Kaiser, the reason maximus killed me twice at the  end of the match was because I stopped playing to talk to you.  Its not because I turned off any &quot;hack&quot;.  Also he was able to get belt and weapons, which I had previously denied him by controlling the map.  Shooting shock or rockets where some one will be is not a hack, it is a combination of watching where they went, and guessing as to where they are going and how long it will take them to get there.  When you 1v1 the same maps over and over again you get used to these things.

Finally, if some one is up for it, I will play a 1v1 match on a server of your choosing next week and video tape myself playing.  Theoretically I could get away with an aimbot this way, but there is no way I could get away with using any sort of radar or wall hack as you would see it on my screen.

Accusing good players of botting instead of trying to figure out how they do what they do, is a sure fire way to never get as good as them.  If you could figure out how I do what I do (and I would be more than happy to coach anyone using voice) then you could become a much better dueler.

Here are a few tips:

When fighting most players use dodges, and most players use dodge right the most.  Also most players use a combination left right dodge.  So its easy enough to wait for them to dodge and shoot where they are going to be.  Just takes patience and dexterity.  Good players throw in double jumps and wall jumps to make themselves much more difficult to hit.

Learn a map.  Do this by playing it, or better yet, spectate good players playing it.  See where they double wall jump to take shortcuts, and see the routes they take.  Once you realize that people play maps in patterns it makes it much easier to figure out where they are going.

Turn your music off.  This game has very loud footsteps.  If your playing on a server with UTComp you can even turn off your own footsteps.  This lets you hear approximately where a player is.  So you can run away from him or ambush him as your situation requires.

Shadow Glitch.  You can see a players shadow on the underside of many floors and ramps.  I use this all the time on deck and other maps to know where to combo and when.  He can't tell where you are, but you know where he is :D

The three gun rule.  Always try and have Rockets/Flak for short - medium range, shock/sniper for medium - long range, and stinger/link for finishing some one off who you think is very low on life.  Try not to engage people long range with the short range weapons, or short range with the long range weapons.  And if you dont have a finishing weapon, don't get gready.  If its going to cost you your life, dont engage.

The most important rule of 1v1.  RUN AWAY!  The best players never engage unless they have to or they have a major advantage.  The rest of the time they run away hoping to draw you after them.  Its really easy to know where a player is going to be if they follow you.  So when do you attack?  Spawn rape as much as possible.  Also fight over belt and armor.  Try and prevent him from getting it or negate it by damaging him if you cant get it.

I learned 1v1 from MircoBurst, Esca, Chicken, and many more UT99 players including Overtoad before anyone had ever invented an aimbot.

I was in was around when inf got busted with a bot and I was the one who busted |DFA|Jet for botting when he got caught.  I have never botted or used an external timer and am willing to prove it if it will help the community.

random54 on xfire if anyone is interested in a game or help with theirs.  Also, since I have to borrow a video camera, I don't mind either posting xfire vids of my gameplay or doing live xfire broadcasts if that would help settle your mind in the mean time.
