Final Blog Post



Hello,

The final experiment was completed and a report was written up for this module's submission. A few things stood out about this project when going over the results, one main issue being the scope of the project it. It works on this level but to fully understand if this system is of use for its purpose then I would have to change it and implement it with a much bigger test group.

At this small scale it works which is promising for the future however with only 15 participants its hard to tell how effective it would be on a larger scale. Another issue that came up was with the release of newer consoles and technology the systems being used today are always updating so further analysis would have to be done.

The system built is very simple as its meant to produce a way to reduce the amount of work/time it takes to find negative players online however with the issue outstanding that most player just tend to ignore the negativity of player online or just don't bother to report the issue of finding these players will still be a difficult thing to complete.

I would like to take this project further however I believe the scale of the project for one person is far too grand. Although at this level my system works it doesn't fully show how impacting this system could be in the real world which is an area that needs work in the future.

Titanfall

Hello,

If you're a PC player who's breaking the rules in Titanfall, you'll still be able play the hit sci-fi FPS. But Respawn's going to put you on a time-out with the other bad kids.

A student on the Mprof forwarded me this link, its a very interesting way to deal with player and just shows that as games progress developers are trying to find new ways to conteract this negativity found in games...

However I don't think this is the best way to do it in my opinion because they are punishing the friends of people who haven't cheated as if they were cheaters also.




​Titanfall Has A Special Kind Of Hell For Cheaters
