Had it been first person mode...it would have been undeniable proof. Considering the ease at which hacks are made for the unreal engine, Hi-Rez needs to take this seriously.

There's an incredibly small chance that any game I play will even have one in the first place, and he will pretty much always be terrible. I'm not inclined to believe such a hack exists simply because I'd actually be able to remember the last time I saw a sentinel in a pub doing good.

You can report cheaters by typing this in console /report player reason.
About first person spectator, it probably won't be implemented anytime soon because Unreal Engine 3 doesn't support it by default.

People cheated in tribes as well. Happy mod was a common thing back in the day and aimbots were as well. It's not as common, but it still happens. I wouldn't be surprised if someone was hacking at this point in the game, too.
