Summary

TLDRThe video analyzes the rise in video game cheating methods and aim assist devices, delving into popular devices that give players advantages like Cronus Zen and comparing them to blatant cheating via code injection. It debates if these devices are considered cheating, calling out the need for clearer policies from game developers. The narrator argues we need better native controller settings rather than power creeping aim assist as a 'band-aid' fix. They ask if certain assisted devices should be permitted for accessibility while questioning how developers can differentiate them from cheating effectively. Ultimately more specificity is called for in cheating policies.

Q & A

  • What are some of the most common cheating methods used in gaming?

    -Some of the most common cheating methods mentioned in the script are code injection, aim bots, Cronus and XIM devices, macros, scripts like anti-recoil and auto-crouch, and hardware modifications like turbo controllers.

  • How do Cronus and XIM give players an advantage?

    -Cronus and XIM allow players to use mouse and keyboard on console while retaining aim assist advantages of a controller. They can also run scripts that automate gameplay aspects like recoil control.

  • What are some reasons players cheat in games?

    -Reasons mentioned include wanting to beat other cheaters, monetary incentives, learning more about the game, community inclusion, having aim assist on mouse and keyboard, low risk of getting banned, and poor in-game controller settings.

  • What does the author think about accessibility devices being used to cheat?

    -The author says it's a tricky issue. Real accessibility needs should be accommodated but it can be hard to differentiate from cheating. There's a gray area when skilled players use scripts meant for accessibility.

  • What does the author suggest to combat cheating?

    -The author suggests more frequent and ruthless banning in high level PVP matches, along with more specific and fast cheating policies. He also suggests improving in-game controller settings.

  • What are the author's thoughts on Destiny 2's controller settings?

Keywords

๐Ÿ’กCheating

The main theme of the video is discussing various forms of cheating in video games. This includes software and hardware devices like aim bots, wall hacks, code injection, cronus, zen, etc. that give players unfair advantages. The video analyzes the spectrum of cheating methods from more subtle (cronus) to obvious (code injection) and discusses motivations, justifications, accessibility issues, and detection.

๐Ÿ’กScripts

Scripts refer to lines of code that automate or enhance certain actions in a video game, like reducing recoil on guns or perfectly timing certain moves. They are used with devices like Cronus Zen to gain competitive advantages. The video discusses various powerful scripts that can make mediocre players much more effective.

๐Ÿ’กCronus/Zen

Cronus and Zen are brands of third party hardware devices that connect to controllers to enable cheating scripts and mods. According to the video, they make mouse/keyboard more precise on console and run scripts that automate gameplay aspects like recoil control.

๐Ÿ’กController Mods

The video discusses advanced modified controllers with extras like paddles, buttons, and hall effect sticks. Some give competitive advantages, so gaming communities have to regulate their use.

๐Ÿ’กAim Assist

Aim assist is an auto-aim feature on console games that helps players target enemies. The video suggests Cronus/Zen devices allow mouse/keyboard users to unfairly benefit from strong aim assist meant for controllers.

๐Ÿ’กAccessibility

The video touches on how cheating intersects with accessibility needs for disabled gamers. It asks where the line should be drawn for allowing scripts/software for medical reasons vs. competitive fairness.

๐Ÿ’กM&K

M&K stands for mouse and keyboard controls on PC/console. The video argues Cronus/Zen devices give mouse/keyboard users the aiming precision of PC controls plus the aim assist strengths of a controller.

๐Ÿ’กBan Policy

The video criticizes the lack of clear, consistently enforced ban policies for cheaters across various games. It argues stricter banning would deter cheating.

๐Ÿ’กController Settings

Limited in-game controller customization (dead zones, curves, aim styles etc.) prompts players to use Cronus/Zen instead. The video argues better native settings could reduce cheating incentives.

๐Ÿ’กCompetitive Advantages

The through-line of the video is showing how various software and hardware cheat methods give players unfair competitive advantages, automating complex moves or enhancing aiming precision beyond normal human ability.

Highlights

Popular cheating methods ordered by impactfulness from very obvious cheating to more accepted methods

Cronus and other devices enable scripts that automate gameplay but don't provide aimbot or wall hacks

High skill players may feel inclined to cheat for various reasons like beating other cheaters or monetary incentives

Accessibility needs make differentiating cheating very tricky; where is the line drawn on allowed scripts?

