  1. Stopping cheating is not possible on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 1
    I play a lot of online Unreal Tournament, and I occasionally see obvious cheaters. The only way to be sure you're not playing cheaters is to play matches at LAN parties and at gaming conventions. Why? Because people can cheat without requiring any cheat code on the gaming machine.

    Consider a game like Unreal Tournament, Quake III, or Counterstrike.

    Hook up a camera that only responds to the color of whatever you want to kill, connect it to the fire button, and point it at the cross-hairs.

    This low-tech triggerbot will not be detected by any CSHP or UTPure, or PunkBuster, or whatever... and good players won't have any behavior patterns to look for (aimbot cheaters typically behave wrong... always pointing at the nearest person, for example).
