Why do you do it? What do you enjoy about it?

P.S.: This thread is about the people who cheat and their motives, not methods of cheating. If this thread is in violation of the ToS, feel free to lock it.

Well years ago I cheated a bit in Counter Strike.

Why? Because I sucked and fps games suck when you suck so I cheated to enjoy it a bit more. Some might say that cheating in a fps makes it boring but those have never tried it. ;) It is really fun! :P

The only games I have ever cheated in are single player games and it was fun for maybe 20 minutes but then I got bored. In multiplayer games I guess it makes them feel acomplished that they can actualy seem like they are a good player and the other people playing the game can't do to much about it unlike real life where if you cheat at a game you stand a good chance to get pummeled.

I have used hax in StarCraft for a 'use map settings' game. It was pretty fun.

It's terrific fun. It's about the idea that you have an advantage and you can screw with the other players. It's like playing god in a multiplayer game and players don't know you're god. It's tight. And I'm not even bad at CS:S. I played CAL way back when and was pretty good - I would only wallhack in pubs when I got bored. It gives you an idea what the enemy does behind cover so you can have better prediction when you don't hack. P.S. I never cheat in SP games.

The thought of cheating in MP games hasn't ever really appealed to me... I like to feel that I'm (or we're) winning because I/we have skill, not because we've used something to get an unfair advantage. Although looking at some of the previous posts I can see why it could be fun,, I still won't ever do it.

SP games though? I always do it for a bit of fun, but hardly ever to get past a section I found difficult. It's always fun spawning vehicles in every new place you go to though... but I usually only do it on a second play through.

It's always fun to rack up kills. Don't you have fun spawn camping? Cheatings kinda like that but they have a slim chance of fighting back. Aimbots can only kill so much people before you get overan. Spawn killing your charecter shows up a little before you actually gain control of your dude and by that time the spawn camper has already started shooting

I haven't cheated, but I have exploited flaws... Head glitches for example, I regularly use those (head glitches are areas in FPS games where you can stand and look over/shoot from something, but people looking at it can't see/hit you...

I have also been in a challenge lobby on 360 MW2... (But that doesn't really affect others I guess)...

I don't cheat though, mostly because there are no easy ways to cheat on console games, it mostly involves modding/hdd memory editing, etc... On PC it is usually a few clicks of the mouse downloading a program of some sort away to cheat... Which is why I usually don't play PC games in MP, just consoles...

I don't cheat in multiplayer games, unless you count exploit abusing against just my friends cheating. I used to cheat in some single player games, but I put in the wrong codes and it messed up my Pokemon Ruby game, I stopped cheating after that, besides the devolper console on some games (mainly to unlock stuff in Oblivion if I'm just starting out and have OOO on).

Because they are weak and want to ruin the others' game, that's why. There aren't other reasons.

back when CS was still in the good ol' beta days I ran a norecoil script for a bit. It was interesting, but ultimately didnt do much.

I also tried aimbot out of curiosity but, I am an honest gamer, so I gave it up after like a day.

This was like 10 years ago though

I tried using some hacks back in CS 1.5 but it got old fast. I prefer to rely on skill to get the job done :)

A couple of friends and I would cheat just to troll. It was never to be better than everyone else.

Main thing I hate about cheaters (in mp) is that they think that their fun is more important than the rest of the servers they think that because it brings them some enjoyment it is okay to sacrifice everyone else's.

I once used a wallhack in CSS "dust_2" map because i got so bored with it. And it made the game a little more interesting for a short while, but after that it became even worse. Made me quit CSS completely, and I've never touched it since. But that first half-hour or so was pretty funny - Me on the terrorist side and waiting with a sniper for the CTs to run past the double-doors. I tell ya, after I dropped a few guys running through, nobody else dared to try again for the next few rounds, they all came from the side door. :) My point is, cheating will most likely kill a game for you whether it's MP or SP. Sure it's kinda fun in the beginning, but gradually the game loses it's charm and you lose your sense of competition and/or challenge, thus making the game lose it's appeal to you. My advice to anybody who wants to use cheats is that, if you like the game a lot and would prefer to keep playing it for a long time, don't use cheats, whether in SP or MP. Simple as that.