Bungie's stance bans programmable controllers but the language is vague on what that actually means

The cheating policy needs to be specific, fast and ruthless in high skill brackets to curb cheating there

Better native controller settings are needed rather than just power creeping aim assist to make it feel better

In the current state, it feels like cheaters are the only ones allowed to bypass the poor controller implementation

Drop ban hammers more frequently and have ruthless cheating policies focused on top PvP players

Fighting Lion is the best anti-cheat in Destiny showing how bad the situation is

Asks what legitimate console configs players use since many claim to be legit but actually cheat

Better settings would allow more intentional plays rather than cheaters bypassing terrible implementation

Cheaters will cheat anyway so might as well make it feel better for legit players

Thanks Aztecross for motivating the completion of this cheating discussion video

Seeks actual suggestions for good controller configs on console Destiny without cheating devices

play00:00

hey friends today's video is a slide

play00:02

presentation of the rise of Zim cronis

play00:04

cheating I know azac cross did a similar

play00:06

video but that's what spurred me to

play00:08

finish this project I've been toying

play00:11

around with it for a while and finally

play00:12

thought of the right way to convey some

play00:14

of my thoughts and I Ed the slide for to

play00:16

stay on topic and keep the comment

play00:18

section dialed in so that they don't

play00:20

write useless comments and I can make a

play00:22

better video in the

play00:23

future popular cheating methods in order

play00:26

of impactfulness so goes from red to

play00:29

Green where green is mostly accepted by

play00:31

The Gaming Community and red is very

play00:33

obviously cheating and most anti-che

play00:35

would pick it up in a heartbeat and ban

play00:37

you at least sometimes they do ban waves

play00:40

not getting into that right now code

play00:42

injection changing the game's executable

play00:44

code in real time artificial

play00:46

intelligence AI assisting the player

play00:48

with enhanced information or performing

play00:51

perfect inputs Zim that's a converter

play00:53

that recognizes mouse and keyboard on

play00:55

Console while retaining all advantages

play00:57

of a assist keep in mind that if you are

play00:59

the best mouse and keyboard player in

play01:00

the world Zim is actually a downgrade

play01:03

unless of course you're running scripts

play01:05

but in the case of a assista mouse and

play01:07

keyboard if you're using a projectile

play01:09

weapon and you're really good at aiming

play01:11

and someone runs across your screen

play01:12

right in front of your target you're not

play01:14

going to be able to correct your aim

play01:16

because the aim assist will drag your

play01:18

Crosshair away from where you

play01:19

intentionally want to aim there's also

play01:22

the case of games like Destiny 2 where

play01:24

certain weapons in the game favor

play01:26

controller and certain weapons favor

play01:28

mouse and keyboard if you use Zim you

play01:31

don't get to take advantage of the good

play01:32

M andk weapons but you do get to

play01:34

uniquely take advantage of the

play01:36

controller weapons with more Precision

play01:39

especially if you run scripts I'll

play01:41

Define what that means in a future slide

play01:44

cronis enables scripts and has advanced

play01:46

settings on controller it's a USB device

play01:49

Brooke is also a USB device this is a

play01:51

converter that sole purpose is to

play01:53

recognize Xbox controllers on

play01:55

PlayStation and vice versa these are

play01:58

very helpful in the fighting game

play01:59

community but some newer models do have

play02:01

turbos and macros and scripts but

play02:04

essentially it also has a tournament

play02:05

mode so that the tournament organizer

play02:07

can okay it and you're allowed to

play02:10

compete over the years controllers have

play02:12

had many Hardware advancements take your

play02:15

standard Xbox controller then we get the

play02:16

Xbox Elite controller with paddles and

play02:18

custom software then we have the modular

play02:21

thrustmaster now we have hall effect

play02:23

sticks Etc gyro aiming all the above

play02:26

controllers are so Advanced so Advanced

play02:28

that the community sometimes has to come

play02:30

together to decide what is allowed in

play02:32

competitive play and what isn't

play02:34

sometimes developers update their

play02:35

anti-che and it all happens through

play02:37

Community discourse like I'm doing right

play02:40

