Something Crytek could do to help against cheaters (MP)

Post » Sun May 08, 2011 7:41 am

I can understand that it might be difficult to remove all sorts of hacks and cheats from the game and while they try to fix those; a lot of people take advantage of the fact that there's banning or reporting service. So how about adding a vote kick system?
Almost everyone can spot a cheater a mile away. So until they find a real fix for this problem; a vote kick option would be extremely helpful, would it not?

again some kid who doesn't know how to play would call every pro a cheater and therefore vote kick.

Well, if every pro is flying around over the map and has speedhack....and if you answer this agressively, you are probably not a pro.

It's been discussed before and vote kick CAN and WILL be abused.

Just remember Battlefield 2 and votekicks vs good jet/helicopter pilots.

Or Crytek could dump MP and re-do it with Steamworks.

That's for sure.
There are always ppl to do that.
I guess that the only possible solution at the moment are servers with admins. Like russak99's Server, for example.

Btw: How do the reporting service work? I hear often that ppl use it, but I never heard how to use it....

This is exactly where you are wrong. Since almost everybody right now is new to the game, and many also are experienced or just unskilled, you'll mostly get false claims...

Well, if your just absolutely crushing everyone around with a 20:1 kdr, then yeah, I say vote kick you. If your so "pro", go play with some other pros. Your ruining the game.

What if vote kick requires 75% vote of all the players to kick?
If it requires 75% vote, it will lessen the possiblity of abuse.


There are few admin monitored servers plus admins can't always monitor their server,

honestly, it seem to be the only answer till some nice community anti cheat patch come out.
