Perhaps I missed this somewhere but will Halo infinite has some sort of Anti cheat program or software on the back end?
most likely easy anticheat like MCC
They haven’t disclosed the exact nature of it but it will have anti cheat
Hopefully it will have a good anticheat
There has been no mention of one for infinite.
A lot of replies here are saying there has been no mention of anticheat, which isn’t true.
This was talked about briefly in a Inside Infinite blog from a while back. This blog was centred around the PC experience.
> Of course, Halo Infinite isn’t just a great big campaign, but it’s also an incredible free-to-play multiplayer experience. When it comes to the trappings of multiplayer – what are some of the biggest considerations being taken to ensure everyone can have a good time?

> MR: We want to ensure fairness and adding PC into the mix opens Pandora’s box. We felt like we had to make an anti-cheat solution that doesn’t get in the way, doesn’t root your machine, doesn’t block your legitimate applications – we want the most unobtrusive thing possible that ensures a safe way for everyone to play together. For crossplay again we prioritize fairness without being too restrictive, so we have to draw lines players are comfortable with (input-based restrictions for ranked matches) while maintaining flexibility (you don’t have to buy the game on a different platform to play with your friends, worst case you switch input devices). We also want to ensure nobody feels like they’re at a significant disadvantage because of the way they’re playing (within reason; a 10-year-old PC just isn’t going to be as fast as a brand new ultra-high-end PC). If we do our job right, in combination with our TrueSkill 2 ranking system, everyone should be able to trust they’re getting a fair shake in the crossplay ecosystem.

> JG: I’ve got strong opinions about anti-cheat but I’m not really the person that should be talking to what we’ve built. I’d like to introduce Michael VanKuipers, our Security Engineer, to speak to this a bit further.

> Michael VanKuipers: Thanks, Jeff! We knew from the start that delivering an awesome PC game meant taking cheating seriously, and we’re committing to doing it in a way that’s respectful to the experience of legitimate players. Our anti-cheat philosophy is to make cheating more difficult in ways that don’t involve kernel drivers or background services. We’ve done a lot of work securing the Slipspace engine and developing novel ways to protect and change the game to slow down cheat development. When people do cheat, we’re focused on catching them through their behavior and not from data that we’ve harvested from their machines. Combating cheaters is an ever-evolving arms race, but we’re making the tech investments needed today to continue the fight for years to come.
TBH I’m kind of worried about this since they announced F2P. Look at the state of CoD warzone.

CoD Warzone will be getting a new map and anti cheat after Vangaurd drops. I agree though, it’s been really bad with cheaters and Halo Infinite will need anti cheat. I’m hoping Halo Infinite will allow us to disable cross play entirely, CoD allows us to disable cross play but we can’t disable it in Warzone unfortunately.
