But... you are a wallhacker, you surely can't just claim that it's your
"elite skills"
(Interestingly that was my first game of CS in 6 months!)

I remember being called a hacker, only once. I was horrified for about 10
seconds, then the smugness set in... I think it was a deliberate shot too,
not my stray MP5 round that took out an enemy at the opposite end of Dust2
by complete fluke.

It seems that the notion of 'cheat hysteria' has evolved and matured
into a core part of the CS community scene and lifestyle.   I don't
think I know of a single player who's never been accused on several
occasions of being a cheater or hacker - these days I guess the only way
to wear it is with a sense of pride that you pwned someone so hard that
they're sat at their screen wondering how the heck you did it ;)

Ben that's been happening ever since I started playing online!  It seems
that specialised gamestyles in HL/HL2, Halo, UT and Q1-Q3 with a core
following of dedicated players (clans?) set folks up to become complacent.
They think they know all there is to the levels and gamestyle.  Then a
newbie to that gamestyle drops in and wreaks pure havoc on all they thought
they knew.  Noob gets branded cheater, gets kicked, banned and cussed up one
end and down the other.
Now, you guys all know I'm a beat up shakey ol fart in worse shape than CF
and can't play for poop.  But that's happened to me on "elite" clan servers
my son invited me to for Halo and CS Surf servers!  He and I laughed
ourselves silly.  I just get in and play with whatever "skillz" I gained
from playing five solid years of Quake CTF!   Of course, once they get over
their whiney, they discovered I didn't "kick" too well.  And they started
paying attention to how I played, and then commenced to fraggin the crap out
of me. :-D
So it ain't a new phenomenon!   And you're right, wear it with a sense of
pride while ya can, cause it ain't likely to last long!  LOL :-D

Not in HL/CS though - cheating was a complete non-issue in the first
couple of years.  because either noone had worked out how to hack the
game yet, or those who did kept it so quiet and subtle that noone really
noticed/cared.  aside from which, the vast majority of players were
playing over 56k (And framerates were directly related to the speed of
your connection under the original HL netcode)  so lucky kills were
blamed on lag instead :)

I've been banned and accused more times than I can count, I just find it
funny nowadays, there are far far better players out there than me......but
also many worse and stupid ones :)

I ran a Halo (PC) server for a while.  Bit over a year.  I ran one modded
map, the rest were all pure Halo.  That one map had the 'gunner drives hog'
enabled.  And that was in the server login page anytime that map was run.  I
just thought it was tons of fun if even 2 or 3 players could all drive and
shoot at the same time.  About a third of the regulars got ticked off and
quit me.  Said I was cheating.  I can't see its cheating if *everybody* is
able to do the same thing.  And, they're informed about it up front.  Oh
well, some folks don't like changes. :)
In HL2, I stand around too long gawking at things in new maps.  :)   Nobody
acuses me of cheating then!

Reminds me of the youngest kid (15) anybody who gets a lucky shot on him is
cheating but when he gets the sixth lucky kill in a row it's his skillz :)

LOL!    I remember making one of them mad at me, on your own level in your
own server.  While back. :)))  Didn't happen much though.

I'm the one that was delighted to be shown the Slammers, remember?  :-D
