First of all... i wont go into a epic caps rage, even though i would like to do so.

As most of you may know.... Crysis 2 is riddled with hacking and cheating wastes of life...
Though what frustrates me the most is that, even when 15 of the 16 players noticed theres a hacking cheater on the server...
The only thing they can do is chat mesages like "OMG GTFO HAX"

The other thing would be to quit the server, but that doesnt get you anywere because the next server will often have another cheater in it.

The most basic and easy to put in "quick fix" to get rid of the bulk of many cheaters is to add a Votekick system.
Ofcourse the game needs to be thouroughly rewritten and protected against hacking software.
But for now a votekick system atleast gives people the power to reject those miserable sh!ts.

Ofcourse, some people who are just plain good at the game might get kicked aswell, but they probably would be better of on a higher ranked server anyways. And i think they'd wanna sacrifice a few misunderstanded votekicks to atleast keep the cheaters out.


Things that might be pretty obvious to detect are:

Players that shoot while cloaked
Players that teleport all over the place (including up "out of reach" places)
Players that wont die even when attacked by 4 players at the same time
Players that have their sights/killcams whizzing all over the place... AIMBOTS
Players that never need to reload
Players that call in multiple orbital strikes without having any killstreaks going on
Players that have more than 3 times the amount of kills any other player on the server has

And yes... i've seen them all... sadly...
mostly going exactly like in this re-enactment:

I really enjoy this game when im on a server that hasnt got any cheaters, its well balanced.
Though with cheaters in the server its like trying to fight a tank with a toothpick... it doesnt work very well

no - never a vote kick

it will be abused by clans and noobs to get their attention or a hard on.


votekick will kick good players!

Crysis 2 has a fun multiplayer however these simple server option such as a vote kick have been around for well over a decade.
I understand that EA wants to control the servers and not allow players to host their own so they can rent out those privelges.
but its ludicrus that these simple server options are gone in modern games. and now it seems they wont even bother with cheat prevention either.
there are plenty of options available such as punkbuster.

EA/Crytek FIX YOUR DAMN GAME

votekick will kick good players!

No doubt about it...

But... if for every 10 hackers 1 good player gets votekicked it would be worth it already.
Currently the game is unplayable.

And probably if someone is "pwning" everyone in the server, by pure skill, they shouldn't be playing on that server anyways. Then he is just using inexperienced players as target practice, and should just join his other rank 40+ friends

You mad? Vote kick? It's 2011, console don't need a vote kick, so PC don't get a vote kick!

/sarcasm off

Seriously, this feature been in almost all FPS, it's there for a reason. Sometimes, I do wonder what game developer are smoking, probably some good stuff.
