I have been thinking about this for a long time. What if we gathered the elite of the elite in Halo, who are all anti-aimbot, would the community be able to fight against the aimbots?

I am not good enough to be in a clan like this, but it is a good idea, is it not?

Uhhh hi, all the good players have been doing that for ages.

Nope, that is not true, trust me. You may have, but no one else has. Well, some other people have. If you are not going to be helpful, you might as well get off.

I guess 50% of the community has, which is not enough. I am asking more people to step up.

Well, forming a rebellion against aimbots sounds fun.

The banhammer is there for a reason.

I thought HIV was a botting clan... or was that another clan?

Also, to the guy who posted after you. Why did you bring up the banhammer?

Which shows just how much you know about the topic at hand.

Whats the point. There is no way to stop someone from aimbotting. That's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and if someone is aimbotting, just ban them from the server. And if its a ban free server, leave.

Exactly. Noone has created an anti-aimbot program, or any method that works 100%. H2_Zanzibar tried implementing groups of invisible motionless AI outside the map to screw up the aimbots, but you can still lock onto people just as often as the AI, so it's only a 50% success rate... You can watch them via Sightjacker, but if they're smart, you won't be able to tell the difference. And you can also simply tell them to type "@#$%*@*%&@&" or something that /requires/ the shift key, while you're watching them... If they take a long time to do it, and are standing still before hand? They're closing the aimbot. If they start flipping around while typing it? They're using the aimbot still...

All you can do, is pretty much, ban them from your servers, request the admin ban them from any server you're in, or, find a new server. That's just how it is.

My clan is something like....Anti-aimbot.
We hate aimbot and none of us use it but if anyone in the clan ever used it then that person would be banned...Not much but....yeah

Good point, however I was wondering if we could create an elite clan to combat aimbots, and show them what true skill could do. It won't fix the situation immediately, but you could keep trying. Soon, I would say 70% of aimbots would use skill. Even if it is not 70%, you could still do something to reduce botting...

At least we would be doing something... Something more than banning.

but for the elite clan to know that other players are botting would they not have to bot themselves through sightjacker etc??

No? What?

Well maybe I am understanding this wrong but I think there are only two ways to combat the aimbotters: (a) the clan in a public server check to see who is botting (through sightjacker,or guessing who is doing it) then totally own them
or
(b) set up a server and tell aimbotters to come in then own them??
because you would need to know who is aimbotting otherwise you could be attacking honest players

Well there is a way or a probable way to make a anti-bot program. First you need to know how to program/script in commands and structures for the coding. First you would build a aimbot and then you would look at it's coding and make a anti-bot something like that only opposite, it is hard to explain or understand what i'm saying here. You need to look at a aimbots coding first and maybe look up some tutorials.

umm. no, thats not the way it works. sorry to put you down like that.

Or you could have it block all the codes that would be affecting the game... If you understood any of that...

Then they'll make another aimbot with different coding.

In order to detect aimbots, you would need to program the game when you host a server so it will boot the person with the aimbot, but how would you even do that since the game is CLOSED SOURCE?

It would take a long time, but what if you block all coding?

Does anyone read my posts?

The Aimbot would be able to produce another one really fast, so that would be pointless.

What if a group of people circled in on an aimbot?

Oh get over it, aimbots are not going away, and there will always be botters. It's not hard to know whose doing it, and it's not hard to beat them. Most of them are set to aim at your head and won't be able to hit you if you crouch.

Also tbh I wouldn't trust any of you guessing at whose aimbotting since the majority of halo players with the same level of maturity as most of the members on this site scream and cry botter every 5 second whenever someone kills them or whenever someone gets a 3sk.

OH NO YOU GOT 3 SHOTS IN THE HEAD YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY AIMBOTTING

Another thing, aside from a few people on this site, none of you are anywhere close to qualifying to be in a good clan, and those who are, are already playing matches and scrims day and night.

Agreed, I just play and get better at avoiding them. It's easy to kill aimbotters. Its also easy to piss them off too so they will leave.

Though you said "aside from a few people", you did say "none of you are anywhere close to qualifying to be in a good clan". I lol'd. My best friend was in CIA for a while (which /used/ to be a decent clan), and I play better than he does. He'll admit to that... And yet, I don't play matches/scrims during the day/night. I don't even play in clans. Hell, I only play once every few months...

