    This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat.

    Damn.

      Hal saying “I have aimbot I can’t shoot. I can’t shoot” because he’d basically mow down everyone, then when his teammates got knocked, he was like…okay nvm lemme one clip you guys.

      Hilariously, there is a chance aimbot wasn’t on when he one clipped the caustic (and that it was just straight aim assist on controller).

      Can you imagine if the hacker was more clever and didn’t make his cheats obvious for genburten?

      Everyone was on the lookout for it the next game. But what if he just subtly did it to hal (one of the best if not the best players in the game) . It would be an even bigger fucking deal.

      Accusations of cheating or aimboting already happen with pros because they are so good. Imagine having some clips of hal legit aimboting (unbeknownst to him) in a finals lobby.

    Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.

    Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.
