If You Use A Monitor-based Aimpoint, You Are A CHEATER

[Caelib]

I really wish monitor manufacturers would stop putting these built-in, aimpoints into their hardware because it is essentially allow people to cheat in games like HLL that do not provide an aimpoint.

It's really easy to spot these guys using them who run-and-gun/hipfire constantly with laser-aim from up to 50 meters ... you will RARELY see them ADS because while it does provide more accuracy, it just isn't necessary and slows them down when they can already see where all their bullets are going with the cheat-based aimpoint.

If you use one or anything else that show the aimpoint in game that doesn't natively gives this to all players ... you're a cheater in the same way as somebody who downloads ESP/wallhack cheat software.

People have painted dots with ink on their screens ever since gaming became a thing. However, does it turn the tide of the battle in a game like HLL? I don't believe so. Recoil and random hitmarks unless you aim won't make you a skilled no-scoper here. I guess you could spray a gun up-close a bit better, but bruh, I do that without any dot.

It doesn't turn the tide of battle, but it does make a difference. I have called people out on it and they say "it's not cheating", but it clearly is if the game specifically do not give you an aimpoint and you're using some other means of adding one.

are you gonna ♥♥♥♥♥ about ppl that have been playing long enough to eye center next?

Does it make you feel uncomfortable to get called out or something?

Comparing someone having a physical dot in their middle of their monitor (something that doesn't make you better in any way, shape, or form considering hipfire is generally very inaccurate in this particular game) to actual hacks tells me you don't realize how little that physical dot makes any meaningful difference.

Also how the hell would you know if they're using a physical dot or not? Because they hipfired you one time? It takes no time to get used to where the center of your screen is.

[i dont want to be around anymore]

I gave the dot a try because of this thread, just to test. it doesn't really give advantage because hipfire is not consistently at the middle. It seems like they use Red Orchestra style 'where the gun is pointing is where the hipfire will go' mechanic, but I could be wrong about that specific thing. And it makes ironsights less effective.

That was the Map we played for training hipshooting many times a week. It was made by a french guy from Hell Soldiers as far as i can remember. One thing i loved about Red Orchestra times.

i think someone just got salty after being shot in the head one too many times

i don't have one lol. as the guy above mentioned, you're prob salty cause you got blown away by someone you're convinced had one. when infact he probably just eyed center, as it's really not hard

People have been doing the dot,turning up gamma,turning down graphics, altering code, making bots,and setting up macros to do everything for them since forever.
Try hard gamers are gonna use every trick and exploit they can find and will spend weeks trying to find them. There is literally no mmo you van find to stop that. You might as well ask for PCs to be banned.

I've never heard of this, i thought putting a dot or sticker on the center of your screen was a meme for extreme tryhards.

Seriously it's super easy to hipfire why would anyone bother with this? Wouldn't it be super annoying?

No it`s not and believe me, i thought the same and was thinking about a joke. last year i bought a new monitor and discovered this function on the modern models. As far as i know even my one "Gigabyte M27Q" has this feature but i don`t use this sh**t. Just bought it because of it`s very good color fastness they said in all test.

Imagine how butthurt you have to be to even think about it like that, not to mention complaining about this kind of nonsense *facepalm*
Grow up OP.

It's kind of sad people even bother to do stuff like that but i guess manufacturers are smart enough to see the demand and just add it as another option to gain the upper hand when someone is considering a new monitor.

I just don't understand why someone would bend the rules of the game like that instead of just get used to how it is, it's the same as completely turning up the gamma and brightness to practically have nightvision in other games.

Perhaps some people are so very insecure or lacking love in their home lives that they have to spoil their immersion and enjoyment in order to 'win'. In a game that is not really dependent on kills as a valuable winning metric, it's even more sad than usual.

Couldn't the developers have the gun able to move about within a deadzone so that it was never pointing at the middle of the screen at any one time, forcing the use of the sights or having to at least judge where the gun barrel is pointing?
