Næsten alle store online-skydespil kæmper med at komme af med snydere, som hele tiden finder måder at bruge software eller forskellige kneb til at få en unfair fordel. Netop derfor lancerede Activision initiativet Ricochet for noget tid siden, et gigantisk stykke software der finder innovative måder at identificere og straffe snydere.
Tidligere har Ricochet blandt andet gjort at snydere ikke kan se deres modstandere, men nu kan den endnu mere. Som WCCFTech skriver mener holdet bag Ricochet at systemet er blevet meget, meget hurtigere og bedre:
"What we're getting a lot better at is the speed at which we can recognize when players are doing things they shouldn't be doing. When a bad actor is detected, we hit them with something from our mitigation toolbox (or all of them at once if we're feeling spicy) and analyze the data from the machine determined to be cheating. This is one of the many ways we can understand new bad behaviors and work to protect our games."
Og ved I hvad Ricochet kan gøre nu? Det kan tage våbnene fra etablerede snydere.
"Today we're sharing another mitigation technique from our toolbox: Disarm. Like the name implies, when cheaters are detected, we simply take their weapons away from them (including their fists). We don't expect many clips of this to find their way online, but we have seen it in action and the reactions from cheaters are always priceless."
Det er da meget sjovt, ikke?
