Story Of A Halo Pro Caught Cheating

[@xMCxVSxARBITERx]

Other players should not play with him out of respect for the community itself. How do we know if he is or is not cheating still? We don't. That alone is enough. And the fact that 343i haven't said a thing just proves how disconnected they are from their own comp community...

[@LooneyEU]

It is tough. Well hypothetical situation, what if like random drug testing. What if 343 was allowed to check what's on the PC at random .( it would never happen but what if) would that be okay?

[@FPSBloodlust]

Couple things, he’s banned from competing, and they already do PC checks. At events they DEFINITELY check PCs. What we need is an invasive anti cheat similar to Valorant

[@LooneyEU]

@@Berkmnn LOOOOL xD

[@imDstroy]

The issue you raised up is "can we trust him". I don't think that we should even think about that. I think that cheating, like he did during online competition should lead to a life ban. No matter if you continue or not, everything has a consequence and I don't think we should allow cheaters to compete. I also think it's morally concerning that the rest of the BH3 players had teamed up with him when Sunriz left. I know they had to find someone quick, but thinking it's normal to team up with a past cheater is mind blowing to me

[@LooneyEU]

Yeah, I know Baxtur has voiced his opinions online about this already and I agree it is a little upsetting thats the first person they turn to. Here's a hypothetical situation. (This would never happen) but like random drug tests what if 343 were allowed to do random PC checks? Would that allow him to come back?

[@B-SybrZaku-ThendHaloAirsofting]

Honestly I don’t think a life long ban is something that should be put as people can change, but maybe have some checks in place before known “former” cheaters return maybe after a few years of banned from paid tournaments

[@JeoJetsonmusic]

Life ban is insane

[@LooneyEU]

@B-SybrZaku-ThendHaloAirsofting I know what you're saying, and I agree. To play devils advocate, I saw a previous comment talking about how we shouldn't waste HCS resources/money on stuff like this. Ban them and move on. Which I also think is a fair statement

[@LooneyEU]

@JeoJetsonmusic I agree, life ban is sooo harsh. To play devils advocate. Someone earlier mentioned we shouldn't allocate extra resources to these people. Ban them and move on which I understand. Opinions?

[@A3mercury]

I'm always down for a redemption arc. However, with a game like Infinite where there is no real anti-cheat, believing someone is being sincere is putting a whole lot of faith in them.

[@unggoyfarmer]

Banger video. We all know he didn't need the cheats to perform well but his career was in shambles after being dropped, seemed like no one wanted to team with him regardless of him being a demon, so my guess is he put the cheats on to build up his rep again. I personally would love to see him back in some form for the sole reason of EU needing as many good players as they can possibly get to compete with NA.

[@wyattd8423]

wtf why would u want to watch a cheater play? dude get more ethics or like a hobby?

[@unggoyfarmer]

@@wyattd8423 By no means saying what he did was a good thing. Just saying he likely only cheated in that one unofficial tournament when he was at an all time low in his career. Since he's faced the consequences and likely learned from his mistakes I don't see why we shouldn't give him a second chance.

[@chazcurtis3930]

Negative once a cheater always a cheater no second chance on that!!!

[@unggoyfarmer]

@@chazcurtis3930 I mean we gave Royal 2 a second chance, not saying how he cheated is the same but royal 2 won a prize and it was for an official HCS tournament so you could argue its worse. You can't say the same for Shaady.

[@Roskhi]

It is quite suspicious with how fast Shaady was able to rescope to his opponents in those clips provided. Leaves many questions that remain unanswered, just ruins the scene for those who genuinely try to get towards such a level and it ruins, makes matters hard thanks to scenarios like this. 343i and Microsoft really need to up their performance all around with Halo. Great video, @Looney, looking forward to more content from you soon!

[@LooneyEU]

The most shocking part imo is that this isn't a 13 year old cheating. This was one of the top players at the time cheating. Thank you Roskhi! I'll try to keep up the work

[@TheOneGhost12]

Dude he literally showed the cheat lmao? There’s no suspicion guy is obviously using the rescope cheat did you watch the video ??

