Crysis 3 and hacking - YES, I read the sticky

Post » Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:08 pm

So, 3 months ago Crysis 3 was in Open Beta and there were a lot of complaints about hacking, but the most used argument was that it was on Beta, and people often were even hostilized for complaining.

Now, almost 2 months after the Launch and 1 month since I stopped playing Crysis 3 MP, I went to a match and were killed by lamers the same ways I was killed in Crysis 2 MP.

What catchs my attention is that Crytec announced in bold they have banned almost 200 Origin accounts. And that's a real low number that makes me real mad, considering the same users who were at the top of the rankings are still there, one with 139 games and more than 100 million experience points. I remember the day I saw that for the first time, he had 99999999 and 9 games. The accuracy top 10 is curious as well, it has a guy with more than 400% accuracy. Guess he only shoots 4 people at once with each bullet, and never misses, and ocasionally hits another one or two. And he even have negative misses!

I'd love to have a refund in some games, and this is one. Great concept, but still a concept.

Actually 200 bans is quite a lot considering how many players there are online in Crysis 3 at all times, which peaks ~1000 at best from what I have heard. Leaderboard hackers ain't that bad, they're not ruining anybody's gameplay experience and everybody knows they hacked their stats (altho one would assume they get banned as easily too).
As for the refunds. You played the campaing trough, right? Even tho it was short, IMO it was one of the best campaings I have played story and gameplay wise. Multiplayer is big part of Crysis these days, but most of the work goes to campaing.

Crysis 2 had as many people claiming people were hacking due to buggy killcams as there were people actually hacking (a lot). In C3 they locked out the pirate accounts which lowered the number of hackers substantially, also they improved the anticheat. There are some around but they are usually not as obvious. At the moment I am suspecting theres an aimbot certain scar+laser users are using but its hard to tell with kill cams.
