Hi All,
I have been pondering about cheat codes, and considering wouldn't it be nice if we had more that were like the ones featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
I do not like easy games to much, as it feels more rewarding when I finally complete what I was hoping to achieve. For instance, I was trying to complete Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on Hard difficulty. I had got to the point where I could not beat, "The Devil Went Down To Georgia." I knew there were no cheat codes or glitches which could help me out of my situation, so I spent around 2 hours on the one song, my wrists were beginning to fall off and I was just about ready to throw Guitar Hero out of the window shouting rude words at it. But I kept going, and I eventually did it. I was so happy that I ran around the house like a raving looney in great happiness, knowing that I had accomplished something.
Now, we begin to reach my point. If there was a cheat code or glitch to unlock the achievement "Always Hard", I may have given in and just cheated. Also the same goes for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on veteran difficulty. After completing Call of Duty I went and got the last few achievements I had left: "Your Show Sucks", "Look Sharp" and "Eyes And Ears". I did not realise they unlocked cheats as I collected them, and since I had completed the games SP fully, as far as I was concerned, I thought I would have a quick look at them. I was expecting the same old, rehashed cheats that many games have had: "Invunarable", "Unlimited Ammo" etc. However, to my suprise... they were actually funny cheats. For instance, "A Bad Year", cheat allows you to turn the enemy into tyres when they are killed. This made the game alot more interesting and made me want to do levels again with these cheats on. Also playing "All Ghillied Up" with the cheat which speeds up the game, turns it black and white, and plays the piano music, was hilarious to play.
These are the cheat codes that I would like to see more of in video games. However I am aware that even with unlimited ammo, and invunerability games can still be fun. For instance, GTA is very fun running around with unlimited ammo and health doing as you please. However it makes the game to easy and I found the game to get a little boring after a while.
So, would you like to see the old, "unlimted ammo/health" etc. cheats gone?!
