HayprO used Oblivion? Haha i didn't know that.

Anyway in SC2 it's going to be pretty hard to tell for certain considering a completely stealth maphack is possible. You'd just have to notice patterns of a player acting suspiciously (like instantly directly scouting a proxy location) which is hard to tell for certain. Rigged maps no longer a problem at least.

You guys are talking about this like people are rehabilitating from drug abuse or domestic abuse. Cheating in starcraft is not any worse than downloading a song from a torrent tracker illegally.

Cheating means you're taking risks.. just like taking steroids in sports. You take the risk for the reward, knowing you might get caught...

..except when you get caught cheating in Starcraft, you just make a new name and no one gives a fuck.

I think hacking is way more serious then some people think. Especially in tourney's. IMO you shouldn't only get banned forever, but also get a huge fine or something.

A huge fine isn't enforceable unless there's a law behind it.

While "past" actions don't necessarily predict the "future", I do think that current and recent actions are an indicator of future ones. If people re not and have not in the recent past played BW cleanly, they should not be allowed in SC2. If they have cleaned up their act in BW and can show as much, hey, cool, let them in.
All we need is a little Energon and a lot of luck.

All you can ACTUALLY do is trust in the game's anticheat. This isn't BW which was for all intents and purposes abandoned after some years forcing 3rd party anticheats. This is a brand new game which has Blizzard's full attention. Hackers will be dealt with. If old hackers aren't cheating, good. If they are, I trust they'll be caught.

Ban them from outside tournaments and berrate them on forums.

Nothing else can be done. Just wait to see em do it on LAN.

I think a hard line is important, like Kespa with Savior. You can't compare BMs with the videogame equivalent of steroid abusers like that dude a few pages back.

It depends on the situation, and how the hacker handles it.

Not to be too off topic, but Testie are you playing sc2 at all!?!?
It's mog if you are wondering/remember ;P

explain this please. If a hacker constantly cheats, he's not going to suddenly stop cheating when a new game comes out -_-

When trust is destroyed, it takes a long time to get it back. Hackers should never be given a warm welcome, period. IMO I'll never 100% trust a proven hacker, but if they can go 1-2 years without hacking, then at that point maybe the trust-building can begin again.

nobody likes him. But a counter-example is DIMAGA, who is a proven abuser, yet everyone pretty much adores him.


What do you mean, an "abuser"? And when has he done this? I don't know anything about this (not saying its not true, just interested to know more)


DIMAGA abused to improve his ladder rating in the TSL2, and was subsequently disqualified from the TSL2, banned from TL events for 12 months, is banned from competing in the TSL3 in the future, and was banned from GG.net events & rankings for 6 months:

Keep in mind he doesn't exactly fit the OP's description, because he's not a repeat offender, and he definitely tried to make up for it by apologizing afterwards.

Not sure if the people you're talking about have been caught numerous times, but with a new game comes new trust, or so I would think.

User was temp banned for this post.

Lol this guy obviously doesn't know wut happened in be with kids like Dino who hacked every day for fun and admittd it. There is no way these guys shud be magically forgiven just because our game platform changed.

To be quite honest I still find it hard to trust the TSL2 abusers like Dimaga. Although with regards to map hackers like Executor and that ilk I don't think we can ever trust them again. They were given enough chances with Brood War, there's no reason why they won't just maphack all over again.

The cheating response should be just like the American response to sex offenders. You have to register as such and are constantly monitored for the rest of your days while everyone else knows just how despicable you really are/were.

Trek, tt1, testie... these are all guys who rehabilitated and went on to do great things for the community. You cannot say the same for those guys.


Testie shouldn't be listed among them. He hacked multiple times - at least twice that I can think off - said he'd never do it again, then blatantly ruined the game for others by doing it again. Though to be fair, not being caught for seven or so years after that makes up for it somewhat.

Still, I have not sympathy for hackers. Get caught, then fuck off. I won't lose any tears over someone ruining the game for others not being able to play because he got caught. No self-respecting individual would hack.

Probably with the above paragraph is that it's only true for people 18+.... before that, we all do stupid things - even though I still despise hackers even if they're minors !

Many maphackers start out 'trying it out for fun'. But you see, it is actually a different mindset. Theirs is not to play the game in a fair way, but more to explore to what extent technical shortcomings can be used to gain (unfair) advantages. That is how they play THEIR game. Important difference. Personally I wouldn't be too happy to play against a maphacker, especially if it's a game where I'm sweating my ass off trying to get that win.

Unfortunately it cannot be prevented. As long as the server sends ALL unit data to all players (even those under the fog of war), that data can be used by maphackers. So I guess it's a matter of accepting that a small percentage of your games will be against a maphacker (would me extremely small actually)..