now so for example in the fighting in

play02:42

community we have our standard lever our

play02:44

standard fight stick and then we have

play02:46

our leverless controller like this

play02:48

hitbox and the advantage of the hitbox

play02:50

is although it's a short amount of time

play02:52

it does take time for example to go from

play02:54

left to right with the stick whereas

play02:57

with the hitbox you're using four

play02:58

fingers it's instant it's like one

play03:01

millisecond and in some cases you can

play03:04

use opposite directions to instantly

play03:06

perform an input and so to combat this

play03:10

they require that you have something

play03:11

called socd cleaning software which

play03:13

prevents simultaneous opposite cardinal

play03:16

directions from being inputed at the

play03:18

same

play03:19

time so if you're not following those

play03:21

rules the hitbox is not legal so here we

play03:25

go standard controller legal hitbox

play03:27

legal but it has to follow the rules and

play03:29

we have this pizza box with all these

play03:31

buttons on it it's somehow still legal

play03:34

because it has the

play03:35

SD and it follows the rules to a T and

play03:39

you have to respect it even though they

play03:41

they could be argued to get an advantage

play03:43

by just sliding their hand across to

play03:44

perform a combination input in the game

play03:48

you still got to respect that they

play03:49

followed the rules now we have this

play03:52

dinky Nintendo 64 controller with a

play03:54

turbo function and that's banned because

play03:56

it's using a turbo function which

play03:58

automates

play04:00

inputs even in real life in Marathon

play04:03

running Hardware caught a ban take for

play04:05

example the marathon world record holder

play04:07

these shoes were slightly too efficient

play04:09

so they got

play04:11

banned let's go over some amosy

play04:13

definitions that'll really put

play04:14

everything I just talked about together

play04:17

tension when the control stick is barely

play04:19

moved so the input registers friction

play04:23

when the reticle slows down when you're

play04:25

near the target adhesion when either

play04:28

stick the left stick or the right stick

play04:30

is tensioned the reticle will now

play04:32

automatically track a moving Target auto

play04:35

aim or bullet deflection that's when

play04:38

your reticle is off Target but the

play04:40

bullets Bend to correct and I am

play04:42

oversimplifying all of this by the way

play04:44

hit box and hurt box the size of the

play04:46

Target or the size of the bullet keep in

play04:49

mind mouse and keyboard typically does

play04:51

not receive adhesion or friction though

play04:54

in Halo infinite for example they're

play04:56

experimenting with giving M andk players

play04:58

the option to feel that to feel the

play05:00

power what is a script a script is a

play05:03

line of code that tells the input device

play05:05

to automate certain inputs turbo if a

play05:08

button is held down it repeatedly

play05:10

presses it fast this could be full auto

play05:12

fire bunny hopping whatever macro a list

play05:15

of commands always done to exact timing

play05:18

activated by a single button press in

play05:21

Destiny 2's case this could be again

play05:23

Titan skating this could be well skating

play05:25

shatter skating all the above imagine in

play05:28

a PVP setting now bow string cancelling

play05:31

where you're able to get the perfect

play05:32

draw every time by just tapping reload

play05:34

when you've already full drawn another

play05:36

could be bypassing fighting Lion's melee

play05:38

lockout timer you can get really

play05:40

creative with macros and I don't want to

play05:42

spin the entire video on that but just

play05:44

know you can argue that it gives you an

play05:46

advantage the real ones where there's

play05:49

not really much of an argument is

play05:51

anti-recoil if the right trigger is

play05:53

detected as held then the right thumb

play05:55

stick is moved just down enough to

play05:57

compensate for the recoil depending on

play05:59

what weapon is used extra a asses this

play06:03

is technical Jon all it really does is

play06:05

just minimally tension the stick

play06:08

repeatedly so that it registers friction

play06:11

and adhesion so that's what these

play06:12

companies call more a assist it's

play06:15

technically correct but all it does is

play06:17

just Jitter the stick back and forth and

play06:19

some it's funny some gamers in the

play06:21

comment section of these like Zim and

play06:23

Zen videos they're like complaining dude

play06:25

it just like it moves my stick all over

play06:27

