe aim works and he's a prime example of it. If he does cheat, the video doesn't show it.

I agree with u the video shows nothing special (the reason i didn't send the demo to support@quakelive).
But the "Lasts 9 games played" = 63.444444 % with rail is strange somewhat.

o_O

I want to said : "since when we get outaim by him ? since when ?"
He is not a Stermy, or k1llssen. How it is possible ?

Please try to play 9 games in the row with that accuracy...

So IMO he is cheating, maybe a sort of new cheat, i don't know but imagine when his cross are spotted on opponent a sound happen or something.
That make the cheat more natural. Why i seach sometime ? just because this is not human to do such accuracy all the times.

Why are you impressed by that accuracy? He's not hitting it against good players and he's doing it in an environment where a large percentage of shots are against people who are either not actively dodging him or are not capable of dodging effectively.

Had days when the daily average was ~80% with abusing it. So what? lolpub FFA, which is barely played by decent (let alone "good") players since the loadouts update. They reside in private (classic) matches sometimes or just simply playing other modes.

80 % is when a guy is using aimbot.

I never said he uses aimbot. I suspect something else.

No, that was me whom I was talking about, pointing out that hitting high percentages in pub FFA is not an extraordinary feat if you have somewhat decent combat skills.

Let me put it this way, IF he is cheating he still has huge holes in his game and can be easily beaten. You could hit 100% rail in FFA and still lose because it's not a railing competition. Collect your armor(s), get your powerup(s), get your frags and win. Although he is getting quad every time his timing for it is bad, he is sitting on it for over 5 seconds waiting and on any decent server he'd be punished hard for that. No one is even challenging him for it so the server is low skill.

stfu influenz !! :)

still cheating accusations only based on accuracy..

How you detect cheater then ?

SWAT

Don't accuse unless you have solid evidence. You clearly have no idea what you're looking for. Try to find if he is hitting the same part of the hitbox every time and the speed his crosshairs snap to a target. If that's not there then you look for wallhack. It's super difficult to spot a cheat most of the time even if you know what you're looking for. Don't waste your time on this unless you're developing an anticheat. Just focus on playing and improving your own skills, and trying to find out how you can play in this way. Your time would be much better spent practising or trolling.

> Don't accuse unless you have solid evidence.

The title is ----------> : "Is this guy a cheating ?"

I am so accusing people.
Cya noob.

tldr; hes playing newbs, his own plays arent spectacular, he can still be cheating.

the end.

Why is the OP is bothered about accuracy?

I've just flicked through the YouTube video and that spooky guy is playing god awful payers. They barely move and will be extremely easy to hit. I don;t see anything out of the ordinary, or even particularly special about the video - just a run of the mill FFA game.

I assume the reason behind you posting this thread is down to you being railed by spooky at some point or loosing to him?

> I assume the reason behind you posting this thread is down to you being railed by spooky at some point or loosing to him?

Ok you are free to record 9 FFA in a row, by doing 64 % accuracy with rail versus anybody.
An ultra player like u can do that easily.

Now :

85 days ago, he was not able to beat someone higher than 1372 elo :

http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/Spooky2

Hum hum. A miracle happen.

> I assume the reason behind you posting this thread is down to you being railed by spooky at some point or loosing to him?

You know FFA is not like1v1, maybe he just won by 1 or 2 frags and was able to frag others guys more quickly than me lol.
I wasn't railed, exclusively.

That was 85 days ago you pleb. If play semi regularly 85 days is a lot of time.

The high rail accuracies were not versus "anyone". They were against low skill players that barely move. On the video, half of the players weren't even looking directly at him when they got railed.

85 days is plenty of time to get to state whereby you can reliably rail low skilled players - which the video clearly demonstrates. It's run =of the mill FFA play - I saw nothing to that was overly special or our of the norm.

Another reason he got frags was, wait for it .... because he timed quad. No one else on the server seemed to be doing that. Pretty advanced FFA stuff right there.

For the record, I haven't played Quake for over 2 years now.

this game have many cheaters

Tonight I have 30 minutes with a non stable 70-80 ping. I couldn't play a good ca match so I decided to play ffa with rail solo only for you intotherain. I joined the first server I saw (tier4) and the results are: 64% acc and 27 impressive.
Then I left because it was so boring.
(No I'm not stermy and no I'm not cheating)

Omg dude this is impressive.

Hum wait ... no this is just ONE GAME.
Spooky2 do that all the time (so 7, 9, 11 games in a row i don't know exactly), versus any opposition.
I saw him out aiming people like Drejjk in CA for example.

