ESP etc, work by 'unlocking' data normally not available to the player (e.g. Through walls). The ASUS technology, if I understand correctly, just highlights information that is legally available to the player already. Is it cheap? Yeah. Is it against any TOS or EULA, no. Sent from my iPhone

The sonic radar just uses information from your sound card(non usb) and you can create a sound profile/EQ to do the same thing with sound. Sent on the new Sprint Network from my Samsung Galaxy S®4. Original message From: bryanander...@gmail.com Date:10/08/2015 2:26 PM (GMT-05

It is a f*g skill if someone is able to make precise distinctions due to the sound from the game and can 'read' or 'predict' where an enemy could be now (or not due to 'mishear' or 'misanalyze' the sound he heard). So if someone is using a tool brought to him with his (expensive) soundcard,