the place I don't know what setting I I

play06:28

misplaced it's like it's hilarious to me

play06:31

that so many of these cronis and Zim

play06:32

users like suck at using their own

play06:34

devices like I almost want to optimize

play06:36

it for them then rematch them just

play06:38

because it's so sad then we have autoc

play06:41

Crouch if the right trigger is held then

play06:44

the Crouch button is also spammed in

play06:46

conjunction with it and game to game

play06:48

this is going to give you an advantage

play06:50

but in in Destiny 2 it's really not you

play06:53

can argue it is in some very specific

play06:55

cases it is but it's really stupid what

play06:57

just grinds people's gears is that

play06:59

they're not doing it manually software

play07:01

is doing it for

play07:03

them all this being said though Zim and

play07:06

chronis does not automatically make you

play07:08

effective you can't take a bad player

play07:09

and turn them into a God just for using

play07:12

these device with optimized scripts it's

play07:14

just not possible Zim utilizes mouse and

play07:17

keyboard on Console to be more precise

play07:19

in addition to running scripts cronis

play07:21

runs scripts that automate gameplay

play07:23

aspects at the end of the day they still

play07:25

have to aim at other players they just

play07:28

have less input combinations to get in

play07:30

the way of just aiming mouse and

play07:32

keyboard Precision with friction and

play07:34

adhesion perfect controller

play07:36

customization this is a big one you can

play07:38

modify dead zones have custom response

play07:40

curves remap buttons to anything on a

play07:42

controller or a mouse and keyboard Etc

play07:45

what they do not have is Aimbot

play07:47

injection and wall hacks or that type of

play07:50

thing so I really want to drive this

play07:52

home it doesn't make you like

play07:54

automatically as

play07:56

effective as code injection and AI it's

play07:59

it's not the same

play08:02

thing however cheating is not just for

play08:06

bad Players let's listen to a quote from

play08:08

Carl Jos another content creator in my

play08:11

experience when it comes to luck based

play08:12

games players don't cheat to get a

play08:14

faster time they cheat to get a Time

play08:17

faster even outside of speedrunning in

play08:20

FPS games this concept holds true High

play08:23

scho players still feel inclined to

play08:24

cheat for one reason or another some

play08:27

that come to mind for me are just as

play08:28

cheating making other cheaters lose

play08:31

because they deserve the loss so if they

play08:33

cheat and you cheat you're making a

play08:35

cheater lose and proving to them that

play08:36

they suck so that's why you feel

play08:38

inclined to do it then we have the

play08:40

monetary incentive you make money off

play08:42

selling leaderboard positions boosting

play08:44

recovs winning tournament money here's a

play08:46

very specific one that a lot of youall

play08:48

probably wouldn't use but it's using

play08:50

cheats to learn more about the game than

play08:52

to not use them and play legit in a

play08:54

tournament so an example of this would

play08:56

be like if you could walk through walls

play08:58

have a develop ER con fig that type of

play09:01

thing game that shows exact grenade

play09:03

distances uh trajectories all those and

play09:06

then reverse engineering it to use it

play09:08

legitimately to beat other players You

play09:10

could argue that's cheating right then

play09:12

there's the most obvious one which is

play09:15

discourse Community inclusion using

play09:17

sheats to get your foot in the door to

play09:18

meet other high school players or to

play09:20

feel wanted desired by other teammates

play09:23

and recognized by just random people in

play09:25

matchmaking acknowledg for being good

play09:28

people just want to be loved at the end

play09:30

of the day so I hope that if you're

play09:32

cheating out there you realize that you

play09:34

will still find a discourse Community

play09:36

even if you're not good at a game in

play09:38

fact being bad at a game sort of has

play09:40

some charm to it if you go about it with

play09:42

the right attitude so yeah you don't

play09:45

have to cheat I hate to break it to

play09:48

you so let's look at stats for my last

play09:50

trials weekend you can look these up if

play09:53

you really want to but just like trust

play09:55

that I I fudg the numbers just for sake

play09:57

of the example here legit I won 90% of

play10:00

my three stack trials matches last week

play10:02

while playing on my inferior controller

play10:04

skill because I suck at controller that

