Detecting Cheats Options

[Clancey]

How in the hell do you determine (to a point of some certainty) that someone is using a cheat(s)? For example, tonight on COD2 a guy named LAGGY BITCH appeared to be cheating (I spectated a while and watched him) ...

twice the score of anyone else <LI>frequently seemed to kill guys with one shot to anywhere on the body <LI>made kills where the victim was not visible (bushes/etc in line of sight) and at times single shots from 300 yards away <LI>made kills at long distances with a pistol
• seemed to know where people were before visually spotting them (based on his movements)
• etc.

Many players were commenting about him and eventually left the game. Is there anything we can do prior to punkbuster? This was really frustrating.

Unfortunately are options are not just limited but almost non-existent without a client side anti-cheat.
I still have hope IW will make some type of formal announcement regarding their plans to incorporate a AC in the patch. Until then, will can only make a judgment call as the situation arises.
The evidence would have to be pretty overwhelming, I've played against a few people who I was sure was cheating. After watching them in spec, I realized they were just damn good.

There has been rampant talk about cheating.
The truth is, there are only a handful of cheats out for COD2 & each one doesn't work for the majority of the people who try them out.
