While a match is loading, have you ever checked out the player ranking for the game mode you are in on the splash screen? You have only a few seconds so you have to scan it quickly. If this list of "winners" is any indicator of the game's integrity, we are losing the war to the cheaters. These opportunistic terrorists are alive and well within the ranks in the same army committed to their eradication.
While many of the top players are truly legitimate, several cheaters boast proudly with in-your-face names like: IOPKREPORTME, IHAXTOKILLU, GLITCHANDROLL, to name a few past and present. Ethical players work hard as cheaters hack, glitch, OPK, tank, and cham their way onto the same list. "Catch me if you can" is their game instead of Combat Arms.
And if that is not enough, players and clans see fit to create names that are racially offensive or make the porn industry rise an eyebrow and jealously lament. While most of us are against censorship in most forms, we would readily agree that vulgarity and explicit sexual references just aren't required for game play. Nexon's creation appeals to the young and old. It not only has a challenging and fascinating environment with which to play in, it also has an extensive social network. Few online FPS's can claim the caliber of Nexon's efforts.
Although an avid CA participant and clan leader, I realize I have little control over the prolific breeding of these cheaters, haters and porn geniuses outside a room in CA, however, I can control what happens once they enter. As an EM, I have decided to rise the bar towards Nexon's intended standards: players whose names contain explicit cheating or sexual references will not be allowed to stay. My message to them is simple: "Respect the game and other players. You wouldn't drive down the road with I'm a speeding drunk driver painted on the side of your car, so why enter a room full of strangers and inform them you cheat, who you hate, or favorite sexual interests."
Nexon has created wonderful product and environment. As EM's we should continue to join together to preserve the high gaming standards and social environment that the designers created. Send a message: players with whose names explicitly announce their favorite cheating skill, least like race or sexual abilities must find another room. Hopefully, many soldiers will equip themselves with Elite Moderator and dominate the channels and encourage this game's undesirables to find another online game to terrorize.