[@Roskhi]

Apologies, I was meaning that this really leaves a dark cloud over legitimacy withy up and coming players. It has ruined Shaady's legacy as Looney said leaves everything he achieved in Competitive Halo questionable. @@TheOneGhost12

[@Roskhi]

It is really sad that he could've made one hell of a comeback without stooping down to this level. He ruined the opportunities that could've been taken and put him back on the Competitive map in HCS but unfortunately choose the quick, short route to regain not the long and hard path where he'd have accomplished more and get tonnes of respect. I wouldn't mind seeing you doing perhaps Tutorials, strategies and what not. The Coach Wars series with you and Stu was funny when you got your team picks.@@LooneyEU

[@Party_Hotdog]

He ain't the only one. Remember Minds getting busted? And he was only banned from that one league. He's still allowed to compete in others. The saddest part about it, is that he was using walls against a team that his squad beat on LAN before.

[@LooneyEU]

true, i do remember that. 343 need to make a statement about the cheaters

[@gearhead1302]

@@LooneyEU I'm more concerned about blatant, deliberate cheating. If it's something that isn't debatable then the punishment should be incredibly harsh. I'd be ok with lesser punishment for things that are more on the debate table.

No. Pros should not have to play with somebody who's cheated in the past and have to deal with the mental aspect of wondering if they are competing in an unfair situation.

great video mate just subbed. no they should never let him back in, it's like going back on your spouse that cheated on you, they knew what they were doing and did it anyway and will always do it again. in my opinion, there are a lot of people using cheats in just normal matchmaking, somethings gotta change, makes it not fun.

I wouldnt have been able to guess this was your first attempt. This was great. On the comment of editting, you'll be talking sometimes while simultaneously showing the clip. I think I'd like "And then he got this" *Clip begins*. Instead it's So what he'd do is *clip begins* use this cheat with descoping and scoping as you can see here *last 3rd of clip finishes* I think it flows really well for moments where you don't NEED to show us, but when you're expressly showing us and not just using b-roll, a call to action to pay attention at that time, and then be seeing the beginning, would be good. Test out uploading a video, say "like and subscribe" and then look at the like and sub button at the time you say them. They light up. This timing is similar to how I think these clips could be timed. Otherwise the quality here is big and great, you did awesome and got my sub.

IMO cheaters should get perma-banned; they can never be trusted again and there needs to be a hard punishment to prevent people from trying in the first place.

At this point we need to fine these people otherwise it is just the norm, there is an NA player that cheated once years ago and got caught in competition and got caugth AGAIN in 2024 and I think it was during the Major RMR qualifiers if I am not mistaken. Ban for life and a fine and goodbye that's how it should be handled.

[@LooneyEU]

thank you man, that means so much to hear you say

[@kickitfwd]

The video from Kadaddle/BKap explains how the descope cheat works but did it prove that Shaady was using this cheat? The non-response to allegations is definitely not a good look for clearing your name though. If 343 haven't taken any action there's technically nothing stopping him from coming back aside from finding teammates willing to play with him right? He could qualify for a LAN and prove himself...

[@LooneyEU]

yeah, there was also a clip of someone using LT to scope in as fast as they could and it looked nothing like the cheat. He can and has come back for tournaments here and there but like u said it depends if the community will allow him to

With a player base as low as Infinite's is, it's like the vast majority of active players are running cheat suites. Nobody is playing that game casually anymore, so everyone left would be incentivized either for comps or content creation clips.

Landing consecutive shots with the shock rifle is not that hard. I do it all the time in btb for multi kills so unless you have theatre proof that guy is botting, he’s just cracked.

