Q.) So what happens if I get banned?
A.) Great news: you get to keep playing Titanfall! Less-great news: you only get to play with other cheaters. You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck.
It's a great idea with the best solution for cheaters (they still get their game), as long as cheaters can mend their ways and get back onto normal games. I know a kid who jailbroke his school iPad without realising it was against T&C's and has lost the warranty etc. There'll be some folk who'll see a mate cheating and take it up without paying attention. T&Cs may forbid cheating but no-one reads them. The fair thing is a temp ban and chance to play fairly, with only a perpetual ban for repeat offenders.
I think any society with a 'one strike, you're out' policy (shy of capital offenses) would be looked on by outsiders as fairly unjust. If we had that policy here at B3D, we'd have a very quiet forum!!
I agree with you -tkf-. These cheating bastards don't deserve any special consideration imo. They need to suffer the consequences of their choices.
And in the world of gaming, it's the price of a new game , insane punishment
The thing that pisses me the most, when i play someone in anything, and they beat me i have zero issues, i only have myself to blame. But when cheaters are among the players then everyone is suddenly suspected of being cheaters. And that is imho the worst part. Suddenly i start to question those that i might have considered pretty awesome players, are they just cheating?, you check the death cam a bit more intense, impressive aim so far away where i couldn't even kill him though i saw him first..
So those that invest the time and really has the skillset are among those that suffer the most, they aren't really rewarded.
Yeah, true. Same happened back than during the Gears 1 days...where some players got praised as unbeatable shotgun dancers...until everyone found out about the host advantage...after this, every good player got accused as being the host...
There's supposed to be an improved matchmaking playlist that does a better job of matching skill now.
I honestly find the regeneration thing is not a good indicator of player ability. We've rolled some teams of guys that are all double or triple regenerated, but we've got one guy who is 50.
