On Friday, Call of Duty's official update account, @CODUpdates, announced the team's most recent account ban wave, aimed at players using hacks, cheats, and exploits that undermine...
Call of Duty bans more than 14,000 cheaters in 24 hours::undefined
Games should make hacker servers or hacker zones where it’s free for all to change your game however you want it. I understand the fin in changing the gameplay of a game to make it new.
I would love a sneaky anti cheating system, where if you are detected the game behind the scenes starts making everyone else’s shot at you 100% headshots 😂 so there you are, trying to cheat, but you can’t get a single shot off because stray bullets are just homing at your noggen!
I love the hilarousness of the idea, but unfortunately aimbots can just auto-fire at the first pixel, while humans won’t even register that you appeared for “long” milliseconds. However, if the game can force other people’s shots at you then I guess it can also force your shots to miss.
Problem is, players reporting other players puts them along with the cheaters in the shadow ban servers. I’ve been shadow banned a number of times and it’s not fun and I don’t cheat.
That’s not why most people use these hacks though. They don’t want to play with other hackers, they want to use the hacks to give themselves an unfair advantage against people that aren’t using hacks so they can win.
The backlash was because of what it would’ve meant for the wider Windows ecosystem and is the reason Valve threw enormous amounts of time and money at developing Proton.
It was actually fairly similar to what Google now want to do with browser environment integrity in terms of being anti-competitive and anti-consumer.

It wasn’t really “anti consumer” though. As a consumer you don’t have a right to modify purchased software.
Did it suck for modders? Definitely. Are they entitled to be able to mod games that they didn’t make? No.
I’m not sure what you think was “anti-competitive” about it either?

Most of the stories going around at the time of “what it meant for the wider windows ecosystem” was just FUD though. Anyone could make and install any UWP programs they wanted to. UWP wasn’t restricted to only specific companies or anything, just like existing .exes aren’t. There was so much ridiculous lies being spread at the time, it was insane.

That’s been done before in Minecraft anarchy servers. The results are fascinating
What was the results?
Ever seen what a griefer can do to another players building? Imagine that but on a 100x larger scale
Look up fit-mc on YouTube, he has a ton of videos on the history of the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft.

Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.
Some already do. You have what’s known as “cheater ques” or “cheater lobbies” where cheaters get shadowbanned to only play against other cheaters
Problem is, players reporting other players puts them along with the cheaters in the shadow ban servers. I’ve been shadow banned a number of times and it’s not fun and I don’t cheat.
Lmao. Sure. That’s the reason

Matchmaking works best when as many people as possible are in the pool to join your match.
Having everyone in the game on the official servers is the way to go and nobody should be modifying the game. It’s unfair.
I feel like the suggestion is more about harm reduction. If you can’t get the cheaters to behave, quarantine them.
I’d rather the freedom of dedicated servers, playing how we want and long after they abandoned the game or disabled matchmaking.
Remember the backlash that Microsoft got by trying to do this with UWP games?
