Wi-Fi: Cheaters

Have you ever entered a match, and your opponent builds an infantry, then they move it, move it again, move it again, get to your base, capture it, all in one turn before you even get to make a move (no, this is not Caulder's CO power)? This is called hacking. On AWN I see a lot of you posting threads like cheatz help plzzzzz, and I see you post the exact same problem. I'll tell you how it's done. I want to let you know that I DO NOT encourage this kind of play at all, and if you have to cheat to win, I recommend going to the Tactics Room and asking Lin for some advice. 

It's done with a device called the Action Replay designed by Datel. The Action Replay is a card (much like a standard DS or DS Lite game) that comes loaded with tons of cheats for almost any DS game. Advance Wars happens to be one of them. There are cheats like Press L to Repair All Units, Max Funds, Unlock All CO's and Press Y to Move Again. These are only a few of them, plus players can design their own cheats and add them to the AR via their computer and using the Action Replay software.

Why use the AR? Again, it's useful for many games, when you're not playing online, like Pokemon, you can gain almost one level per kill, but I'm not here to talk about animals. The AR can also make gameplay simply more fun while granting players better in-game benefits. 

I'm going to tell you the truth. I used the AR in the AWDoR Campaign in the level were you fight on the Owl's Wings. Let's face it - that level is impossible! There's what? three waves of enemies, and they improve every time and you don't get repairs or anything? I'm sorry, but that's just way too hard. And to add to it, I didn't want to think that much at 2AM. 

And if you're thinking OMG that guyz a cheater im neverr gonna play him online cuz hes gonna cheat and kill me and meh record is gonna be bad well then I'll tell you that A) you don't have a record in DoR and B) I lost my Action Replay. Yeah I miss it. I also lost Pokemon. But AWDoR? NEVER! I will never lost that game, so you will see me on the AWN under the name Captain Brenner. Thanks for reading, and I think next I'll examine a map.
