Just becuase ‘some’ people are cheating DOES NOT mean that everyone is. Why are ALL pc players being punished for the actions of the few? Pc players no longer get Red Reticles when aiming at an enemy; for both m&k and controller users.
This is unfair when fighting console players; who still have it.
Running image recognition (correctly) is still quite a bit more difficult than coding a:
if pixels[x,y].color == red then send MouseButton1.Down
Although I doubt anyone would go down the image recognition route, given that cheats seem to extract data on where player’s heads are from the game process’s data itself (so they don’t need to go the computationally expensive IR route). However I think 343 also mentioned in that post that this change was done mostly so people don’t start DIYing their own trigger bots due to simplicity (see pseudocode above).
