The only thing is, as cheating death is a hook (as are most hacks), it was at one point (before a failsafe was put in) that VAC would ban you because you had cheating death. There have been reports of this happening due to XFire as well, I have a friend who's been banned for "cheating" when the only third party app he had open was XFire
Most hacks = hooks
Cheating-Death = Hook
Xfire = Hook
VAC bans for hooks.
Honestly little by the community can be done when it comes to creating a client side method as (like stated above) most client side anti-cheats would require a hook. and VAC Bans for that... sucks doesn't it?
