With cheaters showing up on MCC recently…and knowing Infinite MP is free to play…
How are we going to deal with Xing Cho Romanov the 3rd and his 1000 accounts with aimbot/no clip flying software?
This is very important if we want to have a healthy player experience…
They’ve stated they’ve worked on an anti-cheat system.
If they tell us how it works now, it’ll allow them to come up with work arounds.
I’m sure they take the security of the game seriously. Hardware bans will catch the casual cheaters, people who just download and host some random bot they found on github or whatever, and if it becomes a real problem, creating a votekick system isn’t super difficult. It’s how TF2 is dealing with it’s bot crisis right now. Despite there being tons of bots in TF2 thanks to a source code leak, It’s really easy to get into a game without any bots, because kicking them is incredibly easy.
An aggressive anti-cheat with the capability to perform a hardware ban + a comprehensive votekick system would make cheaters rare and ineffectual.
