Poll: Does using glitches as cheating?

[Scarecrow38]

Glitching is kinda a grey area, because the nature of each glitch is different. Some are minor and aren't really serious enough to count as cheating. Others give you a significant advantage that your opponents canoot counter, that's when I would start calling it cheating.

It really depends, look a Gunz: The duel. The unique gameplay has come from people glitching the game. So yeah I think it can be cheating, but it can also can create new and interesting game play.

Gunz has atrocious gameplay based around spazzing and spamming... Doesn't help your point much.


That said, yes, exploiting glitches is cheating. You're exploiting something you shouldn't for your advantage. There's no "grey area" here either, no "only in this situation!". It's cheating. It's the definition of cheating. Singleplayer, multiplayer, local lan... It's always cheating. The only difference is you won't get kicked/banned/insulted in single player for doing it as you're only cheating yourself.

glitching is using a problem in a program (game)to your advantage so yes it is cheating.As your playing the game in a way it wasnt designed to be played.

No, it's Glitching.

Yeah, just because the game acts to your advantage doesn't mean your a cheater....

...just taking advantage of a strange occurrence...

The map glitches on CoD4 are a good example. If you need to use a certain tactic to get into a spot on the map you are not intended to be (on a wall, inside a hill, on top of a roof, out of the map etc.) then you are cheating and will be reported as such.
