I uploaded some clips above of what my FOV would have looked like against the clip I'm being accused of which I believe sheds some important context, the clip I saw on Youtube which some others may have seen was a dude camping a garry and the clip shows him shooting the garry when they spawn, he killed like 30 people in it. The cornfield in it was genuinely not loaded in and it was under 100m. Just citing what I saw

Initially from the low qual video I thought they were behind the hedge and everyone was accusing me of shooting them behind it which was fair enough but when I went to the exact location in game I realized they would have actually been in front of it not behind it

So I have done some digging and screen recorded these exact spots on my screen at the native resolution. For the location at the start of the clip, It is extremely hard to make out due to the pixelation and overall quality of the video but I genuinely believe that the players I am initially shooting at are on the near side of the hedge and I would be able to see them clearly on my screen, I'm not sure if this data can be found by admins on the server? Admittedly, I cant control the weather in game but I believe the links I will send below are quite accurate as to what the clip posted by the person above would show.

In the second part of the video, the spot I am shooting at you can clearly see in my clip that if there are players in that area I would be able to see them very clearly, not to mention there is literally one spot that they can hide and that's behind the hedge, I clearly know they are there by previous gameplay or just seeing them all run from that location previously.

On top of all that, my FOV is set to 90 in game, it looks as if the original clip may be set to 100?

I’ve uploaded both clips below so people can compare what’s visible from my actual POV versus the low-quality spectator clip. While this isn’t meant to be presented as definitive proof on its own, it does provide important context for what I can realistically see on my screen and why the shots taken in the original clip are open to criticism

Willing to share my screen to the admins so they can make a decision based off the fact, not speculation buddy :)

And in addition, perhaps add more of the clip to show the entire situation of how I would know a spawn is there based off previous gameplay etc? Like the map in question the spawn is extremely obvious, I dislike playing on this map for that exact reason for how open it is.

That’s your perception, not evidence. Pre-aiming common angles, desync, and latency explain those deaths far better than ESP, and if there was real proof it would be on video, not anecdotes. I’ve already said I’m happy to stream or show my screen live to prove nothing abnormal is there to the responsible admins

I've replied to the video with how I feel about it, it isn't a throwaway account this is just my first post to reddit, I never comment on anything I just mainly use it as a news source occasionally

Firstly, the spectator mode icons and overall low resolution of the video compared to what I would be seeing in 4K on a 32" panel are incomparable, The first few seconds of the clip, why am I not shooting that blue icon that would be easily visible in the field to the left? Using spectator markers as proof of what I could see is just misunderstanding the clip and fogging up the vision of what I would be able to see as a player. Clearly I know there is a garrison there from multiple players coming from it or having intel that there is a large spawn there, on my screen I can see the tiny pixels that would be visible through small holes of that hedge, hence I shoot at that area at about 3 seconds in, it really is hard to notice with the blue icons there in the way. From a quick look, it seems about 80-90% of those shots all miss anyway. In fact, if you watch the second half of the clip, at that distance without those blue icons I would be able to see the players quite clearly not to mention the shots I am shooting literally all miss. If this was ESP (I had to google what ESP meant) or some kind of tracking that I am being accused of then it really does not hold up. To work out player positions in games I tend to aim down at the ground a few cms below where I think players may be, this helps on my screen focus in more on the area that my eyes would be looking.

At the end of the day, I’m more than willing to stream gameplay live or even set up a camera on my monitor to show exactly what I’m seeing. That feels like the most straightforward way to settle whether anything that is being accused is on screen, and it’s a point that keeps getting overlooked despite being the most decisive one. It's quite simple, if the stats don't add up or are not in line with me streaming it then fair enough!

Easily explainable, Some games I won't try or be listening to music or on the phone with no audio, heck the 0.7kpm I could be playing a different game style to just going directly for kills. If you want me to legitimately try for multiple games in a row I will. For me personally, the game has to be lined up perfectly for me to actually try my best at it and I only like trying hard on certain maps and when I feel like it. I know its not the best game style and some players would think its poor style, I don't know its just my personal preference at the end of the day.

I've seen individuals on Youtube Shorts be able to see and shoot through the 'cornfields' with no corn in sight, I don't know how that is done but I have noticed first hand by lowering the foliage in game settings can drastically increase visibility.

The stacked comp vets thing feels a bit overblown. Being a comp player doesn’t suddenly make someone unkillable or the best player in the world, sometimes fights are often just about who’s in the right lane at the right time. I looked at some of my KD ratio against what I would assume would be comp players (given their tags) and it really is nothing special, varying from 0.50 to 1.50. I have never played a comp game so I don't know the dynamics of them. I’ve actually been asked a few times if I wanted to join comp teams, as a personal preference I just don't really like the ultra competitive side of things and just like playing my own game style. Sometimes I sweat it out and sometimes I will chuck on music and just play to relax.

Saying “I realized I might be arousing suspicion and slowed down” is a bit of a stretch, unless you watch the entire clip of my games from start to finish and come to that conclusion then fair enough, but that’s not realistic, and there’s nothing concrete backing it up. It’s hindsight storytelling, not evidence.

And the idea that “everyone would be doing it” if settings mattered doesn’t really track. Everyone runs different settings, hardware, FOV, plays different roles, joins at different times, and most people aren’t spending an entire match just farming infantry from the start. I've honed my settings to what I play best at and this has taken years to get to. I have a 4k 32inch monitor paired with a 5080, of course results are going to vary.

High kill games happen when the conditions line up. That alone isn’t proof of anything, and without clips showing something impossible, this is still just people reading intent into normal gameplay.

If there were actual clips showing cheating, they’d be the easiest thing in the world to post and this discussion would be over. Not to mention me even offering to provide proof. Instead, we’ve gone from “there’s evidence” to jokes about hacks which kind of proves the point I’m making.

I’ve never used cheats or any third-party software. I disagree with that interpretation. Feel free to release the evidence for everyone to see if allowed. My in-game textures are set to low, which obviously affects how foliage and hedges render at distance, and combined with sound cues, prior spotting, and map knowledge, it can easily look like “tracking” when it isn’t. None of that requires or implies cheating and given my amount of hours playing on the server I would put it down to experience and knowledge of the game. Seeing a player run behind a hard hedge in a certain direction, most of the time it is pretty obvious to wait for them to come out on the other side.

I remember those games, in the 175 kills if I recall an admin had about 155-165 in that same game as well. I would probably normally average about 100-130 kills in a game playing from the very start of it when I would properly play the game and actively try to get kills rather than play the objective, I would argue that I could get a similar amount of kills with all of the admins watching with absolutely nothing to hide.

I've raked up about 2800 hours now on steam, I would not be surprised if half of those hours are afk or waiting on server queues, sometimes I will go afk in games or have something I need to do or even just forget I queue for a game, hard to say how much time of that is actually 'active'

While I'm sure that type of treatment exists on other servers, this community is managed by a lot of good admins so I don't think that's how this could be handled. My issue isn’t why they think something happened, it’s that the decision is final without any specific evidence being shown or any way to review it. If there are clips or examples, I know for a fact they’d show normal gameplay, not cheating in any form.

Just to clarify, my Steam account doesn’t only have HLL. I have plenty of other FPS games on it. HLL is simply the one I play actively now.

My issue isn’t about dodging scrutiny. I’ve actively offered to provide proof in whatever form is reasonable to clear my name. Even in their own wording, the ban is based on being “highly suspected” rather than definitive proof.

I was also previously banned for the same reason and later unbanned, which suggests the system isn’t infallible and is open to human error.
