The Game is Not Balanced For Invincible Buildings

I’ve followed the blog Modern Warfail 2 since a similarly-named product came to market.  It’s best described as “There is no reason one blog dedicated to the failings of one game on one platform should be so wildly entertaining”.

In the eight years since its release, Warcraft III has never truly endured a gauntlet of game-breaking hilarity  But as long as we’re in the “final stretch” leading to Starcraft II, why not start now?

Shortly before dealing with the latest crash hack, Blizzard responded to “spambots that say ‘meow’” by “banning people who say ‘meow’”.  The week after?  The legendary “buildover farm hack” has company.

The first hack allows towers to fire while constructing.  In addition, cancelling a structure allows it to stand and fight for several seconds while your worker moves on to something better.  And should you be so bad that you lose with this hack, you have the ability to create untargetable buildings with no hit points.  Best summed as “Highperching for Pussies”, these glorified doodads cannot be killed, so enjoy your seven-hour race to see whose internet craps out first.

The second?  (Note: These pictures are NOT Kodos_Forsaken from the Battle.net forums, only continuing proof he is the most hated man on Battle.net.)

It lets players choose “Neutral (Passive)” as their playable race.  Yes, the game grants you twelve sheep on your quest to taking over the world. Really, what the hell is there to say? Maybe it’s time to start that Warfail III blog.

    i’m wondering if the other team even knew what was going on for the second hack. Yellow never told them it really, he was just like “GUYS, OMG”

    The joys of Warcraft III: Where “GUYS OMG” doesn’t set off flags to, you know, SCOUT.

    What I don’t understand is how the people who programmed this can fail so badly. I mean, I know games are complex pieces of software, but seriously, if you get the logic right at a low enough level then nothing a player does with his client should cause an illegal gamestate for all players.

    seeing race “UNKNOWN” would have also provoked me to scout.
