Subject: Modder found in Squad Slayer?

I know that most of you will think immediately that this is a bad player coming in and saying that he's found a cheater because he lost, etc. etc.

However, I'm not bad, and we didn't lose, but something fishy was definitely going on.

To start with, the game was extremely laggy. Perhaps you can discount one or two of these things, but definitely not all of them due to the lag.

Firstly, the game chose a terrible host - one of, if not the worst connection I've ever played on. It repeatedly tried to change host and went black screen, but repeatedly returned to the same person's connection. It would not surprise me if this was the player in question.

Secondly, while other players would teleport around the map due to the lag somewhat rarely, this player would teleport most of the times you shot him; and he would teleport through walls, rocks, whatever to get away. This was often accompanied by a black screen.

Thirdly, while in the game waiting for the players to be assigned to teams, everyone else had their usual character colour, but the player in question did not. His name bar in the lobby was colourless, and showed only his gamertag in text.

The game in question is here.

What do you think?

If it was a modder, you wouldn't need to ask.

Without seeing the video I couldnt say for sure but it was probably just very bad lag..?
If he was a full on hacker he would either be an inheritor or a very low rank or have a guest as the modded account.
As I would say the scores look pretty genuine.
If they had a lag switch then its possible but from what I hear a lag switch can be used only so many times before it lags everyone out the game.

As the swat iz back says if it was a hacker with all dancing bells are ringing mods then he would be jumping from one side of the map to the other really high in the air, whilst firing a rapid fire controller and getting headshot after headshot if he had unfrigginbelievables etc and your team was dead the moment they spawned then it was a hacker otherwise it wasnt.

He probably just got a new xbox or something so he was pulling a host a good bit until it registers his sucks and he has really bad internet.

The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

Probably just massive lag. I've seen similar things and the player (I assume) in question has a reset emblem so to speak.

Thing is, his gameplay (other than the teleporting) didn't seem to be much out of the ordinary, but if someone was jumping around the map insta killing it'd be pretty obvious and they'd get banned immediately. This stuff gave me the impression that he was doing something subtle so that people wouldn't notice and report it.

Anybody that mods a well used online account is stupid coz chances are you will lose it when you get banned.
Having said that as I said, he could have been using a lag switch but if the lag was as bad as you say and black screened as much as you say then I would have thought he would have used it too much and it would have lagged everyone out the game.
Lag switches can only be used so much before they cause problems whereas genuine lag unfortunatly will last the entire game.