play10:07

number goes up if I switch to mouse and

play10:08

keyboard some good players look at 90%

play10:11

and wonder if they could bump it up to

play10:13

99% or 100 all it would take for me is a

play10:16

simple wall hack injection and I'd bet

play10:18

my life savings that it would be enough

play10:20

to beat 99% of legit teams and 95% of

play10:23

all teams thoughts like this is what can

play10:25

lead a player to be a Justice cheater

play10:28

where they think they Des deserve to win

play10:29

against other suspect players since

play10:31

they're likely doing it

play10:34

too so these are the reasons why Zim and

play10:36

cronis is so widespread number one and

play10:39

this is the biggest one years ago and

play10:41

maybe even now you could just walk into

play10:44

GameStop and just and buy

play10:46

this and that is just top of mind to

play10:49

everybody they just think it's like

play10:50

anything buying a code book back in the

play10:52

day to cheat in a single player game

play10:54

it's not the same

play10:55

thing number two you're allowed because

play10:58

of of the idea of accessibility in

play11:00

gaming because no game developer wants

play11:03

to tell someone they're not allowed to

play11:04

play their game because they're impaired

play11:06

it's not a good look number three play

play11:10

to win Gamers doing what they think is

play11:11

the most competitive modification to win

play11:14

remember the pizza box controller you

play11:16

got to respect it and in the same regard

play11:18

if they're not Banning Zim and cronis

play11:20

like at all and the developer hasn't

play11:22

even acknowledged it well then you're

play11:24

not playing to win if you're not making

play11:25

scripts for the game I hate to say it

play11:28

but there is some truth to that although

play11:30

I won't personally do that number four

play11:33

Justice cheaters wanting a assist on

play11:35

mouse and keyboard they're mad that they

play11:37

put time into getting good not perfect

play11:39

with mnk and they want to feel the power

play11:42

of controller so they're willing to Zim

play11:45

to get it number five it's no risk in a

play11:49

very high safety verification rate

play11:51

meaning you've heard of other people who

play11:52

Z and chronus and don't get banned and

play11:54

you know for sure that if you go buy the

play11:56

software and download the scripts that

play11:58

it's very likely you're not going to get

play11:59

a virus on your computer or something

play12:01

like that number six lack of theater

play12:04

mode and killcam this can be potential

play12:06

embarrassment to the trained eye if they

play12:09

can see someone is obviously cheating

play12:11

from their firstperson point of view

play12:13

that's a reason why a lot of them don't

play12:15

stream or don't record content because

play12:17

the cheating is that obvious even to

play12:19

normal players and some do still stream

play12:23

by the way there's ways to mask it on

play12:25

OBS and other recording software number

play12:29

seven lack of specific controller

play12:31

settings in games by developers that's a

play12:34

really big one you start looking to

play12:35

things like cronis and Zim to solve

play12:38

problems of what the game cannot solve

play12:40

because for some reason or another the

play12:41

game feels terrible to play number eight

play12:44

the ban policy is unspecific slow and

play12:47

there's only mild punishment this is a

play12:50

huge reason why the Bing problem was so

play12:52

bad in RuneScape as across use that

play12:54

example too number nine monetary

play12:57

incentive to rec accounts Garner stream

play13:00

following or in the case the company to

play13:02

have Cheaters buy extra copies of a game

play13:05

that's also huge for the RuneScape

play13:06

bonding

play13:08

problem accessibility this is the

play13:11

elephant in the room and do not

play13:13

misconstrue my words I want everybody in

play13:16

the world to enjoy

play13:18

gaming I said it the Xbox adaptive

play13:22

controller allows controller attachments

play13:24

that include wi style nunchucks foot

play13:27

pedals even a quad leic joystick mod

play13:30

there's other things like that and it

play13:32

takes custom software and a lot of

play13:34

Ingenuity to make these realistically

play13:36

function you can buy it you can plug in

play13:38

a lot of stuff but that's not a promise

play13:40

that it's going to work it takes a lot

play13:42

of tinkering so hats off to anybody who

play13:45

finds a perfect setup perfect config for

play13:49

whatever unlucky circumstances they

play13:51

encounter in life but you can combine it

