Crysis 2 Multiplayer Progression Part 3

On perks, "skill assessments," and dog tags. I was going to post the video, but f*ck it. If you've played any multiplayer FPS released in three to five years, you already know the gist.

Crytek talks cheating in Crysis 2

Hacking the demo was pretty easy. Crytek says that's because the demo didn't employ the anti-cheat systems that will be present in the retail release:

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.

A cheat-free community? Never going to happen. But we're only asking for a competent anti-cheat (meaning one with a reasonable detection rate and global bans). No one expects perfection.
