*Sigh* Most of you guys have no clue how to stop cheating.

Networking Abuse

Standby

Get the netcode to detect when the host is not recieving any updates. Give it 2 or 3 update cycles (0.5-0.75s) before pausing the game and going to the blue screen.

If a host drops 3 times, change the host.

Bridging

Get each player to ping the other players. If a player cannot connect to the majority of players, give an error message about their NAT setting being too high, or something and kick them out the game. Bridgers can only connect to one player.

Get the XBL server to assign the host to a player, rather than initially giving it to a player, and switching it at stage 2/3. If a player cannot connect, he gets removed from the game.

Finally, if a player becomes disconnected from the host, get the game to check which side this problem is occuring. If it's on the host's side (i.e. the host is blocking the player), reassign the host. If it's on the player's side, disconnect him from the game after a few seconds (this prevents players from blocking the host to reassign the host to another player).

Suiciders/Betrayers

Simply make it so a player can only commit 3 betrayals and 5 suicides, or lose 5 points, whichever comes first.

Derankers

Hardcode the handicap function to be disabled in matchmaking. Fix suiciding/betraying (above). Boot players who are idle for 90 seconds (in slayer games)

Modders

Hash the map files, and verify their integrity when signing on to live. If an error occurs, tell the user to reinstall the downloadable content, and either lock them out of matchmaking via the software, until the maps are fixed, or prevent them from signing on to live.

Et al

Feedback system.


VERY GOOD POST

Also how about if your detected cheating you Gamertag is banned and you are unable to access any aspect of xbox live again with this gamertag.
Sure you can change your gamertag countless times but it all adds up in cash terms and each time you set up a new gamertag you have to start out from level 1 again - considering cheaters only want to get that high level this would probably annoy them somewhat.

Sounds good. We'll have to see how bad the cheating is in Halo 3 t hough.

P.S. - Warcraft rocks!
