Couterstrike Headshot

[AMB]

Does this ALWAYS mean that the person is cheating? What does it mean?

It is a big suspicious when somebody with a mp5navy shoots you dead with one shot when you have 100 health and 100 armour.

I would have to say no, not necessarily... there are a LOT of people that play this game without sleep and food for hours and hours on end until they pass out, then they just wake up and play again. So either they are really good or you just need more practice.

i personally die all the time.

youd be surprised how good some people get. there was a point first year in college where quake 2 was mor important than going to class. in fact, i would say it was more important than eating or sleeping too.

OK, thanks, what does a headshot actually mean then...?

The problem with CS is that there is no certainty whether or not people are cheating. While some people are just really good, there are also a whole lotta cheats floating around, and the CS team has not generally done much to inhibit cheating.

well, if one person is ONLY getting headshots, then you can be pretty sure it's a cheater. headshot scripts are abound, but now there are also auto-shoot scrips which automatically shoot if an enemy passes through your crosshairs. that cheat is very difficult, if impossible to detect.

Getting a Headshot in CS is pretty easy, especially at close range with medium recoil weapons. Some people Headshot more often than not because of their skill (is there an Autocentre in CS like UT?). However sometimes you see people that ALWAYS headshot even when you walk up behind them and shoot first or the second you go around a corner. Some of these people are probably extrememly skilled, others may well be cheating. Cheating is rife in CS. Some cheats are funny, like the chiken skin cheat, which is a cheat nonetheless.The worst are the ones you can only guess at like Autoshoot, autoaim etc.

Basically by definition: If you play CS on open servers you will encounter lots of cheats. Don't let it get to you or you will start to suspect cheating everytime somebody pulls off a good shot. After you have played a while you will be better able to gauge probable cheats.

The best foil to cheats is to get reallly good. How sad would you feel if you were loaded up on cheat tools etc and some non-cheat was kicking your ass (or would you just assume they were a better cheat?)

Cheats suck, but they will proliferate wherever they can, Sadly Valve have performed badly on this front

On a good day I can get headshots upto 80% of the time.

Most days its more like 25% though
