The problem we are facing more and more, is that it is becoming almost impossible to distinguish between really good players and hackers/cheaters.
Looking at the "features" of the MSX CSS hack, it is designed to be undetected to the trained eye, meaning its potentially undetectable. 2 examples below: * Aimbot. Has 2 settings - League and Rager. Use League for undetected use, and Rager for all out headshots. * Smooth Aiming - For when you dont want people to know your cheating The full list is here: http://www.msxsecurity.com/css.php This will mean that there is a good chance decent/pro players will be banned from public servers, as the admins won't know whether they are cheating or not. The majority of aimbots and aimhacks out there snap instantly to a persons head, and stay locked on. Looking at the demo vids of this hack, it is quite fluid and smooth, and matches the likeliness of what a real player would do with their aiming (i.e.-Never 100% accurate). A close friend of mine has been recently banned for aimbotting even though he had a group of friends with him watching him play - all knowing he doesn't hack. Because of his play style, it must have looked like he was using some sort of hack, when clearly he wasn't. It's situations like the above that will bring down the median skill level of public server play, as all the good players will end up sooner or later being banned for suspected hacking. On a side note, does anyone know how this hack is initiated? Is it some sort of game.dll hook or overlay-type app? Will be interesting to see what Valve have in the works to prevent this sort of hack.
