Cheating is almost always going to be an issue in games, especially free-to-play multiplayer titles. It's no longer a matter of if and when, but rather, what lengths a developer is willing to go through to make sure that there are minimal cheaters in their games. Although 343 Industries is not new to the video game industry, Halo Infinite is the studio's first free-to-play release. Now, 343 is learning just how quickly cheaters will overrun a game if your anti-cheat measures aren't powerful enough to keep them out.
343 is having a hard time with Halo Infinite cheaters
Halo Infinite's multiplayer got a surprise launch last week, which meant that cheaters weren't able to fully prepare for the game's release. Unfortunately, it hasn't taken cheaters long to find out how to break into what is effectively the game's multiplayer beta. Already, Halo Infinite is being swarmed by cheaters playing Halo Infinite on the PC. It's gotten so bad that players are asking to disable cross-play if only because the majority of cheaters are coming from the PC platform.
