Anti-Cheat Now, Please

First off I would just like to say, I don’t understand why 343 would choose to offer a first person shooter for free and not have an anti-cheat, or even a way to report players.

That being said, I think there needs to be a universal anti-cheat across all competitive FPS. There needs to be a standard and a collective effort to rid all FPS of cheaters. It’s a universal problem, especially for the more popular games. Valorant’s Vanguard is the most reliable and effective anti-cheat I’ve seen since VAC. Ranked matches are null if a cheater is detected. An anti-cheat that’s universal, can be implemented with every single release… thus allowing it to be much more effective. I feel as if most anti-cheats are a half-hearted efforts because it doesn’t effect your profit margins, and it’s more so to benefit the competitive community… in saying that you’ve got to realize the longevity of a game… weighs heavily on how much of the player base is saturated with these -Yoink!- roaches. If a game has a strong anti-cheat… it promotes competitive play, Valorant is a prime example… it’s massively popular because it has a strong anti-cheat. Does anyone honestly think that game would be doing so well if it had a lackluster anti-cheat or if it was just absent of one all together. Either way, I think it’s naive of 343 to release a game without one. You’re going to put Halo in the ground unless you move quickly to establish something that’s substantial.

You should focus on keeping the hackers at bay, banning ID’s that are hard to spoof. Such as hardware, rather than IPs. It’s a plague that not only ruins the over all experience of a game, but it places a stigma on the franchise. No one likes to go to Youtube and see “Hackers in Halo”.

Is there really no anti-cheat? Wow.

Did you just lose a few games in a row? I’ve gone hundreds of games without any cheaters.

Not saying they aren’t there but cheaters aren’t what’s holding back your ability to rank up bro.

Regardless anti-cheat is kind of a minimum requirement these days so, you’re right.

The game is relatively new, of course you aren’t going to have as many hackers in the beginning. They do exist, and there are hacks out there, and no I’m almost Onyx. If you think they aren’t coming or that “hacks” aren’t currently in the works you don’t know the FPS community too well. It needs to be done before it’s a problem, not during or after. All I’m stating is, if Halo wants to be taken seriously in the competitive community, and run sponsored tourny’s etc etc… they’re going to have to establish an effective anti-cheat. It’s just something that has to be done, and don’t half-a** it.

Yeah, it doesn’t feel like a widespread thing yet, but I’ve run into 3 or 4 people who never miss to a suspicious degree. I hope they add anti-cheat before it does get widespread.

I agree there should be anti cheat, but I think first and foremost there should be a report button IN GAME. When I report someone through the Xbox system, it doesn’t let 343 know, it lets Microsoft know…
