Zombies player here 15:45 - Zombies players know when the dogs are coming within 2 rounds of them appearing and if you're good at ammo management, you can reasonably piss your ammo away since they will be refilled once you kill the dogs. Furthermore, at the stage in Kino der Toten, there is a glitch where you can stand on staircase connecting the floor to the stage and the dogs can't attack you. You basically get free ammo without fear of death when the dogs stage comes up so it's common zombie practice to shoot off everything because its a hoot.

[@Lottofatto]

Yeah he unfortunately picked 2 really bad clips to show Syndicate's weird playstyle. It's such a minor point imo because the rest of the evidence is too overwhelming. I wanted to point out in the clip before the dog where he kills just 1 zombie that it still makes sense. Zombies spawning on that narrow path can kill your run, and it's way smarter and safer to take out that one zombie by wasting a thundergun round than to go down

The funniest part about this record being faked was that it was around the time he beat WingsOfRedemption in a 1v1 and IIRC Wings made a passing remark that he thinks Syndicate cheats at Zombies. The fact that Wings was somehow right is not only hilarious AF but even more so because Wings wanted to rig a rematch against Syndicate, which he promptly called out to the public. It just tickles me in more ways than one the idea that Syndicate, while exposing Wings for wanting to rig a re-match event for money, was also cheating in his own WR for the gamemode that made him famous.

for those who think this video is unnecessary or childish for focusing on a cheat from 13 years ago, it was these runs and "achievements" that led to Syndicate being one of the most popular and beloved content creators in the COD community. This is what launched his career as a youtuber, which also inevitably, led to Syndicate's CSGO gambling scandal. Also, some might not remember this, but Syndicate was the top most followed streamer on Twitch back in the early days. I believe he was last in the top 3 or 5 back in 2016 and was in fact the #1 most followed streamer at some point. So yes I would argue putting these cheats into light to make an example out of is worth it. I say this as someone who used to watch his videos back in the day.

[@t6kr958]

ANOTHER THING I NOTICED He kept saying he's avoiding Mule Kick because he doesn't want to lose the Thundergun again, but you can choose not to have the Thundergun in your Mule Kick slot. When you buy Mule Kick, all you have to do is purchase any weapon from anywhere and you''ll have your third weapon, and when the box gives you the Thundergun you simply switch it with the other weapons that's not in your Mule Kick slot. (So hypothetically if you get the crossbow as your third weapon, you don't switch the Thundergun with the Crossbow, you switch it with any of the other 2 weapons you have). The fact that he says the Thundergun was in his Mule Kick slot, it means he either randomly decided to put the Thundergun in his 3rd place weapon which is such a noob mistake, OR when he got Mule Kick the box gave him the Thundergun straight away, which seems to be a very unlikely thign to happen especially if the Thundergun is potentially worth 300,000 points of hitting the box according to Syndicate himself.

[@husselbruss5124]

Great video! One minor inaccuracy is that, yes, while ammo for the thundergun is scarce and can only be replenished by a max ammo drop, every 5 rounds a "dog round" will occur which guarantees a 100% chance of getting a max ammo when you kill the last hellhound. You might start seeing players wasting ammo on this round because they know they'll get a max ammo afterwards which resupplies all your guns. Also its sometimes valid to waste a thundergun shot on 1 zombie if you suspect that it was going to block you and get you killed. Otherwise every point in this video is 100% legit and more than enough reasons to suspect foul play.

One of the dead give aways is just a larger issue in plain sight. I was really into zombies back then and remember watching videos of people going for world records.

I used to watch syndicate as a kid. And I don't really have any feelings on this. There was a point in my life where I liked his stuff and watched him. But I grew up and grew past him and after I did then all the drama and controversy came out. All I can say is this, it's video games on KZbin. It's not important, him cheating is "wrong", yes, because it's fake, because it's lying. But I'm almost 26 now. I look at the world, social media, TV, Podcasts, it's all fake, at least 90% of it is. Even the people you know. I've come to just accept it's not really all that special, and while I don't think that makes it "ok," I know none of this really matters. Everyone wants to look like the most successful, intelligent, or moral person in the room. And the truth is nobody is any of those things. We all claw our way to where we wanna be, and often times, the easiest way is through selling BS. I'm still disappointed, but I'm not sad or angry at syndicate personally because I'm past the point where I'd actually care about something this small. The dude cheated at zombies, darn. He ripped people off from their money, oh no. Anyways, our government has been doing lying to it's people since before I was born and almost every salesperson I know is trying to rip you off by peddling junk you don't need.

