If only game makers would build this kind of system into their Anti-cheats, make the cheater think for as long as possible they are ruining other people's day only to find out that the last hour has been against AI with canned outrage responses from the AI.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoI think most game makers just put cheaters into a cheater-only pool of players.
- tyleraldrich 10y agoI don't know of any game makers that do this. They probably should, like how Dota 2 will put players who abandon games often into games with other leavers, but most popular games go through "ban waves" to get rid of groups of cheaters at once (Valve has done this many times with CS: GO for example).
- pavel_lishin 10y ago> I don't know of any game makers that do this. Well, apparently Rockstar did this for Max Payne 3 in 2012, and apparently it also applies to GTA-V http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/35441/taking-aim-at-cheaters-in-max-payne-3.html http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/35441/taking-a... http://www.gta5tv.com/gta-v-cheaters-pool-details/ http://www.gta5tv.com/gta-v-cheaters-pool-details/ http://kotaku.com/gta-player-says-he-hired-cheater-to-rescue-him-from-a-1706331446 http://kotaku.com/gta-player-says-he-hired-cheater-to-rescue...
- tyleraldrich 10y agoHuh, I had no idea GTA5 did that. Thanks for the info, I really would love to see more game developers implement something like this.
- retox 10y agoI like this idea; let's see who has the best and biggest cheats. A comedian once suggested we have the Olympics and we do today, and a no-holds-barred Cheaters Olympics where those competing can take any substance they like, to really see how far the human body can be pushed. I wonder how long until we have to have a regular and an augmented Olympics.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThat sounds like Quake. It isn't quite, but Quake is the closest thing. Quake's metagame has evolved around extreme dexterity, complicated scripting, and an obsessive desire to use every trick in the book to push youself beyond the game's intended limits. This is why things like the bunnyhop, the rocketjump, and wallrunning are not only accepted, but expected.
- Houshalter 10y agoSome minecraft servers used to do this. The "griefer" would see blocks being destroyed and placed, but their actions would have no effect on the server. Eventually they would get bored and leave on their own. It was hilarious too. I think current anti-cheat tool suck. Cheaters are usually obvious, sometimes blatantly flying around, or performing inhuman actions. Simple machine learning should be able to detect cheats with high accuracy.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoyes, but then we get an arms race, and that ends with all of the best humans who aren't cheating getting banned as well.
