About Freestanding
Freestanding is a tiny hobby project: small arcade games that run entirely in your browser. No ads, no sign-up, no tracking. Your settings and best score are stored only on your device.
The current game is a top-down tribute to old-school HvH: every bot runs a different resolver, and the only way to survive is to make it guess wrong.
- Real
- Where your head hitbox actually is. Bullets only care about this one.
- Fake angles (before December 2018)
- The cheat choked packets: choked ticks carried the real yaw, the tick that was actually sent carried the fake, and only the sent one reached the other players. The fake was simply a second yaw preset from the same base as the real — forward, left or right 90°, sideways or static jitter, spin, or the lower body — so there was no inverter: the side came from the preset itself. The weak spot was LBY: lower body yaw followed your real while you ran and updated every 1.1 s while you stood still. The LBY breaker flicked right before each update so the leaked angle pointed at your own delta, and fakewalk let you move while the server still thought you were standing.
- Desync (December 2018 onwards)
- After the animation update the fake tick trick was gone. What remained was desyncing the server's body from the angle others see: at most ~58° standing, less while running. No more LBY to break — instead you pick the side, invert it and slow walk to keep the full delta.
- Fake lag
- Choke up to 14 ticks before sending the next packet. Everybody else only sees the last sent tick, so while you move they aim at a ghost that is already behind you. Break 64 units between two sent ticks and lag compensation has nothing to rewind to. Standing still, fake lag hides nothing.
- Cheats
- Fake angles: aimware.net shoots the fake, getze.us shoots the leaked LBY, gamesense opens with your LBY and then bruteforces 180°, ±90° and more. Desync: aimware.net shoots the fake, onetap guesses the side you are hiding, gamesense bruteforces ±58°, fatality.win only aims at the body — dodge it. aimware.net also baims whenever one body shot is lethal.
- Weapons
- SCAR-20 fires often with a short warning but has a little spread. SSG-08 is slow, dead accurate, its bullet flies faster and a body shot takes 75.
- Freestanding
- Automatically turns your head toward the nearest wall so it is hidden from the closest enemy.
