Do they annoy any of you as much as they annoy me? :mad:

I take the time to set up an internet multiplayer game, and the bastards cheat at the game.
First it was Age Of Empires - Rise Of Rome and The Conquerers. There was NO WAY there were enough resources to do what was done, or to progress so rapidly.
And now Quake Arena. You're chasing someone, guns ablaze when they suddenly teleport - with no teleport available on that arena. Or the sudden leaps high into the air for no aparrent reason other than they are getting shot to bits.
I've even tried combat flight sim - bit boring that one, but the bastards even cheat on that one. I couldn't believe it.
Why do people ruin games like this? I don't mind if deliberate cheats have been enabled, that can be a laugh, but one sided cheating in a serious game, no. I've now stopped playing Age of Empires and Quake against unknown rivals, which is a pity really.

I never play multiplayer games over the net, because you can't thump them when they try to cheat.

I understand that now.

But surely these people can't truly enjoy the game either?

Well, I'd enjoy killing everyone and not being harmed on a game like Quake.

For the first few goes. But then they'd all avoid me... :cry:

It would just get boring after a while.

I've only played online on 2 occasions with the game red alert, now i classed myself as a decent player with this game but i was defeated in 8 minutes and 12 by an army that would have taken an hour to build (cheating ****ers) obviously they had the no fog crack on also so they could find me straight away....i have'nt bothered since, its just a waste of time :(

I love playing over the network though, used to have a mate round and spent endless hours playing this game ....

Its bloody stupid; cheating on multiplayer games.
Since when I'm in a game like Unreal Tournament, and someone does a cheat, it can often lag me hugley, since my PC isnt the best in the world.

I kinda think it fun going against the odds... a bit.

I think its a bit pointless cheating on games, the manufacturers disable the cheats in multiplayer games usually, such as unreal tournament, but people download the stupid trainers and other things to cheat. It normally just ruins the game for other people.

And i reckon that if someone needs to cheat to win, then they are just a s**t gamer!

I used to play a lot of Worms 2 online.
People used to cheat on it by using loads of sheep bombs or super banana bombs or ming vases or the feared concrete donkey (see anger management).

I hate them. Online cheaters are the scum of the internet. Obviously not as scummy as AskJeeves but still pretty scummy.
