What cheat protection is Crysis 3 using for its Multiplayer?

Post » Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:16 am

I have been playing C3 Multiplayer on my PC alot since the launch and currently sit at level 43, what I have been noticing more and more lately on the Aussie servers are Hackers and cheats, just before there were 2 guys running around with 430+ pings and scores of 40-3 .... I mean ffs this just ruins ANY fun or immersion and makes everyone online very angry! You seriously couldn't even hit the trigger button before you were dead by these idiots, also shooting crossbow bolts from one end of the map to the other and head-shotting every time even when you are cloaked and jumping around!

So apart from a useless kick system ( how many people have to vote for it to succeed I have never seen it happen, it always says not enough votes?! vote failed) what else have Crytek put into the game to stop these idiots from ruining everyone elses fun online? I noticed they are not even using Punkbuster? DO Crytek care about protecting their game from hackers and cheaters?

I hope they do something about this soon, after the SP campaign is finished there is only MP left for gamers looking for more from their Crysis 3 experience!

:( I hate cheaters

I know what is up with that? Where are all the Aussie gamers gone? I would have to bring up another game, but with Battlefield 3 if ANYONE with a 200+ ping arrived they would be kicked immediately from the server, not only that but everyone had a ping of between 20-80 not so with Crysis 3 ? Maybe the hackers create higher pings?

High ping != Cheating. They aren't the same thing on any level. However the headshot spamming you suggested IS cheating.
As for the anti-cheat, its working on a number of levels, of which I've explained many times.
Its not 100% fool proof, so if you see someone cheating with (or without) video proof, PM Fellblade.
Fellblade is currently working on Anti-cheat improvements, so we should see an update of that in the first Crysis 3 patch coming out in the next few weeks.
