I remember one time I joined a Quake II server back in the day, and EVERYONE was cheating, running around glowing white god-mode. Sure they kicked the crap out of me, but it was fun pushing them into the lava with rockets. I guess they had to turn off the cheat or reconnect to continue playing at that point :)
Ive been called a cheater many a time, simply because I PWN THE NOOBS MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And thats one reason I dont play very much CSS anymore as well...always gettin called a hacker by idiot noobs that dont know how to play a game.
btw Ive always played in pubs, this is probably why...I always had fun on #DoPHighTimes# when I did play though, then my connection to that server started sucking and has ever since lagged terribly :mad:
Haha. I like playing against cheaters...more of a challenge. Of course, when it gets so ridiculous that they headshot you without you having time to react...well, then it's lame. But if they just have wallhack or something, it's fine by me. :DQuote:

From ghosting behind the cheater to witnessing the speed hack, you name it.
I haven't played Source for a bit (lost my product key and did a re-install of Windows on my system) so I can't really say today what its like. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if its as bad as 1.6 used to be.
The cheating was rampant in 1.6 and while I was playing Source it seemed to be getting more common.
Cheating in CS was every bit as common as a false accusation as far as I'm concerned.
And while one false accusation can be brushed aside easily enough, 1 cheater in CS can throw the whole game off.
I don't think that paranoia has anything to do with the cheating problem is CS...
Great game, but WAY too many fking pu$$y losers...
I just don't play online any more. When I play CS:S, it's against the bots. The only game I still play online is BF2.
The only game i play online is also BF2...BUT sometimes it stinks.
I get on a map , and theres one guy dominating it with a helicopter or jet, and he just flies around blowing everything up. I cant get in any vehicule...I get nailed right away . So i just spend the whole game hiding in the grass ....sux. :mad:
I played CS in earlier versions and CS:S. I had the wallhack on the previous CS really early version a friend installed it on my computer because his video card wasn't compatible with the hack. It's a novelty for a while but it got boring and the funniest part is I was never accused of hacking when I had it but in later versions and CS:S I would be. But thats because if I knew someone was behind a door I'd take another route or if I saw someone camping I'd toss a nade that round and again the next even though he wasn't there. So no one ever grew suspicious and I never killed through walls just used it as an FYI. But then later when I no longer had the hack you see someones shadow behind a door or against a wall and you fire into the door and get accused of hacking. CS:S just got annoying being kicked from servers because you were better then admins and the "I want to be a winner" syndrome where everyone piles onto one team so they can dominate 1 or 2 new players that are now outnumbered 4 to 1. I personally like the challenge and always am the first to join a struggling team or join an outnumbered team.
These days its online racing for me, cheating is nearly nonexistant as in theres only 1 known cheater in the entire game. And even so its pretty obvious someone is cheating because global world record laptimes are kept so if someone shave 4 seconds off a world record something is not right. And just watching the car if he's doing 180mph when the max the car will do is 140 then something is up. It's quite fun a real challenge shaving tenth's of a second off your lap times, tweaking the car etc.
Gave up CS along long time ago after it got too competitive.
Anyways, real men play Maple Story!
For those of you sick of CS, give Hidden:Source a try. Sadly there are cheaters there too, but it is a source engine game... which unfortunately makes cheating all too easy.
It's sad that anyone plays Source, the hitboxes are so bad, it shouldn't of even been released like that. There are a lot of cheats on CS:S and the Original CS also, but not as many as you'd think. It's too bad Steam sucks so much =x...but that's another thread.
CSS is still a lot of fun, the key is to find a few well-moderated servers and play on them and them alone. When the regulars and mods know you, you will not get called a hacker since they will have seen you suck enough times to offset those unbelievable rounds, and in turn, when someone who comes on is obviously hacking (can run 10x the speed of anyone else, etc.), they get banned in moments.
Pub CSS is pretty bad, but with the right people, it's a blast.
Oh, and the hitbox thing, while still not perfect, is FAR better than it used to be.
Dunno about source I dont play it cause its bad but most of the people who complain about cheaters in cs just arent that good, alot of ppl who play the game more seriously are real good.. I used to play alot and for some cal-i teams and getting banned from pub servers is a daily thing
Yea, that sucks too.Quote:

I hate the games like that where one team will absolutely mow another team down in 30 seconds flat and the admin does nothing to even up the teams.
If one team is getting wasted bad consistently, I will jump on the other team to try to even things up.
Even then sometimes its all for naught (ie. I just start getting wasted just as bad).
Often I find that your own personal record is often indicative of how well your team is doing (or isn't doing).
And I agree with another poster... a good admin on the server can keep the game even and fun.
The automatic banning of a discovered hacker helps a lot.
