Anything Crytek will make, aim-bot will find a way around. Because people who sell aim-bot - that's their BUSINESS and they WILL make new updates no matter what. And there will be a lot of idiots who will buy it.

The best way to get rid of cheaters - servers with Admins, Vote Kick enabled, even Vote Ban (with very high percent of voting). I saw topics with servers with rcon enabled. ok but, even if you give them a fight, they'll come back later.

because thats what cheaters do, they wait out and come back when you don't have anyone left to watch over the game. So i must agree that votekick and voteban is the best solution.

Good players will be kicked too but it`s better to get kicked (and flattered in the same time:)) than you can not play at all.

thanks

Good points.

While Crytek is at fault for allowing the BS stat changing hacks to infiltrate their game, aimbots are pretty impossible to stop unless they change the way drivers work i am guessing. A programmer can just read the stream of data and see what's being drawn on the screen, so the game can't do anything about that. Rcon should have been available immediately on release instead of having servers of powerless admins getting their asses rocked by hackers on their own servers. I hope they can bring this game back to life but we will see, the problems have turned away a lot of players and I still see CrytekProgrammer hitting up places like The Dog Pound and EVGA (which has been ravaged by hackers since day one, all day)

If everyone would just leave the server when an aimbotter joined, the botters would eventually get bored of hopping from server to server, or they would try to tone down their cheating, either way I don't understand why people sit and get farmed for rounds while the hacker just sits and laughs to himself. Buying cheats for an online game is so pathetic, it's like paying a whore to prove you can score chicks.

I am sad to see that the community of this forum pays more attention to grammatical errors from users or how DX11 will boost this game to THE GAME OF CENTURY. c`mon guys. we are not some scientific or cultural forum. There are so many users from Europe, Asia, Russia and so on. English is not our primary language. Be more understanding.

There are much bigger issues than grammar or how C2 will be the best game for this century with DX11 patch... Good graphics will not scare cheaters or fix login issues and so on.

anticheat is working so far it keeps 100% of all hackers off all the servers i have yet to play against any hacker since they put their anticheat in place it is awesome multiplayer is awesome now the best mp in any game ever

The thing that pisses me off is that this is basically a beefed up Combat Arms because of how they did this up. Even if they allow votekicks and votebans, when Clans go up against each other with no knowledge of their opponents, they may(will) get hacked to death by one of the other players simply because of no functional anti-cheat.

Actually, Combat Arms probably has a better anti-cheat system in place than this game ever will. And look at that game. It just pisses me off that we payed $60 for a modern version of Combat Arms. I'd rather have my $60 back and put it towards something else. This is ****.

Troll much?

my strong advice for you guys: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

Player EVMAN is flying around the map. Someone please get this guy out of ranked servers.... Not fair. I can't fly around with an aimbot and go 30 and 0. It's ****. Didn't know where to post people cheating but if someone can get video of this guy it would be awesome.

we are not allowed to post videos with cheaters on this forum. i have been warned when i did

I can't agree with you more OP.

one thing that "could" scare of cheaters is if the devs acually took some legal actions against the ppl selling cheats... but unfortunetly they dont got eny balls...

Don't feed the Biebs.

legal actions could be too much. i guess that serial key banned would be great. terms of usage broken and BAM! CD-KEY banned!

Cry of banned cd key cheaters

Music to my ear .... sweet...

they will never take legal action, the reason is, when a cheater gets banned he has to go get another cd key , the devs like cheaters, it keeps the money coming in for more cd keys, this is why they stopped banning ip addresses on a global level in 2007

i cannot believe that the idiot cheater who bought another cd-key will use cheats again. or maybe he will
but with another 2 or 3 experiences like that it`s hard to believe they will pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars just to cheat and get banned.

cheaters ruining 50+ ppl's precious time, money, legitimate experience is simply unacceptable.

who'd like to pay to get ass kicked online?

The problem is they will not... they will get a keygen and take some random person's key.

i`m not an expert on cdkey algorithms but is this possible? that some guy could manage to randomly find and use my cdkey?

Srsly?!
What the hell.....and I sacrificed my death-kill-ratio to create evidence of the cheaters...(with FRAPS).

Okay, Vids aren't allowed. What about pics?

Votekick would be great...
Today I played on a server and met two hackers/cheaters.
One of them sayed that he isn't cheating, but he shot through walls and was flying around.....the other one was underground (map: Lighthouse) and shot the ppl from there. Second one could have been a bug, but the guy didn't seem to be surprised about himself being under the lighthouse...

PS:
A keygen produces possible keys. So if you have bad luck and the keygen generates your key....

Totally donable. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many guys selling Crysis2 cdkeys for like 10USD on the net.

I've been patiently waiting for anti-cheat update but now I've lost hope in crytek. Have come across cheaters every single day. They r getting smarter. Today, a cheater was not using aimbot or shooting through walls but he seemed to know everyone's position and had extra armor. I emptied the mag into him but he turned around and killed me.

I already encontered a few players using a "super bot" who instantly killed (by headshot) every one who got in a 40m radius... It was freaking amazing! They had already shot the bullet before I even see them.. Even if I'm invisible and coming behind!

Interesting point: if you look at other FPS games such as COD, none of them are as exploitable (mass kill anyone?).

The reason is simple: Crytek have an obsession with doing everything client side. Hit detection, player rank, killstreaks, weapon damage, health regen, suit absorption and so on.

In other words, hackers are able to make much more intricate hacks because of Crytek's approach to game design. If hit detections were done server side, there would be no mass kill. If rank and killstreaks were done server side, there would be no rank hacks. If weapon damage was done server side, there would be no one-hit kill cheaters. And if health and suit stuff weren't handled by the client, there wouldn't be "godmode" infinite cloak players.

It doesn't help that Crytek's approach to anticheat is to implement server-sided heuristic checks (heuristic basically means it's an educated guess, in other words "That guy's firing rapidly? Probably hacking. Ban him". Heuristics are always lots of fun for people with high ping). Instead, they should be actually fixing the game client.

For example: stop letting the client decide if they have a killstreak. Have the server calculate killstreak each time a player is killed, and then send a message to the client announcing the available killstreak. If they don't have a killstreak, they can mash "call in chopper" as much as they want, but the server will just ignore them because it doesn't think they have one.

DarkLite, with your (good) suggestions they will have to rewrite the whole goddamn game... and this will never happen
