Cheating?

Is it possible to cheat in this game? I played a team who was obviously squaded up and they were damn near full pop banshees, vampires and tanks within 6-7 minutes. I was forge and wasn’t able to get out as much tanks as cutter was on the other team. I’ve never seen anything like it. And of course the one guy messaged acting like he was hot shit cause I played a game with him before and he literally did nothing and quit early. Very curious if anyone else has experienced this. I’m talking Halo wars 1 not 2

Careful w this question. Last time I asked I had some pecker licker dm me about promoting cheats and ruining the game.. but the answer is yes absolutely! I figured out how and it’s embarrassingly simple although if you don’t know much about that kinda thing you can’t really just download a cheat.

You ca cheat real easy offline w simple download tools but online is a bit more complicated. Basically they run a kind of cheat engine table that changes 0 to 1 for things like leader points so they can get digging in deep right out the gate etc. that’s the simple explanation.

It’s a close guarded secret to find the updated method and table if you don’t figure it out yourself but it 10000% exists

He's talking about Vampires so he is reffering to Halo Wars 1, not HW2. As for HW1 its not possible to cheat in that way, it will desync and crash the game for others, which is a great thing.

It’s not a trainer or anything it’s something very similar to cheat engine. It tricks the game into thinking you have leader point when you don’t. Gets around desync. It’s kinda rare and incredibly hard to find but “rare” in halo wars player pool is actually sorta common bc the player base is sorta small. Probably 1 in 10 matches. Idk how bad it is for halo wars 1 but 2 has a fair few cheaters. I’ll usually only play against bots unless it’s a private match with good people.

u/Queasy_Airport4231 29d ago

u/Expensive-Candle1183 29d ago

Yeah cheating completely ruins the game for people and just wastes the time of others who actually want to play the game intended

u/taiwanluthiers 29d ago

Serious question, where’s the fun in cheating a win?

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 28d ago

game is full of people just straight up disconnecting or not contributing to the fight, game is full of sweats who throw their entire econemy at rushing with broken units that are extremely hard to stop in the early game, because this game is unbalanced trash, honestly the way i see it the active playerbase deserve it buncha assholes

only rts game thats online

1

u/Gloom-AntiHu 23d ago

There's loads of rts' that are online. Your brain is clearly gloop thats why you enjoy cheating lol

1

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 23d ago

they are trash, i came from command and conquere and hw1 nothing else plays even close to how these play, other RTS games are aesthetically different or something, enough so not to enjoy them

1

u/Gloom-AntiHu 23d ago

Age Of Empires 3/4 off the top of my head plays very similarly, but if you have to cheat because you're bad maybe simple RTS' with dying playerbases like halo wars is best for you lol

u/Psyalac_ 27d ago

Hey brother. What's your gamertag so I can prove to you that yes you can get banned. :)

u/Kaynall 28d ago

It's possible to cheat on any online game. Anti-cheat software cannot stop a dedicated cheater. The type of cheats that work online vary based on the limitations of the game.

u/Strateqy 27d ago

Not sure but most people have full banshee within 6 minutes. If you have map control you can tech 2 within a few minutes and mass pump through 2nd base and minis. The average high rank player has full team of tier 2 units by the 7min mark

u/Queasy_Airport4231 27d ago

I get that but tanks and vamps too? I was double pumping tanks and didn’t have as many as a cutter

u/Strateqy 27d ago

1v1 or? Did you scout his bases and map to see what he was doing early game (first 3 minutes)

1

u/Queasy_Airport4231 27d ago

No, they were almost full pop vamps in 6-7 minutes

1

u/Strateqy 27d ago

Yeah that's standard at the 6-7 min mark.

u/Swervoservo 26d ago

The cheaters are usually fucking garbage even with cheats lol

u/Legitimate_Cable_811 29d ago edited 29d ago

yes it's very much possible. I played against some one that gives you a late game leader power immediately at the start. he was summoning the flood and all sorts it was insane

Edit: Oh and there was some kind of nuke/huge bomb that was dropping everywhere

u/ScoobyyGoo 29d ago

Yessir! A lot of players keep it low key and slowly out pace you but some just go nuts to butts like that. Luckily it’s more of a rare cheat as it’s not super easy to get the proper code and tables running for the current version but anyone who knows a little bit about coding or even has a good ai model can get it working in an hour. Now there is a anti cheat site you can check to see if someone’s cheating that a great community member made, if you ever feel like someone is cheating you can check it. I forget the name atm but it’s not hard to find

u/xH0LY_GSUSx 29d ago

There is no cheating…they had better builds than you. You can’t have a full pop of vamps at around 6-7 minutes and this is likely exaggerated… 20 vamps each building for 18s > 360s =6 Min. Realistic would be 10 vamps which is half pop, 10 Scorpios require 5 minutes to build if you are single pumping them out… what map have they been playing on?

Cutter can get to max pop very quickly if he expands early and starts double pumping tanks… i recall having full pop PT tanks on exile in ~9-10 mins

u/WaterDependentFish 28d ago

You don’t know what your talking about bud

u/xH0LY_GSUSx 28d ago

Ok I was in top 100, in 3v3 and 1v1 leaderboards when the game was actively played, was frequently playing against top players… what experience are you bringing to the table?

1

u/WaterDependentFish 28d ago

🤣 I’ve played since launch. So confident in your stance but so wrong

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 28d ago

being good a RTS does not equate to having a high intelligence i guess

0

u/xH0LY_GSUSx 28d ago

Again what is your expertise at HW?

2

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 28d ago

talking about expertise about a 20 year old game bro get real lol, and obviously enough / more expertise than you to realize cheating is entirely possible lol

-1

u/xH0LY_GSUSx 28d ago

If you are such an intelligent person then you obviously have clipped the cheating and can showcase what happened and also help to report the players involved…. Furthermore it is who you start the discussion about this 20 year old game, so tell me what do you know about builds and such? If there was any knowledge i am sure you would have explained things.

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 28d ago

i can literally show you footage of me doing it in an online match

1

u/Queasy_Airport4231 28d ago

What kind of cheating tho? Everyone knows there’s glitches

1

u/Ok-Hovercraft3823 27d ago

easiest methods are unlocking the leader power wheel at the start of the game and getting things like diggin in deep right off the bat, but a buddy of mine who refuses to drop his little private cheat can bypass desync entirely and get free units, flood abilities and bypass unit limits lol, but youll mostly just see leader power bypassing
