I′m not a programer but i think this is a simple and effective way to deal with the cheaters problem.

yeh, and with that you will be able to kick out the guys that just being better, much better than you...
You probably won't, but I am sure others will abuse a feature like the 1 you are proposing.

my 2, 1 cents.

I still don't understand why we can't vote kick cheater, we are in 2011 aren't we?

Admins would be better than vote-kick.

yeah I would like that feature, and it's vote kick not vote ban. So what? I also don't want 450 ping players in the game -they should look for a better srvr for them lazy bastrds.

Are you kidding me? Like, seriously? Have you even played any other FPS? At all? I've been playing FPS since Quake/CS, good player almost never get kicked. Hacker, especially in this game are extremely easy to spot...

People will abuse? On a public server? How? LOL

Admin does work now, with Rcon. Admin have to be there 24h/24h, where a vote kick system is always there.

Vote system is awsome, worked in Wolfenstein Enemy Teretority!

If you get kicked because you were too good for the other players in the server then I really have to ask why were you playing with people way below your skill level anyway?

Perhaps because 99% of all people are...

dude, COD4 had this option on the PC and so far it's pretty robust IMO

Well rank doesn't = skill, rank only = time played, so how are you supposed to know if your joining a server with actual skilled players?.

Simply put anything, be it votekick, punkbuster, vac ANYTHING! would be useful with this MP.

I agree totally, works fine in MW2,..
Ppl will not kick a player they can see is just bettere,,
(well some might, place a kick vote, but only a few Ppl will join, and its never enough to kick the player)
However when its plaine for everyone to see hes cheating, they usally all join in the kickvote,

So it works fine,..

Cause they will log out before they get banned.
They can all vote for banning a good gamer with license, if they will be enough on a server.
The system needs to be thought as well.

Agreed, its not the best system,

But u could make it so a player only get banned, after hes been kickvoted from X amount of servers or somthing,

but it would still be way bettere than the one were currently presented whit,.. (NONE)
That or Admins on all servers 24/7, and how high is the possibillity of that happening??

I'm fairly sure seeing how this game has "anti-cheat" implemented i.e headshot number per hour etc... the votekick system would fail or would be easily bypassable.

Even the old and rusty CS 1.6 has a votekick system WTF.This is needed so much.

I don't think we are ever going to see a vote kick system, even if it's a damn basic feature for a shooter. They made their money with initial sales, now they just don't give a crap. Look at the patch they keep releasing, none of them work...that's just pathetic...

I agree so.same thing is with fear 1

cheating clans might

I used to play a lot of BF2142 and vote kicks almost never worked.

There are always gonna be people pissed off by getting slaughtered by other players and these guys often put up vote kicks which are ignored by everyone else. Even if you do spot a genuine cheater and put up a kick most everyone else on the server will assume your just whining. Only in something like Instant Action would a kick vote have a decent chance of working but in team games only half the players are gonna know the someone on the other team is a scumbag hacker.

I noticed a cheater tonight by the name of Bling Bling (some number) who was aimbotting. I just left the server but I thought it would be useful if I could flag this guy on my system so I would know not to join a server he was in. Or what about a report function, if enough people report a certain player then whoever admins the stats server (if anyone) can reset/ban/sodomize the loser.

IF ITS NOT DICONNECT. ITS CRASH. IF YOU GET ROUND THAT.... THEN CHEATERS....................100% FAIL.... ON A GOOD MP GAME. IF IT WORKED.. SP PC, MP XBOX. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....... I KNOW LET'S ALL VOTE ON CHEATERS...... BUT WHAT STOP FROM BEING KICK, BEING GOOD.... ONLY PROBLEM.... SORRY ABOUT CAPS... JUST PISSING ME OFF.... 1.2 PATCH FIX NOTHING.... JUST GET TO THE EYE MORE..... CRY_BABY OUT.

maybe we need servers, where we have to aply (eamil). and talk in the game....... PC gaming is brill, but svcks so hard....... 0

i dont think this system would work for console gamers. those dim witted **** cant handle simple things like a mouse let alone actually thinking through anything...

To the guy who thinks votekick is never used against good players in FPS' with it.

Are you retarded? People call walling 90% of the time, because 90% of the player base is dumb. Good players don't KICK people who are just good, but other players do all the time. Happened to me all the time in CoD4, bad players just assume that if you're raping them, you must be hacking, and half the time, people will just assume they're right.

My favorite one was a dude who was standing still across the map, and I shot him like 4 times over the course of 4 seconds, carefully and precisely, while he just stood there and took it. Then he just said "rundown aimbots", called a vote, and immediately half the server vote-kicked me.

It gets abused as well. I've seen servers get locked down because 3 or 4 friends get in one, and then every time someone shows up, they votekick him because they just want to monopolize the server.

Admin powers are a much more reliable method, if it's a reputable server, and someone is obviously cheating, just record it, provide the footage to an admin, and get the person banned. Leave the server temporarily, come back later.

I honestly don't think that there will ever be a perfect solution to hacking though. Like I said, vote kick gets abused, but if you don't have it and have admins instead, they obviously can't be online 24/7, so even though you can eventually get that one hacker banned from the server, it's an arduous process. and of course, there will never ever be software that can detect and boot every hack.
