Death_Adder Interview

Ever call anyone a cheater? Probably you will accuse the suspect of using the infamous "AimBot." AimBots are reality, over at Counter-Strike.de they held an interview with the creator of the Aimbot. "Enjoy" this clip:

7. Many people are paranoid of players who get several headshots in a row on a server, while others have been falsely accused of cheating while playing fairly. Did you expect your release to impact the community in this way?

I released the AimBot before the headshot icon was added in Beta 7.x. Also, the AimBot aims for the chest because the head is too small of a target to accurately track. So no, I really didn't think that it would be as big of a deal as it is. Also, I don't believe that there are anymore headshots than there ever were, they just get noticed a lot more. I think a lot of it is still the people that claim "AimBot" or "headshot script" to make themselves feel better just as they did before one really even existed. I've been hearing that since about Beta 4 when accuracy was near its peak and aimbots were just myths. Back then you got made fun of if you claimed that someone was cheating. The only difference is that now you don't get made fun of.
