Skill or Cheating?

I got accused 3 times the last 2 days in Monster Hunter 3.
Once for dodging an attack in the most awesome way. Last second, actually by leaping towards a monster.
The second time for just owning a Bolt Axe(Available off line after about 50 hours of questgrinding) on a newbie server.
The third time for knowing where a monster went after it left an area. Just pay attention. Sheesh.
But I think I found out why whilst typing: Being experienced on a newb server.
I've almost finished the off line game, but only just started online, where your offline efforts don't matter.
Obviously this is not all, but this is just 2 days of vacation.

That is the one thing I hate about kill cams, it is really hard to tell with some kills that are borderline sketchy, you don't know if they had a UAV or if they caught you out of a corner of their eye or if they really are cheating...LordCuthberton said:
OT: Every time I get a nuke in MW2 people automatically go OMG HAX, and then half my team responds lol no...mostly likely because im giddy with joy and express it on my mic when I reach the nuke and encourage everyone to go nuts the remaining time of the match.
Alot of times when me and my squad are DOMINATING through the enemy base in BC2 we get hate messages saying we are cheating. In fact someone last night told me to leave the game or he would Hack my xbox account. I send him this message: "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
Soul Calibur 4 i was accused of cheating because I impacted nearly every attack and got 2 critical finishes in 1 match
A couple times in BFBC2, mostly for ridiculous headshot ranges.
All the fuckers have to do is move, then I'm hopeless...

Yes, I've got a pair of $200 gaming headsets, but I don't always use them. I usually use them when I'm playing with my clan though.LordCuthberton said:
What he said. By the way, anyone can use an aimbot??? I thought that was a hack.I am Omega said:
Anyway, cheating can have a wide range of definitions; if you hide in a rock a shoot people who run by but they can't shoot you because bullet penetration can't penetrate rock then you are cheating. <glares angerly at Fuel map from MW2; the rock glitch> But if you find a little nook in the arena that anyone can get into simply then that is NOT cheating.
<Karachi map from MW2; kinda hard to describe where it is but you know what I'm talking about if you've used it>
I was a pretty good CS player back in the day, playing near the top of the UK's best league. The downside? Playing on public servers was a pain the ****. Constant accusations, usually on the basis of my score rather than doing anything suspicious.
Have the same problem with MW2, but since there's no written chat on the X360, muting the entire server makes sense.
EDIT: Oh, and for using the tanks in CoD: WaW. Seriously, if I saw someone in a tank, a couple of satchels later they were dead. And yet half the people who played that game talked as if they were invulnerable.

If it's in the game, it ain't cheating. The game might require more skill if there was no auto-aim...but it's not like it's a wall hack. It's part of the retail code, for fecks sake.
On TF2 i was a huntsman sniper on 2fort and had just got into a confrontation with the enemy team, i got hit by a pyro but killed him and then everyone noticed that i wasn't getting damaged by afterburn (this confused me too). eventually an admin came on and explained they'd disabled afterburn damage because their players were annoyed by "w+m1 pyros".
My only experience of a cheater was also on TF2 where two people were clearly using speed hacks.... picking up intel to scoring in 5 seconds? that's not natural.

I have never been accused of cheating and i to the same thing you to in red dead and I always get more then the rest of my team combined. I also don't mind if someone cheats in single player or co-op. i also include abusing glitches in a game as cheating I know everyone can use them but it makes it no fun (I'm talking about versus multiplayer of course). I think I recently played against cheaters in team fortress 2 (xbox) they killed me in one shot (any weapon) I killed a guy outside the spawn then he attacked me with a rocket launcher 2 sec later and the respawn time was 10 sec plus watching your corps for about 3 sec another guy backed stabbed me after i snipped him give me an explanation for thatMiumaru said:
I used to, on Quake 1. Back when most people were still on 56k or less, I played from Uni which had a leased line. Good player + 25ms ping = lots of accusations. I wasn't great or anything but I knew the game well enough to make some freaky predictions by player patterns and level sounds that meant it looked like I had an aimbot or wallhack or something.
Also... juggling made people angry. :/

No because I'm not good enough to be accused of such things.
I do remember one game, however, where I was playing with some buddies of mine in L4D2 and we were doing Team Vs. We came across one team and we figured they'd be about as good as us or something. We start playing and we barely make it out of the safe room in every map while the other team gets to the end of each chapter with barely a scratch on them. You gotta admit... for a team that had been playing together on Expert campaigns for quite a bit, that's a tad weird for THAT much skill difference.
EDIT: Scratch that! I actually have been accused of cheating, but in all fairness, my friend and I were just building shit in Survival Maps of L4D. If it had been versus, yeah, I'd admit to calling it cheating. But if we're just building shit for fun in a survival map, it's just messing around if anything.
