    There's a lot of situational and environmental clues in APB that can help put you in the right direction if you pay attention.  Everything you mentioned plus stuff like noticing when pedestrians start running, watching for boxes and crap that people kick around corners while peeking, listening for the environmental sounds (dogs barking in some areas for instance) that are on a trigger, the radar, and a myriad of other stuff I can't think of right now.  Oh, and luck.

    I have psychic moments on good days. If I would spectate myself I'd ban myself.

    Nice one.

     

    I'd like to add a humble comment about this, as someone who have been playing ~6-7 years and also I've been a cheater myself on a different game that was also a third-person-shooter back in 2003/2005 lasting years doing what is known as "closet cheater" I can tell it is impossible to determine if someone is using wall-hacks unless you can spectate everyone's name tags/icons through objects to see if the suspect is effectively tracking enemies through the walls, plus the fact that there are methods to by-pass BattleEye which means that the current available cheats that many hackers already coded in the past would only need to bypass BE in order to work, without the need of much more coding or none at all, so I'd put a very special attention in those players flagged f there are any.

     

    Regarding trigger-bot and macros those are also hard to tell by just "spectating" but FF and BE should do a good work to flag these so I'd put my trust on it, and last but not least you have the "smooth aimbot" which is when a player does not exactly "snaps" but is smoothly transitioning from one target to another while locking his aim on targets, they set it up like this to avoid triggering flags by FF.

     

    The problem is that an experienced players knows how to toggle on and off his hacks to avoid suspicions and they can even assign a key for the auto-aim button which they only tap a few times when engaging so they land enough shots while still making it look natural. To enforce their "closet" techniques they could even refrain of being on top scores so they don't get fingers pointing at them, sounds oddly difficult to determine any of this so I'm just saying what would be possible for them to do but not claiming that anyone in particular is doing so.

     

    I'm concerned with the amount of methods to bypass BE that seems to be available out there, I just hope that along with FF and GMs spectating players they manage to spot cheaters when it comes to it, and the fact that it can be a 7 years old player shouldn't make any difference if FF and BE are flagging them, these should stay under the scope more than anyone else even if you can't spot anything on first sight but lately someone else is able to report new suspicious behaviors on a same player.

     

    I hope you guys improve the /report function as well since it would be really useful to stealthy send a message specifying what is what we are reporting, such as if it is a griefer, a player insulting other players, or any other of the many possible disruptions of the game the players can do.

     

    Regards,

    Sal.

    I would be very careful with wallhacks. You can get position reports from team, you can hear the door, ladder, sometimes foot steps and often you can have a hunch after playing for years. Unless someone is really tracking enemies thru the walls with high precision. When it comes to wh I'd hackusate myself many times and yet I know that I'm legit.

    Anyone remember old school lag-switching? This was the chetz of the day 10 years ago.

    Man P2P games like Dead By Daylight are still plagued by this. I was always wondering if some people lagswitch in APB.

    Some people can be immortal for months and that's pretty awesome luck

    Also on this note, one of the things people have seemed to have forgotten is that there is terrible sync issues with APB, the server, and your client. What you see is not what the server sees and in turn is not what your OP sees. This leads to a lot of WTF moments in game such as getting run over when you are no where near a car... or dying 15 ft behind a wall after taking cover. also dying after the other guy appears to be a bullet sponge.

    Yeah all of it happens most of the time when enemy has high ping or shitty internet. Not always tho
