Cross fire, South Korea and pro-gaming
In South Korea, PC gaming is part of their culture and a professional sport. There are gamers that get paid just for playing games like Star Craft.
SmileGate, the creators of Cross Fire are based in this country. I would expect them to create a professional game with plenty of good players and competition. I am sure it is so in Korea and that in CF Korea there is plenty of competition, fair play and no cheating. Why do I think so? Because the players are from the same country (so no Brazilians, Turks, and Poles kicking foreigners with Aces) and they have to register with their social security number so the chances of anyone hacking is close to zero.
However, in this Cross Fire, we have a 3rd class product. Look at the community we have (it’s a multiplayer game so the community affects it) and the way the developers treat us. The only thing they are interested in is to get us to buy z8 points so that we can buy the black market crates (which are a scam) in order to get gimmick guns with a different skin and some more bullets. The game is coded poorly and hackers have ripped this game apart and in order to solve this problem what do the developers do? They do a weak attempt to stop cheaters with X-Trap. Since X-Trap is a failure, they decided to introduce the mighty kick vote feature so if there are any hackers they say we can deal with them ourselves (less responsibility for them).
This is like spitting into our faces without showing any shame. Because of your decision or your inability to stop hacking and introduce the kick voting feature, hundreds of skilled players are being kicked for owning butt hurt average players. This is a great injustice.
To me kick voting is power in the hands of the idiot majority just like Western democracy is. We don't need this sort of democracy to be happy.
You would expect that a country with a culture of professional gaming would do it’s best to promote pro-gaming and protect good players from what is happening. But this is clearly not the case. My conclusion is that the only intention the Koreans have is to rip as much money as they can from us.
PS: Don't bother creating a working anti-cheat program without removing kick-voting because nothing will change.

ONe thing that stood out to me. CF korea doesn't have hacks? You have got to get your facts right sometime. -

I never said CF Korea doesn't have hacks. If one version of CF has hacks, all of them have. Our versions are just a differentiated product for different markets.I am sure it is so in Korea and that in CF Korea there is plenty of competition, fair play and no cheating.
they have to register with their social security number so the chances of anyone hacking is close to zero.
My point is that I'm sure that in CF Korea there are less cheaters, kickers and whiners and more fair play which makes the gaming experience more enjoyable. -

...This is an insult. Even china is ridden with hacks, and the chinese version is to chinese people only, like korea. And there are still speed hackers. Technically, we're less hackable than others, because korea has the most exposure to the real world, therefore the most amount of time for hackers to rip their codes out. -

uh no.
have you even ever played korean cf? -
uh no.
have you even ever played korean cf?
there would still be hacks, and most of the hackers here are falsely accused pros.
And my friend that currently lives here said he hacks his korean CF every summer holiday.
So yeah...he also tells me that there's a new hack called shoot through walls being developed, where he only needs to use the knife.
Plus, if you don't have the vote kick system, people will start hacking more since there will earn their EXP, so eventually, we get something along the lines of CA and stuff.
Just be thankful that the majority of hacks used (or accused of) are wall hacks, not like the shoot through walls CA has. -
South Korea has some of the strictest internet-fair-play laws. As for all that social security nonsense, it's not hard to lie, I would.
I vote for p2p disks! Go now, z8! I would buy it.
And, by the by, this guy is just raging because he got vote-kicked for the first time. -

Fine. though i still maintain the argument that you would NOT want to get rid of the kick system. Even though i've been kiked a bazillion times, i still think that we should have it.
