What technologies do the Skylanders figurines use? NFC, Bluetooth, RFID, something homegrown?
What would it take to hack that? I don't want to buy all the figurines, but I want to experience the content.
I'm not trying to cheat other players, just experience the full gameplay available.
The figurines work through RFID, they've already been hacked by someone but he got and C&D from Activision so the project is pretty much dead.

I was playing Rush on Operation Firestorm as the defending team (Russians) and the opposing team was able to sit in the hills to the right of their spawn point and snipe. When I tried to rush that section of the map I was getting the warning message that I need to return to the map.
Is this legitimate or is this a hack? It was quite annoying and gives the opposite team an unfair advantage.
I was playing on the Xbox 360.
It's actually like that so that the defending team doesn't spawn kill the attacking team. All maps have zones where one team can't enter, those zones are defined with grey stripes in the minimap

Looking for a tool to get current character data (hp,mana,exp,gold, etc.) from the current version (1.13) of Diablo 2. Its fine if it just works for single player, and even an out of date tool is better than nothing.
With Hero Editor you can customize anything.

I've played games with some friends and they claimed that so-and-so was cheating. I honestly just thought that he was a really good player.
What are some indications that someone is actually cheating?
It is very hard to tell nowadays, where you can rack up kills on tight maps like NukeTown by using Hardline and getting a mass destruction weapon like the Gunship or the Chopper Gunner.
Speed hacks (he moves much faster than anyone ever can) and health cheats (he just does not die) are more obvious, so I am not going to mention them
Wall hacking is the most commonly used type of cheat where one can see through walls and track enemies from very far distances.
Some indications are:
There are some caveats to the last one, though. He might know you're there because:
There is one test to almost exactly tell if he can see through walls: the step-ahead-step-back technique, in which you need to know the place the player in question is before hand. As you are coming out of a closed space or round a corner, just run to the corner and before you really show yourself, back up a step. If he fired before you appeared chances are high he was tracking you through the walls.
As you can see, finding out whether someone is cheating is not an easy task. He might just be a good player, having a strong intuition or excellent knowledge of the map, and a good timing. I would really not take this as a rule set to say yes or no, but as a checklist of questions you ask yourself before accusing someone.
