Crytek has also revealed that the multiplayer beta has given its team lots of data to analyze and most of these changes will be made to the online modes in the final game.
What's more, the studio has emphasized that the full version of Crysis 3 will have an extensive anti-cheating system that will eliminate anyone found tampering with the game via internal or external exploits.
"We are aware of the concern over cheating and want to stress that the Crysis 3 development team is committed to ensuring a fair and balanced gameplay experience for all our players. The Anti-Cheat detection system we’ve developed is performing well so far," the studio said.
"Two of our primary goals for the Crysis 3 Multiplayer Beta are to identify new exploits and refine detection to ensure false positives are discarded, to protect legitimate Crysis 3 players from being banned by mistake."
