Bump.

WOW I can only say one word to the OP

ENVY

What's there to envy? When I visualize what these hackers look like I imagine some skinny autistic 12 year old sitting behind a computer screen in a dark room with a milk mustache who gets bullied at school and hasn't seen daylight for years, and probably no chance of getting laid when they're older, and probably stretch to any lengths to get attention which is why they resort to hacks because they can't play the game.

They might pwn with their auto aim but I pwn them at life

As for the leader boards I don't care about my own rankings for a start, a change in the rankings wouldn't make a difference to me I don't pretend to be super 1337 at the game I just play it when I got nothing much to do and I got nobody around (I also run a music studio which is the main focus of my life atm). The point I'm trying to make is the removal of cheaters would be hugely symbolic to Cryteks position on cheaters and glitchers, which at the moment it's almost like they accept them in the game.

Crytek owes it to us paying customers to stamp these **** out of the leader-boards, even if their own cheat protection is a shambles.

@teh_n00binator He is trolling you

On-Topic : I cant believe why Crytek is protecting hackers for being banned . It's unacceptable cheaters still in top of leaderboards . You know crytek , is like if someone else invites me to his house(your game) and see that everything is dirty and there are dead dogs in the yard ... what that makes you think? . You are in time to clean your name and prestigious . Crysis 2 is your flagship to promote your consolized CryEngine 3 ,at least show respect for your own game.

This made no sense, obvious troll lol

Back to the topic, I think they should start going through the more obvious hacked stats and clean the leaderboards up.
If anything, seeing these leaderboards the way they are now really does put me off playing the game, as there is no way to beat those kind of stats.

Crytek are already aware of cheating going on in their game and are already making fixes in the last couple of patches.

Voted yes....

Cryengine 3 is not consolized, it's an engine, it can be whatever you want it to be.

I agree

You need a course of anger management. Seriously.

On topic: removing them would solve absolutely nothing. They'd just hack back up there. It's like bailing water out of a sinking boat when there's a huge hole in the bottom, it'll all just come right back.

If they would rely more on human intervention instead of automated anti-cheat programming that doesn't seem to work very well then I think they have a better chance of keeping the boat afloat, so to speak.
Removing the obvious from the leaderboards should be done, regardless. The cheaters don't deserve the privilege of seeing their names there, only those that earned it.

For another matter, first of all, EA needs to come down hard on cheaters/hackers and do permanent bans, period.

Yea I know there are some really awesome players reading this and saying they get mistaken for hackers cause they are so good, and that they may get banned. I hope that doesn't happen, and the bans, if ever, will be of only the hackers/cheaters.

yes, yes, yes

First they should remove all post that says they are updating there anti cheating software!! Why? Cause there is none. Hackers run wield and are not one bit scared!! they are laughing at us and crytek.... they wont even remove them from the game why would they remove them from the leader board.

But yes they should be removed!!! It should not even have to come to a question... This bull with updates to the anti cheat system is a smoke screen. cause we would not see as many hackers. second they need to patch the key hack. there are still lots of players playing on pirated copies.

And the 6 that voted No in the poll are hackers. 2 of them are BOOMiJUSTmOLESTEDyou and TAmponProgrammer!!!

lol this shouldn't even need a poll...i suppose common sense isn't in the equation anymore

Those leader boards just encourage the hackers to continue hacking to out perform the OTHER hackers! Remove them for sure, it will take some fun out of it for them.

Even if some would be back giving in to them where it is so very obvious (playing time vs. XP) is surely not the way to go.
And who says that they can't throw the obvious ones out every week start?

I don't think that we even have to have a discussion about this. Act, Crytek, no harm done.

bannn all those motherf*Ckers

6 voters are cheaters.

You need a course of anger management. Seriously.


No, I need to play a real playable game and not a consolized hackfest, guess that's not gonna happen until november (BF3), just a shame crysis of duty couldn't be more like that.

That remains to be seen. For years it's been "This game svcks, BUT xxx comes out next month and it will rock so much". Only that it's history repeating then again. BF3 will probably be released in an unplayable alpha state again like the predecessor, where you have to wait for two months before it makes sense (been there, done that).

But I guess we're steering off topic.

Leaderboards cleaned yet?

I checked it again yesterday evening. The first 216 "players" in the "Kills Leaderboard" are hackers with ridiculous K/D ratios.

Come on, Cry-Adam, where is the cleaning lady? Let her mop the boards swift and quickly.

So.....

3 days ban? Thats pretty short for a ban. I think it would be fair if they get a minimum 30 days ban.

30-day ban? Don't do them a favour, they must be permanently banned, even if they bought the game, why so much protection from Crytek to cheaters

Ban needs to be permanent. Period. You cheat, you pay. Hit them in the wallet, bet they think twice before doing it.

Dont forget that they must be 100% sure before they ban someone! What it would be if they ban people just for too high scores... a masacre I agree that for those who are really cheating and they are know for many users as cheaters - those should be permanently banned FROM RANKED SERVERS! Remember that everybody have paid for game but I agree - there should be some sort of punishment.

I seen a update post by Cry-Adam today. He said they pretty much took the liberty of removing and banning players that are hacking...

Here is what he wrote today...

6/5 - Today we took the action of permanently banning accounts of offenders for cheating and exploiting Crysis 2. We will endeavor to monitor stats and other sources as well as update our anti-cheat measures, to track these people down and remove them from the community. Maintaining a great experience for our players will always be our top priority.

NO.
CryTek should remove themselves from the gaming industry.
Please just take our money and run, so we dont have to live through another FAIL like this in the future.