But, your first paragraph. Yes, there will always be aimbotters. Yes, it's not hard to beat them. It's also easy to piss them off, and have a blast playing against them, leaving them wondering "WHY ISN'T THIS AIMBOT WORKING?!" because they're getting owned.

And to the second paragraph, sadly, most of people who play Halo are like that; even in the 3 years I've been playing. I got to the point of playing against everyone, not assuming whether or not they're using an aimbot, because I honestly don't care. If they manage to shoot me easier than I can shoot them, they're not using an aimbot; that's all that matters to me.

The best way to beat aimbots? Get better at the game. Eventually your skill will exceed that of some little kid using a program that's not even really accurate (even less so if their ping time is excessively high)... Then, you don't have to worry about them, because you won't even know they're there; every time they show up, you'll have already killed them. Problem solved.

Auctually , aimbots do work when your ping is set to fit the lead that is programmed onto the Aimbot , they follow people even if they crouch , it all depends on the scripting. Although i believe that Bitterbannana's bot was the only one that could set lead , correct me if im wrong. Anyhow , it's frustrating to keep dying over and over because of someone pressing : "shift" to lock onto your head.

Excuse me, but what the F***!



Firefox >>>>>> IE
So seriously, FIX that.

oh wow lol :'D
you have no idea what you are talking about, valor dude. there was a national convention for hacking browsers. the hackers were paid to expose flaws in each browser.
http://arstechnica.com/security/news/2009/03/chrome-is-the-only-browser-left-standing-in-pwn2own-contest.ars
IE didnt win.

did you read anything i posted? apparently not.

just use the firefox addon IE tab. It fixes problems like that, so i could see the website.

jesus christ you are stupid

Two things. Ftfy @ green text. You're supposed to put your text between the [ green ] and [ /green ] tags.

Also, I lol'd. "HWD"? Never heard of it. Surely any anti-aimbot/cheat program would've been spread around the Halo community, and the fact I've never once heard of it in my 2+ years here sounds a little bit fishy to me.

But, you and your clan can keep your little program and support Aimbot "Awairness". In the meantime, I'll just be killing the players who use Aimbots, along with everyone else who just so happens to be on the opposing team as I am. It's much more fun that way.



I'm sorry, but I lol'd. In my 8+ years of using the internet, I've noticed that a lot of browsers say "best viewed in Firefox", but look absolutely awful when I use it. Also, if Firefox is so much better than IE, why, up until this year, was IE the leading browser? And why did Firefox create an option for "IE Tabs"?

I use Chrome for most basic browsing, because it's versatile but still very basic. Toolbars = fail, menu bar = fail, status bar = fail. I like having a very simple browser that leaves more room for the page... Everything Google's made, I find better than anything else...

But for when I need Flash, Java, Shockwave, ActiveX, or any support for things that Chrome tends to have issues with? I use IE. Firefox's support for the new Flash plugin is miserable at best, and despite the fact I have the latest version, I still constantly find it telling me I need to upgrade. Aside from that, even with 2 GB of memory, Firefox refuses to open until 3-4 minutes after I clicked the button on my Quick Launch. IE, on the other hand, opens pretty much instantly.

To each his own, personally; I like Firefox's plug-in feature, plus skins. It's nice to be able to use DownloadHelper, Now Playing X, ColorTabs, the All-In-One Sidebar, as well as have themes like iFox and Chromifox... But as far as the browser itself goes? It's just a slightly better version of NeoPlanet. It runs just as sluggishly. I'll stick with Internet Explorer, which supports anything and everything. ... including pop-ups. Hooray for Chrome at being an epic anti-pop-up browser.



I had Bitterbanana's aimbot on my old computer just to see how well it worked, and it's actually not that great. The farther away you are, and the higher your ping time, the farther off the aim/lead is. Aside from that, I can aim better with any ping time, than if I tried using an aimbot. I'm so used to adjusting my lead that the aimbot throws me off, and I'd have to use it the whole time and still get annihilated. I'd prefer to actually stand a chance and play normally...

Besides, the best way to win against aimbotters? ... Kill them. If you can't strafe and avoid shots well enough to get a 3SK, or even if you're a bad shot, a 7SK, then no offense, but you deserve to get killed by the aimbotter. I have no trouble with them whatsoever any time I play, because it's not really that accurate, unlike what people may think.

Is this the program?

Selfish?

It's either that or he's just BSing and has no app.

Shoot down those aimbotters with an AA Wraith! :P
