Valve recognise cheating problems
Planet Half-Life are reporting on a public confirmation by Valve’s Eric Smith that cheating is a problem with the Half-Life engine and Valve is currently working on a remedy…
Unfortunately, I can’t give out more information. We’re aware of the current problem with cheating and are working to find a solution. We play on-line and are just as frustrated by cheaters as you are. We’re working to implement a long-term solution, and coding for that has already begun. This will involve many phases of attack. I’m sure you understand why I can’t give out the specific details of our strategy.
However, it WILL NOT be “a year or so” before we start releasing cheat-prevention code. We’ll be phasing it in during future updates.
At last some promising news that they recognise what has been a very frustrating problem for many players.
