Is it just me or did the patch just make cheaters less obvious and added more of them?

I'm seeing lots of people who i'm pretty sure has modified bullet damage, recoil, energy, wallhacks plus the not so obvious speedhacks which is a lot more noticeable when they forget they don't have mobility enhance on.

Even my level 3 mobility enhance doesn't go as fast as them.

And I know it's not because of the lag either. These same guys take damage without ever losing energy so they can continue sprinting even when they get hit out of cloak mode.

They can also sometimes have like multiple modules on aside from your standard 3 limit. Which is why I find it weird some guy can go around quickly cloaking in and out while moving fast with with detonation delay, blind spot, and retriever.

Crytek really needs a better anti-cheat system or else they might as well keep patching this thing everyday.

The patch has done nothing at all because any protection can be broken or circumvented if there is someone willing to do so.
If Crytek wants to have a decent product, they need to respond quickly to threats because security is a non-stop game of back and forth. (meaning that new protections are implemented all the time and are broken eventually in security in general)

It's very strange to get shot and dead in less than a half sec every time I encounter these "strange players" with higher ping than me and I am not that terrible at aiming and shooting.

It's not good at all to get shot and dead by these strange players with modified damage bullets, limitless energy, recoil...etc,....
or nanovision modification.

very weird and something's definitely off.

maybe community can come up with better methods to deal with them in the future?

Meh, most of it is probably paranoia. I've been accused countless times of hacking simply because people don't seem to understand the basic gameplay mechanics of Crysis 2 and that some people have invested more time in the game than they do.

I haven't met any obvious cheaters since 1.3 actually, I've seen some suspiciously good players, but eventually I found a way to beat most of them so whatever it is that Crytek is doing, in my experience it's working.

Did you know that most of the hit detection in C2 is from client side? So latency doesnt really play much of a difference in this game as compare to other FPS games.

As for the "speed hack", did you know that armor enhance lvl2 combo with aim enhance lvl 3 removes movement speed penalties when ADS and armor mode. Therefore making them a harder target to shoot than someone who doesnt have either of this 2 modules? So when you're in this situation, the guy with this 2 modules will be most likely dodging your bullets and receive less dmg as compare to you where you are as good as a sitting duck when you turn on armor mode and ADS.

Aim Enhance - Reduced recoil (unique to weapon)
UPGRADE II - 0.4x view shake from explosions
UPGRADE III - 1.6x movement speed when aiming down sights (versus whatever negative speed it offers)

Armor Enhance 0.5x Energy Consumption
UPGRADE II - +25% movement speed in Armor Mode
UPGRADE III - Immune to Nanosuit Jammer Bonus

So stop accusing people of speed hacking when they have both or either of this 2 modules. Other factor that people might think others are speed hacking is the lag spikes. I've seen some players have a sudden increase of movement speed but on killcam they were moving just like normal. So blame it on the lag spikes and not the players.

BTW, Mobility enhance DOES NOT increase your movement speed:

Mobility Enhance 0.5x Sprint and Jump Energy cost
UPGRADE II - 0.5x Ledge grab climb time
UPGRADE III - 0.25x Fire after Sprint time

Juzjoe, could you link here or through a PM a list with all the numbers, please?

http://denkirson.xanga.com/742784256/crysis-2/ This is what you need!

Damn it people how many times this has to be repeated pro people are not cheaters! if he shoots u faster its because he has faster reflexes then u... and about that wallhack? oh plz crank up ur sound system an u can hear footsteps! oh and did u know that when u use aim enhance u have almost no recoil? and did u know that ifhe shoots u while not having armor ull die almost instantly if he hits u in the head? im just fed up with nubs like these saying theres always a cheater when they dont know how to shoot -.-

^And i am fed up with nerds like you, claiming all pros are legally playing.

yeah, pro means they invested more time so they do better and know better about advantages normal ppl don't know about
tweaks and glitches, technical advantages,

If it's simply due to experience and skills that's being on the table I am not at all feeling anything weird about it,
and I saw some video tipping on nanovision tweaks and some ppl got angry at video uploader as he was giving out supposed to be secret advantageous tweaks.

Thanks for the stats link!

nothing change all sh^t still the same, just quit the game to find different hackers in each game and the fukn menu music is still bugged,,,, wtf is this sht , this patch changed nothing regarding the hacks, they just more and more

There are some cheaters in the game.

Yesterday i saw someone shot me with 1-2 shots.

On the killcam i could see he wasnt doing headshots.

There must be something like, doing the weapons stronger.

No, that's perfectly normal. It's because you have next to naught health in this game, which is what I've been complaining about.

Even a silly K-Volt, which is supposed to be a support weapon - can kill you in about 1.6 seconds.
Way more than enough, unless you go face-on against someone. But even then, the HUD effects just destroy whatever sense of location this game has.

That's called lag not cheaters. I realized this whenever I had high ping. Also the kill cam is bugged. Very bugged. This also took time for me to see. It may seem someone shot you twice and killed you but really they shot you fifteen times and killed you. I've had re lag be so bad that people see me before I see them. Lol

Also do note that problems like these happen even if you have low ping. If someone has high ping it ruins a lot up just like with most other online games. People, please, play in your region

^^ Another one of those rare moments that I have to agree with Silent......The killcam is buggy just like in Blackops

I looks like you are shot 2 times but when you check the killcam you can see you were shot more than 2 times. I know its annoying, thats y I stopped playing homefront.

Crytek Germany should fix this issue. We all know Crytek UK are just a bunch of console playing amateur programmers who have no experience in pc gaming or pc development.

Like i said, hit detection is client side. Doesnt matter if you have high ping or low ping, what the players see and do on his side translate to the other player.

yeah, pro means they invested more time so they do better and know better about advantages normal ppl don't know about
tweaks and glitches, technical advantages,

The nanovision tweak is basically just to make it look sharper/clear unlike the standard blurry/fuzzy image. Anyhow, the tweak doesn't work anymore.

^And i am fed up with nerds like you, claiming all pros are legally playing.

Lol, this. If your just slaughtering everyone, your going to be kicked. Go play with some other "pros".

I can tell you that more than half the time none of them have any enhancement modules on whatsoever and I did indicate on my post that they had weirder modules on that don't really match.

I know how speed is on this game since I use aim enhance to move faster with HMG even on armor mode and I do know about all that lag and ping stuff can affect gameplay.

Here's a link to show that i'm not just some newbie in this game

I'd put more videos on but recording on FRAPS uses about all my 80gb in 3 games.

Stop assuming people who keep posting about cheaters are nothing but noobs. If you keep telling people to ignore legitimate complaints then you might as well be trying to share a signature that says to save and respect cheaters.

I've also been playing since launch and this is the only time I noticed these things happening since the latest patch.
