Fast Switching weapons glitch or hack?

CentralPOW · July 2012

So I was playing gm as ghost, and I noticed a low ranking player with 8-0 on GR side. Usually that is a hacker, but he wasn't making it obvious. When I looked at the replay I noticed that he kept switching from m16,to deagle, to axe in a VERY fast motion(repeatedly) and for particularly no reason.

I didn't notice in-game, but I have seen this before in a TD replay which that guy was also in ACE and low rank.

Is it a hack or a replay glitch? I'm personally thinking it's a bot making those fast alternations.

Either way, it's probably a good idea to use the support and report. It's not like you will be penalized for reporting, right?

*EDIT* Oh, and make sure by the off chance that during that game, that you nor the player was lagging at the time.

it's just a cool thing to do

I just want to know if it's a hack or not so I can tell whether that guy was really hacking or not. Personally, I'd rather know who are the hackers cause most likely they'll stick around for weeks and months. It gives me a heads up.

While playing in GM? I'm pretty sure a person with 8/0 would not be screwing around switching weapons cause they'd most likely try to listen for footsteps/breath than their gun/pistol/axe noises.

Just involves using the mouse wheel to switch weapons.
One can switch between their weapons really fast with the mouse wheel, but they still need to wait for the weapons pullout time to finish to use them.

Score isn't a indicator of hacking, many players achieve scores like 21/0 easy in GM on GR.
Best way to tell if they are legit or hack is to see if they react to ghost behind them.

Hacks don't use sound and won't notice the ghost, but legit players using sound will turn around if not distracted by another ghost.

There is a hack which reduces the delay time to 0.

Best thing to do is to report, just in cause.

It's called "Q" button or mouse wheel.

Would would want a hack to switch weapons anyway.

more than likely not a hack. Weapons actually switch faster if you have a better ping too. I noticed that after the UK servers came along.
