The invention of the aimbot, and sheer lack of something I like to call skill.
I used to be an AVID Halo PC fan. Everyday I came home from school, played some Halo Trial or PC (Trial cause I got sick of start up time). I got very good at Blood Gulch and all. I could go to an enemies base, and well, demolish them. Totally, they would get smashed. I often came out of games between 40-50 kills and 10-20 deaths. But, sometimes I'd get owned, because there were still good people around...
That was 2 years ago, till I met an internet crash, followed by buying Counter Strike Source. Amazing game, I must say, excellent multiplayer. Anyways, that's besides the point, because 3 months ago I started to play Halo again a lot more.
And I brought something with me from Counter Strike that I wasn't the best at before. It was a new level of skill, it's called aiming. I was insanely good at it, because I was used to leading the pistol a little bit and now I could hit a LOT more. In fact, I found out that I was good at headshots!
Then, I met someone who had an aimbot, it was not only obvious, he bluntely told us he had it. I saw a video on it, how it worked and everything. Great, some noob got sick of getting demolished and decided to do a little C++ hacking.
And I thought, "Hey, I don't have one, I'm safe." Wrong.
This newly aquired skill that I had called aiming was a little too good for some people. I was playing Halo CE, which I mostly only play now, and I decide to go into the [HK]Clan Server.
Todd: "Hey guys"
HK Guys: "Hi"
Plays.
HK Guys: "You got pwned"
Todd: "Yea, nice little rocket launcher you've got there"
HK Guys: "Nub"
Todd gets annoyed and starts to try.
Todd: "Pwned"
HK Guys: "That's bull-blam!-."
After several more pistol kills and a few sniper headshots, their attitudes quickly change.
HK Guys: "Dude, wtf, stop aimbotting"
Todd mutters, "Not again..." and gets killed on purpose.
Todd: "ZOMG UR AIMBUTTING! I'LL FREAKING HCAK!"
HK Guys: "You're aimbotting! You just headshotted again!!!11!"
Todd: "Yea, so, when you get pwned, do you just call it an aimbot?"
Ban.
Actually, that was the second server I was banned from that day.
I've gotten banned from 4, one bccause I was getting on this guys nerve for kicking my friend.
Anyways, here's the point: If you don't already have any, get some skill. You're killing the game with your prejudice noob retardedness. People are leaving due to this whole aimbot crap, but it doesn't help when you make blind guesses.
This is really meant as a conversation starter, not really a huge rant. I don't care so much as to which servers have banned me.
The aimbot itself isn't going to kill the game. Besides the crappy network, the large ammount of aimbot accusations will.
And is there ANY way that I can prove to them that I'm not? I know there's some download the server can get.
Oh, and to the HK Clan. Sorry for being good, I'll suck JUST for you guys. OK?
And finally, does any of you think you can beat me? Provide a dedicated server where both of our pings are under 100, classic map, and isn't heavy weapons or some stupid crap. I want a classic game of Halo. Xfire: dbzprogrammer
