DoGaming reports that well known local Quake Live player Jerri ‘Rapts’ Mperdempes is currently under heavy suspicion of cheating.

Senior Quake Live community members Garth ‘Garth’ Jones and Micele ‘Szarko’ Aleksandrov first noticed suspect gameplay from Mperdempes late last year and started spectating his games. Aleksandrov then posted a video of Mperdempes playing

The video of Mperdempes playing was posted by Aleksandrov on YouTube. Aleksandrov was spectating the game using a mode which enables the viewer to see through walls.

Aleksandrov and Jones believe that Mperdempes is using a hack which allows him to see where other players when they are behind walls, as well as a hack which increases his accuracy.

Mperdempes has acknowledged that the video is of him playing, but denies the allegations that he is cheating. Jones and Aleksandrov claim that while Mperdempes has poor “mouse control”, when he uses the lightening gun he is able to lock on to enemies with “insane accuracy”.

Mperdempes heads up clan NDC which has been around for over 10 years. SA’s Travis “Shase” Weedon who recently competed in Quake 3 at Dreamhack in Sweden claims that he left NDC because he did not want to be associated with cheaters, adding weight to the belief that Mperdempes is cheating. Mperdempes believes that the entire thing is part of a “smear campaign against NDC”.

It is very difficult to ascertain whether a player is cheating for certain. However, based on the videos Aleksandrov and Jones both believe that Mperdempes is indeed using hacks to give himself an advantage.

Mperdempes’ Quake Live record reports that he has won 159 games and lost 179, and he says that he doesn’t understand why he is being accused seeing as that he has lost more games than he has won. 

Aleksandrov who maintains a record of 625 wins and 70 losses remains adamant that Mperdempes is using wall hacks as well as aiming hacks and told DoGaming that he will be reporting Mperdempes on the ID forums.
