Hey, People Who Cheat In Videogames

I'd be just happy with the laser vision. Bee-spitting seems like one big can of worms of discomfort for the cats with laser vision.

I certainly wouldn't want to start spitting bees.

I hate Trolling cheaters. When they are cheating regularly, but not even trying to disguise it or hide it, cheating blatantly to piss everyone else off. Gunz for instance, had numerous jerks running around with external tools. Now, it wasn't too bad for the people making themselves live forever. They had to turn on death sometime, or get kicked for how obvious they weren't dying. As when you die, you can see through other people's view and see their stats, and whatnot.

But the real problem were the flying chainsaw sword wielders with machine gun rocket launchers. The chainsaw effect was them swinging their sword several times a second, in all directions, making a grinding noise. The rocket launcher cheat made them fire rockets as if it was coming out of the automatic rifle, with a string of explosions that if it doesn't kill the target, the sheer lag or processing of the rockets could crash the game or the target's computer. And It doesn't get any more blatant than that. Their main purpose was to enter a legitimate game, pull cheatjutsu, and start murdering people until they all left, or till the bickering players could vote the cheater off the map, which some tools could prevent as well to an extent.

With updates and now there being more Gunz moderators to deal appropriately with rulebreakers, cheating isn't as often, but you'll still bump into the naked chicks who hover above the ground firing a million explosions of death at their opponents like a vengeful Valkyrie, finally deciding she had enough of that bitch of a twin sister, and Freya could go sleep with that multi-legged horse.

Now also on the subject of cheating, I find that exploits within the game engine itself are fairly okay. If they are abused by a lot of people for unfairness, the more likely it will spur the programmers to fix it. If they are abused by a lot of people, and it enhances gameplay for all, then it will probably be honed, added to the game's list of features, and explained for beginners.

And the fact that people will stumble around to find ways to abuse the game engine is kind of a respectable course of action, when you can get a cool video of a guy in Modern Warfare 2 who, by careful use of a respawn perk in a certain area, will ascend almost magically up into the air onto an invisible roof to get a few sniper shots.

Who will then get shot down pretty quickly, because MWF's first person kill cam that gives away his position, as well as the fact that he's very, very visible in the sky, with no cover.
