The english Modern Dictionary has the word cheat defined as many things but the main ones are deceive, trick, gain an unfair advantage by deception or breaking rules.
I've been Action Quake 2player for some time now and have seen cheating in this mod for Quake 2 over the years. Although I still play AQ2 I also enjoy playing Counter-Strikewhich seems to be amassing a numer of cheaters as well.
There were a number of cheats you could use in AQ2. The main cheat were bots and these enable a player to always hit another player, they basically track an opponent. However this was also its give away because it would track them trough walls and also the players seemed to suddenly flip around and kill someone behind them. The good thing about AQ2 is one of the views you can select, after your dead, is a view through the eyes of any player playing.
Another cheat, used on a larger scale, was a script. This script enabled users of the M4 to stop kick back which made the M4 tricky to use over the MP5. So now without the kick back it was like a very powerful MP5 and this was considered unfair since, even though easy to do, it changed the way the M4 was orignally intended to act.
Now on to CS. I've heard of a number of cheats including the ability to see through walls, see through smoke grens, spikey models. The only one I have seen proof of is spikey models which makes your model stand out and gives your position away.
There are major fears now that the new patch will create a load more cheats, pings have dropped because the main change has been the fact that instead of doing most of the work server side, its now done client side which cuts down the amount of information being sent between the client and server hence the improvement. This has had the side effect of making more information and more of the work available to the client.
I've been called a cheat more than once in AQ2 and this was mainly by bad losers, however my fellow AQ2 players came to my defence since they know me. I have to say that a little while after I started playing CS someone called me a cheater, I was shocked and asked him why the hell he thought that at which point he started talking rubbish. When he called me it again I just replied 'Yes I'm a cheating bastard everyone' which everyone took as the joke it was meant to be since they knew he was talking rubbish. I would like to point out that just because someone kills you it doesn't make them a cheater so please bite your tongue and remain civilised on the servers.
I'm puzzled by one thing "Whats in the winning when you cheat?"
