Don't get me wrong there is plenty of cheating in this game, but I think some of the claims I see might be unfounded or exaggerations. I've been called a cheater twice just for doing really well so I have to wonder if this is a common occurrence where someone is just doing particularly well and gets called a cheater. I'd say the majority of the games I've played haven't had cheating, or at least easily identifiable or effective cheating.

i honestly think its both.

Well, yes, of course it's overblown for the reasons you've mentioned.

However, cheaters/hackers are a huge problem in Crysis 2 MP, furthermore it's difficult to distinguish between those that do really well and the ones using hacks (that is until, you see them flying through walls)

Plus, Cryteks methodology has been, eh, less then stellar we should say when it comes to patching this game, ie locking down the PAK files (that didn't even fix the problem).

I anticipate thier SLI fix will involve a Crytek employee visiting your house and removing one of your video cards, (possibly smashing it to bits?)

Since 1.2 the amount of cheaters has fallen dramatically. I have seen one definite aimbotter since being on the new patch but that's the only confirmed I've seen. Before the patch it was practically every game!

Yeah. my k/d ratio rose to 0.85 from 0.6 after version 1.2 since crytek have finally controlled the hackers.

Then there is a new cheat out there. I have it xfired. Where can we report them and get them banned or whatever?

there is unlimited cheats for this game.
this one named iateyourhorse is using the standard old crysis 1 hack where they just teleport your player model right infront of them on their game, so all they have to do is punch you. it doesn't matter where you are.
and cryphuck can't do **** about it because they are so lame.

Thats why Server Admins come on and type rcon_command kick iateyourhorse

I assume you mean in Crysis 1. There's only very very limited rcon abilities in this game, and you have to use a workaround to get an old rcon tool to do it. It's ridiculous.

I'd like to say first that yes there are cheaters. My clans server doesn't get them too often though. I had a guy using "exploits" and got mad so he threw a fit when he got a temp ban of 30 seconds. He then either got a friend or used a different name to play on the server and aimbot. He got 28/3 in 1 minute before I perma banned that one.

I don't get the purpose in cheating, exploiting whatever. Just play for fun.

I must say one of the problems though is that the admin abilities are severly lacking. At launch we couldn't even kick someone without crashing the server. Heck, the auto spawn is a pain in the butt because if I need to kick someone I have to leave the game to do it while I repeatedly spawn and get killed untill I'm done. Sometimes it will cost me up to 5 deaths!!!

In the multiple games my clan runs servers for I have NEVER perma banned anyone till this guy. I don't even kick unless I have witnessed the deed because sometimes the guy is just good despite how you feel.

In this casethe guy was exceptionally good to the point of being a possible cheater but when he killed me 4x as I spawned without being near me I had enough. He then came on vent and admittedly used an exploit.

Man dudes it got better with patch 1.2 but hell no i see a hacker in every game. one uses no kill cam so you cant see how they hacked you... second one was total aim bot. second one was a teleport. third is the i like to call snap the neck. one guy made every one of his 40 something kills with snaping the necks

lag and skills can cause the illusion of hacking.

obvious hacks are Sliding hack, energy hack, reload hack and aimbot. all highly noticeable
