360 Rapid Fire Control Mods = TONS OF CHEATERS ON XBOX LIVE

[GrandAmChandler]

I am quite frustrated because recently there has been a ton of cheaters on XBOX Live with modded controllers for rapid fire mode. The can be purchased at numerous sites and on eBay. This stuff is unreal, and very unfair.

Activision had a patch go out for CoD: World at War, but these people still found a way around the patch and are riding the leaderboards to the top. Anyone else seen this recently? CoD4? Halo 3? CoD:WoW? Other Games?

i just grilled him on it.

"Any Form of Hardware or Software modification that gives 1 player an advantage over another is considered cheating. It is an exploitation of the game to gain the advantage.

So yes, you are infact, a hacking cheater.

Im sorry, anyone that cheats at a game does it because they arent any good at it."

[MrSparkle]

cheating in an online game!? I refuse to believe it. *loads wallhacks and aimbots before playing cs* Seriously though multiplayer gaming has always been plagued by cheating just ask the 9000th guy you see rockin that godly plate of the whale .

There's a wee problem with folks using macros and turbo settings on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix online. It sucks, but there's not much you can do...

It's almost as bad as people who disconnect to avoid a loss.

Whenever I see someone with it or someone admits to me that they have one, I file a bunch of complaints, but we know how much those do.

Bill Gates, curb stomp some bitches!

Agreed. I hate these damn controllers and you can tell right away when someone is using one.

[Ponyone]

Never actually seen someone use it (suspected some.. I mean some of these people on Halo 3 or Gears of War 2 are a little quick on the trigger) but I was accused one time of using one on Halo 3.

I hate cheaters.

Reminds me of this one time I used to go to this lazer tag place, and I swear to god there was this father with his son (father had to be in his late 30's - mid 40's and the son about 13) and the father was putting tape over their sensors. The guy was cheating at lazer tag. Why? Who the hell knows.

Exactly. I used to play in online chess contests where you could win cash and people would always be using computer chess programs to tell them what to do. It was usually easy to tell because a computer doesn't play like a human. It was incredibly annoying anytime they'd win.

I've never experienced a game where people have used autofire or whatever to cheat but, then, I don't play online deathamatches much, I prefer co-op, etc. I used to be really into Team Fortress 2 but stopped playing that when people started using glitches to cheat; building turrets in mid-air above the opponents base, etc. That really pissed me off and I lost interest in the game shortly after because the game had lost any sense of balance... cheating was how people won.

Out of curiosity though, are the modded controllers any different from third party controllers, such as this Hori one:



It seems to have tri-speed autofire/turbofire for A/B/X/Y, I'd imagine the triggers have autofire as well. I seen a few ebay auctions for modded controllers but I thought it was just ebay sellers ripping people off.

I've hated online cheaters since Halo 2. Modded controllers are retarded. Like I can't tell that you just shot me 8 times with one button press.

[Leo_A]

If they're using store purchased controllers with autofire like that picture above, I don't understand how its cheating. Though I'd consider it poor sportsmanship to use it to gain an advantage.

Its no more cheating than using a arcade stick or a steering wheel is when others are using standard gamepads.

Do you have an example of a macro controller for 360? I've never seen one, yet I hear people claim macro controller use all the time on STHD.

btw...needing macro for STHD is beyond fucking weak. They simplified the command input for all the characters!

[s1lence]

The Hori and Madcatz turbo controllers do not have a turbo on the trigger buttons. I believe one of them has it on the bumpers bot not on the trigger.

Its just the evolution of in game cheating, just like the various glitches and cheats that were exploited in Halo 2 on the xbox 1.

Meh, this is one of the many reasons I manly play online games that are no longer popular. Who is going to cheat at PDZ?

Actually, I admit that I play on PS3. Problems with turbo use are more common than macros, but macro use is still an issue.

My Hori fighting stick 3 has a turbo function built right into it, and it's a pretty common stick(though of course, only sissies use it). As for the 360, look at Alxbly's post above for a picture of one. Then of course there are converter boxes that let you use any controller you want on your Xbox, or even a keyboard if that's your thing. Here's the link. They say that some third party controllers don't go, but I've seen one in action using a PC arcade stick with macro function built in, and it works fine... The cheating scum.

Also, don't disregard custom sticks with macro functions and controller mods; they're out there(not as many as losing people would like, but more than I personally care for)

Next time you play a marathon session of HDR, watch for fools pulling off a second sonic boom less than a second after firing off the first one, instant rolls for dictator, honda and blanka, and Balrog traversing the entire goddamn screen with rapid fire buffalo headbutts: no charge time required. It's not skill or timing, it's not buffering or 'storing': it's a jackass with illicit equipment. As much as I hate dropping matches, the instant I see stuff that Alex and Daigo can't do performed by someone with a user name like "W33dCaptain420", I pull out.

[Poofta!]

evolve or die. im sure the japanese samurai considered guns cheating too. lol. enginuity will get you ahead, not catering to the lowest common denominator.

djbeatmongrel, lemme throw in on that.

for the record: i dont cheat. but then again i dont whine nor do i play shooters on xbox.

Where can these converter boxes for the Xbox 360 be bought?? Despite rampant bitching about the 360's D-pad I've never seen such a thing mentioned. I assume these things are fairly new? I would LOVE to use a Sega Saturn pad on my 360, even if only for SF2HDR.

You linked to a post on maxconsole but it seems to be a dead link.

[G-Boobie]

My bad. Heres' that link again.

Naughty!
