It looks like a cheater. No doubt about that. We’re talking about cheating on consoles, not hackers. You can obviously cheat w/o hacking. That’s the point of OP. If it’s not cheating, we want to know, in so we can use it. I’m 53, my eye/hand ain’t what it used to be. So let us know if we can use it.
The closest I’d say modded controllers come to cheating is recoil comp. And that solely emulates slightly pulling down on the right stick, and is NOT universal and has to be adjusted based on every weapon you use because in 99.99999% of shooters, every weapon has clearly different recoil and spread values.
For instance, anti recoil set up for the Mp40 in this game would not work for the FG42. The FG42 has significantly more recoil. Hell, if you switch to your sidearm it will pull it down every time you pull the trigger because of that mod.
This function is not one you can just press a button to turn on and it be effective.
Other functions of modded controllers and inputs do nothing but emulate controller functions that are BLATANTLY and easily achievable without said mods. Like firing your semi auto weapon as fast as it can be fired. Rapid fire has literally no advantage because, again, 99.9% of weapons in fps games have fixed rates of fire that can’t be surpassed.
Like I said earlier, I’d compare it to modified editions of default controllers that come with paddles on the bottom. By default you’d have to consider that cheating because normal controllers don’t have them, and they allow people to melee, jump, reload, crouch, etc without taking thier thumb off of the stick they use to aim.
Microsoft has started selling such controllers for xbone, and have even developed native keyboard and mouse support at the developers discretion.
These modified devices do not automatically give you an advantage over other players or artificially increase your skill level instantaneously. Just as a Xim Apex doesn’t magically make you master marksman just because you can use a mouse now.
Whereas legitimate cheat software does. It aims for you, allows you to see enemy positions through solid objects, allows you to run THROUGH solid objects, allows you to run 10x the normal running speed, etc.
I have a proposal to all of you claiming that using Xim Apex, Chronus Max etc. on consoles isn’t cheating.
Let’s take a bet. 1000$. 1 on 1 on empty server, best of 10. You use the regular controller, and I use Xim, Chronus, or whatever I choose fit. Would you accept that bet?
Cheating is cheating, there are no grading system about it because one sort is worse than the other. All cheaters should be banned, but of course that dont happen.
They should all burn in hell…or at least have their account banned…
Some people seem to have a warped idea of what constitutes cheating.
I think cheating is a serious issues that causes players a huge amount of stress and affects mental health. It should be taken more seriously than this.
That is a bit extreme…stress, sure, as in annoyance and frustration, but if it affects one’s mental health, I’d say you need to take a break. It IS only a game, after all. It’s not like your score or KD matters one bit in the large scheme of life
Alright folks, we’re not really here to discuss mental health issues, can we please bring the thread back on topic otherwise I’m going to lock the thread. The forums really aren’t the place to debate these kinds of issues.
I used cheater and hacker interchangeably and haven’t paid attention to the differences. My bad for any misunderstanding, so lets go with cheater.
“So let us know if we can use it.” You’re not going to get an legitimate answer here. But because some of the selling points of the Cronus is its “stealth technology” and “100% undetectable” it’s probably against some rules somewhere.
My point is that people bring up the Cronusmax and state what it claims it can do and how unfair it is. Regardless what you think of it (I think it’s unfair) my question is, does it actually work? If you watch his footage, besides from the Lewis gun anti recoil clip and auto spot, do you see anything that would indicate he is cheating? Because his multiplayer footage is mediocre at best and if that is with the Cronus working then he sure as hell needs it. You don’t see him do anything impressive or impossible, it’s mostly single or double kills.
Most of what the Cronus “does” can be done with skill. Recoil control and having a good trigger finger is not impossible. I’m not saying that to justify the Cronus, but in that people who look like they are cheating may just be skilled.
I’m not saying this to start an argument or brag, but I have been reported for cheating 26 times. On one occasion in BF1 I was using a horse, and was killing a group of players repeatable. They would attempt to AT grenade/rocket gun me and get close but would not kill me. After killing them I would drop a health pack, because the horse has those, but they didn’t know this. So when I came back around on 100% health, they didn’t understand why. It’s easy to call someone a cheater when you don’t understand how and why something is happening.
At this point, we still haven’t seen any proof of cheaters.
Yeah and I said that the words he throws around like wallhacks and aimbots are not possible on consoles. What the thread then refers too are 3rd party hardware assets that have, as with the PC, legitimate uses, but can also be used to gain advantages in games that can appear as cheating. Just like on PC, where players draw the line, or if any developer can even detect these things.
Oh this one i like out of all of them. “DICE, my no recoil, machine gun M1 Carbine, and Auto Spotting aren’t Cheating…It’s Scripting”…LOL.
Wonder what they’d say to that.
Anyhow, the good thing that came out of this thread, is we now know (and should have already known), is that there is cheating on consoles. I couldn’t believe folks didn’t think that was the case…until i came here.
I think the disconnect was those that thought, if you couldn’t “hack” per se, that means you can’t cheat. That’s obviously not the case. There’s many other ways, and devices to cheat. Anyhow, DICE should really look into console cheating, because i would say as cheap as these devices are, it’s probably a bigger problem than we may think.
Personally, i was a bit taken back seeing folks didn’t believe modded controllers, and even cheating devices with aim lock, and rapid fire, and stick aim and the rest, is NOT cheating lol. I have to say, this is the only outlet i’ve ever heard that. But it could explain why this game gets to the point of unplayable, if many are using these devices, thinking it’s not cheating.
And they’re still at it. Shocks the conscience actually, but does answer a lot of questions . Seems the only way you can cheat according to these comments, is to hack the whole system with a computer lol.
Of course it is cheating, just like on PC when you see someone running around with a semi and you think directly, “yay, I wonder it this is a max rpm one without recoil or one that behaves as mine.”