But who care check this :

85 days ago, he was not able to beat someone higher than 1372 elo :

http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/Spooky2

You are good ? you can do that ? i (we) don't care. Just want to know how someone who wasn't good 1 month and half ago can constantly out-aiming people with rail.

Shut the fuck up with your "I'm not accusing anyone" my ass.
Grow the fuck up and l2p, git gud.
At least say "HE IS CHEATING!" and let people laugh at you.
Cheers m8 o/

pacman ? lol what a ridiculous nickname.
sorry i don't want to read your message.

And his mother dresses him funny! And he smells!

so 85 days ago he couldnt' beat 1372 elo in DUEL, and today he wouldn't be able to beat 1372 elo in DUEL either, so what's your point?

Today ? of course he can beats >1600 elo players.

of course? show me the matches then.
you realise that DUEL elo, has nothing to do with FFA elo, yea?

Here's your proof.

http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/spooky2


: D

I second that. You are accusing they guy of cheating - admit it. You sound like someone who got served by him and are now venting on ESR. Focus on getting better yourself and stop getting emotional about a player hitting 60% rail against noobs. It really doesn't matter.

I'm beginning to think you're a troll, no player can be as dim as yourself.

6 years ago i was doing that too :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFBpku37noA

But it was just ONE GAME. This guy do that all the time.
You understand the difference : ALL THE TIME & VERSUS ANYBODY ?.

ALL THE TIME & VERSUS NOBODY

I'm pretty sure its a troll by now. Noone can be this dumb.

leave Peter Noone alone

troll detected ! you are welcome.

Thank !

This is now officially a Tony thread.

No.

:(

What about now?

I shit rainbows.

Tough crowd. :/

As usual.

playing since 1999. hahaha oh wow

WHEN WILL PEOPLE FUCKING LEARN???!?!?!

----Innocent until youtube----

There was YT and still innocent being nothing spectacular. OP is just dense.

ok thanks!

how is this even a thread
rofl

ninox aurora

You can clearly see from this demo that there isint anything peculiar, like too many people have said he is playing against deranged bollards and doesent move his mouse more than 2cm plus his actual mouse aim is pretty much non existent, and we all know how important mouse aim is with lg which would explain why he is rather poor.

Or he could be cheating who knows..

I love how all the morons are like "strafe-aim, means can't be cheating".
Might as well be a trigger bot. But might as well be legit play. We will never know for sure, I guess.

The fact only that there's a thread about this guy + YT AND STILL there's a "debate" is ridiculous enough in itself.

I don't think that 'ridiculous' is the right term. But the debate doesn't make much sense in any case; we simply have no way of (accurately) distinguishing carefully used cheats from actual, legit skills.

Personally I am convinced that there is quite a bit of cheating going on, from LAN proven (ex-)professionals to no-name low tier players. Only the ones who fuck up frequently and obviously are caught, but we can do nothing about the occasional aim-assist, trigger bot or toggle.

Paranoid much?

No. Just better at thinking than you.

Edit: Naive much?

No. You are just coming up with excuses why you suck at the game.

I don't even play the game.
Naive much?

Then you should know, by all means.


))

Your comment doesnt make much sense either.
How do you go from "we have no way of distinguish carefully used cheats" to "personally im convinced there is quite a bit of cheating going on from ex pros to $rand noobs"? It's contradictory.

My comment makes perfect sense. There is nothing contradictory about it.

I observe a room of 100 persons and wonder how many of them have cheated on their significant other: I have no way of telling who the "cheaters" are but I'd be an idiot if i assumed that all of those 100 people are faithful.

Thats a good analogy but it's hardly a linear one. Motivation to cheat in quake and cheat in real life are completely diferent and not comparable in any way. Eitherway, why would you assume anything in the first place? That's what im getting at.

definitely not linear (different motivation and different risks), but it is the same concept (i.e. no contradiction at all in #97).

Basically we have to assume one thing or another: Even if you live your life or play your game pretending that everyone plays by the rules you make an assumption. My assumption ('there are quite a few cheaters') is not useful, but at least it will neither make me naive and oblivious nor will it make me excessively mistrustful and paranoid.

If you're frequently missing easy rails and always jumping/strafing when you're shooting then the likelihood of a bot being used is low. It's just not typical but it doesn't rule out cheating altogether. If this guy is cheating there are more serious and more blatant cases elsewhere. Out of all the current cheaters needing a ban I'd say Spooky is low priority. What threat is a cheater if the cheater can be easily beaten? He plays the role of a player who sometimes wins tier 3 FFA shit better call syncerror.

What threat is a cheater if the cheater can be easily beaten?

1) There is no threat if a cheater can be easily beaten.
2) Cypher can beat all players (except himself) easily.

