First time UKCS forum poster, long time CS and UKCS public server player, formally Source now the excellent CS:GO....really loving the game so far, the Steam Forum trolls were wrong thankfully imo! Anyway I felt compelled to post tonight after a minute ago on UKCS GO #1.
Here's the scene, some guy is hoggin the mic, acutally sod it, his name was Quantative Teasing, (nice name actually). Anyway I went about my business playing the game and headshotting some noobs
joke. But from the instant I join, this guy is asking everyone their rates and such saying for example "Oh your not using old CS:Source rates, jesus no wonder your score is so high!" he said to some guy with 10-5 score.....this immediately ticks me off but I say nothing.We play a little more and now he's going on about how CS:GO is apparently WAY easier to hack now, compared to Source. I'm thinking Source was hardly difficult to hack, I'm not sure you could get more easy than easy?...... I let it go again anyway...
But It starts to become clear that this guy challenges people in the server who have a slightly positive score......hes not so obvious to outright accuse someone but he does it in a sly way....another one of his quotes to an admittedly decent score 29-5 "You should give this up and make millions at CS if your "that good"......ggrrrr!!!!
I wouldnt mind if he was saying this in a slightly positve way, but everything he's saying is isinsinuating that someone has an unfair advantage, hence their good score. Infact he was insinuating that hacking was RIFE in CS:GO. So I decide I cant take this, I'm going to challenge / educate this guy!!!
One of my arguments and this sounds big headed I know, but please dont take it that way. If hacking was RIFE how come I normally top my team each map, and I dont hack one little bit? I got no response and I know it sounds cheeky but the point is strong.
Predictably it ends up in a bit of a war me typing, and him on the mic (unfair battle already hehe)... ugly swear words are exhanged and it ends after a while. I actually made a mistake during the argument, that made me look silly (annoyingly) where I misheard some of his bull****, but generally speaking I was 100% justified to stand up to his tosh......even more annoyingly some dude pipes up on his side - THE INJUSTICE OF IT ALL!!!
hahaNow I know that many of you are probably reading this and thinking, just ignore him, but you know what this guy was so clear in his convictions that I thought not this time buddy, no, im not going to do that when someone is clearly not cheating and is just playing well. You may have guessed that I have an agenda in this and I do.....
I would consider myself a pretty decent player (sounds big headed right, but I'm not particularly proud of myself but its a fact) and as a result I am often top of the server, many times I have a score in the region of 29-5 for example. Come the end of the month though I usualy average 2.15 kpd at the end of it, alright, but I know I can do better.....but it is extremely annoying when you get the odd person who comes on and says your cheating in some way, especially so if they bang on about it!
I know in life your always going to get someone trying to knock you if your doing well at something, its probably jealousy, or lack of experience (predictably this guy in question could barely get more kills than deaths) thats always the way, but I say stand upto them and defend yourself, and others if you know the person in question isnt hacking. If you cant tell then fair enough, but I can tell you now I know and you probably do as well when there is a hacker on, and it isnt very often. To me they stand out like a sore thumb, it might be that ive played the game too long but I can tell 100% if someone is hacking or if someone if just skilled.
I remember as a 1.6 player I was in a clan, and we was in the Enemy Down premier league table.....we were good, and we would beat most teams.....but there were some who would make us look so poor it was laughable, we could barely take a round off them. I used to think how can they be that good, how is it possible, they must cheat!!.....then we played a couple of these guys at a LAN and they did it live of course....we saw in person that some people are just that good. Once we realised this we became better ourselves, because we accepted the facts and worked harder!
Its because of examples like the above that I thought I would do the guy a favour, and make him realise that good players do exsist, it didnt work out well but I think you should tell people the cold hard truth sometimes.
By the way I know this is just a game, and its something you shouldnt get worked up over, but annoying I love this game and when you get people who talk like they know what they are talking about its annoying......so annoying you put up a post about it! I hope that some of you after reading will stick up for my fellow skilled players out there, but I doubt it, especially if they keep headshotting you!
Thanks for reading......cue the classic type replys "this guy needs a whisky" and "this guy needs a girlfriend" .....to which I reply I have had a whisky tonight, and my gf is calling me to "finnish playing on the computer!"
