@@perfrchandersen4853 well , there is some truth to what they are saying. Your pilot skill rating isn't just based upon your KDR. that is only a fraction of it. I have 2 accounts. One I play serious and one I Smurf around on. My serious one is a pretty baseline KDR, it's pretty low. But it's Pilot Skill rating is a Tier 2/1, I float between the two. My Smurf account has a high KDR 3- 4.5, but floats between tier 4-6. Depending on how reckless I get. The game takes into account of how much "teamwork" you contributed, in certain aspects of damage and shared damage. If you are just trying to Rambo it, in and amongst your team, and not really coordinate, then those scores will be low as well. Anyone can run around and wait to pick of the weakest mech. that doesn't make you a good pilot. Anyone can build an assault with basically a 2 button kill alpha, that doesn't make you a good pilot. Contributing across the board, does. All these KZreadrs and Streamers do one thing very well - work with the team as much as possible. And when it's a wash, they turn it into great content. But all the really good games (beside the clutch games and imbalanced pilot skill ratings where people just get slaughtered) are all teamwork based, or team oriented. TTB might be a solo player, but he utilizes the team as much as possible in a team fashion. It's what helps him succeed. So, what I am saying is, maybe it's because you are trying to hard to solo it, and not be a team player. I speak from experience. I used to attempt to solo Rambo it... and got nowhere and was always in the lower tiers. then I started my other account and started playing WITH the teams given. And my Tier shot up within a week. Once I understood the synergy in the teams, it all made sense. And as you go up in tier, the game changes. Radically. Better pilots, with better mech builds, and better strategy. It's literally a different "feel" to the game once you get above tier 3. And this is my favorite area to play. Tier 2-3. Because you aren't playing against 100% sweaties, and you aren't playing with any fresh people. Tier 2-3 I believe is where most good casual players, who enjoy the game actually are. BUT I also love just crashin and bashin, so I keep my lower tier account for that as well. MWO has a problem with match making because of the low population it has and its complex Pilot Rating system it utilizes. I think when the pop is too low, it goes directly to "mech score" and tries to even it out as much as possible. Also, time of day is a thing to consider if you are trying to go up in tier as well. Certain times of day are more less, better or worse, to play during too.

That's been my attitude for the last 25 years of online gaming (yep, salty mechdad here lol). After all these years I've realized that if you're cheating in online games, it's mostly a self-esteem boost that you can't (or don't) get anywhere else. It's a video game version of the Instagram "models" that need the clicks and likes or whatever in order to feel good about themselves. Feeling sorry for them is probably the right attitude, but at the end of the day I think the cheaters just need a good hug

Apparently I have the "can't hit $#+@" bot.😅

I played a game in which I got 3 head shots in a row, I thought I was cheating, next game I died in the first 3 mins. Sometimes you get perfect aim.. but the way this guy was targeting and following certain comps is suspicious. As punishment they should apply a second bot that makes all his shots do no damage and not tell him about it. :)

I had a game recently where an urban mech was flipping his cockpit around 180 degrees instantly and had suspiciously good aim at the same time. Unfortunately I couldn't record it but I managed to submit a report on him for cheating before the match ended.

Unfortunately cheating in MWO has been going on for a very very long time and even by people AND content creators. Just came back after 2 years and almost nothing has changed in MWO.

Stealth mechs don't show up, you very well could have seen an ALLY on the other side of a stealth enemy, when stealth turned off you could see his box

I think the tracking itself isn't suspicious alone. I mean have you seen Overwatch Tracer Pro players? Way faster gameplay and they manually track extremely fast moving targets with extreme precision. But the component switching is quite unusual and suspicious. But what really get's me to believe that this could be an aimbot is that usually someone with such a high skill level in tracking wouldn't be so hard out of position. I mean it's clear to me that this needs to be investigated but it's not a 100% for me. Especially because we don't get a 1:1 Replay with where that person really aimed at.

That has to be the most hazardous script they could buy ... They might always hit something, but they'll die before they drill through an opponent if it keeps bouncing components like that. Especially if it locked a light mech behind them, exposing their back to something larger and grouped up.

Hoping to get back after a coupla years hiatus myself, i remembered the first purge of cheaters back then, sad to see it still happening. Hope wen cheaters get caught that all his kills to whomever gets redacted from their stats.

When the Viper lagged, and the aim *snapped* too the correct "pathway" it would have taken had there been NO lag hiccup ... the slowed down fight between this person and the viper and King Crab makes sense if you are the cheater who just realized TTB is watching you ..... So I wonder if it is someone testing their program out, or possibly an AI bot test. Edit: Also I noticed how people were reacting to the person in question. It seemed like they weren't firing much at them, as in they couldn't really target them. The fight between the King Crab/Viper and the person in question, was an odd fight altogether. The KC didn't fire much at all. they might have been out of ammo / too close for minimum range for their load out, but I doubt that.

Nice catch haha

Yeah there been times when I was in the battle and poof gone... something fishy was up..

