If you look up random player stats a surprising number of people have k/d drops for a couple of weeks when patch 1.9 came out :O

odd.

Jun 27, 2011 forever in our memories, K/D drop day.

The day i'll remember better is when i had to start another account, to hell with the DLCs, what bothered me was being 200 heals away from nano recharge3.
it was level 48 when i got reset, i'm now 50 but i still got 70,000 for the skins to go ...
this time when i grinded up i had no double xp weekends, i leveled up some mad attachments too like reflex for the Gauss, to hell with k/d i play noobish when i'm tired or sometimes ill sneak about taggin' everyone, Gauss attachment for kicks etc.
I'm gonna try C2 soon with passive 3D, it ain't straining on eyes at all and it looks smashing.
c2 forever.

What about the hackers, did their K/D drop as well?

What about the hackers, did their K/D drop as well?

Yes. That is the point. That there are many players who's k/d was unaffected and many players k/ds that were. Though causality can not be determined by this due to confounds such as individual's system performance.

This is what I ponder.

to be honest: i think that there is "a surprising number of" undetected cheaters in this game.
