1 - Sigh
I play games (PC and console) to have fun and enjoy the game.
These losers (you know who you are) that just want to get the greatest stats possible in an off handed way need to get a LIFE.
For example the guy on the top of the ps3 SF4 battle point rankings is a ragequitter, he got outed on SRK. ANy game he is about to lose..pfft quits. This sad nerd is top ranked in BP's.
Do you think he beats off to this?

1.1 - I hate quitters
I never quit no matter how bad Im losing. I play to have fun. Thats why I stopped playing Madden online. People quit if they start losing the game or are getting ready to lose. Great connection throughout the game then all of a sudden...................you have lost connection with player.

People think i cheat in Warhawk all the time. The only way they can defend against me is to constantly attack me with four Warhawks. I mean, if i die against missile turrets... then how am i cheating?
Seriously, it's not my fault if they cant hit me and im loaded with pickups to protect me from dying, chaff and invisibility. Sometimes a wrench if im lucky to get one.

As far as I know, there are only a few ways to cheat:
- Rage Quitters: I think a solution to rage quitters is award the party that is ahead the win if it detects a lost connection.
- Lag switch: Solution is dedicated servers
- Rapid fire: This is easy to detect with in-game algorithms
Are there any other ways to cheat, other than playing a game in a different way than it is intended to up the stats and perhaps exploiting certain glitches?

1.4 - I used to love cheating.
I discovered an exploit in Tribes 2 back in they day on PC. I quickly began spending more time scripting and exploring the possibilities of the exploit rather than play the game. I feel like less of a loser because I discovered it myself, and I programmed (or scripted in this case) my own cheat.
Later they fixed the exploit, and I was happy. It was time to start enjoying the game again. Even though it was fun to do all that scripting and have a real useful purpose for it.

I also "accidentally" shoot a teammate when he's being chased by a tank. You gotta admit it's hilarious. I usually use the sniper rifle since i can easily do headshots with ease. I say "i panicked" when i "missed" and incapacitate someone. True story.

3 - LOL software lover, true, people quit in Madden a lot!
One time I was playing against this guy and he was beating me, then I made a comeback, but then he scored on me and I only had once chance to score a touchdown. I did a Hail Marry and I scored on him, immediately after that he quit.

It was probably me I've played madden online once and that happened to me! Like 7sec left I pick a great pass defense then I get hailed on! I didn't quit I kicked my 360! I used to quit sometimes when playing Gears 2. It was sad between the lag and cheaters. I can't stand cheaters I always hated the mod controllers. How bad at games do you have to be to cheat.

Ironic I see this article now, because I just got accused of cheating on Call of Duty 4 the other day, and the guy even filed a complaint on my gamertag. The funny thing is he won't even tell me what I did. Guess he's just butthurt.
On subject, I have run into the people glitching under the map in the early days of CoDWaW. Definitely a pain to see people stooping to those levels. Personally, I'll never understand why people do it, but I guess it's just because I take a lot of pride in proving my abilities through fair play. Winning, fairly or not, is everything to some people.
Plus, it's a lot more satisfying to ruin somebody's day by owning them fairly, haha. :)

6.1 - Halo , COD & Gears are Games that are affected by the Rapid Fire Mod Controller
You can't use the Mod controller on games like Killzone and COD because the games are not made for Noobs.
You can't empty a whole clip on someone in Killzone or Socom unless you're really close. You have to shoot in burst because of the recoil and there is no auto aim.
Noob games like Halo, Gears and COD make it easy for you so a Rapid Fire Mod controllers only helps the noobs cheat against other noobs more. LOL.
So no matter how you look at it those games will always be popular because they made it easier to play and in the process creating a whole new generation of Noob gamers that will say Killzone and Socom sucks because They've become so used to auto aim, they are either to lazy to adjust or they just suck.
If train your Brain by playing games that require good eye hand coordination you will never go back to games that have auto aim or that are so slow like Gears. Then again there are those who just lack the skill to play games that actually require skills
What really sad is 90 % of these guys don't even realize that they are playing a game with auto aim and just assume games like Killzone controls suck.

You will be fine. It takes multiple complaints in a very short period before MS takes action. Otherwise everyone would be temporairly banned at least a few times.

Its a good article but the console format is still pretty safe for an online player. The PC not only has all of the cheats and game glitches mentioned above but you also have hackers breaking apart these games and then passing on these files forother players to easily alter the game to give them an unfair advantage. As a PC gamer for many years I still prefer to play online on XBOX Live or PSN because I know the chances are if someone does get the better of me they are more likely to be doing it through their own skill and knowledge of the game and not cheating.

I know this kind of exploitation of the controllers and game system sucks. But this exploitation actually generates profits. People bought the first xbox to specifically mod the console ex. Play playstation 1,2 games, dreamcast, and gamecube games from an internal harddrive mapped to the xbox controller.

11 - mouse and keyboard?
Another way of cheating...
I think anybody that uses a mouse and keyboard in a console game is also cheating. This is an area that is going to grow and grow in my opinion. A lot of PC gamers refuse to play consoles because of the controller aspect of the game and will therefore happily play with a K&M adapter.
If you can't win (or even play) without an unfair advantage then what's the point? You are not winning anything if you have to cheat and in the process you are ruining it for everyone else. So actually nobody wins. i think cheaters just lack the common sense that other people take for granted.
