People are cheating in Crysis 2 and Crytek isn't happy, but it promises the ban hammer is about to come down hard on those who are exploiting the shooter.
"We are currently taking steps to permanently remove exploits from Crysis 2 and to penalize those individuals that choose to utilize them," it went on to warn.
"We thank you for your patience and want to ensure you that we will continue to work hard to keep the integrity of Crysis 2 intact and cheat-free."
Crytek's has said it will launch a series of updates over the coming week aimed at fixing post-release problems.
Crytek released a patch over the weekend for the PC version. Among the most important changes were the removal of the auto-aim feature and the introduction of a cheat detection system. Get the full patch details here.

Good stuff! Cheaters are whimps, that's why they cheat.

And there is another patch coming, but there's more important bugs to worry about than the ones listed there, for example the AI, the nano catalyst bug and some objectives that do not let you progress after you complete them (killing myself didn't work so I had to restart the whole level and most of them occured near the ending of the missions, btw there's no Quicksave or reload checkpoint options, even though the leaked version had both)

Thank god as I swear this is why my KDR (sad I know) is below 1.00 as people are using aimbots and are somehow invincible, as when I'm shooting them from behind after sneaking up on them, empty half a clip in them, they just turn around and shoot me with 2 bullets and I'm dead. WTF is that all about? (And no they haven't got the armor ablility on.)
I know there is more skill to this game than COD, but come on, I have a very good 1.8 KDR on COD so I aint that bad. Why do the minority always have to ruin it for the majority? Just so they can delude the real gamers that they are good, when in fact we know that they are only cheating?
All of them should have their hands chopped off. M*********S!!!

Every game, more f**king cheating scum, on the one hand it is pants that every developer has to release patches for every game but on the other hand it must be hard to second guess the cheating gits.

Agreed.
If Islam extended their chopping thieves hands off to chopping cheats (in computer games) hands off, I'd convert tomorrow

Why are there exploits in these games from the moment they are released, BF, COD, Halo, Homefront, FIFA and list goes on and on, and now this.
It seems they do not test games anymore, Bugs are the norm now and everything pretty much is broken from the word go.
That's why I've given up with buying games until BF3 and Skyrim are released, I'm putting my money into a new rig starting off with the cash I have just got for my Slim 360.
I am not being a puppet for the games companies any longer.

The only punishment that is worthy of scum bags who cheat is to send an EMP signal down their Internet connection and fry their machines, they would think twice then! I hate the fact that we spend £35 - £40 on a game for it to be ruined by people who cannot play properly because they know they will get slaughtered without cheating. Do people actually go around a map in a game looking for things to exploit? I used to hate the Cock In The Rock on fuel in MW2, used to wind me right up!

I love Crytek, they're like this elusive company that very occasionally releases outstanding products and promises to nail all those who mess with them. Winning!

Played Crysis 2 once online a few days ago, looked awesome but recieved two kills at the end of a cheater. Empty two clips into him the first time from close range to the upper body and head to no avail. Will return online once Crytek have the patch out!
Anyways the SP is sooo frickin' good I'll be playing it constantly for months to come!
Cheaters suck. There are so many on all games on PSN, it makes me angry. Please sony get it sorted.

Seriously?!?!? You are s**tting me?
Why was this in the first place in the PC release?!?!

I have had troubles online on PS3, people not dying after I'm shooting at them for 30 seconds straight, then they kill me in 2 seconds, bulls**t. I won't play it online until they release the patch. And seriously, what the fcuk is up with the A.I errors and negative nanotech capacity? I'm on -3000 nanotech for no apparent reason.
I've recorded vids of lots of errors, including a floating car in Central Park, an alien running in circles for hours on end, aliens walking through doors, walls you can see through, and a guy getting stuck while walking over some rubble. I'm not even mentioning the enemies blocking each others paths either, which happens on every level I play. 2 idiots walking into each other, aliens and/or soldiers.

Crysis 2 has auto aim? Haven't seen that feature since Counterstrike. It was traditionally put in PC games to help gamers fight faster AI opponents but I'm surprised it still exist.
Maybe they could allow the cheaters to join the sessions instead of banning them. Kicking or banning them just let them use another ID or a different IP. Let them join but whenever they fire a shot, their body would blow up thus resulting in a suicide penalty. I'm sure losing points and ranks would be a good incentive for them to think twice to cheat again. KDR is important for these scums so let's deny them that and let them suffer the result.
Or maybe EA could develop a away that let servers to highlight the cheaters and give immunity for other players. Then, the other players can hunt the cheaters down with one shot kill. Again affecting the cheaters' KDR.