Conclusion:
The only possible threat would be cypher cheating.

Is this what you were trying to say?

I wouldn't say anything Cypher does is easy. That discredits his dedication as a champion. No pro players should be mentioned in this thread. Spooky is nowhere near that skill level. Cheaters do not belong in the game but when they're so bad that only via cheating are they relevant in tier 3 do they even disturb the game? Spooky is loosely Xaero- decent rails with little intelligent thought. Are you threatened by Xaero? Unless a new demo surfaces showing more skill I couldn't care less. As for now he's decent practice for anyone in tier 3 FFA. Someone who cheats has no integrity and they will quit sooner or later. Humilated in defeat, hollow in victory- a self defeating journey.

nice try dodging the argument.

.

you did a good job with your first comment on this 'vendetta'. everything after this was to be expected.. a whole load of bullshit (doubts) and you worded it nicely once more...

don't bother. esr was never the right place to spread useful info. its here to have a laugh, which we got, but dont waste your time any further trying to convince anyone of logical thoughts. the <90iq fish bite fast!

the point you made about not trusting everyone out of 100 people shoulda sufficed. but no... not here :D maybe some day people will start to extemporize their habits and not believe anything random people show em :)

He did a good job at being a pedantic smartass completely missing the point of this specific case.

I might be a pedantic smartass but thats still better than being a cock gobbling douchebag with an loud opinion but zero arguments to back it up.

This cock gobbling douchebag - you have guessed it by now - is you.

"still better than being a cock gobbling douchebag with an loud opinion but zero arguments to back it up"

isn't that precisely what you have, a loud opinion (or assumption) with no arguments to back it up (eventhough you have no way of proving things you assume things only because things can happen but not necessarily are happening)?

read #102 again.

...?

do you still think that #102 is correct (i.e. there is a contradiction in #100)?

There was a contradiction in #100. You can't say "We have no way of proving X" and then say "I'm convinced X happens from top to bottom tiers, we just see the ones that fuck up and get caught". Or technically you can, but it shows a huge bias on your part, kinda resembling "still better than being a cock gobbling douchebag with an loud opinion but zero arguments to back it up", wich is precisely what you are calling other people. In short, you assume things out of principle despite having no way of proving or demonstrating them, when instead you should assume exactly NOTHING from the get go without any kind of information. Using your example, you can walk in the room assuming everyone is cheating on eachother, no one cheating on eachother, some cheating on eachother or you can walk in the room assuming nothing without knowing the people first. And that was my point.

Oh yea what did you contribute? You just statet that you never know whether someone is not cheating. Wow what an unexpected surprise. So the only thing you are upset about is that people conclude that spooky is not a cheater . However, based on the evidence this is certainy the most reasonable conclusion.

You then seem to lean towards something like everyone's suspicious, because again we couldn't find out. You clearly never heard of the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Maybe you have, but obviously you have never really grasped it.

To sum it up: the principled way to judge spooky is to say he is not cheating. Everything else is pedantic, paranoid and pointless.

So the only thing you are upset about is that people conclude that spooky is not a cheater

kindly point me to the post where i said that? Or are you just making up thinks as you go?

Everything else is pedantic, paranoid and pointless.

Only in your tiny world.
Cheating is an issue in online gaming and the issue will continue to grow if the main focus in every debate is to wave around your e-penis by claiming "this can not be cheat, because I am better than him".

Thus all the "no cheat, because noob", "no cheat, because strafe aim", "no cheat, because generic reason" arguments are indeed part of the problem: not because they say "no cheat" but because they are logical fallacies.

I love how all the morons are like "strafe-aim, means can't be cheating".
Might as well be a trigger bot. But might as well be legit play. We will never know for sure, I guess.

Here. Yes he might be triggering for a split second within 10mins. Does that mean you are a moron if you conclude that he is innocent? I don't think so. Quite the contrary.

to the E-penis thing. You have to look at this specific case. Op simply seemed deluded as to what is humanly possible and what is not. It can't be bad to make clear that his Performance is definately not unhuman and that it alone is certainly NOT a reason to assume he's cheating.

Lol. That does not say that I'm upset with people thinking he's innocent. It's not even close...

If you think that "strafe aim" or "noob" is a guarantee for "no cheat" you are a moron. It doesn't get simpler than this.

Yea people who are paranoid idiots think everyone's suspicious. It doesn't get simpler than that...

You should be more specific in your statements. Who said strafe aim is a guarantee for no cheat?

What is Occam's Razor?

2) Cypher can beat all "t3" players easily.

razer synapse its a crime

you have this nick, but it seems you're a dumbass

Wow you spent an entire afternoon thinking about someone?
