Re: RE: How to cheat to win game of difficulty 130 & more (problem with it)

I wish the designers had included cheat codes, even if such games didn't give us credit. It would be a fun option if, on a game you are losing, you could suddenly up your weapons tech + 20. I don't think you should get MP for cheating, but it would add to the game playability. Actually, the cheat codes should be unlocked after you earn a certain MP (100,000?)

  Could it be that the designers implemented anti-cheating code? Actually makes 
  a lot of sense, since the Mac version allows online play versus others, and 
  someone who cheated their way up wouldn't be good.
