Opulent Posted March 16, 2003 Been playing a lot of Quake2dm online recently. Sometimes it is hard to find a game that doesn't have a cheater in it. Speedhacks, nose paks, aim bots, teamed campers, spawn campers, glow paks, wall hackers, etc... just ruin the game for everyone else. What stupifies me is HOW are they even having fun? Is it better for you guys where you are? God, I hope DOOM client/servers are better than this... 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted March 16, 2003 Every once in a while, I am reminded of what I miss by not playing internet games. Oddly enough, Doom multiplayer seems to be far better than any game. No cheating, no weird freaks who turn people off by just pretending to be as stupid as possible. A few anti-BFG'ers as was mentioned, but oh well. 0 Share this post Link to post

I just think he has a lousy taste is FPS, and he’s kinda up himself. Mind you, considering that this thread turned into the 100th “lets all bash Andrewb” thread, who’s surprised? 0 Share this post Link to post
Rotting Corpse Posted March 17, 2003 He seems full of him self. It easyer ot deal with people like that on the net. In real life I would have hit him with a brick. I hate pople that are full of them selfs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jonathan Posted March 17, 2003 The Quake 2 source is available, which has meant cheating has gone through the roof. There was a project called Q2ACE (Anti-Cheat Edition) which attempted to make a cheat proof Q2, but it recently closed down. The problem is chronic to all online games though. There are lots of very talented hackers out there for whom fighting against games developers and making these cheats is a game unto itself. As for why people use them, I'm reminded of the pwned.com motto: "Half our fun is ruining yours". People enjoy being mean, they enjoy making themselves feel bigger by making others feel smaller, especially when they're just some random strangers on the internet. But don't get too pissed about it, 'cause in the end its all only a game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Darkstalker Posted March 17, 2003 I rarely play multiplayer, I prefer SP. And when I start a MP game, it's with my friends or people I know that they don't cheat. If I play a MP game with people that I found that they cheat or are just plain stupid, I change server or just quit and do something else. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted March 17, 2003 In games like Counter-Strike, the one thing more annoying than cheats is the players that have been playing the game every fucking day for four years now, so they can kill you in .02 seconds with a headshot no matter what their weapon is. The only multiplayer game I play these days is Half-Life Day of Defeat - think of it as CS in World War II, with fewer lame-ass 12 year olds. 0 Share this post Link to post
