I'm sure most of us have been labelled as an aimbotter before. I don't mind the other common insults, but when you're on a server filled with 16 guys and someone is convinced you're cheating, your name can get a pretty bad reputation very quickly.

My most frequent response is "just because someone is better than you are does not mean they are a cheater" but this NEVER sits well with them. A lot of the time I try to ignore them, but for the life of me I just can't do it.

I can remember one specific individual, Hybrid, who was actually a half-decent player, but went off the deep end after I killed him a few times in a row. Comments like...

"omg okay player."
"your a nub."
"uninstall halo."
"right now. seriously. uninstall halo."
"stop gheying me."
"play me 1v1 okay player."

constantly for like 5 minutes before he finally quit.

Generally speaking, the decent, experienced players can tell you're not botting, but I still hate being labelled as one by the newbies, even if they're only trying to get a rise out of me.

How do you guys deal with the rampant insults that run wide in halo?
Let's hear some of your stories dealing with the ignorant and immature.

If it's your server, perma-ban them so far that they'll be closer if they played in Africa.

If it's not your server, kindly ask the admin. But if the admin's not available, or he won't do that, then pwn that whining nub's ass while he types.

I know I'm not much help, but since there's no "real " way of dealing with whiners, this is the best recommendation i got for you. =/

LOLZORS!!!

Well as with your problem I suggest pwning their buts while they type and ignoring them.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

when i host sniper ffas no shields i pwn everyone and sometimes get real competition but sometimes i get accused of cheating so i only host stunts now.

Tell them "Aimbot doesn't work if it's not my server."
Then they say "Yeah it does."
Then you say "Then you've used it ding-dong."

Well if you're host and fail on your own snipers game, something's wrong. But I've always found that showing your ping/ignorance works the best. Of course, I've gotten my fair shair of challengers too, some of which were good, many of which had no skill.

I thank them for accusing me, because it means I'm good enough of a player to be accused of cheating due to my godly aim. They can't admit that I'm a better player and a better shot than they are so thus, they accuse me of cheating. But whatever, the more they type screaming, "CHEATER!" the more easy type kills I get.

I'm not good enough to be accused of botting, but I get plenty of 'Speed haxxorz!' thrown my way. 'I lag. Deal with it.'

Hmmm... I either ignore them if its my server and ban them (from console), or I use one of the comebacks said earlier, espcially thanking them.

I don't get why its so hard to accept that someone may be better than you. If someone plays a good game, I tell them so; just because someone's better than you doesn't mean that their a cheater.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

So you guys are trying to tell me that you have actually been accused of aimbotting? I mean seriously all of you? I wonder if the opponent was 7 years old... :p

It acutally happened yesterday, what I do is tell them that I am using an aimbot, so then they get even more pissed, when I'm actually not....
Funny part is when the game is over and they leave, or ask me to turn off my hacks, and tell I can't because I'm not using any, and they -blam!- and whine some more.....


:P

Welcome to my signature, apparently I can't respond right now so please don't leave me a message, because I will not get back back to you after the beep.

I will usually say somthing like: Maybe if you stop typing, you might see that I am not hacking.

Seriously I got accused for aim boting the day back from not playing halo period for two months, and I wasn’t any good.
