Well, how do I know they cheat? because when i make a pub games, half of the time, my partner tells me where the oppenents are from the start.. :p

and when u watch the replay, its easy to tell ...

kinda sad... so many online games are plagued with cheats.

Maybe its time to move to console online games, they wont cheat.. or would they find a way.. :( sigh.

To quote my Chinese roommate,

Dude, give up Starcraft. Play a white game. "Keke."

:confused:

I was shocked for about a second at the underlying racism, then promptly dropped to the ground in a helpless fit of "it's funny because it's true" laughter. :D

Whats worse is in games like Warcraft or Starcraft someone will grab a
cheat like a map hack, and use it because "The other guy might have one"
And he doesn't feel that he is actually cheating. Not like getting unlimited
minerals or something like that.

Cause knowing where the other guys units are on the map isn't
an advantage. Wait a minute.

sad if you have to cheat in rts games. i can see why people do it in fps games, just to ruin other people's fun. but really, some people need to grow up.

Apparently MS plans to put some serious ball-busting power into CS for XBox. From what I heard, anyone with a modded exe/hack etc is going to get a vacation from the CS servers on first offence, then perm-banning the second. The ban will be based on a combination of the CS "CD-key" and the XBox MAC, so you won't have to worry about buying a banned copy. :)

I don't understand ... are you trying to be offensive or funny? Or both? :confused:

I found his comment hilarious personally. :D

there is no point in playing a game if you cheat...what is the challenge?
get a patch to disallow cheats when you host games.
if you find someone cheating on a game you do host, ban them.

as for maphackers on bnet...
i really don't mind too much....
i never cheat (ever since that CS boom and we all decided to have some cheating fun TOGETHER at a LAN party....it crashed my comp tho)
and as long as the cheating bastards don't cannon rush i'm fine....
they can rush quicker and stuff...but i always have defense ready

this would work fine except when u have a really good player on your server and u ban them for killing u all the time cause you suck....


so basically

u banned them cause u "THINK" they cheated. when in reality they can kick your ass. Most people do this cause they dont bother to see if the guy is really cheating or not...their logic is

if hes better than me, he has to be cheating...

What kind of cheats exist? I've gotten into warcraft lately and I mostly play 1v1 and 2v2 ... and then some arranged maybe sometimes. Can people cheat? I have suspected that people cheat but I have no idea really.

I hate cheaters on any online game.. if your good they'll think your cheating,, and if you suck, they laugh at you, and if they cheat and can't kill you they asume you must be cheating too, and others that just like to Teamkill for numbers.

my friend was accused of cheating on TFC cause his snipering skill is just too good and almost disable the other team from advancing to our base, once they're out they're dead.. well maybe acouple of more steps if there were a few. But the funny part about it was the Cheater with the autoaim cheat was accusing my friend of using the same cheat,, and after awhile other people started believing him and my friend was kick off..

Pretty much only map hacking. Blizzard bans all the people caught cheating though in Warcraft III and rightfully so. Once you let cheating get rampant, it ruins the game entirely.

And I second, the play w/ people you know. Thats what I do. I suggest moving on to Warcraft III anyways... the only people who still play SC are the hardcore who hate losing (ie learning a new game). :)

how do u know the other guy was cheating? whatever answer u give, it probably applies to ur friend .. at least in SC you CAN prove map cheat with the replay..

anyway... yes im also hooked to CS ;) and I think at least CS has lot LESS cheaters then SC.

my nick on SC is NewbieSpecial (my exclusive losing account :)) and TylerDurden (my true account ;))