This one is kind of hard to tell. It could be an aimbot, or it could be a newbie coming to grips with the controls or a higher sensitivity. The locking on is suspicious, but I couldn't say for certain if that's what is happening in real time, and sometimes slow motion can "reveal" things that aren't there. I am leaning towards aimbot though. The movements are just a bit too twitchy. That said, I have seen some really egregious aim bots on mechs that have free swinging arms.

Yeah that's basically guaranteed aimbot. ER Larges are the most common weapon for aimbotters, combined with tracking through an obstruction, and constantly switching between the two targets with weapons off cooldown makes it a pretty dead give away.

I assume the blue square is the actual cursor. The cursor swipes the Crab, and spends total of 2 frames on the arm, then swipes the legs of the smaller mech, spending only ONE frame on the right leg. And yet he calls out this single frame by saying "snap", as if he has just presented the murder weapon with fresh bloody fingerprints. I'm certain that I could take replay footage from any of you, slow it down, and say the word "snap" every time your cursor hits a component of an enemy mech. And here is the kicker... EVERY part of a mech is SOME component. And if your cursor doesn't stay perfectly on a specific component, then I can go "see how he is toggling between components". This isn't compelling evidence, unless you are already itching for a good ol' witch hunt and a lynching.

I aim well, but this is supernatural. I have tuned my mouse sensitivity in-game and my mouse's DPI to work very well together. There's just no way a person can aim this well when the torso, legs, and arms are all moving in different directions. I aim very accurately, but I usually have to come to a near stop to track a component in my Black Lanner.

I truly hope that is just a super sensitive mouse and someone that good, but I can see the truth plain as day in the aim. Noone is that precise on a computer. ESPECIALLY in MWO.

Imagine aim botting in a game as slow as this. Like, barring some of the uberfast lights, you really shouldn't be missing very often. It makes the game a lot more about tactics than twitch reflexes.

good man ttb

I'm saying 100% The time frame between each time they focus on a new component is so fast and random that there is no way a human is doing that unassisted. Even from a logic point of view there is no reason to do that when you already have target information and should just wait for an opening for the best shot. The thing is, even if they are cheating, they are so bad at using it that it's inconsequential to gameplay whether or not they banned lol. On principle though, they should be.

Ah, Casey Bat

That's definitely not normal aiming. . . that's just sad.

So does this mean that there no anti cheat system in MWO, also if people are paying real money to support comp play is this a issue that needs to be addressed immediately?

No anti cheat. Considering that games like Helldivers 2 got review bombed for having anti cheat, I'd like the audience for these games to make up their minds, you can't avoid cheaters either way but why put filth on your PC?

I have been playing a very long time and my estimate is that cheating has exploded during the last year.

Could the player be an actual AI? It is both very accurate at locking on but seems to lack the knowledge of when to fire. It seems that a human intelligence takes over at the end to start shooting.

that looks damning to me.

I'm not an expert but I didn't really understand what I'm seeing if it's aim botting. I'm not seeing the "snap" stuff you're talking about. Please explain to me like I'm in need of crayons because I'm not seeing it.

That doesn't look like anything ...

People who use cheats, get pissed off for losing and getting called out on it.

This more than likely someone playing the game with a x-box controller and needing the extra 'help' from the aimbot. It's really sad, I've never seen the point to cheating but it's everywhere in the on-line gaming community. Its the main reason that MWO is the only on line game I waste any time with and even then, not more than a handfull of games per day, unlike in closed beta where I'd play for 7-8 hours.

I've never actually seen an aimbot before, so I really couldn't judge. Having said that, parts of that did seem pretty suspicious. I guess it's inevitable that some people will cheat... but in a game with a PSR/ELO mechanic they're just making life for themselves more difficult. I'm not at all surprised that someone who cheats would run an all ERLL build. Having watched it again, I notice that while you're watching frame by frame the reticule is _continually_ switching between components within just a few frames (fractions of a second). Tier 1 players might reliably accomplish that with a stationary target, I find it difficult to believe that anyone might do it reliably with a target that's not only dodging horizontally but also vertically. The pilot has 2 of 3 weapons ready to fire while totally cold (ie very much a thing that people who are not proficient with the game do) while he has a near perfect back shot lined up. He then switches to an arm and shoots right past the mech, with what seems to me to be a delayed reaction or perhaps just trusting that the aimbot would hold the lock while he finally realised that he had a viable shot (likely because it was tracking faster than he could make decisions). The fact that his lightning reflexes don't match up with his methods and decisions to shoot are inarguably incongruous. One can't both have split second, hyper-accurate reflexes in one kind of control and not in another within the same kind of physical movement and mental faculty within the same infinitesimal time frames.

There really isn't a ELO in QP, Matchmaker starts throwing out restrictions the lower the pop gets to make faster queues happen. The matchmaker doesn't really care if someone is T5 or T1 most of the time.

This guy seems horrible even with an aimbot, I think he'd have more luck just hip firing. Hope this doesn't turn into a bigger problem.

I quit playing MWO because everyone denies any cheating going on. Others claim it has minimal impact. Bottom line is that if it is happening it ruins the fun of the game. I think there are more hackers than you could imagine at the higher levels. There are ways to verify it. Screenshot installed in client would go a long way to verify. Just submit and detect for oddities with AI.

