Respawn Locks Titanfall Cheaters Into Cheater-Only Servers

Respawn has thought of a novel way to sort out its cheating problem in Titanfall.

Rather than kicking them out of Titanfall permanently, they just get lumped together in cheating servers, in what Respawn calls the “Wimbledon of aimbot contests”...

Users hit with Respawn’s mighty banhammer of justice will have a ‘FairFight Cheat detected” message pop on their lobby screen, letting them know that they’ve been banned from the usual servers.



The FairFight detection technology has been busy eyeing up the cheaters since launch, before EA offically began enforcing it a couple of days ago. For those curious to exactly what happens when justice has been served, Respawn make it pretty clear: “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.”

The thought of running around having a shootout with other aimbot users sounds thoroughly depressingly, and as such sounds like a fantastic way to deal with the little blighters. Hurrah, hip-hip and all that.

Don’t worry about being guilty by association either - Respawn has said that while partied up with a cheater you’ll be banned from the normal servers but you won’t be permanently ‘tainted’, free to join the normal folk once you leave the group.

Like Respawn’s tactic for dealing with gaming’s dark underbelly?

Have you been subject to the cheat servers yet?
