The Regular Player Vs The Cheater

I have noticed that the regular player has a big advantage over cheaters in fps games. After doing a lot of research on aimbots, things like -autobot, -autowall, -knifebot, -autozoom, -2d radar... give the cheater away. Most cheaters do not want to be caught cheating so they improvise and use fewer features which causes them to be a less effective player. The responce time of a regular player can be faster than a cheater trying to make it look as if he doesn't already know your location in a game of team death match on call of duty (cheaters who just let their aimbot shoot for them are more than likely going to get caught and banned). Knowing how to use your mini map effectively and staying focused is my big secrets (not so secret anymore lol). I play call of duty a lot and I usually get the top or second highest score in every game I play. I don't use any cheats therefor I think of myself as a elite call of duty player. >=]

I always thought hacks were just trollbait, because it doesn't make the game fun.

You're one of the elites, eh? Reliably coming in 1st or 2nd when you're playing pubs? Good luck on the professional circuit. I'll be rooting for you when I see your name moving through the esports circuit.

As for cheaters and hackers, when it comes to multiplayer games it's less about winning and more about ruining someone else's good time. They don't cheat to win, they cheat to make everyone else lose.

Well there are cheaters on every game but at the moment Day Z is by far the worse. I dont think I have ever being on a sever without a cheater/hacker on it.

Professional circuit? I'm not for sure what you're talking about sir. I only play call of duty for my own entertainment. If cheaters are more less ruining someone else's good time and cheating to make everyone else lose, it sounds to me like you are referring to them as bullies. I however believe there are more people concerned about improving their gameplay, but as I said earlier, the regular player has a big advantage over cheaters.

Funny how you say this, as I dealt with a cheater today while playing CS:GO. He only used either an AK, M4, and Dual Elites. He got headshots every time with the AK, and with the M4 when he bothered to use it. I pointed it out to others, but they didn't care.
I'm not sure about how it is in DayZ, except for a couple of gameplay videos, but I've encountered my fair share of hackers. I'm just startled someone managed to hack GO real quickly.

the fact that a "professional" circuit for computer games even exists is asinine beyond compare...

I noted that cheaters who let their aimbot shoot for them are more than likely going to get caught and banned... Most cheaters don't use their aimbots because it majorly exposes them. Idk if you were playing on a VAC-secured server or not or why steam says its not necessary to report cheaters playing on a VAC-secured server because I have seen a lot of cheats on them...

I don't think I was on a VAC server; it was a custom map and voting was disabled to all but admins. But thanks for the info. Went back and reported him for cheating.
