I'm pretty hesitant to post this, since it was only a brief incident and I have no real evidence, but then, I thought, why not. Maybe I was just playing poorly and this guy is good and can get to places I can't. I don't know. It was probably just bad luck on my part.



I joined Tempest 1 for a few minutes (about from 13:10 to 13:20 PST) when I saw someone online there. After capping Point B undisturbed, I figure he's sitting in the respawn room so I hop over to Point A. After a second or two there, he eventually shows up and after a shootout, I die. No problems so far. I respawn as a scout, and try again and die. So I switch to soldier and, much to my surprise, he's sitting atop Point A and unloads a pistol clip at me from his spot to the end of the respawn tunnel, hitting me with 8 of his 12 bullets (I can attribute the shots to luck, but I don't think it's possible for a scout to get up there). I continue forward and pick up the health and after shooting the guy with 2 crit rockets (which I guess missed), 2 normal rockets, 6 shotgun shells, and finally a crit shovel before he dies (again, he was double jumping, so I could have simply missed). He respawns as a soldier, walks over, and after each of us shooting 4 rockets, I die. This is where I started to get suspicious about actual cheating aside from him being on the roof: He was almost at full health (but that can be dismissed because I did kill him before). I respawn and walk out and see him standing on the roof of the shed nearest the tunnel exit, he kills me. I respawn and return. He rocket jumps off of the roof, lands, fires once, then rocket jumps again and fires. Now I got extremely suspicious. So far he's made 3 rocket jumps and one long landing, so he must almost be dead. He switches to shotgun and I hit him with at the very least splash damage from 3 rockets. He doesn't die. I switch to shotgun, too. 3 shots later, still alive. I finally get a crit and he dies, but that really left me wondering.

I didn't record a demo of the event (kind of hard to do 1 vs. 1), and I didn't think much of it until I started up a single player game on Gravel Pit and found that there's really no possible way for a scout to get up there as far as I could tell.

That's where he was. The only way to possibly get there is to jump from the roof of the building to the left, but there's clearly no way for a scout to get there.


I know this really isn't enough to act upon (or at least I hope it isn't), so it's more a long the line of a please pay attention to future encounters with him.

That doesn't make much sense to me. I've seen plenty of players using scripted rocket jumps to consistently jump at a 45 degree angle or so, but not taking damage sounds like either a glitch or cheat.  The biggest :( thing about this guy was getting on that roof as a scout. I've never seen a scout up there before, neither in a game nor in a video. Getting up there as a soldier or demoman, sure, but there's simply no place a scout can jump from to reach that spot. If it is possible, well, maybe I'm wrong about the whole thing, which is possible, I suppose.
