I realize I'm not the best Halo player when it comes to online play, but there must be some bad players out there to be calling ME a botter, it happened like 10 times today. So I fired up Fraps, joined some random servers, and got me some footage.

You joined a server? It looks like you hosted the game. I don't see any sort of leading that you applied to your targets.

And botting accusations are EXTREMELY common in Halo. I myself have been banned from plenty of servers for alleged botting.

it seems like your not leading yet still hitting, so I'm assuming that you hosted the server?

I cant host

I had decent ping on those servers though, they must've been local (Australia).

just no. On some servers I get 47 ping, and still i have to lead as usual. Unless you have 0 ping (hosting), you still have to lead.

You are proving nothing. You simply asked people to help you get less latency on servers you joined. Now, out of nothing, you say you joined these smooth and quick servers and played Halo? First of all, like Ony Ryu and the rest have said, it's obviously No Shields, plus, without the lag, anybody could tell it is you who hosted the server. By the way, don't weep for being called an aimbotter. People(or noobs, whatever...) are stupid. They lose, they can't accept it. Keep with your life, and if it's an admin, then the server may simply not be good enough.

Hey man, pistol and no shields equals to easy kills. No need for such "skills".

You're hosting. There was no delay at all between when you shot and when the bullets registered. Sometimes, it can look like you're not "leading" and still get the kill if your enemy strafes into your shots, but the no delay thing is a foolproof way to tell if you're hosting. I've had one game that was 29 ping before, and there was still a little bit of delay between when I shot and when the bullets registered.

Man that was beyond bad. Apart from the fact that he sucked anyway, who fires 8 bullets and nades twice on a no shield hosted server for 1 kill and puts it in a video?

The tell tale sign of a botter is easy to see.

The person can target you as you come up a hill or from a side cave (you have fired no shots) and nail you the moment you peek your head out.

My friends and I have tested the bot, and even though its really not that effective, the ability to see where opponents are located, even through terrain, is a HUGE factor.

People here will poo poo the effectiveness of a bot. But let me tell ya, being able to target opponnents before they become visible is HUGE.

2 cents. suck it biitches.

what i consider botting is a person who is like 200 yards away who kills you in 3 shots with a pistol. even aiming at the head, that is impossible.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I still heart you DoomyCheese!

Lol, it's no that hard. Especially since there's no way to accurately judge distance in a quantifiable state such as meters when playing a video game. Not without expensive VR gear to simulate depth perception.

Maybe someones just better at pointing at a smaller target with the mouse.
