Online Gaming Is Being Killed By Cheating

[Twist3r]

i have only been offically l33t at one game, and that was Rainbow Six Rouge Spear i was soo good at that game, better then any clan... then that game got bombarded by cheaters so i quit playing it and i try playing it now and i suck lol

the only other game im good at is UT, im almost l33t but not quite that good yet...

might as well add my 2 cents into this controversial subject.

I play StarCraft: BroodWars and I've been at that game for about 5 or more years. I'm good at Melee games and Use Map Settings.

And yes, there are cheaters or hackers are using MapHacks, NameSpoofers, Impersonator Hacks (lets you say things using other peoples names, which makes it scary, if that person says something like "lets backstab player white" etc.) and the most new and nasty hack the DropHack (let's the hacker drop you out of the game if your winning by crashing your StarCraft game. Ultimately making you restart your com).

Yes these things are out there. But I use some hacks myself, because without them I am actually at a dis-advantage. If the player sees the whole map and I see nothing isn't that cheap and unfair, why not download a program such as AllyAlert that tells you who's cheating and use the same cheats they are.

In the end I DO use hacks, because in my experience, if you don't your gonna suck and be at total dis-advantage. Because your enemy is and he isn't gonna play fair. Why should you?

Just a thought, hope I made sense there.

Online gaming is a waste of time because of cheaters...

i kinda agree with you

I played tanarus (sony game) about 2 years and the game was teeming with cheaters and hacks.

it was an arm race. whenever a cheat comes out everybody downloads and uses it in game, then a patch comes out. then new cheats....

it just gets boring after that.

so it kind of makes sense to use cheats to level the playing field when everybody uses cheats.

If ur gonna cheat go on newbie servers and do it. Please dont kill the game for the rest of us.

cheaters in unreal tournament are kinda killing the game, theres been alot of cheating in the past months, that is just leaves me mad and breatheless. If someone is suspected of botting tho, we just have a majority vote and kick him/her.
Really sad that ppl have to resort to cheating to think, they actually are good at the game :/.
