Nearly every time I play, it feels like at least half the enemies are cheating. Is matchmaking really so shit, that it has to put me with players that crap all over me every time I play?
I'm addicted to the game, and I love FPS, but, it's rarely fun, usually unpleasant and full of stress. I'm tired of fighting aimbots and/or aimbot-like players who don't even seem human - they just get too many hits, and spot you instantly no matter whether you're far away, have cover or whatnot. Am I glowing red on their screen even though they don't have Bloodhound or Crypto? WTAF?

I think everyone, but ESPECIALLY contributors to established gaming sites, should be a little bit careful how they express themselves in articles like this.
The author of this article claims that "hack is less noticeable to Anti-Cheat" but is this statement even true? Because as far as I know, most anti cheats rather scans the memory for illegal softwarethan measuring abnormal accuracy etc.
And even IF the anticheats only looked at in game data like accuracy, it wouldnt be super hard to flag abnormal behavior for that kind of measurements either. If someone lands 70-80% instead of 100% of his shots, every time he uses his gun, at all distances, this would also flag a cheater etc.
My problem with these kinds of unproven statements is that it spreads the false truth that everyone is free to cheat, and soon we will have a community when EVERY single gold skilled player will scream "CHEATER" every time he got lazed by a Diamond or Master player.
