The Cheaters make me SICK!

[Tomas]

cheating on multiplayer games sure SUCK!  Those who do it should burn... they destroy the games

Well, that might be the essence of your problem! ADSL players are allways sitting ducks. Get broadband!

real broadband is sadly not avaliable in most of the world..
most people have to settle with slower cable lines or adsl  :-(

Some areas you even have to settle with dialup

thanx for all posts , i must say that i normally get up with the 3best even if i have 200+ in ping and playing on my amiga.

in quake 1 blitzquake i get 40fps in 800x600 on my setup (a1200)

in quake 2 i get 26 fps in 640x480.

i suck in quake 1 really and i find quake 2 easier to win a fight, problem is to find an active server where my ping is low.

and yes i have broadband and more than most normal users so my guess is they cheat (seems to use auto aim or simmilar) + the rest is like 200 pings in front of me , the servers i used untill now has very constant kick ratio due to its supposed to be an Amiga only clan (any hw allowed)

anyway how to spot a cheater? , one that doesnt die even if you launch 2 missiles straight in his head and then he kills you, a cheater is one that runs in lava and jumps 2 times as high as any of the other players and ofcourse most of all one that always has good weapons!.

we doesnt host the server so i cant check if its allowed, but i will tell the lads

thanx .

At least in quake1 player can easily take two direct rocket hits (have some armor and health).

a cheater is one that runs in lava

Lava doesn't kill instantly, and the player might have pentagram of protection. Good players know how to get out of lava, too (usually by rocketjumping). If he runs in the lava all the time, then this sounds suspicious.

and jumps 2 times as high as any of the other players

That's called rocketjumping. Face down, jump and fire a rocket to ground. The explosion will make the player jump much higher than normally, gaining access to places you normally can't reach or giving a shortcut. Rocketjumping is not easy at first (esp. since you get damage from the explosion yourself). I trained by playing singleplayer quake1 in god mode.

and ofcourse most of all one that always has good weapons!

Good players don't die often -> they have good weapons most of the time.
