I remember the good old days of Doom:

That was fun. Load up on the berzerk pak, and god mode. Then run around smooshing imps.
I used to cheat on all my old single-player games, Descent, Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior. But that was just me, not me vs some other real person, that doesn't like it when I'm invincible, and got the rocketlauncher with unlimited rockets.
Cheats on the internet probably shouldn't be allowed, it'll just piss people off.
Others reprogram their video cards to hide the elaborate textured walls in a game. All that is left is a wire-frame outline, allowing a player to see through walls and track those hiding behind them.
If you can reprogram your video card then you wouldn't even HAVE to cheat.

From the article: "When I play an online game, I can't be the best because there are some college kids out there spending 14 hours a day."
What college is this that you can play games 14 hours a day and still pass? Everyone I know that did that either failed out or is taking so few credits they might as well have dropped out. College kids, I fear not. 12-year olds who have nothing to do all summer long, I fear.

I never saw the point in cheating, it just lessens the experience. I remember there was this one team of guys that used to use cheats and/or exploits in Operation Flashpoint. I never understood the logic: if you are playing a game for fun and challenge, how do you feel rewarded if you achieve victory unfairly?
For example, CNN reported that Iraqi forces were using wallhacks, and they have been camping in spots located well outside of the battle map/field where US missles can't reach. Totally unfair.

I am usually sufficiently gratified when I crush someone I suspect strongly of cheating by knowing it's probably some whiny 13 year old staring at his screen in impotent frustration to not really care about the other 9 out of 10 times he's beat me, not by skill but through some technology he most likely didn't create
I feel the same way - when the Quake 3 demo first came out, I played online a bit. One day a player came along that was taking advantage of a serious speed enhancement... so I devoted the rest of my time to tracking and killing him. It didn't take long to find him as he'd wander all over at top speed... the funny thing was is that he was pretty predicable, even though very fast... so I was able to kill him before he got me about once for every three kills he got. I also taunted him, and I know I got to him as eventually he started only going after me!! Of course, knowing he was coming made it even easier to get kills as I could just slam rockets into a wall he was about to go past and throw him into a chasm, or other fun things... plus he was rather an idiot and probably killed himself as often as I did by trying to use rockets while running all over at top speed.
Anyway, it is fun to torment cheaters.

see, the problem can also be viewed as "why are gamers turning to cheating?"
I was a totally legit CounterStrike player until I figured out that the people that were constantly fragging the daylights out of me were not doing so unaided.
so now I sparingly use an aimbot. sparingly, meaning I turn it on when up against major cheaters so I can at least play on even ground with them, and leave it off at times when it appears that all/most opponents are playing un-aided.
I personally wish the CounterStrike world would just bite the bullet and segregate into cheating and non-cheating servers. THEN aggressively kick and ban cheaters on non-cheating servers.

And then of course, when you finally beat him, he accuses you of cheating.:)

One of the players engaging in this automated counterfeiting, a 29-year-old financial planner from Texas, said he did so without apology (although he did not want to be identified by name). "I think the bots actually level the playing field for people who have day jobs," he said. "When I play an online game, I can't be the best because there are some college kids out there spending 14 hours a day."
Judging by his definition of leveling the playing field, he must have been an Anderson intern.
Why Be a Cheater ?

How to ruin a 14 year olds day. Or a 30 year old.
Why be a cheater when it's more fun to TeamKill instead ??
Seriously, killing guys all day with wireframe and grenade hacks does not piss the otherr players off as much as team killing.
You have to get really psychological with the other players. Do a couple of team kills and explain that you are a newbie (having a name like Player 6 helps). Sorry man !! didn't mean to kill you!! I did not know where you were when I threw the grenade and so on...
After a while they will figure it out and team kill you and get the same server enforced penaltys (less money for weapons and whatnot).
Then you go into chat and start saying "what's your problem man ? Just trying to have some fun and being a dick.." During this phase don't team kill (just GET team killed).
Finally the last phase is when people trust you again to really open up the team killing whoopass.
Designers of the new Star Wars game initially planned to let players communicate in strange languages that would be translated by other players' computers, he said. But the developers soon realized that cheats would find a way to break into the hidden dictionary, gaining the ability to speak the various languages and negotiate with aliens from other planets - a skill that would normally develop only over time.
Have the LucasArts people seen the new Star Wars movies? The only alien languages would be "Broken English with Asian accent," "Broken English with Jamaican accent," "Broken English with Italian accent"...