play13:53

with ey trackers gyro aim and other

play13:55

clever technology to get that result and

play13:58

chances are the game dabs are just going

play14:00

to let it slide as they should because

play14:02

it is a serious

play14:04

issue but this is the elephant in the

play14:07

room how the heck is antiche supposed to

play14:09

differentiate real accessibility from

play14:11

cheating for example an accessibility

play14:14

need may be to Turbo Press buttons

play14:16

repeatedly to complete an action in the

play14:18

game who's to say that same macro can't

play14:20

be used to hit perfect bunny

play14:22

hops is there a skill threshold that an

play14:26

impaired player needs to hit before

play14:28

Scripts and custom software are no

play14:30

longer okay is it a 1.5 kill death ratio

play14:33

as soon as they hit two it's like I'm

play14:34

sorry if you're impaired but you need to

play14:36

cut that out now what about an

play14:39

already skilled player what if they trip

play14:40

and fall down the down the stairs and

play14:42

break an arm what if the new addition of

play14:44

scripts make up and exceed their new

play14:46

found lack of Mobility you see how

play14:49

tricky this subject can

play14:51

become this is Bunchie stance on third

play14:53

party peripherals entering their villain

play14:55

Arc from the this week in Destiny

play14:57

article on April ail 13th 2023 I'm not

play15:01

going to read the whole thing but I am

play15:03

going to highlight some specific

play15:05

verbiage in these three bullet points so

play15:08

it says um programmable controllers are

play15:12

not allowed and they don't elaborate

play15:14

with what that means they say they want

play15:16

to experience the game the designers

play15:20

intended which means that you shouldn't

play15:22

gain an

play15:24

advantage meant for the purpose of

play15:26

achieving victory

play15:29

spare me if for not reading this whole

play15:31

thing pause the video and read it right

play15:33

now okay moving

play15:36

on what is a programmable controller

play15:39

does this include controllers with

play15:41

customization software like the elite

play15:43

controller where you can change the

play15:45

stick sensitivity and the response

play15:47

curves is that what that means does this

play15:50

include controllers that can run

play15:52

automation scripts but choose not to

play15:56

think about every keyboard manufacturer

play15:57

these days go go into your keyboard

play15:59

settings right now I'm sure that you

play16:01

will see a button called macro and you

play16:03

can just use that in the game you could

play16:05

use that in Destiny 2 right now and I

play16:07

will bet you money that you will not get

play16:08

banned for

play16:10

it does this also imply that steam input

play16:13

is disallowed is it only okay to modify

play16:17

if you're playing on PC to modify

play16:19

controller if you're playing on PC what

play16:21

about rewas what about DS4 windows I

play16:24

want you to look at what steam input

play16:26

allows you can just search this up by

play16:28

the way it's easily findable you can

play16:30

have no recoil more aim assist automatic

play16:34

looting automatic building and it's just

play16:37

there easily

play16:39

searchable and you can use it in the

play16:41

game too I'm sure antiche will flag it

play16:43

but in Destiny too are you kidding me I

play16:46

don't think it would I've lost all faith

play16:49

in that that's super sad to

play16:51

say back to the article what does

play16:54

gaining an advantage

play16:56

mean it's number three

play16:59

so I'm nitpicking here just to

play17:00

demonstrate how tricky the subject is so

play17:03

as long as the player isn't winning

play17:05

that's okay well then what if they leave

play17:07

the match right before winning what if

play17:09

they ignore public matchmaking

play17:10

altogether and only host private lobbies

play17:13

what if the mods or scripts that they

play17:14

use make them play worse than their

play17:16

normal setup what if they're already the

play17:19

rank number one player before using

play17:21

scripts for

play17:22

fun is it okay then to run mild USB

play17:26

devices like a brook adapter is the line

play17:29

only drawn at recoil aim assist and

play17:31

Crouch

play17:32

macros what about gaining the advantage

play17:35

of not having to manually delete 384

play17:39

Dawning Essence to prevent repetitive

play17:41

stress injury what about breaking the

play17:44

world record of no sleep while you shoot

play17:47

thw in the shattered Throne dungeon to

play17:48

farm light level I know I'm poking the

play17:50

bear on this one but everyone is

