I was expecting hardened cheaters and anti-cheaters to enter this conversation and here they are, albeit explanations for their beliefs are not entirely explained. This is my thoughts on the two camps:

Cheaters vs. Anti-Cheaters, who will win? Well the answer is EA Games. EA couldn't be happier for cheat developers and equally glad for the strength of anti-cheaters.

Does cheating ruin a game, or help a game? Well, it can be argued both ways obviously, but game companies knows cheating helps a game's longevity, that's why in almost every game there are eastereggs and cheat codes already encoded, so that when a game becomes unbearably boring, sales slump and cheat codes are released to the consumer. It is their plan.

Cheat developers, and cheat makers, are merely helping EA Games to give Allied Assault another lease of life, to keep the ordinary player interested. Many people from anti-cheat may refuse to admit to this, but it's a fact.

Cheat-haters are a by-product of cheaters, and cheat-haters in turn keep cheat developers and makers alive, because without someone to fight against will there be a drive for further development? MOHAA cheat developers love the game as much, if not more, than anyone else. That's why the most notorious cheats made by them are not, and hopefully will never be in the public domain. And I think people should believe them if they say something that will render this game obsolete has been developed (because, frankly, people have said many of what these programmers produced were impossible until they actually saw it with their own eyes).

So, it is essential for MOHAA to have both sides of the community, and arguments between the two groups will only help the game, EA Games couldn't be happier - this is free publicity for them. So Cheats and Anti-Cheats don't burst a blood vessel whilst doing it - You're in the game.

A lot less people cheat then most people think.

When I go into a newbie server I get accused of cheating all the time simply because of the fact that I have been playing this game for close to a year now and I can kill the majority of them easily.

In all the time I have been playing, I have come across about 5 cheaters for sure and about 5 more that I wasn't too sure about.

I figure it this way, if there is no way to catch the worst of the cheats (Cham. skins, etc.) then why waste your time complaining about it. Help with an anti-cheat program or something that will help this game instead of whining and annoying everyone.

In the end, the cheaters will win because anti-cheat programs really only run server-side. If it were to run client-side the cheater would have to d/l the program too and the chances of that happening are slim. The only thing that could actually stop cheaters is sv_pure but even that could probably be bypassed.
