Crytek on Crysis 2 Cheating

[Mar 10, 2011, 10:44 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Crysis 2 Blog addresses cheating in the recently released demo for Crysis 2, Crytek's upcoming first-person shooter, saying there will be more safeguards against this in the full game (thanks Grey Viper). Word is:

We know that some people have been playing with an unfair advantage in the Crysis 2 demo. Rest assured that although the demo does not have these features installed, our team has been working for some time on various anti-cheat measures that have been introduced for the retail release of Crysis 2. We would like to make sure everyone is aware of how important this issue is to us, and that we will continue to strive for a cheat-free community with Crysis 2.

This announcement seems a little ironic based on the tone of the recent video clips regarding MP.

At 1:30 he's talking about upgrades you can use and he ends saying, "Is it fair? Who Cares!"

Seems to be a theme running through these video clips that you can be so overpowered that is borders on cheating...by design...

IMO, I would not classify that as cheating, just may end up being poor decision making by the developer (Crytek) as it relates to the MP balance. Maybe they’re testing the waters, and after some time they'll take a harder look at it and decide to either scale it back, or remove it all together. Time will tell; after the full version is released and numerous hours are played by myriad of different people, then we’ll see what shakes out, what works, and what people will complain about the most……………