play17:55

definitely a little guilty of some of

play17:57

these of skirting the line just a little

play17:59

bit and going into the gray area and we

play18:02

go all the way back to the top here it

play18:05

is a spectrum that depends on context I

play18:09

know when I was playing Fantasy Star

play18:10

online too every day that they had a

play18:12

macro policy that as long as it wasn't

play18:15

affecting in-game combat and that sort

play18:17

of thing I'm paraphrasing here it was

play18:19

perfectly okay so if you really just

play18:20

wanted to delete 3,800 and4 Dawning

play18:23

Essences in your inventory you

play18:25

absolutely

play18:27

could

play18:29

an unenforceable policy so this is an

play18:31

article from Euro gamer it says fire

play18:34

teammates of Destiny 2 cheaters may be

play18:36

banned says Bungie even if they didn't

play18:38

cheat themselves so what this is saying

play18:40

is that if you have a friend who cheats

play18:42

and you play with them you're going to

play18:44

get

play18:45

banned this is really dumb it's honestly

play18:48

unenforceable unless you have some extra

play18:51

information that isn't obviously

play18:52

available and this is why I say this how

play18:55

the heck would you know 100% that you're

play18:58

playing with the cheater like I

play18:59

mentioned earlier I can inject wall

play19:01

hacks and my teammates would be none the

play19:03

wiser let alone if I was running scripts

play19:05

that automate something I can physically

play19:07

perform consistently regardless like

play19:09

recoil control on my favorite

play19:11

guns the only way that my teammates

play19:13

could deduce I was cheating is if I

play19:15

started flying through walls with

play19:16

infinite power ammo so again how would

play19:20

Bungie enforce this policy if your

play19:22

cheater friend gets banned and you don't

play19:24

because this policy is not enforcable

play19:26

all you would do is just tell your

play19:27

cheater friend to hop on a new account

play19:29

and then you'd fan ignorance again you'd

play19:31

say I'm a good player they're obviously

play19:33

also a good player how the hell was I

play19:35

supposed to know that they were cheating

play19:37

it's a very very valid a fake ignorant

play19:42

comment this brings me to something I've

play19:46

been searching for for a very long long

play19:48

time the dead zones in Destiny are

play19:50

terrible they're like 20% so you have to

play19:53

tension the stick 20% until it finally

play19:56

registers that you're moving in the game

play19:58

and it feels like you're walking through

play19:59

mud to aim in Destiny 2 it feels

play20:01

terrible especially if you put the time

play20:03

into mouse and keyboard switching to a

play20:06

controller feels terrible so sometimes

play20:09

in science we ask if we could but not if

play20:13

we should this was one of those moments

play20:17

for me you can see I cancelled an order

play20:19

on Amazon I ordered something I was

play20:22

excited about it I watched multiple

play20:24

reviews where a content creator had the

play20:25

same product and was excited to finally

play20:27

have a good feeling controller but then

play20:30

I started reading the comment section

play20:32

and it was littered with Gamers asking

play20:34

how to add a no recoil script to the

play20:36

settings that was my red flag to abandon

play20:39

ship and cancel the order if normal

play20:42

Gamers first thought is to use something

play20:44

as a cheating device then I sure as hell

play20:46

should not be promoting it even in the

play20:48

cronis Zen videos the comment section

play20:51

was vile to the Creator but if you look

play20:54

at their Amazon link data that they

play20:55

publicly show then it suggests other

play20:58

otherwise those probably same people who

play21:01

write those mean comments end up buying

play21:03

the USB

play21:05

device it it just blows my

play21:07

mind so now even if I buy a product that

play21:10

fixes the zad Zone prod uh problem even

play21:13

if I'm upfront and show no advantageous

play21:15

scripts it still may open the floodgates

play21:18

to others doing it instead so I'm not

play21:21

reviewing that particular controller all

play21:23

I really want at the end of the day is

play21:25

better native settings to games that I

play21:27

love to play these are the controller

play21:30

settings in Destiny 2 and compared to

play21:32

Destiny 1 this is so much better but

play21:35

compared to Call of Duty where you can

play21:37

change the exact Dead Zone settings have

play21:41

aim response curb types in the game

play21:43

different styles of a assist different

