Huxley Game, Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter Game, MMOFPS

It's problematic, because every solution has a counter. IP banning doesn't really work because of how easy it is to change or disguise your IP. Banning CD keys is a better option because then the person has to go spend money to buy another game. Luckily, in an MMO environment the company can keep tabs on hackers and update things more easily than other games.

If they are spending all this money on creating Huxley im pretty sure they will have a top-of-the-line protection from hacks.. dont worry bout it.. hacking in an MMO is tremendously hard

I have never what draws peeps to cheat. The god codes for DOOM where fun for like 5 min then your bored. Id rather be owned all day then just kil kill kill using a cheat. Go play duke nukem or something if you want to cheat better then paying $50 or so for the game and another $15+ month just to get banned for cheating.

you start by hiring a company that solely goes after cheaters. it has a HUGE database of know hacks, client hacks, third party hacks, and worse of all, 'wrappers'.

Punkbuster.

they can try to all they want to control cheating inhouse, but the fact is that the engine that Huxley is built on is a well known engine that attracts hackers/script-kiddies.

they will develope a constant flow of hacks for the engine, and thus this game.

the only thing that the developers can do is make constant updates that will potentially 'break' a good chunk of the hacks. but that is just about all that they can do.

if they were using a propriety, inhouse built engine, we would have very little to worry about. but since it's Unreal3, i'm telling you, within 6 months of release, this game will be completely infested with cheaters.

they NEED to hire Punkbuster.

they need to show that they are willing to do everything to make this game enjoyable to the public.

this could potentially be a HUGE disaster for the company. if cheating gets out of hand, no matter how good the game is, people will leave the game en masse.

Someone said they were going to run Punk Buster?
