Cheaters invade video games
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Tony Ray knows how cheating can ruin a good time online.
Two years ago, he was among video gamers who regularly conquered rivals in the three-dimensional combat game "Team Fortress."
Then something odd started happening.
Opposing teams acquired supernatural powers. They could see and shoot through walls. Their perfect aim just wasn't humanly possible.
The online world, Ray was discovering, has its share of cheats and scoundrels.
"Basically, it just destroys the integrity of the games," laments Ray, a 35-year-old self-employed Houston software developer.
While rogue players have plied Internet-based games for years, they can now be expected to annoy and rile not thousands but millions as the networking of game consoles moves video games online in a very big way.
There are hackers who write programs that give them perfect aim in shooting games. And then there are so-called player- and team-killers who hunt down and slay others then steal their virtual possessions.
Some ne'er-do-wells find loopholes to duplicate money or weaponry ad infinitum. Still other online rascals solicit emails to snare players' user names and passwords, which they use to access accounts and strip them of valuables.
Such practices have long been the ie of PC gamers.
And while consoles have yet to be impacted, industry leaders including Microsoft and Sony fear such cheats could ruin an entertainment form still in its infancy.
The revenue potential is huge for online gaming, which IDC analyst Schelley Olhava projects will reach some 10 million households by 2005.
Microsoft and Sony have just launched online gaming networks for their Xbox and PlayStation2 consoles and officials of the two companies say their consoles were designed from the hardware up to thwart cheating.
Broadband-only Xbox Live, which expects to offer 14 multiplayer games and have 100,000 subscribers by year's end, uses a secure network to keep out cheaters, said Cameron Ferroni. XBox product manager.
