What is and what is not a hack. A guide for the misinformed.

i agree with this thread. 100%
Most noobs don't understand anything about educated (logic) shooting.
it really annoys me. cause i can't shoot a well known hiding spot from far away and not get kicked or called a hacker just because i know every noob goes there. -
I have had enough of people getting called hackers in every single game I join. In an average day I play a rough 15 games, 14 games someone was called a hacker but in only 4 someone was actually hacking. I understand the nature of programing slightly more than the average person and I can see clearly what is and what is not a hack ( plus you can find videos on youtube of how they work ). I will try to explain in the best way possible what is and what is not a hack to hopefully reduce this extremely large amount of ignorance for a person's skill.

Pro tip - If someone is hacking it is VERY obvious.
Things out of the ordinary like 30-0 score, getting only gold headshots ( Gold headshots means you hit in the center of the head ), running at the speed of light and killing full heath mutants in one shot. Please try to think before you start QQing about someone "hacking".
Common terms referring to hacking-
Wall hack/waller - A hack that lets you see people through walls, normally is packaged with aimbots.
Aimbot - A hack that aims for you with perfect aim. Will normally go for the head ( due to it being a program expect only gold headshots ).

FAQ -
-ZOMG, he got headshot from across the map omg hack!
Not really a question but it is not hack unless EVERY single kill the guy gets is a headshot and kills with no delay ( meaning no misses or waiting a few seconds ) but even so that is not a full proof system. Good players of this game specialize in single-shotting and aiming for the head with guns that can 1-hit kill headshot. Videos of these good players show this, most of their kills are threw headshots.
- I shot up this guy but I didn't do any damage, hack!11!!
This is not a hack, this is lag. Press tab and look at the scoreboard. All the way on the right you will see "status". This is the players ping or connectivity to the server. The lower number the better. People with high pings (debatable I say 150+ while others say 200+ ) usually have hitbox problems ( both ways, people will have hard times hitting you and vice versa ) . If your ping is over 200 you are probably in the wrong server. Crossfire has 3 server locations North US, South US and UK. Go to the server that is closest to you and you should have better pings.
- The second this guy turned a corner he shot me, z0mg waller!
Common mistake, people who are good at the game are aware of their surroundings. They will check corners and frequent camp spots.
- This guy headshot me in ghost mode! zomg hack!
In ghost mode remember that you are not completely invisible. If you move you become transparent and you will always breath REALLY heavily. Many people can become paranoid when they head the breathing and start spraying everything and with any kind of luck the first bullet could ways hit you.
- This guy is sitting inside a pillar at Egypt, HACK!
This IS a hack...in most cases. Some in-game glitches let you fall threw walls or the floor by getting your character to "spaz" threw them ( aka getting stuck on something then trying to get the glitchy motion to put you threw a wall ), but in most cases this is a hack.

What to do when you encounter a REAL hacker -
From what I seen most real hackers will not talk, not full proof but it is a common behavior. Before you go call them a hacker, make sure you know they are a hacker. If you are getting killed right after spawn in eagle eye S&D, its pretty obvious, but if the person is just a good aimer, wait for awhile and watch their kills.
When you are absolutely sure they are a hacker, accuse them but do it politely and in good grammar. Doing this makes you just look smarter. Say this "*person* is inside the wall could you kick him please?*" over "hack kik" when they are on the other team. If they are on your team kick them and inform everyone else, hopefully they can put forth the effort to press a button.
Pro tip - Arguing with someone over the internet over a topic such as this makes both of you look like idiots. If a person is quick to start throwing out f-bombs, it usually means that their personality is jerkish. Treat them like trolls, DON'T feed them.
Well that is basic hacker identification 101. If you have any questions about a scenario that you were in or just need to know if something is a hack or not and you can't figure it out I will try my best to answer it.
Very good guide :eek:STICKY PLZ! -

30 - 0 isn't exactly a hacking score.
I've gone 50-0 numerous times in Egypt pubs. Just either camp with the AWP from spawn, or you can just rush with the M4 and aim for the head. My brother and I have EXP weekends, where we just find a noob server, with players who can't do anything with their guns, and technically farm on them.

Meh, pros blur the lines people draw out on what a hack is and is not, for example, you see Blindrob getting 1Deag 8k+ streaks, not a hack. You see some randy with a low rank 1shotting with an AK-74, that's a hack.
What I do to figure out if someone hacks or not, is by just looking at their rank. What idiot in their right mind would hack on their Captain ranked account, seriously? However, if they're still in the lower 4 ranks, (trainee, private, corporal, sergeant) you might want to reconsider.
BTW, should be in Guides, not Barracks.
People like you are plain ret@rded I've seen high ranked players and players who bought ZP (could been surveys but mostly not) and they hack... they even sometimes say they do and don't give a sh1t because they will only get 7 day ban or something like it but never perm and damn after all this time I'm starting to believe it.
I've seen so much unfair kicking of players and so much players that should have gotten kicked it could give me a life long trauma and depression
I have even been in numerous clans and in those clans there were players hacking and admitting they hack and not caring. This is why I decided to be clanless cause there are a few hackers in almost every clan (not saying every clan but there are in alot, the leaders can't really control or check every player anyway in the bigger clans and I can't blame them if you have over 20 members there is bound to be a hacker) I've seen and read the proof myself over and over again. :'(
(so clanless ftw hehe )
I'm +1 for ranked servers though cause its either really high level or really low level players that use hacks so with my mid level rank I will have the least trouble with hackers
And the really high level good players that don't hack won't bother me either lol
