Its not their fault you made it so dam easy to cheat online. ITS YOUR CRAPPY DEVELOPMENT THATS AT FAULT.

Seriously after seeing this done, its just sad.

GOOD DAY!


Yes it's not there fault they edited the config file......someone held a gun to there heads and said "go ruin everyones fun on multiplayer"


Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD

I can rob a bank....but I choose not to.

The fact someone forced them to edit it or not is irrelevant. The fact its so easy to do so is!
It shouldn't be this easy!

Its as easy as pusing up down up down and getting god mode. Its not my fault its that easy but it is and while i might have the ablility to not do it. Lots of other people are doing just cause its that easy.

Its as if the Bank said hey come and take all our money! The safe key is under the mat and cops won't arrest you! ITS FREE FOR YOU TAKING! We won't do a thing, we promise.

Or even better

Its as if the money to the bank was already at your house. O.o

You can't justify crytek's failure with this at all.
You just can't.

Ever hear of moral fiber? my definition of it is this:

doing the right thing ....especially when no one is looking. If you don't understand that there really is no helping you

I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds...you know, basically being a **** Boy Scout.

But lately I've been seeing it differently.

Considering its a phrase from urban dictionary no. I haven't heard of more than half the phrases/words in urban dictionary.

Ever heard of moral herpes.

The OP has a point. While I also agree with Ven36, I would have to say that from a development stand point, it is a pretty bad oversight. The truth is person(s) with enough time and determination will be able to crack any encryption or protection implemented (cliché but...'locks only keep out honest people' if you will).
So the best practice is to reduce the attack surface. What the OP is getting at is, if I understand correctly, is they did not take reasonable steps in protecting their software.

As a developer of any kind of software, you cannot expect people to be honest and developers have a responsibility (at least if you wish to continue to make money) to your client\customers to implement proper, reasonable and thought out measures to protect your software by reducing its attack surface.
Implementing reasonable measures to make it difficult to hack the game would reduce the chance of it happening, reduces the amount of people doing it, which in turn reduces the amount and chances of the game experience being affected negatively by this issue.

All developpers know than some value can't be sended from client side to server so i really think how anti cheater system are active here ? noone.

Whatever system they have isn't working, clearly there's no server side authentication for files, maybe they didn't expect people to open the encrypted game assets so soon.

The MP game is not thinked to be secure, u can see if u lose conenction u lose the xp point but the weapons than u have unlocked remain to u what's mean this ?
Than ipotetically u can modify some parameters and use all weapons u want.
All this data must be in server side your level the weapons u have, the class u have unlocked the name for it,
but also all the damange level of single weapons nanosuite and other here is all like u play in a stand alone campaign.
Also the easy way to show all player on map, ridiculus.

this thread is amusing me