Hey, I think a new cheat has been made, last few days I have started to notice aimhackers and wallhackers. They do not matter as much in other games but still, not a fun experience Btw this is nothing compared to more obvious aimhackers. I saw spider literally locking on to the cockpits of mechs with machine guns. It was way way waaaay more obvious no doubt about that.

I had the feeling during the last weeks to deal with enemies using wall hacks. I had several sutuations i cannot explain myself otherwise. Like, youre in a long range fight with an enemy, your are behind cover, and there are several spots you could re-appear in his sight, and he hits you the second you move out of cover, as he saw you the whole time. And there was no UAV or someting above me, and the distance too far for seismics.

If it was the first time you popped out I can understand but in an extended long range peek-fight it gets easy to predict where someone will pop out. Also be wary of ECM/Stealth mechs getting sight on you from behind your lines! Also target retention can get insane with the right quirks/perks.

Not sure about now but the in game comms used to be shit. Most of the big names used ts/discord/whatever and talked each other onto targets. On many maps it's easy enough to park a light out of sensor range behind the opponents, doesn't need to be stealth. And the old Mk 1 eyeball can be all the targeting computer you need ;)

@@therealmber i played in a high level FP clan and while we used discord you can't use it to talk your mates into prefiring on a target. wall hacks are out there and undetectable to PGI by their design. I have had certain clans hit me the first time I poked and with prefired PPCs at max range.

Generally speaking the filosophy of a cheat dev is the more niche a game is the less competition there is therefore the more money. It should never come to a surprise that x game has cheats regardless of how niche the game is because there will always be some players that want to have high level plays without putting in the effort and as long as there is demand for cheats there will be supply of cheats

Dude. There are 700 people playing Of that, the vast majority aren't in the tier 1 match making, vast majority of this game are so bad the rest don't need to cheat, I have played since beta, I put in 60 hours this week alone and have 10,000+ since 2012, let me assure you, I spectate a LOT and I ran across funny business when this game was bigger in 2014-16 and you can google the posts about aimbots from back then and see the few ban waves they did. Quite a large portion of this community are Tech heads, they don't need to buy one.

Even for somebody that plays aimtrainers doesnt have pixel perfect tracking, def cheating by the retical bouncing on the exact pixel of an enemy on motion.

100% cheating, It's not even physically possible to move your mouse like that in normal play, hope PGI banned him

I am honestly going to question if this is a player. Something can’t have aimbot and be so bad. It has to be a bot or something.

i have been playing since game started years and years and years ago, i have literally never nailed a headshot(im really bad at the game though) i cant say ive ever felt like anyone was actually cheating though so this must be particularly egregious.

I am so bad at this game I could not hit you even with a aim bot lol :)

Lol damn, and here I feel bad about having my aim assist set on low in Mechwarrior 5. It is a lot easier hitting the fast movers at range with it though... I justify it with mechs have targeting computers of varying degrees. Actually, it would be really cool if that was a game mechanic. Something the Marauder should have longer zoom and better targeting capabilities than the average mech.

Ya got him!

I think I found another AIMBOT cheater. I emailed PGI about it but like your comments, doubt it'll be read. Player "chaotic neutrality" in season 90 he's ranked 14,803 with average match score of 200. Yet he's got 530 kills, 75 deaths in 174 matches. That an average of 3 kills per match. I loaded up the match today in a marauder with a headshot

Ich glaube ja, ohne es beweisen zu können, wie auch... das mehr Cheater in dem game rum laufen, als man denkt. Alleine, gewisse PPC Sniper die immer die selbe Stelle treffen auf 600 und mehr Meter. Und genau dann abdrücken, wenn man gerade aus der Deckung rauskommt, also genau das Bewegungsmuster erkennen. Allein mit einem Mark kann ich mir das sehr sehr oft nicht erklären. Auch ich marke meine Gegner und kenne das, wie es abläuft. Einiges lässt sich erahnen, klar. Spreche ich nicht ab. Aber oft wirkt es sehr sehr eigenartig...

Die Kunst des Cheatens ist ja nicht das Cheaten, sondern sich nicht erwischen zu lassen. Headshots sind zu auffällig. Wie man bei Tarkov gesehen hat, sind wallhacks viel subtiler. Oder halt solche ppfld 'Skill'-Treffer. Klar kann das auch einfach wirklich Skill sein. Genau das ist ja der Punkt.

Mmm..i don't know. I find this weird. I could do better than this guy did with his supposed cheats. Comes off to me as someone new being panicked and/or indecisive. Slowed down it looked more suspicious, yeah but honestly you can make anything look sketchy when slowed like that.

Maybe a person plays very actively, and successfully, in some cs go, and has a very high speed and accuracy of mouse pointing, has a high speed of decision-making. ps Sometimes, a person who plays as if he is a cheater, actually plays at a level that is unattainable for you, while being absolutely honest. I remember 20 years ago, in the days of computer clubs, the accusation of cheating was like a compliment :D pss all cheaters are bastards!

Maybe they nerfed streaks to sell their cheats -.0