[@stefanobiscut]

I think he should he allowed to come back but with restrictions so he cant cheat again. For instance monitor cam set up and a camera that has clear view of where hes sitting, all his monitors and anything else around him. Then all that footage has to be streamed, the vod saved, and viewed by admin. Hes gone away for enough time where it has blown over and its fair for people to be able to redeem themselves. He also did the right thing by stepping away from competing wasnt any bs from him about it. However a perma ban from competing online would also be understandable. Hard to say whats best to be done with cheaters especially since he did cheat during tournaments and potentially took money that someone else deserved to earn.

[@LooneyEU]

yeah i get you, im not opposed to him coming back but id like a stament from 343 imo. it would go a LONG way

[@zachary2010]

Lifetime ban for known/proven cheating is the standard in multiple much larger and more successful leagues/esports. There are former Pro CS 1.6/CS:S and CS:GO players who were banned for cheating and they aren't allowed to play CS2 competitively in official tournaments. And why would we allow or even want cheaters to play alongside people who don't cheat? Despite popular opinion, stricter punishments can solve the problem because the ones who are willing to break the social norms are punished permanently versus temporarily/put in timeout.

[@LooneyEU]

i agree, but think about this, no one who cheats googles the punishment first. they do it with the thought of never getting caught

No worries! So in Halo when you take damage while you are scoped in you get what is called descoped which the game FORCES you out of scope. This makes it significantly more difficult to shoot the Sniper or any long range weapon from a distance. He had a mod which made it so he didn't get descoped which is a big advantage as it doesn't handy cap you

[@raulhernandez2010]

@@LooneyEU I understood that part, what i dont understand is how we know we had the mod? Thanks for the reply

NOOOOOOO

[@PadreZaneBlanco]

@@LooneyEU I'm sry I've been let down too much 😔

[@LooneyEU]

@@PadreZaneBlanco I get you, have u played Infinite recently? if u havent u should give it another go!

[@IHJello]

Its insanely ironic how his name is shady

[@LornFortheForlorn]

there should be a 0 tolerance on cheating he should be banned and disbarred from entering tournaments

[@AniiMaL_EU]

Don't normally comment on videos but this whole situations a joke, whoever makes the cheats should share the list with HCS/343 in secret and perma ban anyone running cheats. Simple. However there's that many accusations flying around its kind of gross. Yeah its unfair but the guys video you show where the cheats are at "Work" from a cheaters POV he doesn't get rescoped but the main clip of Shaady is where he more or less insta rescopes. you can actually do this within your controller settings, with no real proof and the fact the cheating didn't take place within a HCS event then I'm afraid he cant be banned. More needs to be done here by HCS/343 and the company that produces the cheats. But 343 just don't care because HCS is just limping along until the next Halo later this year, its a shame but at the end of the day its all just opinion with no proof. Unlike with Brainstorm. Great Video Daz, cheating is certainly a hot topic right now but recently a Pro called out some guy for cheating (not Monster) but they got their facts wrong and comes off as salty from them. Its truly a s*** situation. Maybe your next video should be on 343/HCS and the Cheat developer, might actually cause them to do something about it and stop the accusations once and for all. Cheaters should get what they deserve but until then its just public opinion mixed in with A LOT of salt. But again that takes nothing away from this quality video, keep it up man!

[@LooneyEU]

thanks for the kind words but sadly im going to have to disagree with you. iv seen footage of what youre talking about when you rescope with LT and even trying to make it look like u insta rescope and it just doesnt look the same, plus if it was just once it looked like that fine, but if u look at the twitter account there are LOADS of those rescope instances. The footage by Bkap lines up PERFECTLY with shaadys footage too much that I dont think there is any other way to look at it. i agree the devs need to make a statement on this but sadly i think the time has passed

[@AniiMaL_EU]

