Poll: Cheating Online

Source of the problem?

I've been seeing some strange phenomena in online games recently; I pump my enemies full of lead and they just stand their laughing as they turn my ass into ground commie. Sometimes enemies hide in places you can't see them from, where they can attack you but no matter how many bullets you send their way or grenades you toss, they just don't f***ing die.

The other day I was playing CoD 5 on the DS. Me and my comrade were in awe as our opponent pulled a Jesus. That's right folks, he walked on the water surrounding the island we were on. He shot us. We died. We emptied whole clips at him (not sure about my ally here but I have pretty good freaking aim) and not a sign of wound.

Then it was Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. My Nazi opponent and his MP40, me and my Thompson. I empty my clip while he stays in pretty much the same place. He shoots me, I die in a couple hits. The system is protected by Punkbuster. Is there some funky cheating going on, or is this just lag? Or is my opponent abusing a bug?

What have you experienced? What do you think?

I play(ed) tf2 on ps3 for a while and I never EVER played a game where somebody didnt skywalk.
I friggen hate sky walkers. Especially when its engineers.

Some guy in CoD4, getting 64 head shots and no deaths. In a game that lasted 3 minutes.

The only cheating I have come across is people reaching places they shouldn't be able to, either by glitching out of the map on games such as Gears of War therefore making it impossible to win a round should they choose to do it.

Or in games such as Halo where they do some kind of magic jump that allows them to reach an impossible area and shoot down from it.

That said, I haven't seen it on Gears of War 2, and I haven't played Halo 3 properly in over a year so...

O wait... you were including Live games too? In that case, yes, I've seen many hacker games on TF2 on Xbox Live.

Needless to say Halo 2 on the Xbox. Anything you can imagine has been done. Turrets turning into ghosts, BR's shooting sniper bullets. Carbines firing rockets, turrets that you could fly....ridiculous....

Yep. These days Battlefield 2 is nothing but aimbotters and glitchers, who then have the cheek to call good players cheaters and start kick votes against them.

I once rain into a guy in WoW that was obviously hacking. Fortunately it was in a really remote area so it really didn't affect anything other than the fact that he did about a million damage to me in one swing. The community is usually really good about reporting hackers and the GMs are always quick to dish out perma-bans to people like that.

I've seen cheating a few times. The main one that I remember is playing Unreal Tournament and seeing some guy with an autoaim cheat dominate everyone.

Cheaters don't piss me off that much, it's the players with skill that REALLY annoy me.

Are you serious? I used to play that online all the time and when there was glitching, every player was involved in it and we were all doing it for lulz. Never what you said.

 

[dark_taint92]

well tf2 has its fair share of hackers sky turrets are extremely annoying.
gow2 that has some annoying glitches to clitching through walls to chain saw some one or just glitching into the wall so u cant be killed.

 

[Subzerowings]

I think I saw one guy cheating once, that or he could suvive 5 sniper headshots.

 

[TheOrangeSocks]

Soldiers with aimbot on TF2 suck.. I mean, some guys are just really good, but this guy was clearly cheating... He sat behind a wall, and even though the whole server knew he was sat there, noone managed to shoot first against him... and he was 100% accurate each time - and he fucking critrocketed all the time.

 

[Steoo]

yeh, but it works both ways, sometimes it would be just one person who could do it and wanted to mod to a 50....
only once did I play in Matchmaking where the mods were available to our team aswell!
