The replay could be map editting, only Blizzard *realistically* knows if it is a ladder game or not.

It's tricky, because if Blizzard bans someone on unjustifiable claims Blizzard could be in a lot of trouble.

Thats BS.

All that needs to be transmitted to the server are the player's actions. The clients will sync the game to the server's version. Server decides what information to send back to client, it really doesn't take much bandwidth to do that even with 200 units.

dont you remember guys the probe-mutalisk hack in BW? that was the most weird hack ever:D a toss could morph eggs mutalish within from a probe:D for free.

or he coulda build a extractor to the ramp, and after the enemy killed his extractor or assimilator or whatever, a gas remained there, blocking the ramp perfectly:D

hackers will be always here, whether its 60$ or not. better antihack is a need.

Why is everyone so certain its a hack and not an exploit?

There goes the question:

What's hacking and what's exploiting?

In earlier battle reports, one could see warp-ins for immortals. It seems to me, that blizzard added the normal immortal build to the robotics facility and did not remove it from warp gates but simply removed the button one needs to click to use this ability. With this scenario, it becomes extremely easy to write such a hack as one just needs to make a third party application, which hacks into the current network connection, and use some global hotkey to make that third party application to insert the warp-in-immortal-command into the normal network stream. This would simply circumvent the need for a button ingame. But if this was the case (which i am pretty sure it is), i am extreeeeemely confused as to how blizzard could - after having hosted rts ladders for so many years - still make such a noobish mistake. That would be totally ridiculous.


as to lurkers: If any unit has the ability to morph to lurkers and there is, just like for immortal warp-in, simply no button available: In that case, the exact same hack could be used to morph lurkers. But it would still require the according tech-requirements to be present. So you would not only need lurker morph, but also build lurker den to be "insertable" this way. If a tech requirement is not present, the game simulation simply discards the command as it was obviously issued either by a hack or through lag (like you send the command regularly, but when the command arrives at the host, the tech building you need to execute it has already been destroyed). So lurker den would be needed for it to be actually simulated, only sending the command is not needed.
