Say I had a touch screen laptop and played RENGADE on it, especially on those sniper servers, would that be cheating?

No, I'm sure there not, because i'm sure they suck-ass, otherwise gamers would use them more often.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I can imagen that giving nice results, because you can barely turn around then, and it would need to be rather acurate.

i would say yes, besause is you got it accuret. and used a stylus or something, you could pop someones head instantly. the skill to getting a headshot is in the mouse. plus you would get banned from the server for "regaurd bypass" or some shit like that.

What would be the chances of them catching you "CHEATING"? You can be running Rengaurd and still use the stylus.

no, with a styleus you can tap on the screen where the player is. with the mouse you need a massive amount of speed and be very presice at the same time. you would find it easier to snipe with a stylus than a mouse.

there is no way of proving you are not cheating atm, untill rengaurd is fixed.

This is a dodgy area to get into since it could deemed that you are making the game less accessible. Pointing devices of many kinds are used for many different reasons.

As mentioned above though, if this method were any good everyone would be doing it.

And, of course, you have to get the game/OS to recognize that the touch doesn't mean click here, but move the mouse here and then click. Touch screen technology works by (very basic description) interpreting mouse clicks, not mouse movements.

Renegade fires where the crosshair is, not at random points dictated by a click.

If you think money keeps people from buying things like that, if it made such an improvement, you're wrong... There's a reason why people like fatality don't use it.. not because they can't afford 500 bucks, it just isn't better...

It would be pretty good if you could use a touchscreen for sniping, the aim might be shoddy, but it would make a change from the normal. If you held down V (free aiming) you could probably make it work around the no-mouse-movement thing, and just move around with arrow keys and awsd.


But other than the novelty of it I expect it would not be much good.. and I would probably put a hole in an expensive piece of equipment trying to snipe people over-enthusiastically Razz
