So this is the first few months of me playin PC. I recently switched from PS3 because I built a completely badass CPU. Well I am the type of guy that when I do something it's go big or go home. Now this all being said I got a sick as hell motherboard and it has something called Sonic Radar that can run during certain games. It can work for COD but not BF4. I have heard that this is because the Sonic Radar program is written in the same form of a hack. I am quite sure it will never make it to BF because of how it is written but my question is: when I use it for COD later this year when the new Black Ops is released will my fellow gamers consider it a hack? I dont want to be known as someone who cheats or hacks or glitches even if accidental or just ignorance to the rule.

it works almost like a sonar blip. picks up sounds on a mini map including strength of sound type and distance
i mean granted i know it is an advantage but it is available to anyone who owns an asus ROG mb. so i think it really is kind of a grey line
It would be difficult or impossible to tell if anybody was running it.

I guess I don't see it as any more of an advantage than someone having 7.1 surround sound versus someone who doesn't. Or a nice gaming mouse with programmable buttons versus someone who does not.

thats how i view it i mean anyone can get it if the mb supports it however it cannot pass Punkbusters criteria because of how it is written. mI get top shit for everything. I have afterglow headgear with 3dD immersion sound, 3D 7.1 sound system 92" tv and fusion 1 controller.
i agree its not a hack its not wrong to use something that anyone can use. and it doesnt effect the gameplay either. if i get shot im dead just like anyone else unlike a hack or glitch
I agree with CR8Z that this is an overlay...however the sdk and api used for this feature
is often read at the code level to be a hack or glitch.
Perception is reality now a days and I would safely bet that most people will
perceive this to be a glitch or hack. (especially in the transparent mode)
My concern is that other servers out there will view you as a hacker.
I know I probably don't help in the decision making but I wanted to throw this out there.

I don't know.
I think what it means is that somebody will be able to blast their music, and STILL "hear" the enemy sneaking up on them by "seeing" the sound with a visual queue. I don't know if I would see that as a hack, anymore than somebody binding a million macros to their mouse vs. someone who can't.
Personally, I would think it's distracting because it's blocking where I might need to aim!
