Don't just press F to respawn when you die for many reasons. You get to see how you died and where the person killed you from. If it is a hacker you will notice the snap of the crosshairs.

On PC, it seem to me there's lots of deaths. When someone goes 59 2, please take about 3 min to look at theater right after the match or bookmark it for later. If you were wrong about hacking, you get to learn some tricks.


Pay attention to the kill feed. What type of kills are being reported? Headshots?


On hardcore mode, expect someone to be hacking and again watch the theaters at the slightest bit of suspicion.


Always use the in game report if you suspect someone is cheating.

trigger bots = gun only fires when cross hairs cross over an enemy, aimbot = automatically 100 percent lock on to target(s) without missing. walls = tracking target perfectly through a wall or multiple walls. thats the basic 3 there are many more im sure.

Thanks guys I don't want to report anyone unless I know for sure I know there just some people who are really good at the game but the aimbot is the one I think someone was using I will check out theater mode. He had a high kd ratio like 13.00 and seemed like every shot was a head shot

Report. You don't have to be 100% sure. The reviewers will look at it and make a decision

After the match, there will be an action report. At the button will be the bookmark tab

A lot of times they aren't cheating. It's the amazing amount of lag compensation this games has that makes sure you're already on their screen while they are not on yours. In other words, you appear to be around the corner already for them and you see yourself get shot through walls.

Correct.
As well, there are some players which pre fire corners or doors. Usually they do not hack.
But when you see the follows you behind walls you will know.
Just remeber, there is no one who check each and every corner, side, doors etc.
if he do that and suprisingly find an enemy always behined corners and covers, well thats strange. you need to check it.

Remember to not type anything in chat though. If the cheater is not really obvious, people will react with "But he is ... - ..." (his stats), and call you a crying kid. What a lovely community :^)

«Mr.pigrond» gave a pretty good explanation of the three main types of cheats. One thing to take into consideration is that not all cheaters are blatent. There are aimbots out there which don't snap, but will turn quickly to look like the player is good. And this is where it gets complicated.

Look for accuracy and irregular gameplay in theater mode. Even the best players miss shots. Remember, hits aren't always registered, but a cheater will still be on the opponent where a good player will break off opponents every once in awhile. The same goes for wallhacks. They might not be tracking an opponent with the crosshair over the enemy, but is the opponent always right when choosing where to guard? Do they aim down sites and prefire on some corners and manage to get kills whereas other corners they blatently run around them (and happen to have no enemies)? This is where it becomes irregular gameplay. Good players will be consistent typically on their tactics throughout maps. Many "smarter" cheaters will not be consistent, but they're still easily spottable in theater mode (whereas the death cam won't help you).

My general rule of thumb is if a player keeps a consistent 5+ kdr through 3 maps, watch the theater.

Some great points made by all, remember though, if they have a ban already, they can't be trusted. Most will say it was my friend, it is a mistake I only tried it once. There seem to be more & more getting more than one ban. Cheaters cheat & that is true, a lot of people defend them saying it is so many days since their ban. Yes but they lost it before so I think they will again. There are supposed to be servers being released, unranked but dedi all the same. If they are look for servers where they do check to make sure someone is cheating before they ban. Most clans will watch before they ban anyway. This way you know if a cheater does play on that server they will be watched banned & you can enjoy your gaming.
