Valve on Cheating
Planet Half-Life has posted a message sent to the Half-Life server admin list by Valve's Eric Smith, about the cheat protection Valve is working on. Still not much they are sharing about that right now though,
Unfortunately, I can't give out more information. We're aware of the current problem with cheating and are working to find a solution. We play on-line and are just as frustrated by cheaters as you are. We're working to implement a long-term solution, and coding for that has already begun. This will involve many phases of attack. I'm sure you understand why I can't give out the specific details of our strategy. However, it WILL NOT be "a year or so" before we start releasing cheat-prevention code. We'll be phasing it in during future updates.
