Who said cheating isn't a part of paintball? :(

[Mosfet]

I for one am definately gettin this one! WOOT!

[AclowN]

Cheaters live longer..... lets examine this statement...

by rules of paintball.... what does it mean if you are hit with a paintball, the paintball breaks and causes a quarter mark or bigger?
does it say "if you can wipe the hit off without being seen by a ref you are still in play"

no, it does not say that, it says you are ELIMINATED from the game... so are you in essence, a "live" player? no... you are an eliminated player that chose to play on despite the fact you are already technically out of play according to the rules of the game.... hence.... cheaters dont live longer, they just keep playing cause they can't handle the mental strain of losing, cheaters in this game are truly weak people. how can these weaklings feel good after a "win" is what i dont understand... but each finds their own joy in what they do, so if you have to cheat to be as good as others, all the power to ya cause your pathetic.

i read that stuff about "cheat meter" on the game, this turns my stomach.... not only is it frowned on, its now apparently blatantly encouraged on even the GAMES of this....
anyone that has that boardgame paintcheck, if you get hit is there a way to roll and possibly wipe without being seen?

things like this really give paintball alot of credibility dont you think? no wonder so many dont consider it a real SPORT, when cheating is just part of the game... and not something truly bad apparently.

when i 1st read this i got all giggley and ****......PB ON THE BOX YES!!!!!

It is indeed unfortunate that cheating has become part of the game. I still outright refuse to lower myself to that level. Then again as an old fart paintball wise, I don't have much interest in Tournament play.

I wonder if they computer cheats in the game. Perhaps it could be used for a good lesson. How damn fustrating it is to have somone cheat against you.

It's become a part of the game, and continues to remain a part of the game because of people who can't find it inthemselves to take a loss. The Pro's have a huge influence, but as long as there is someone lower on the ladder than yourself, there will always be someone influenced by you.
Pro's influence a huge number, and the cheater on the rec field, influences those just started in the game, who may in turn become a pro himself.

I admit I've wiped once or twice.
but its stupid, and just plain wrong.
so I don't do it anymore.
I want to have people look up to me for how I play, not what I win.



so that said, I'm not even going to tough the cheat stuff in the xbox game.
I'll still get the game tho!!!!
and a wifi bridge....
and check out that free service that works just like XBOX live but happens to be FREE!!!

Hrm...that's an idea. It'd be interesting to do a focus test on players who know they were cheated by the computer or another live player. Maybe a successful player who cheats is denoted by an exclamation point above their bunker. Although the NPC ref might not catch it, the player will know when they've been cheated on and by whom. I'd like to see the kind of reaction they'd get.

Easy level = Computer plays fair
Medium difficulty = Computer wipes effectively.
Hard difficulty = Computer also shoots from dead box.
Super Tourny Mode = Computer uses refs affiliated with their team, and refs wipe down players.
Impossible Mode = SP sues you and takes electros away - you now have to throw paint. Opponents also use aim-bot and wall hack.

Which brings up a question. Does the Smart PArts "patent" cover electronic triggers to the point of "virtual" paintball guns? Will they be able to sue, say, Sony (PS) for infringement of their electronic triggers?

:rofl:

I think the virtual markers in the game are safe....
The problem is the electronic switches in the XBOX controller thats firing those virtual markers.
We'll have to use Mechanical Controllers...

Do you guys know when this game is to come out?
And I wonder if the developers understand all the ways to cheats, not just wiping but bunker rub, diving, sliding. I have seen guys use windex on lenses and when he get hit there it spots and looks like spray. Dirty trick I know but how is the refs supposed to stop it.
Oh yeah what about those guys that wear 2-6 shirts under their jerseys.
Will we see that in the sequel.

Mid November is what I found

[Carbon]

if anything they are probably going make "wipe mode" a selectable option.

...no wonder so many dont consider it a real SPORT, when cheating is just part of the game...

so do people not consider basketball as a sport because people cheat? same with the olympics, if someone uses drugs who runs the 100m, is it not a sport anymore? every game has cheating in it. just because it happens in pb doesnt make ppl think it isnt a sport. just as in any other sport, there is a rule set. if a rule is broken, the player suffers the consiquences. there will always be people who try to cheat and get away with it, and thats just a part of sports as much as the physical aspect is. its not going to change.

anywho this game looks pretty cool, i'll most likely be picking this one up. but you can count on the sales being very low what with the release date being 2 days after halo 2's. VERY bad idea, this title will be completely overlooked.

If its going to be something like this im going to have to break every copy i find...

I hate to say this, but that's a poor wipe. Residue everywhere. I'd call him on it, personally.