play21:45

multipliers on everything you could

play21:47

think of guns specific whatever compared

play21:50

to Destiny 2 Destiny 2 doesn't have

play21:54

anything speaking of Destiny has been

play21:56

out for a decade

play21:58

could we please have better controller

play22:00

settings it seems like the Band-Aid fix

play22:02

that Bungie likes to do to make

play22:03

controller feel better is to just power

play22:05

creep juice the a assist of in-game

play22:07

weapons they're like look this gun has

play22:09

more stability and more aim assist so it

play22:11

feels better now you can keep up with

play22:12

mouse and keyboard but that's not really

play22:14

fixing the problem at the end of the day

play22:16

what if instead there were less aim

play22:18

assist but more specific settings so

play22:20

that we could intentionally aim better

play22:22

than our opponent if I had to describe

play22:24

the game state right now on controller

play22:25

like let's say you're cracked at M andk

play22:27

and switch to controller it feels like

play22:30

you and your opponent are playing

play22:31

underwater with

play22:33

aimbots only script users are the ones

play22:36

allowed to bypass the terrible

play22:38

controller support and sometimes they

play22:39

even also cheat with anti-recoil it's

play22:42

just so

play22:43

unfair let's also drop the van Hammer

play22:45

more frequently be specific fast and

play22:48

ruthless with the cheating policy when

play22:49

it specifically comes to top .1% PVP

play22:52

lobbies because it's a numbers game you

play22:55

have much less cheaters to deal with up

play22:57

there than you do in the general

play22:58

population where let's be honest with

play23:00

both skill-based matchmaking and

play23:02

engagement based matchmaking a normal

play23:04

player is not going to notice a normal

play23:06

cheater if that normal cheater happens

play23:08

to suck or if it's just a genuine

play23:11

accessibility user the gray area starts

play23:13

to exist where real accessibility users

play23:16

are also simultaneously a top player

play23:20

which isn't a stretch that is realistic

play23:24

so it might be something unsolvable but

play23:27

I still bring it up for Community

play23:28

discourse at the end of the day it's

play23:30

just tiring always have to wonder what I

play23:33

need to do to improve when the reality

play23:35

is my cheating opponent might have just

play23:37

created an impossible problem for me to

play23:40

solve at this point fighting lion is the

play23:43

best anti Che in the game we've ever had

play23:45

and probably will ever have then that's

play23:48

just that's terrible to be honest but at

play23:50

least we got fighting games to grind

play23:53

instead I want to leave you on a

play23:55

question and this goes all the way back

play23:57

back to that question I had about steam

play23:59

input modifications rewas DS4 Windows

play24:04

this is for console specifically if you

play24:06

play on console and you use a controller

play24:09

and you don't use any of this other

play24:12

garbage that I showed in this video

play24:15

anything that gets around to this orange

play24:17

level you don't use that on Console I

play24:19

want to know what your config is what

play24:21

controller what software do you use to

play24:24

make controller feel good on Destiny on

play24:27

console what do you use because I want

play24:29

some real suggestions I get a lot of

play24:31

fake suggestions where people clearly

play24:33

use like rewas or something like that

play24:35

and I just don't know what's true

play24:36

anymore because I'm not going to use

play24:38

these two and it's not going to be a

play24:40

onetoone comparison I cannot just plug

play24:42

and play so let me know what you're

play24:44

using on Console because it will help me

play24:47

be a better reviewer in the future also

play24:49

if bung is watching we need those

play24:52

settings we really really need those

play24:54

settings it would make the game so much

play24:56

better PVP is already the replayable

play24:58

aspect of these games and making you be

play25:00

able to make more intentional plays is a

play25:03

good thing and cheaters are going to

play25:05

cheat anyway so you might as well make

play25:07

it feel better for legit players to play

play25:10

the game doesn't matter if cheaters feel

play25:12

slightly better they're already

play25:14

cheating anyway friends I will see you

play25:17

in the next one thanks for listening

play25:19

thanks for being respectful in the

play25:20

comment section and thanks for as across

play25:22

for making me want to finish this video

play25:26

you're the best
