Speed hacks: PROOF, we need it. I have heard the rumors but have yet to see a video of it.
Wall Hacks: I have never suspected anyone of wall hacking, maybe there just good players. But it could also and is most likely clipping.
I would also like to add something that could disprove the wall hack idea: Ok when we think of call hacks we may think of the guy with a rifle tracking you through a wall from across the map and shooting you through that wall. Well that cant happen in ROOST and no hack or mod or program can change that (well unless its on the server). ROOST doesnt have bullet penitration so bullets hit a surface and stop, doesnt matter if its 1mm thick or 10in thick Bullets cant pass through objects. So if your so convinced of a wall hack, then why. did someone can out and know exactly where you were (if you can think of the spot so can someone else and someone else has most likely already done it. I would imagin you were getting shot through walls and you assumed wall hacker. No, its clipping, part of your body was sticking out of the wall and another player was using this exploit (not hack) to kill you. He shot the part of your body that was explosed. This is a game error and exists in almost all FPS games to different degrees
aim-bots: Good player or a bot, I would put my money on the second one
Radars: huh, i dont really understand this one but I have an idea and that idea leads me to believe its just a good player who knows the maps and where to check when clearing a room or searching. You said you have only played the game for 30 days, well some of the maps are from teh mod and some are from release. So a vet player could have been playing these same maps for 9 months to several years more then you.
Recoil/breath hacks: These are errors in the game which the player has no control over. The no recoil think happens when certain players are running low FPS and there is a mod which servers can run out there that does the same thing. and breath hacks, this seems more like another error then a hack.
Also punkbuster didnt work that well but the idea of it made people believe they were safe from hackers and thats why its so popular. If someone called you a hacker with PB running then you just say, well I cant be PB is on this server. But PB only worked by stopping existing hacks. meaning a hack is developed and released, players use it, a good player or PB employee notices the new hack and they develop and release a fix to prevent that hack from being used again. Then repeat the again and again and again. So PB was always a few weeks behind the hackers. (I dont know if thats how VAC works)
I think people in general are too quick to declare that there are hackers out there. Many people seem to forget that it could be an error, there a good player, I screwed up, maybe I'm really not that good and they just know the map or something else. I mean most of what you suggest sounds like things that are not hacking but bots on high settings, good players who know the maps and know where people hide, clipping (this means part of your body was sticking through a wall and all the others players could see where you where, they could also shoot the part of you sticking through the wall), or errors in the game.
The only thing that could be a hack is the soo called speed back but I havent seen thing and no one has provided proof of this, it could even be a bug, lag or any number of things. We need to stop suspecting the worst of ever situtation and start rationally viewing events.
Kess: I am sorry if I sounded like a jerk in this post, that was not my intention but many new players claim people are hacking which out looking into the situtation looking at the most likely cause (bots, game errors or good players).
