Wondering about different cheats in use on GaRa.
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2004 10:53 am
Does anyone know if "invisibility" cheats, cheats that "Highlight" opponents, or "inVINcibility" cheats are in use out there?
Some days, it seems that I'm playing against a ghost, or someone who can eat 5 shots to the head and then turn around to smite me. Some days I DO suck at the game more than others, but my suspicions are growing. And it's not fun anymore if people are cheating. FURTHERMORE, if people are cheating while there is a player rating system on GaRa, then that only gives them more reason to cheat.
I SAY, if someone mods a cheat into the game, then they aren't playing the same game as the rest of us. So they can't really say they've won, can they, now?
On a somewhat related note, does anyone know if GhRD can be modded or manipulated so that someone other than the host can start the game?
Three times now when I haven't Readied Up OR set a AUTOSTART timeout limit, the game has started anyway. As if someone "forced" it without my say-so. I'm just about in FITS trying to figure out what's going ON. One specific gamer is the only unifying element in these three games, but I don't want to make accusations, and there may be a perfectly reasonable explanation. I just don't know what it might be. Can somebody HELP me with?
Also, is kicking out spawn-killers acceptable/in good taste?
I'm trying to run a reputable establishment, you know? Call me a prude but I'm thinking that an online-gaming etiquette guide is long overdue.
