Re: Do you use cheats?

I use "black sheep wall" a lot when testing maps, I need to see how the computers are handling the map, because they are often very good at finding basic problems due to the fact that they are absolute retards.

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

sometimes i use "the gathering" and destroyed my opponent's entire base using broodlings!!!!

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

never

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

I only use black sheep wall and that one upgrades cheat... makes for a better zergling rush.

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

I only use cheats when I set myself up in situations, and then usually only black sheep wall and show me the money. I like to do things like see if I can beat 7 allied CPU zerg players. ;D

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

I never cheat at all when playing through campaign mode the first time, but after that I enjoy fiddiling about, and seeing other ways I can mess around.

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

just like many people, i think i pretty much use black sheep wall everytime i play campaign or against comp, because i like to see what's going on across the whole map

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

its been a while since i paly sc but i would only use blakc sheep wall really, mainly cuse i forgot what hte rest of them were but if i felt like screwing around id like to see how many nukes i can drop at once or stuff like that

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

Yeah, i like using cheats to have fun too. Experiment with crazy stuff like I used mind control and got all 3 races and built entire army of everything. Then attacked and won! .. and then realized I wasted a lot of time because it wasn't as cool as I thought it'd be

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

I did use them sometimes, really rarely... still rarely do... only when I was playing the Campaign just now, specifically Terran 10 of the Original Campaign, trying to get a feel for the storyline again in anticipation of StarCraft 2, I waited too long and there wasn't a thing I could do anymore to win, and I got so frustrated I went Ophelia and There is no cow level... I did it again in that one Zerg level where you're attacking a higher grounded Terran camp that's just full of Siege Tanks deployed in Siege Mode and backed up by Bunkers, and I went all ground and all out of resources to change it, and I didn't feel like trying again to change my strategy to more air attacks... so I did it again. But these are levels I finished already, without cheating, so I don't feel as bad about it anymore... 'sides, I mainly did it for the storyline anyway. Maybe when I'm done with that, I'll do them again just for completeness. Honest completeness, that is.

 

Re: Do you use cheats?

You're right, of course... actually, this is also what I did another time, but it was with a map I already won, because in this case I specifically wanted to see what they said at the end. Didn't think of it at that time though... didn't even think of it until now, so thanks for the advice!

 

I use cheats like Neon, for map making. When your looking for a trigger that is broken, but you don't know when, you don't have time to watch your base. So they help alot. It also helps simply to see if everything works properly, so you can play another game while keeping an eye on things.

 

Hahahaha I agree with that.

 

I really only use cheats when I'm either bored of a CPU practice match, or (after having done the level) to win a campaign mission i hate.

 

There are two instances where I allow myself to use cheats in any game, and Starcraft is no exception.

1 - Mapmaking - As many other members have noted, using cheats can be very helpful to perfect your map. Not to mention, after playing the scenario fifty bazillion times, it can get kind of annoying to test out without cheats. However, when all is said and done, I need to make sure the map is possible without cheats.

2 - After Victory - In the single player mode, I allow myself to cheat only when I have already beaten the mission legitimately. No matter how frustrating the map is, I don't cheat until I beat it. Of course, after I have beaten a mission it is pretty fun to mass nukes or play with no care by cheating.

 

I never cheat and I never set the difficulty below average because if I did either of that, the game wouldn't be fun but a waste of time It's also more rewarding when you beat a hard part of the game.

 

I rarely use cheats, except the radio free zerg one, which shouldn't even be considered a cheat, it just plays a song.

Oh and there are a lot more cheats then there are on that list.

 

I only cheat when I am testing something, or goofing off against a bunch of computers. I rarely use cheats other than black sheep wall, though.

Actually, now that I think about it, because I have had to reinstall SC on several occasions, I actually did cheat to quickly unlock all the campaign levels again.

 

thats all I really do, if I don't want to play all the way through the game.
