Delta Force Ban Wave

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the current state of affairs in the gaming world is both intriguing and disheartening. The recent saga surrounding the anti-cheat measures in the new free-to-play game, Delta Force, has left me scratching my graying beard in astonishment.

This period is exceptionally joyful for many, except for the 1729 gamers, who have been found guilty of cheating in the latest version of the free-to-play game Delta Force, and might find a chunk of coal instead under their tree this year.

For the sake of openness, Team Jade consistently shares information regarding our anti-cheat status, showcasing some rather alarming statistics.

Based on the most recent data, from December 20th through December 26th, the Delta Force security team issued a total of 1729 bans.

Absolutely, players are given a second chance for redemption: the bans in Delta Force are temporary, so after a decade of reflecting on their actions and making amends, former cheaters are allowed to return if they choose to do so.

415 cases of unauthorized direct memory access (DMA) shortcuts were prohibited, leading to 1323 computers being barred from participating in the game online from now on.

In addition to imposing account and hardware restrictions, the Delta Force security team thwarted 6,331 instances of suspected cheating on-the-spot and disconnected 15,608 players under suspicion. However, it remains unclear what specific criteria Team Jade uses when doling out a ban versus ending a player’s session in the moment.

Delta Force Anti-Cheat Controversy

Currently, Delta Force is enjoying a generally favorable review status on Steam, boasting 71% positive ratings. However, initially, it faced substantial criticism because of its implementation of kernel-level anti-cheat measures.

The game employs an Anti-Cheat system called Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE). However, certain users have pointed out that the ACE-BASE.sys kernel module doesn’t manage access control effectively, which potentially leaves a security vulnerability or ‘backdoor’ open.

Previous appraisals had pointed out an issue where the uninstaller failed to delete ACE while removing Delta Force. However, a developer confirmed that this bug has been resolved since December 6th.

In spite of the employment of robust tools for detecting cheaters, numerous gamers frequently point out their prevalence, particularly during gameplay in Operations mode.

Players who prefer a fair gaming experience often view extractors with skepticism, and it’s not uncommon for those transitioning to Delta Force for extraction to be wary due to the persistent issue of cheaters in Escape From Tarkov.

As per the main source of information about the game, more than 28,000 individuals were permanently barred from playing Escape From Tarkov due to cheating, between June 4th and October 25th this year. However, even with frequent clean-ups, the issue of cheaters remains ongoing.

In the territory known as AAA land, Activision is facing issues with cheaters in the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The company has admitted to less than satisfactory performance during Season 1.

Those seeking a more tranquil gaming experience won’t have to wait much longer. The gaming franchise, Delta Force, is set to debut its single-player and cooperative campaign mode called Black Hawk Down. This new mode draws inspiration from the actual events that underlie both Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and Ridley Scott’s 2001 film of the same name.
