my wnet over my freinds house over the summer and i found out he had a map hack, and the few games before i went over his house i noticed that he knew where i was when he didnt scout. The funny thing is we were equally matched before he had the hack, and after. He deleted it and is now clean, and hes getting better too, he beats me 50% of the time now.

Edit: to answer your question, i dont know why people hack, they think it makes them better when it really doesnt it just gives them cheap tips and they dont get better using them.

I used to hack, but not maphacks, only lag defender, stay alive (good for obs) when a no-mercy man kill you in Phantom wink.gif and you're not the phantom, dl map status, colors, and sometimes kill own unit hack, in UMS, it's so fun to make bugs in maps biggrin.gif and in melee, if you're dead and your units die before he comes,lol, but now, i stopped ....

What type of hacking are you referring to? Pretty vague...

You know, the more you complain about them, the more you care.

I do kind of care but not so much now that I only play with friends or in tourneys like wgt (I sure as hell mention it enough XD)

Actually, I used to hack when I was in my major backstabbing phase. It's not anything of the things you guys said when I did it. It was for fun. I was a pretty good player when I used to play too. Anyway for me maphacking was just funny.

The definition of a good player here at staredit.net is pathetic... don't bother telling me you're a good player unless you have a rep to prove it. To be honest I'm probably going to leave here soon, this site was made for UMS (Yeah I realise that it really was but still =/ I don't think that this will change soon) and it's painfully obvious. Even some of the tough talking mods are pretty terrible XD (reffering to a doisser found on wgt by someone who shall remain nameless for the sake of sparing them the embarrassment). But back on topic... if you think map hacking is funny would you also think it was funny if someone broke the rules on purpose in rugby (or your favorite sport) every ****ing game. It used to be hard to find games without hackers and you're basically the little retard of the gaming community... even hacking in ums is dumb, it still ruins other peoples fun on most maps and don't think you're justified because they're not going to get a loss. There may have been a time long ago when people cared about records but now only hackers and comp stomps care, they don't even realise how worthless it is. No one cares how many wins you have for one major reason, if you were really so good you would be playing in tournies and getting high ranks. I guarentee no hacker has ever placed high in a pro tourny. I refer to what I said before. I would rather a close loss than an easy win anyday. The mere fact that starcraft stratagy can be found in "The Art of War" makes this a strong argument. If you hack you're basically taking out what actually makes the game fun, the unknown, the knowledge that you beat your opponent on level ground and the carful planning and scouting that went into that win/close game. If you're the type of person that thinks taking all that and more out of starcraft is still fun then chances are you're also the type of person who would choke on his or her own spit or take bets on things he or she had already seen before. Do me a favour and invite all your friends, if any and take bets on who's going to win in a movie you've already seen. At least it'll keep you busy for a while. One last thing, I'm almost positive some of the people here still hack, if I'm right this would prove one thing, hackers of games aren't a proud people.

EDIT: In short, hacking is a complete waste of time, and you're wasting other peoples time too. That earns you the dipsh!t award from me.

I think you missed the point... people can hack if they want to, just like people can throw all the peices on the chess board at the opponent. I'm not saying they're incapable, I'm saying they're W3 playing scum =D. (Don't worry, that last bit wasn't intended to be a valid argument or even logical)
