Forum:What is cheating

cheating to most people is doing or having somthing your not sopost to have at all or at your current level such as a weapon/item that is level 50 when your current leel is in the 20's to early 30's but at the same time the person who has it does not view it as cheating. now just like there are different types of dancing there are different types of cheating. early cheating consisted of editing the codding within the game it's self later it was pressing a sequence of buttons now a days called passwords the most popular example of this is the konami code(^,^,v,v,<,>,<,>,B,A) which in the contra series gave the players 30 lives. other games such as the GTA games had password codes that did stuff like give a gun or a car. then it moved on to cheats saved on a disc and other things(gameshark action replay and codebreaker). when newer game systems came out that didn't suport the cheat disc's cheaters had to yous third party cheat devises one the popular ones is willowtree# which is an open source program that can be edited by anyone that stumbles apon it the most common ones are CKY and XanderChaos although there are may more of them out there that have there own form(version) of willowtree#.

there are plenty of anti-cheat programs i'm not sure on the one gearbox used for the PS3 version of borderlands 2 but i can tell you the PS3 version has the save date encrypted so anyone that wants to mod a weapon cant at the moment unless you have a x-box 360.when the grim reaper pulls your number there is no way out 00:46, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
