Wonder why they finally implemented this. I haven't had a problem with hackers so far. Been called a map-hacker, though.
P.S. You can see invisible units because light bends through them. That's not a hack.
 
[citation][nom]ColMirage[/nom]Protip: SC2 does not require a disc to play.[/citation]

NOCD hacks are the best and should be allowed, a game that doesn't require a CD for play is even better.

Hacks are fun for about an hour, on a private server, with your buddies, and then it's played out. They really kill the game and the balance the developers were going for. Blizzard should do whatever it takes.
 
What many of you are forgetting is it is unlikely they boguht they game at all. New email addy + keygen = back in playing/hacking in 5 min.

Not possible.

That's why I don't play online. Cheats and hacks takes the fun out of the game.

Maybe if you didn't make idiotic statements, it wouldn't be down-rated...did 'cha think about that biache?

All I want to do is play.

I assume you haven't yet brought yourself to read ColMirage's reply to your inane post.
 
Good luck catching my group, I use private hacks that me and my friends make and we haven't been caught and we've been cheating since the came out
 
Real gamers don't need or want hacks, all the groups I play with, no matter what game, if you even suspected of hacking for the purpose of winning you are out. So stop bitching
 
I understand why people rob or commit suicide or even murder some on else. I do not agree at all but there is an explanation. But I don't get why people cheat. It's beyond my bran capabilities. To show unknown people that you are good which clearly you aren't (cheats)? or just to have fun and make other people mad? people paid 60$ bucks + dlc's to cheat??!!!?!! wow! it would be so boring for me to just watch how a software plays for me. People have serious problems..trolls and cheaters are incredible.

Perhaps they have the money to throw it out in that way so they dont care if they get banned or not
 
Dude Xerroz you sound SO HXC FOR REAL. Can you please teach the rest of us to be ball-less asshats like you that probably bring a crowbar to a fist fight?

If you'd ever lived in the real world you'd realize people with your attitude don't last long.
 
Oh, and just because your mom gives you free money doesn't make you cool. Actually, it makes you a lot more likely to get jumped which makes me laugh my ass off.
 
:/
I don't play SC2, but...
*Some incoherent statements about how Diablo and Diablo 2 turned out even with a very similar EULA*
Oh well, no one(company) is perfect!
 
Have yet to play in any games where my opponent is obviously cheating. Of course banning the few cheaters that do exist is great. Thanks for being proactive about this Blizzard.

No joke. Fingers crossed that Blizzard finds a way to curb/prevent the rampant duping and rune-hacking that have plagued D/D2 before Diablo 3 launches.
 
Are there still single-player cheat codes like "Make It So", "Something For Nothing" and "On Screen" (hmm... I think some of those are WCII not SC, oh well)? To be honest, I'm not that good a Starcraft player, and I needed those cheats to beat the final levels of the campaigns in the first Starcraft. If they didn't make you beat one campaign before you could play the next, it would have been different. Of course, I guess with SCII's separate campaigns, it won't be such a problem anymore.

Still, I haven't bought it yet, Tom's hasn't come out with a review that would tell me if my machine can play it. When we gonna see that review Tom's? Are you guys still under a review "embargo" LOL.
 
all of blizzard games have typically been the most hacked cheated games throught the entire industry, fair play and blizzard have never been synonomous actions. Many make money off of it, aka all those WoW gold sites, getting an account banned for some gold trades = 30 bucks to by a new cd key when they make hundreds $ in sales they just figure a cd key into the sales costs, so its nothing for them. Many Hack SC2 accoutns get nice ranks then sell the account for more then the cost of the cd key to replace a new account to hack, so getting banned is nothing for a serious cheater its figured into the cost of their business model, they usually have hudreds if not thousands of cd keys.
 
[citation][nom]jasonr49[/nom]Couldn't agree with this action more... cheaters ultimately ruin it for everyone.Maybe they should allow a "cheating server"?[/citation]

I actually watched someone Aimbot on a Modded (hacked) server in MW2.
 
I never understood the reasoning of cheating/hacks/exploiting in online gameplay. If you are seriously that worried about your stats why not just try to become a better player? And if its not just to falsely gain bragging rights, then why?

If your going to cheat you might as well not be playing the game at all anyways because it totally undermines the whole point.

Let the BanHammer fall Blizzard!
