Hackers and Multiplayer

[Jailbird408]

I would probably be honored to join a fight with a hacker in SSBB. So long as he doesn't crash my game. Or abuse his powers.

i play mw2 and the hacked lobbys are annoying sometimes, but thats ok, i have a program which saves a backup of stats, lvl, classes, titles and emblems every 15 minutes. hackers are actually rare. maybe one wh per week. and its normally pretty easy to bash'em:
hacker is hacking
me: "even your parents hate you"
hacker: "i have tools to destroy ur stats"
me: "i have backups"
hacker: "fuck you"
hacker leaves the game

Let me guess, he sounded like his balls haven't dropped yet? Anyways, no such luck for WAW, the hackers have taken over.

Nazi Zombies used to be fun in that game. They made NAZI ZOMBIES unfun! How do you do that?

OT: Report, move on, try to come to terms that I never have an impact on their numbers. It's a sad, depressing cycle, but dammit! I will fight this fight.

People on that game beg for hackers in Nazi Zombies, I have an ISO and people practically rape my message box with requests for Quarantine Zombies >.<

Ooh found video to show what it is

Played a zombie mod in CoD2. I was one of the zombies, and one player stated that he'd been kicked from another server for flying. Next thing i know, i'm floating above the ground. I looked around, there were flying zombies everywhere! Was rather hilarious.

At least it's fun to rub it in about how much they suck when they are incapable of hitting you with all their cheap hacks.

Meh, after a while they expect that sort of rage and feed off of it. They start seeing it as the entertainment value of doing it in the first place. It becomes their fun. They divert to a screaming child yelling "Look at me, look at me!" and similar behavior when some one so much as raises an eyebrow at them.

I honestly wish we could change the term. They aren't "Hacking" anything. The ones that made the original hack are, yeah sure, but about 98% of 'hackers' out there simply google their hacks. Reason being. The term "hacking" to them sounds cool. It's like teenagers first cigarette to them in the idea that often sounds like "Hehe I'm doing something I shouldn't be, this is awesome!"

They get an honest thrill once some one notices them and points it out. "He's hacking." It's their adrenaline rush. It makes them feel special to be noticed, and it makes them feel cool. Calling them hackers is like the Joe Camel of gaming. They aren't hackers despite the popular understanding of the word when we call them that. While it gets the point across, it is also detrimental. I feel the term "script-kiddy" works, but I despise the idea of every single person assuming another player in the game is a "kid." That annoys the crap out of me.

Person has a fit over something or other, or joins a server just to troll. "Oh he's probably like 12 years old and has nothing better to do." NO! How are we going to shake this stereotypical mindset of games "being only for children," when we can't even do it ourselves? Most likely he's a 20 something who has nothing better to do. To me that sounds more insulting because usually the younger you are, the less is expected of you, so of course you have more free time on your hands.

Script-kiddy, I like it. Eplains their lack of skill in both the game and hacking in general and it also denotes how immature they are.

I have no good experience with hackers. However, when I played Call of Duty (1) back in the days, there was this hack out and me and my clan all had it and we all went in a server while being on teamspeak. It was really funny and everyone's reactions were WTF. Shooting each other was funny and entirely at random. However we only hacked for like a week and most of the fun was gone. We still kept the hacks, though. But we never used them any more.
