Bot or not?
« on: March 14, 2021, 05:02:55 AM »
Was spectating someone named "Pumpkin Lips" on the DM server yesterday. It seemed they actively avoided picking up hitscan weapons (railgun, machinegun, etc.), but when they did get them, once they focused on someone, the crosshair movement looked sorta bot-like.

Here's a demo of them on DM1. It's kinda boring, and you have to wait a bit to get to what I'm talking about, but check it out if you want to give your two cents.

The first time happens when he has 6 frags, and he respawns in the sewer/mg. He gets MG and his crosshair movement seems really jerky, but still very precise. There's another time when he's got 10 kills where it looks more suspicious (also with MG). He's kinda erratic with movement in general, but it just looked odd to me.

It's not a smoking gun necessarily, but it might be worth putting more pairs of eyes on it to judge. Perhaps it's a bot with a really low fov setting.

Nope.

Avoiding hitscan weapons? Hyperblaster doesn't really qualify. It's a projectile weapon, but one that you tend to sustain fire with. A bot would lock on and lead/predict the target making the majority of projectiles land. While they hold down fire, like they were doing A LOT, that tell-tale motion (of the bot adjusting the aim L/R and up/down) would've been EXTREMELY evident with a hyperblaster, maybe even moreso than with the mg.

If it's who I think it is, they tend to never use the damned strafe keys, yet they can "snap" ridiculously accurate shots frequently. For the life of me, I dunno how any sane person plays this shit without strafe keys. They looked to be strafing in very very small amounts at certain times though, so I dunno if it really is who I'm thinking it is. Or maybe it just looked like they were. For the most part they were forward and backward keys only, spamming the shit out of grenades. ::)

Furthermore... see attached pic.

Negative kdr, not likely using a bot.

If you were attached to reality, you'd realize that.

Quake 2 needs a private bathroom.
