No, that guy probably was either hacking, or had bought hl2 with a new
account (like most people).

Hey guys I remember a while back some talk about faked steam IDs and that
they start with :44 or :43. Could this steam ID be faked 0:4428440? Or is
it
just a new ID. I wouldn't post the steam ID but this guy was pulling off
some real crazy shots two and three head shots rapid fire in major
firefights, he would clear a room of 2-4 players that way. It just seems
too
hard to believe.
Thanks,
Wrench
STEAMID's are never faked. When you create an account, it is assigned a
STEAMID. When you purchase a game, it appears to be enabled for your
STEAMID, though I'm not sure on the specifics. The people that skip
this process using the 'cracked' version are impossible to tell apart
from the people who have legitimately created a new STEAM account and
bought Half-Life 2/1/CS:CZ/Whatever. Unless, of course, they're stupid
and haven't patched their game, in which case changing your nickname to
something with %n in it and typing "status" in the console will cause
them to "time-out" (crash).
