» Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:03 am I sincerely hope Crytek puts all their efforts into cheat detection and prevention. There is absolutely nothing more aggravating than to have cheaters in your multiplayer game, and on top of that, knowing that the said hacker is most likely someone who pirated the game.
So one, you have the rampancy of cheaters who float around the map invisibly with floating guns who refuse to die, shoot bullets made of kryptonite fragments that kill in one shot, and straight up obnoxious aimbotters.
Second, knowing that pirates even have access to the online community for free, while paying customers are stuck playing with these dregs of society.
There is no doubt that Crysis 2 is a technical achievement on all platforms; the sheer ability of Crytek to fashion a gorgeous looking game for all cannot be understated.
However, with all the vitriol spewed against Crytek for leaving PC gamers in the dark, and giving them the shaft (DX11, lack of options, Press Start, and some of the whiners are worse than the pirates), my biggest gripe is against their straight up ignorance on what it takes to foster a healthy and lively gaming community. Maybe there are legitimate reasons as to why there are so many exploits, glitches, and general lack of polish, and if that's the case, please show more transparency.
Maybe this is stemming from my KD going from 3/2:1 to 1:1 due to getting obliterated by the plague of cheaters, but I think I can speak for most, if not all of us when I say that I am deeply disappointed with my experience. Because the truth is, Crysis 2 is quite possibly the most entertaining multiplayer shooter since the first time I spent bombing boxes in de_dust.
I sincerely hope these issues get sorted out, and we finally receive the game that meets our (admittedly very lofty) expectations.
tl&dr:so much rage.
