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.

You'd think companies would put more thought into anti-cheat and anti-grief measures nowadays. Someone IS going to do it, even if its a small percentage, and if a company doesn't do anything to prevent it it just means the percentage goes up. Put a few seconds thought into "if I wanted to ruin someone's game, how could I" and then "and now how can I minimize that behavior". If you have to, before the game is released, bring in and pay some teen $20 and tell him to figure out how to ruin someone's game by griefing. Simple and cheap. Oh and also, never trust anything coming from the client. Putting everything (like inventories) client side is just asking for trouble.
