This is not conclusive proof because you have no sound and you have no
previous rounds from the player. I certainly don't think it proof of
which you could add him to a global banlist.
He may have been able to hear the gun that the guy was shooting. The
other player may consistently go that way so the player being spec'ed
had a good idea of where he would be. The wall shot he tries to make is
most probably a CS1.6 trait being that you cant really wall bang as much
in source and very few players do it. Also note the snap shot he tries
to make through the wall isn't actually on the enemy.
A lot of newer players are easy to read and if they find an attack
pattern that works for them they tend to stick to it. A seasoned player
as i'm sure many of you are will have a good idea what they are going to
do even before they decide to do it. The player being spec'ed may have
noticed that his enemy was going that way and picking off guys from that
vantage point. Viewing a demo with a wall hack on also tends to make a
spectator more biased.
As to Vac, you only realise how good vac is when you turn it off. Let
your public servers run a few days without Vac2 on and see what happens.
Yes vac isn't a great solution but it does help cut down a lot of
cheats. Steambans do a lot of good but..... With global banlists there
is a small margin of error meaning false positives will be banned
unfairly. There was also the problem that Steam-ID's where showing
incorrectly in game servers a few months back meaning SteamBans may have
banned a number of players wrongly as the demos / screenshots could have
shown the wrong SteamID.
Add to this that a demo file can be altered and a screenshot can be
adjusted. Would you want your innocence put up for examination?
