I don't see it mentioned anywhere on the forums, but I guess many of you already know that the reason behind the uncontrollable hacking is that pirates can connect to any and every server without a legit Crysis 2 copy/key. Official, unofficial, ranked, unranked, whatever. The only AAA title with the same issue I ever heard was COD6 and they fixed it up pretty fast. I don't know for sure as I've never played it but I heard from my friends and I read about it.

So Crysis 2 already had 2 patches, it's been out for more than a month now but they still can't find a way not to let pirates join official servers. The whole background story of it (PC fanbase, consoleport, Crytek CEO crying about piracy, massive bugs on release) makes this situation with Crytek and Crysis 2 more pathetic than anything I have ever experienced in my gaming life so far.

This is not a fresh feeling I'm writing off now (I wasn't owned by hackers right now or anything), I haven't played for 2-3 days, I thought this through well and I'm calm. You utterly failed and you should be ashamed. Just sayin'.

I'm not a rich guy, I think through what I spend my money on, so right now I feel ripped off.

While I'm not a tech guy I still see that the 12 years old Quake 3 doesn't allow the kind of exploits Crysis 2 does, every important mechanism is calculated server-side while Crysis 2 can be turned upside down by a clientside hack and the server just doesn't seem to do anything to prevent that. Infinite energy and ammo? Noclip/speedhacks? Are you kidding me?

your right no one understand why they failed so hard on this part

but the most insane part is that it takes almost 2 weeks now to fix a single issue, they released 2 patches now? and what did it really fixed?

the only way to atleast get rid of cheaters is to our block fake serials, our give out a official recon tool, to let server admins control there own server. mabey then we can play with a little bit more fun.

Ooooor! Just add LAN functionality.. more people are interested with playing with family and friends anyway.

There's plenty of third party middleware out there to help with this. Use one of them. Even punkbuster is better than nothing.

do you think anti cheating is more important than dx11 or even more than do nothing?
i dont, as u see, crytek is doing nothing...

Anti-cheat is not worth a thing as long as pirates can play limitless because hackers are unstoppable then too, can't they see that?
