"scroll-firing" and "x-fire" ??? Not me

Hi Folks,
This is my first post and new to cod4 in general, so I hate to start off with a sour note.
Twice in the past month just by hitting my mouse button rapidly when using a pistol somebody warned me once about not to use something called x-fire and tonight, I was warned about something called scroll firing.
Guys, I just have the original box game with patch 1.7...and using a logitech trackball (tear-shaped with ball in the center). Unless there is something in the logitech driver s/w that I am not aware of, I am just hitting the left clicker as fast as I can. No hacks or cheats or consol mods. I wish there was a way to prove it.

I realize you all have been getting a lot of hackers lately so I can understand the sensitivity there, but being warned of something I'm not doing ruins the fun. I can't be the only wild firing newbie out there who gets in a few lucky hits. I know that for serious players, that can be frustrating, but then again, serious players have other servers to go to if they want something harder, say fow sniper-bolt only. Thats where I go to be really humbled.

Aside from that, since my coworker got me hooked on this stuff, KKK broadcast has been my goto server at the end of a long day of work. The freedom to use any of the perks and weapons, and the admins being pretty good about kicking the spawncampers, has made it my favorite site.

Ok I'm finished whining. I'm open to any suggestions.
Best Regards
RC

Well hopefully all of the staff will read this and understand that you're most likely not using any sort of cheat or shortcut. Some mouses have the ability to fire faster then others. Don't worry about it and enjoy the server.

Hey RC, good to see you like our server.
If anyone accuses you of scrolling, and it's not an Admin/Mod, just ignore them. Half of these fools wouldn't know what it was, if it bit them on the ass.
Don't sweat it.

Hello RedCLeaver, I wouldn't worry to much about it. Hope you are still having fun playing in the broadcast server.

Why did someone warn you about xfire though? Did that person make it sound like because you are using xfire means you hack? You were just talking about people accusing you of cheating so it made it sound like that.

So, there are two different X-fire's? One that makes you shoot faster and another that is a program for pc games? just clarifying here.

lol no, Its just that the name "x-fire" might sound, and it did to me, like a hack.

Hi folks,
Thanks for all the replies and encouragment. I dont remember who the original warning came from but the second recent one was a "console" message, which i assume is from an admin. That's why I wanted to bring it up. In any case, I'll see you all out on the killing floor---save a bullet, or several, for me...
