These are titles that have been ruined by too many cheaters. If you play - or plan to play - any of the games on this list, be warned. While some games are relatively free of cheaters, others are so inundated with hackers that you will be lucky to go a single multiplayer session without encountering at least one (or 20) cheaters. These can include wallhacks that provide x-ray vision, aimbots that automatically hone in on enemy skulls, and speed hacks that turn players into Sonic the Hedgehog. Instead of using cheats to pummel AI opponents in Warcraft 3, gamers now use them to gain unfair advantages against their fellow opponents. However, with the advent of multiplayer titles where gamers compete against opponents for glory - and sometimes for fame and prizes - cheating in video games has taken on a whole new, malicious meaning. If you were tired of going through the same levels in Goldeneye 007, you could turn on some cheats to unlock all weapons, give yourself unlimited ammo, and transform James Bond into a bobbleheaded nightmare with Donkey Kong arms. There’s no skins, no paid graffiti, no crates or keys, just pure CS fun. Teams from around the world demonstrate their abilities and strategies in local, regional, and international tournaments streamed to millions of viewers across the globe. It’s essentially a remake/remaster of the original game, with graphical enhancements, improved sounds, and other changes. Through each of its iterations 1.6, Source, and Global Offensive Counter-Strike has been the de facto benchmark of a player’s first person shooter skill. The combination of STEAM players from CS1.6 with CS:S merely takes up 10 of CS:GO. Counter-Strike: Source is probably the best Counter-Strike game, in my opinion. The latest installment to the Counter-Strike franchise maintains a healthy, ever-intensifying competitive scene alongside a growing casual playerbase. According to the official game and player statistics from STEAM, the number of players for Counter-Strike: Source has dropped drastically while the latest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the 2nd most played STEAM game after Dota 2.
In the early days of gaming, cheats were harmless fun that spiced up a game. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a game created by Valve Corporation and released on August 21st, 2012 as a successor to previous games in the series dating back to 1999.
