Hi again.

I'm bringing you, once again, a topic with an important deal that Crysis 3 must have.

Punkbuster is a common system to avoid/ban/catch hackers and cheaters in multiplayer games.
This allow you to have further fun in the game and play it free of hackers.

PB didn't make part of Crysis 2, maybe one of the reasons so much people left it or either never played it.

So here it is, should Crytek add Punkbuster at Crysis 3?
Leave your vote and remember to comment bellow.

Information: PunkBuster

PS - Sticky please? Or at least give us an answer Cry-Admins.

There already is a thread about Punkbuster.

Wrong place, let it be official and in Crysis 3 Forum.

Kinda biased but I see what you mean. I just wonder if there is a reason no to have punkbuster if you're not a cheater

busy krypton is busy. Big YES dont forget about the admin tools thread guys!

Punkbuster for #1 !!!!!!!!!!!

bump

Crysis 3 will not be worth playing if it wont have Punkbuster!

I voted for option 2 since Punkbuster svcks and ive had way to much problems with that crap, Random kicks, random disconnects and anyone remember the BF3 PN fiasco with peoples accounts getting hacked and then banned?

Never heard about that problem, did you use to update punkbuster?

Definetly required..

i hope you guys know that PB is only useful against free public hacks.It does next to nothing when it comes to paid hacks from AA or ffpcheat websites.It will only stop casual hackers while dedicated hackers will still hack like a boss.Like this guy in BF3.http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/30481582/1/308289783/

Thats why you need a good servers with admins. Good Anti cheat is a multiple layered defense against all types of hackers. Admins kick/ban the die hard cheaters, PB or VAC takes out the general hackers and IP bans on people who boost and have crazy stats/still cheat. You have to attack from all sides and Admins are a VERY important part of the system. I always go the servers that provide good Admins that keep servers hacker/cheater free.

I don't realy know if anyone noticed, all this threats were made for 1 propose:

Get a decent game, more skilled, free of hackers/cheaters.

If pb doesnt work, admins will use spectating cam so we can totaly manage the hackers at the game, using admin-tools at the servers so we can punish them. Imagine admins making cheaters look like stupid players by controling their spawn, suiciding them, spawning with no energy, no guns etc.
PS- of course, all these features must be blocked when playing at official matches (such as scrims, cups, etc..)

If everything of this will work, we could have an amazing multiplayer game, we are giving almost 1 year to Crytek work on all these things, its up to them. If they want players, work for it.

Graphics are nothing compared to Gameplay!

Who are the 6% who want to hack?

There will always be someone who disagrees about having punkbuster, don't be admired, there is no need.

If the Crysis server was modifyable like in Crysis 1 and Wars then there will be much less cheaters.
Before mods like SSM AEGIS and others allowed admins to make scripts to detect hacks etc. Some wars servers online now still use these mods and they work well.

Server side Modding is the way

http://www.crydev.net/newspage.php?news=56659 and then on.

Everybody is like: well then play on well admined servers to avoid hackers. Isnt the whole purpose of something like PB to automaticly kick/ban hackers. The fact you need admins to play a fun game is a clear indication that the Anti-cheat programs are failing. Of course there will always be people that slip the net but still..

In Crysis 2 that is/was obvious, just the administrated server were (kinda) free of hackers.

If there is PB, official servers (not administrated) won't need anything, as long as 90% of the hackers will be banned. But as said, pb doesn't catch all those pests, you need to report and prove that someone cheat. As long as Crytek doesnt make the decision of creating a MP game where the servers rule every detail of the client side (and with PunkBuster), we may not see any further hacker....

Bump all this threat so we can get information!

Biased poll is biased. Many people have legitimate grievances with Punkbuster, like the way in which you can occasionally be kicked for using the steam overlay.

That being said, I'm not one of those people in any game other than BF2142, so I voted yes.

bump

no hackers with PB in C3 ftw

I like how there is 2 votes on here for no from cheaters. THIS IS WHY WE NEED PUNKBUSTER! SORT THIS OUT.

This game needs Punkbuster badly! That is one reason why Crysis 2 failed because of the lack of Punkbuster.

Give us server files and PB and this game will be #1 instantly.
