Its a bit grey sometimes. In the old days when public hacks wern't around i used to make some trainers (like 10 years ago lol) for games I don't hack (or play games really) anymore, but i'm a massive proponent of game modification and the use of scripts and macros, which i do to the extent that it's basically hacking to everyone else lol | ||

As you may or may not know, maphackers and other assorted varieties of cheaters and abusers of all sorts have since time immemorial plagued poor War3. It was particularly bad during the 1.24 patch era, where you could make a brand new account, go to 1v1 ladder, play 50 games, and literally all of them would be hackers. You might be thinking "what's the big deal, is maphack that scary?" Oh, if only it were so benevolent. There were: - laghack (issuing 10,000 invalid build commands rapidly to a worker at which time everyone else's WC3 would crash), - invulnerable hack (makes a building unkillable and hacker goes AFK), - summon hack (no cooldown on summoning hero spells), - crash hack (manipulates Warcraft's memory in such a way that everyone else gets critical error and drops), - share hack (shares control with you even though he's the opponent, makes your game lag horribly and freeze, if you somehow survived it, you could control hacker's units). - goldhack (hacker attacks and repairs his own building and gets 1000 of resources for doing so) - winhack (as soon as the game starts, you get the 'Victory!' message, then you see your score shows a loss) - phoenix hack (makes a certain ultimate spell unkillable) and on and on. At one point, I was so fed up with this situation I was willing to risk my CD-key getting banned, so I went to a hacker website and opened the forums. Sure enough, there it all was - proudly advertising the latest way of pissing off other people in War3. And then, I saw it clearly written 'antihack'. I was all "Hmmmm, this would be worth trying." I carefully read all the posts in that thread, it said the antihack can be tested on a replay where the crashhack was used, I did ... and it worked! My eyes glinted as I prepared myself to face hackers once again, but this time, with an ace up my sleeve. I loaded the antihack, started War3, entered Bnet and searched for a 1v1 ladder match. I found a match right away and sure enough, it was a crashhacker. He routinely activated his hack as soon as the game started, as I could easily see my framerate drop to around 10 and stay there for several excruciating seconds, I held my breath as a single thought raced through my head: "Will it work in a live game?" Your enemy has left the game You are victorious I was Uther Lightbringer slaying the unholy Hacker Demons, and with their dying breath, they would curse me in disbelief: "How can he not be harmed by our attacks?" This is me, on an US East smurf (I am the green player). It turns out, when hack and antihack meet, the result is pure hacker ownage, as he loses all his resources and cannot gain anymore and then he might as well just leave. The creepy thing is that the score screen shows he gave his resources to someone, but I was the only one besides him in the game, and he didn't give them to me! What the...? *Twilight Zone theme* *The End?* | ||

I put that there because it was very late and i could not be bothered to think up good poll choices, too late to change now. Besides the only reason its there is because im sure many people did; Read my speedhacking exploits on a WoW priv server. You share the same contempt and hatred for hackers as me and many others in the thread, you dont trust fuckin' no1 because of it. Fair enough, but dont attack me ^_^ On January 07 2012 19:33 allerion wrote: fuck you User was temp banned for this post. Oh rofl this, so this..Anyone who played CA fucking hates the hacker infestation. I was in Aces for my time there (i played for like 2 years and still sucked -_-) and they fucking despised hackers, too bad the good people there were blinded by their friendship to the newer recruits that started hacking. I quit the game and sure enough on the banlists a month later 3/4 people i accused turned up there. Oh the apologies were sweet :D | ||

I doo use cheat codes in single player games sometimes just to do something crazy, but those saves etc never get used much. | ||

Oh and I played a warcraftII 1v1 with a friend, we agreed both to use cheat codes, that was the lamest game we have ever witnessed, maybe that's why I never did it again. I didn't install the team color mod in SC2 because I want to start on an equal foot with my opponent. | ||

Depending on the mood I'm in though, or how blatant someone is being, sometimes I enjoy playing against hackers for the sake of improving. (Overly blatant ones won't give you a chance to fight back in a realistic manner, but people trying to hide it can make for an amazing training tool.) | ||

But MP is all about level playing fields. Also despite anonymity I do care somewhat about my reputation, plus being banned is a very real possibility under Steam and BNet so hacking in MP is a big no-no. | ||

Other than that, I've occassionally screwed around with cheat codes against computers and friends in older games for fun, but not for any real advantage. (Galactic Battlegrounds cheats were strange - sure, you could get 1000 minerals free, but so did your opponent.) | ||
