Homefront Will Get New Patch With Anti-Cheating Measures

Video game publisher THQ and developer Kaos Studios have announced that they are planning to launch a new patch for their first-person shooter Homefront, with the biggest addition being a way to detect the players who are cheating in the multiplayer section of the game.

The official website says that the hacking and cheating detection will be accomplished using something called the DemoURL feature.

It will be used to allow all players to point to stored demo files in a server playlist, with those who do the administrative tasks on servers able to store demos and then look at them in order to find evidence of nefarious behavior on the part of some gamers.

Time is wasted implementing anti-cheat features. They will be bypassed in a few days - You release an "update" to the anti-cheat feature and it's bypassed in another few days.

Work on something bigger. S2Games Heroes of Newerth are server-side, so if a client tries to make a maphack it won't help him because he doesn't know what's on the other side of the hill untill he can see this himself by being on the other side.

It's not really an update to the anti-cheat system. It's the actual implementation of it since on PC, it's the admins that're supposed to keep their server clean.

I mentioned time is wasted on anti-cheat features. Instead of trying to limit the cheats for a few days, work on new systems to completely prevent it without hacking into the dedicated servers, which would be breaking a law and less attractive.

There is not one single anti-cheat that works. There are client-side games that are completely cheat free, read: HoN(S2Games). No anti-cheat will prevent people from cheating, every. It is a waste of time.