Syndicate was one of the reasons I got into zombies back in the day. I eventually stopped watching him around the time of Black Ops 3 and kind of forgot about him. I'd occasionally hear something about one of his controversies, read it, think "Oh what a shame" and move on with life. I didn't exactly realise just how MANY there were. What baffled me the most watching this is the basic things like being able to see which character you're playing as, or the other easily noticeable inconsistencies. I thought he was smarter than that, even 10 years ago. And anyone watching who's even half as into zombies as he was should've noticed that too. I stopped watching him too long ago to feel crushed or betrayed by this, I'm just surprised he got away with it, and still denies it to this day when he knows full well how obvious it is. He's not manipulative like Jirard, just obscenely lucky.

[@Kaptime]

Damn, I always suspected this given I tried similar things from back in the day, knowing how hard it was and how long it takes per run. I remember grinding with 3 friends to round 66 on Kino. I think it took 8 hours or more, no way a solo player who has to make regular KZbin uploads would have time to do this. The zombies after about round 35 just take so long to put down even with Pack-a-punch weapons. We used the strat that @AwesomeSauceFilms (who would later become @bajancanadian and @TheNoochM) used where you have two people on the stage and keep the far door locked and have one person in the isle with another running up to the podium and circling back and eventually using the thunder-gun to clear large amounts of zombies out.

[@breakfaith3031]

One thing to note though is that high rounds are easier solo. I don't remember why they are honestly but I do remember that they are. I think it had something to do with zombie spawns in solo vs co-op. I might have to go back down the zombies high round rabbit hole to make sure I'm not just talking out of my ass.

[@Kaptime]

@@breakfaith3031 Yeah it definitely gets harder with other people because over 8 hours someone is going to have to go to the bathroom or have a lapse in performance and then it's hard for them to come back. Of course them coming back probably means zombies spawn further away and these are like round 40+ bullet sponge zombies so a guy with no pack-a-ounch weapons would stand a chance.

As a long time zombies player and having gotten round 70+ on Town on BO2, I don't mind the splicing argument as that is certainly the case but this is what my experience tells me from modding/commands: 1. I remember Tom being specifically not a PC player back during this time, I think he played on Playstation/Xbox primarily because they got DLC first, only later after I think the Moon DLC he started to transition to PC gaming, I don't know if it's possible to mod or command on those devices. 2. Strats do change especially if you're a bit pissed about your previous run, me myself have had runs where I would nicely upgrade from the wall but I'd sometimes just open up stuff first before buying to maybe have a close by spawned mystery box giving you an early strong weapon instead of buying one from the wall. Especially because the first 3-4 rounds are very possible with just the starter weapon. Also as highlight in multiple places in the video there are like 3 places for the mystery box to spawn early on: top of spawn stairs, in the corridor between seats, at the back of the stage. 3. I feel like the "misspeaking" of the second down is a bigger highlight for the splicing than modding, it would make more sense if he melded his previous and new run together in his mind to say that this actually is his second down in the whole journey making this irrefutable splicing confirmation. I'm 100% in favour of calling him out on his splicing, but modding/commands feels as if it has a worse foundation to stand on.

Syndicate wasn't faking this run for pay necessarily, it was for popularity that then leads to opportunities for money, but at the time he was probably just thinking about the popularity.

[@rmx39]

right, let me explain we KNOW what causes crashes now. such as: being too slow on waw shi no numa, hitting the box too many times on various maps, claymores, widows wine etc. it's part of the game. we know exactly WHY the game crashes now, so it's entirely possible to avoid crashes. some are random sure, but cod zombies high rounds is now a speedrun, most high level players know how to avoid crashes consistently. its not an excuse. @@gagetaylor192

[@rmx39]

exactly. someone with actual knowledge of the game would laugh this off since crashes can actually be avoided in most cases by deliberately taking actions, such as removing entities like quick revive off the map@@ruily276

Imagine being someone who supported syndicate for years for that record achievement, I don't blame those who wouldn't believe he actually cheated. It's truly inconcievable, but not impossible.

[@snegsbegs]

Lol what? This shows clear proof and he's basically admitted it. He's a bum just get over it. The cope is real

[@juliushibbert1091]

to be fair to Rushin, he's made subsequent videos condemning Syndicate, now believing he cheated

[@Terribadguy.]

It's more of a time commitment challenge than anything. There's also the fact that you have to do it in a timely manner because if too many entities are spawned your game just crashes. Training in zombies, especially on stage in Kino, is really easy. You're just running around in the same path. The only real danger is running out of ammo but even then you can just run do loops around the map using traps because at that high of a round points are meaningless and the traps do infinite damage anyways. Pretty sure there's also a place in the fire trap room where you can activate the trap and can't be touched. Maybe that's just in BO3 I can't remember. Isn't that impressive though even if it was legit.

@@snegsbegs i think by inconceivable they just mean that his fans wouldn't believe that someone so beloved and decorated in the community would do that. Not that they believe that he didn't cheat.

Is it even possible to use console commands on Xbox? Also correct me if i'm wrong but can't you only mod console Bo1 if you use the version that does not have mulekick?
