I personally take pride in playing games without the use of cheat codes or mods. However lately It seems that more and more cheaters and moders have found there way into the online gaming world. I never quite understood what would make a person want to cheat on a video game. What could doing such actions possibly accomplish attaining another level or prestiging. Who cares there is only 15 prestiges in black ops, so once you cheat your way to level 50 on the last prestige where do you go from there. I am sure it is a hollow disatisying feeling to know that all your accomplishments in a game came falsely.

The thing that astounds me even more is how angry these people get when you catch them lag switching, or using a hit mod. This happened to me over the weekend, I noticed something was going on in my black ops hardcore team deathmatch game. So i checked the connection and everyone on the opposing team connection would fluxuate between 0ne and 4 bars, and everyone on the opposing team was skipping all across the map. It became very frustrating when you sneak up behind someone with a shotgun shoot them in the back and they turn around and shoot you then skip away.

I was going to back out of the game because this usually ends the problem I have with these people, but the next round I ended up on the cheating team and listened how they laughed while playing about how no one could kill them.

I asked them why they felt the need to cheat and they replied why not. We do it just to hear everyone whine about it after the game. Then they asked me if i wanted to learn how to cheat and i said no thanks, and left the session but what was sad is how they saw nothing wrong with this.

Maybe I am old school but how pathetic in life are you when you feel the need to cheat on a video game then brag about it. I play online to have fun, interact with friends, and compete on video games in my limited free time. But to some of these people it seems that playing video games, and getting a little prestige symbol has become more. Its just a game, If people put as much effort into improving themselves versus improving there kill to death ratio maybe they might be alittle more sucessful in life.

People cheat in every game and sadly there is noting you can do about it.

For Example, in Gears of War 1 there was a handful of slide and chainsaw glitchs, as well as out of map glitchs.

But as a player you had to adapt, and if they left the map I sure was doing the glitch myself to go get them and 90% of the time they where just running around the empty space like idiots. No stupid wall glitch is gonna steal a kill from me lol

You can't change people, but at least in games you can kill em.

In all likelyhood, it has nothing to do with rank. I know a lot of people find that hard to believe but generally "modding" is quite fun. Whether it be running fast and yada yada in the game. People find it funny when they can do those things and you cannot.

I personally don't see it as a huge deal unless it becomes like Halo 2 where the level 50 is level 38 due to 39 and above being ruled by modders and standbyers.

And to add: "Modders" generally don't release "mods" to support cheating. Many modders despise cheating. It's just like anything else. Nub kids take the skillful mods and learn how to do just enough to gain an unfair advantage. This gives "modders" a bad reputation. "Modders" generally aren't "cheaters".

I agree, gaming isn't all about that crap. Back in the day before you could play online it was a little different. If a person cheated then it just affected them and no one else. Now with online play cheating and modding affects alot of people. There is nothing like trying to play an innocent game of nazi zombies and someone steal your account.

unfortunatly I must agree with that. I found myself doing the things I hated just to to kill the ones that were doing that to everyone else. But it had to be simple because I am not smart enough to do a hard glitch haha. Thankfully now I have gotten away from that. It is nice gaming with people that feel the way I do about gaming.

or it makes the people that do it on their own look like crap. because no one does it legit anymore. just because there is a easier way to get to 15th prestige

I personally take more pride in reaching every level on my own. I think it looks funny when someones leaderboard stats show level 15 prestige with only 150 kills and 40 deaths. At least I can say that I worked for what I got.

With online gameplay there is going to be cheaters, or modders...it's been going on since xbox first went online with return to castle wolfenstein. It's always about 2-3 months after the game comes out...BAM!!! modders everywhere because they start modding for other people for 1600 msp and s@$t!!! I say they should all be banned to the point where they can't even get another account at that address.
