I can't say I'm a technical expert, but my friend is. He works at a Korean On-line game company. Korea now has near 50% total population hooked on-line to internet via cheap cable network
, and the on-line multiplayer gaming community has grown huge, and with it, many instances of on-line cheaters. Most on-line gaming companies have sort of "special forces" with in their ranks to especially track out on-line cheat methods.
Of course, I don't know how HTC manages its gaming metabolism, nor does my friend know, but he says most of the times these sorts of on-line games are quite simular in theory. And, though layman like me couldn't understand a single technical WORD he was saying
, I did ask him if cheats were possible in these sorts of games, and he said theoretically, it's simple.
What I remeber what he said was the actions and inputs of one individual user is basically just simply interpreted via the server medium, and if the would-be cheater has enough knowledge to alter codes and stuff, all he has to do is change the way how things are interpreted... if it were in AH, he could 'change' his own plane armor into titanium
if he wished, by changing the way the attacker's 'shoot' command is put through the server and reaches the cheater's end to give results as 'damage'.
Of course, this wouldn't be as easy as it sounds.. like just breaking and dismantling AH codes won't give you knowledge enough to actually 'mold' itto one's own will.. but I'd say IF there IS a dedicated hacker freak who has interest in AH, cheating will be seen, and quite often, unless security measures are heightened.
As good as digital communities are, they are equally as bad
I truly wish no hacker freak ever lays his hands on AH.
