Destiny 2 to implement anti-cheat software

Despite its many advantages, one of the issues with PC gaming is the fact that it can be much easier to cheat in games. While not an issue in single-player games, multiplayer titles with cheaters can ruin the experience for others. As a result, Bungie has now announced that Destiny 2 will soon implement anti-cheating technology.

Ahead of the upcoming Destiny 2 showcase on the 24th of August, celebrating 7 years of Destiny and giving fans a look at the future of the franchise, the team at Bungie revealed that “Our partnership with BattlEye will soft launch next Season. Just another step toward a level playing field for all.”

BattlEye, self-described as the “THE ANTI-CHEAT GOLD STANDARD”, has been used in many games including ARK; Rainbow Six: Siege; ARMA 2; Insurgency; PUBG; Fortnite and Escape From Tarkov – to name a few.

Destiny 2 has struggled with issues of cheating in the past, with the developer Bungie even previously advertising a position for an anti-cheating Data Engineer at the company. It seems they ultimately decided to partner with BattlEye. It will be interesting to see what the team has to say on the matter at the upcoming Destiny showcase.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
