To the Hacks who say 'I have headphones!'

We've all seen them. The hackers in GM that know exactly where the ghosts are, but who manage to not be kicked because they say "No hack! I'm using headphones!" This letter is for them:

Dear n00bs,
It's pretty obvious that you're hacking. No one is skilled enough to be able to insta-pinpoint from 30+ feet. Headshots on ghosts that are crouching just hurts you. So what lame-ass excuse do you give your teammates? "I have headphones." Let me tell you why that is complete BS....

Headphone's power: As much as we may wish there were headphones that would let you hear ghost's breath from anywhere on the map, they simply do not exist. You'd need several thousand dollars worth of MASSIVE speakers, which definitely would not fit on your head.

Your ears: Your ears are delicate instruments. They cannot handle extremely loud sounds.

Volume: IF you somehow found a pair of speakers that would let you hear very faint ghosts, they would shatter your eardrums, windows, monitor, and/or other things in your house as soon as someone:
  • Shot
  • Threw a Nade
  • Sent a radio message
  • Blew up the C4
  • Won the match
  • Killed you
Also, assuming you're some kind of superbeing and survived that, the police would be very interested in the sounds coming from your house.

Background noise: No enviornment is TOTALLY silent. Even if it was, your teammates will be making plenty of noise. It is impossible to pick out ghost's breathing with all that noise.

Breath down: Regardless of it being "fair", some ghosts have it. It just makes all the above even truer.

So, enjoy that perma ban, and on your next account, don't say "I have headphones!"...

Well I use headphones, does this qualify myself and others to become part of these so called hackers?
I use headphones myself, hence I know the limitations. I'm attacking the hacker's defense, not attacking headphone users or accusing people of hacking.