@@LooneyEU it's doesn't line up tho, he don't get descoped at all on Bkaps video. It looks like 2 different Hacks if that's what your saying. Either way it's not proof enough, you can replicate what you see Shaady do by having rapid fire or something similar bound to LT and adjusting trigger deadzones. Only thing I'd say is it would be interesting to know what pad he uses, it's probably a Scuf and you can set up rapid fire through the controller app itself? Either way 343 limited the fire rate of the pistol and commando at launch/S1 to control rate of fire as it was uncapped. You could literally put gun everyone with both weapons because it didn't have a minimum fire rate (i.e. you could shoot as fast as you could press the trigger with no limit) Maybe they should do the same with the rescope function but again it won't happen and it's still not definitive proof. Doesn't matter how much footage there is unless it could be proved, which it can't. Or can't beyond a shadow of a doubt, which again is why he's not banned. Either way he's still better than 99.99% of the player base and without solid proof it's just a witch hunt. Simple. Until there's an effective anti cheat it's still just personal opinion because Bkaps video of the actual hack looks nothing like Shaadys footage, end of.

[@LooneyEU]

i got a feeling you might need to rewatch the video...so with the hacks u dont get descoped thats the point hes trying to make. it lines up perfectly

[@AniiMaL_EU]

@@LooneyEU but shaady gets descoped

[@AniiMaL_EU]

@@LooneyEU maybe your just misunderstanding or trolling I can't tell tbh

[@BroWithTheFro]

He should be formally banned for a time, then I wouldnt mind him returning. Do the time

[@LooneyEU]

this is the comment I agree with the most. Royal 2 although didnt cheat like this but he did break the rules and he got punished and now he came back. He needs to have been offically banned then be allowed to return imo

[@BroWithTheFro]

@@LooneyEU it's only right if he wants to begin earning any trust back

[@wendellwoodward9397]

so where is the part that confirms he cheated? how was it confirmed he had the scope cheat

[@LooneyEU]

If you go to the 4:00 time stamp it explains it there

[@wendellwoodward9397]

i mean you even said it was alleged cheating. im sure the guy was using the cheats but there was never any conformation of it @@LooneyEU

[@davidfinn887]

Great stuff Darren keep it coming ❤

[@LooneyEU]

YES SIR!!

[@aFragDowN]

Just why would you throw everything away?Guy was a monster on Lan,had fun watching him even tho i stopped playing infinite.

[@dylanbue2913]

The era of integrity skill and passion inside gaming died with streaming its sad but nothing can be trusted . If ur cheating and streaming should be no questions asked bans with proof of course. Especially if ur taking subs and donations thats a fraudulent scam but people just cant resist the fantasized delusion of "i wanna be a streamer content creator " well sadly not everyone is able to but stop at nothing to be infamous but then all of sudden they have sponsors and a following and it creates ego etc cheating is accepted these days and its shameless .

[@BKapLive]

As a cheater, I believe that it’s now on the developers to filter out cheaters or to make a statement. Some authority that’s not the community needs to address it. It’s year 3 at this point you can’t blame them for cheating

[@LooneyEU]

100% I think the first person to ever get banned from HCS for cheating was brainstorm. but for a top player to cheat and not a single statement is a really bad look i agree

[@zeroshotkill]

If that's truly how people cheating feel, what a wild moral compass. It costs millions of dollars to prevent cheating for a AAA game. They would be spending more money on preventing cheaters than they invest in HCS. From a business standpoint, it makes no sense to do so. We could instead just be a community of respectful people and not ruin others fun but I suppose that's a utopian view.

[@LooneyEU]

@zeroshotkill that's a very nice way to look at it but I sadly don't think that's the world we live in. People are going to cheat and so much of Halo is played professionally online. We need to invest in combatting combat cheats to a certain degree or atleast punish those who have cheated

[@zeroshotkill]

They are already on to the next Halo in terms of development. It's wasted energy to think it will happen for Infinite.@@LooneyEU

[@Mikey_Storm]

Yes. Yes you can blame cheaters for cheating.

[@cross_ie7590]

Need a story on the cod pro who was cheating

[@LooneyEU]

i sadly dont know enough about COD tho :(

Being a halo infinite pro is its own punishment lmao

Really well done video. I'm on the fence about shaady

[@LooneyEU]

same, im also on the fence. its such a shame he did that

[@revan5293]

I really like this type of video. sure why not let him come back
