How to deal with game cheaters

[Rasbelin]

In-game cheaters have always been a problem, but one large LAN party seems to have found a good solution for how to deal with those pesky cheaters.

I wouldn't want to be the cheater in that video.

I've seen that before, a perfect example of the jack-asses who play counter strike. (And I'm not refering to the cheater)

Sometimes I wish I could do that to a few cheaters I meet

WTF ! Were they playing for money, or some kind of prize ? Sure, noone likes a cheater, but if its just a game, then the punishment could be found a little harsh, perhaps. Having said that, there's a few guys I know that deserve this treatment...

Well, I could maybe finally reveal that it was a setup. No one was actually thrown out.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me

I think it would have to be staged. I mean, even for counter-strike players, that's a little much.

All it took was someone yelling "WTF we have a cheater here" and they run over and throw him on the curb....

Actually, no. It sounds like a typical thing to expect from the people who play that game.

There was big LAN party and someone yells "Hey WTF!! I think we have a cheater here" then the camera looks around and zooms to the action, where a bunch of guys come over, unplug his computer, pick him up and then throw him out the door along with his computer - which hits the pavement and smashes to bits.

Well that's what happens when you live in America

/me will have to make an exception for this file.

Skanky,

it's worth seeing.

Lol, cheats tend to make it harder to enjoy MP.......they deserve whatever punishment they get.

iirc there was a story similar to this that happened at a big cpl lan. i don't remember it all but i think it basically went like this - supposedly people thought a player who was quite good was a cheater due to online rumors and when he showed up at the lan they decided to get back at him. the accused cheater left his computer unattened over the course of the lan to later come back and find it totally trashed. i don't even think there was any hard proof against him. even if he was a cheater it's just a ****ing game! cpl lans are full of stories like this lately, theft seems like it happens a lot if not random destruction like this.

I think that would be obvious to most people.

Otherwise that guy would be really pissed off. "I'm gonna sue 'ur asses man".
