No dice.
I know it's a cheat, and I know the player.
edit: Maybe I shouldn't be so coy. Explanation to follow...
...I saw a played called 'wdad' in a server log a couple of days ago and made a note of the IP. I can't remember now what it was, whether it was a suspicious client or suspicious activity; I just kept it in mind. When someone (haze, I think) pointed out in this game that they suspected an aimbot, the first thing I did was /whois Rajan and cross-reference the IP with my lists. Lo and behold it matched.
I checked the first couple of octets of the IP against known cheats; no matches. I then checked names used by that IP against known cheats and got a match; 'hilar'. The name created a ban entry for an IP range used by RoyceRK (If you don't know who RoyceRK is then you're avoiding the sort of websites I'd expect good, honest gamers to avoid), and it was just 13 minutes after this that the new IP showed in the logs.
So, I had two suspicious players using the same name on two different IPs, but both in the same geographic location and within 13 minutes of each other. It wasn't hard to work out
When I coupled this with the fact that the SMG in the demo has over 50% accuracy, I was convinced. So I guess this cheat was obvious to me, but maybe not everyone else. I'm not as clever as 'TheR', and I'm sorry to say I certainly won't spot him every time, but on this occasion he made it too easy.
