I have been playing on TS servers for many years. Oh where to start. I guess there is nowhere better to start than the beginning and the absolute truth being told.
Firstly tastyspleen has always had many many hackers through the years. Some are still even playing aliased today. there is some misconception among the regulars and an attitude that scoffs at the idea this game has cheaters. Only a fool believes there are no cheaters. Cheaters are a scourge upon any sport, And for as long as there is competition there is always going to be some low life scumbag looking to cheat.
R1ch the inventor of anticheat used to keep a "Hall of shame" record of every single player who has been kicked by anticheat with hacks loaded. The list was long. So to say there are no cheaters is just insane.
Razor was the shit stain of the entire quake 2 community. he not only openly and deliberately used hax, he also spread them out amongst the community. he had his entourage team which included true.douchebag (AKA Magic), faderjok (AKA Near), zepplin (AKA Cajmere), V!tal and Killah (AKA KFC)
Then you had B100D who ran a wallhack clan. Literally everyone in his clan was caught using wallhacks. B100D however left the clan when shit hit the fan claiming he had no idea. What a load of bullshit! Birds of a feather flock together. I can say with almost 100% certainty B100D used wallhacks at some point if not every single time he plays. he was just never caught like the rest of his trash clan.
So here we are in the year 2023 and I believe without doubt there are many players who still cheat. Some of those include...
TRIGGER - An aussie player, absolutely no skill, Moves like a 5yo toddler and the only kills he gets are by popping out from behind walls. His aim is absolutely horrendous in the open
E - A no skill camper with zero movement. Only kills he gets is from peekaboo wall shots with no sound ques (I have tested him numerous times)
McBass - Another low skill camper. Peekepoo style from behind a wall with no sound ques (tested)
AZ (AKA Tren) - A decent DM player and friend of B100D. Do I need to say more?
Lemmaz - Enter the euro trash the absolute scum of Quake2. they flood the servers with their euro hack paks.
HL
RH|Chacal
The list goes on far too many to name....
David (the self proclaimed king of q2) even has a youtube channel which he proudly displays his hack pak for the world to see. And no one even questions it. Item timers, over bright objects and skins, heavy sounds, loud elevator sounds, loud water splash sounds, countdowns and who knows what else he is using that he doesn't put in his youtube videos?
The truth is quake 2 has always been a haven of cheaters. I will leave you with this bit of wisdom......
Lance Armstrong was the best of the best in his sport for a decade. he was the most dominant in his field for a very long period of time. no one questioned how this could be possible until technology caught up with him. He was caught red handed cheating and had no choice to admit to it after all the evidence was laid bare for all to see. His cheating went on for a decade unnoticed. Let that sink in
I also forgot to mention euro player HL who changes his alias every second day talks a ton of shit on the servers was actually kicked by the server 2 weeks ago for using a wallhack TWICE. I reported this to shloo who said she would look into it, but obviously didn't look too hard because HL is still free to roam the servers using wallhacks freely
Just to eliminate any form of confusion and/or unawareness, faderjok (AKA Near) is Fader (aka XANA). TRIGGER always talks so much smack while he cheats. I think he is using a different name as of late. Even FecalOdor (aka Focalor) said TRIGGER hacks
A lot of good information here
