Let's assume a 1v1 situation for ease of explanation, everything scales with number of players. I'll try to keep this short but sweet, some things will be simplified for easier comprehension: Dead bodies (not crawling) or invisble entities which remain on map giving vision (till more bodies die and replace them) or bugs with certain abilities or units with the tactical map (IR HT).

Theres also other issues as there are some bugs on the game.

I can expect this from a top100 who has good micro, but not from someone who has problems microing infantry on the first 5 mins of the game. Sounds and things breaking up reveals the position of all vehicles. The problem is, if you pay attention, you can really know what's happening through the FoW. Anyway i suggest just giving the replay and not name and shaming here since it will make any further discussion be met with a lock thread. After asking here, another top couple had similar issues with them. We face them a couple of times, they weren't good but they had some 'good' predictions. I'm only 99% sure of a duo using maphacks cause they didn't bother on hiding it anymore (blowing mines and demos on weird positions just for them to confirm it). i hope they are able to do that again soon. Some time ago relic caught some chaeters and reset theire game stats. I now catch myself to get suspicious over many games where my opponent predicts my moves and I tend to jump to the conlusion that i was cheated while he may just had a good game sense or got lucky.

Now 3 out of 200 is not that bad and at least 2 of these games where really good and intense ones, but the problem is those three where just the obvious ones with players that cared as little as possible about beeing cought. a google search tuned up this players name not only on the relic forum where he was accused of cheating but also on the board of a site where you could download a map hack. The most obvious one: in a 1v1 my opponent used the mortar precision strike repeatedly on my mg positions in the fog of war wich after checking the replay he could not possibly have known. Out of the last 200 games i played i had 3 games where i could say with 99% certenty that my opponent used a map hack. There seems to be some working hack software for coh2 and it surprises me that it does not get more attention on this board.
