Live Update for CTR Boosting

Post » Fri Jun 10, 2011 8:53 pm

Hi everyone,

A live update is heading to all 3 platforms very shortly. The aim of this update is to counter XP boosting in Capture the Relay. In it's previous form, you would earn 100XP for returning your teams relay. This scoring method was being abused by boosters (boo, hiss).

The adjustments we've made to the scoring system mean that now instead of getting 100XP for returning your relay and 300XP for an enemy relay capture you now get 400XP for capturing the enemy relay but 0XP for returning your relay.

We feel this is a good compromise/reward and a way to invalidate boosting. Now, in order to boost XP, you need to actually play the game properly (go from point A to point B!) :) As per all previous live-updates, all you need to do in order to apply it is exit the MP menu and go back in (it's applied when you open MP).

Thanks!

Will the scoring re-count be applied retroactively? If not then Crytek need to police the leaderboard and remove all boosters and hackers so that legit players are not ranked down on where they should be.

This might encourage people to actually go after the relay?

I hope this has fixed the weapon unlock problems. I was looking forward to unlocking my last weapon and funny enough another issue occurred. Seriously, you were on to a pretty decent multiplayer in this game!

Shame your support is not only slow but you prioritise pushing out crappy map packs instead of fixing problems. I guess its something you have to come to terms with when EA are involved. Take some pages out of bungee's book and you may get a franchise/developer that people come to love. Will keep you in business in the long run!

This is about boosting, why are you expecting something that isn't even mentioned in the OP?...

Mainly because releasing patches takes along time with MS (they have a long certification process) and seriously how hard is it to add code that just checks the amount of weapon unlocks available is correct?? Hell... even I could do that!

Just had a look and this is just a server side patch, not a client patch. Guess that makes it not so bad but still I hope a client patch comes soon!
