"will be state of the art and "on par" with other shooters."

The hackers will just make stronger cheat/hack programs no matter how many times you update your security. Perfect example go look at Combat Arms. Game updates hacks stop working a day to a week, later on hacks work again.

If big name companies would put as much money they put to DRMs,SecuROMs and etc to online gaming security, then gaming hacking probably wouldn't as strong as it is today.
Personally I think some companies don't even care about hackers long as they getting $$$. At least Hi-Rez isn't one of those companies.

Your always gonna have some Gamers jumping on servers and playing with cheats, aimbots, hacks, and exploits. It's never gonna stop!

BUT.....dedicated servers with a good anti-cheat mechanism in place along with ADMINS makes PC Gaming very fun.

free to play games like America's Army and Battlefield Play 4 free are not overrun with cheaters. Sure you can easily obtain aimbots for these games but cheaters are quickly Booted from the server and Banned without messing up the gaming experience.

Cheating is becoming more difficult as the most important info is stored on the server and your file gets "MD5 tool checked" or something similar (makes sure your file isn't altered) before you can play the game.

What's so fun about cheating? How do you get any enjoyment out of beating people when you're not even the one doing it?

Hi-Rez gives Tribes: Ascend an "Out of the Blue" Update

Back in March of 2013, Hi-Rez broke the news to its Tribes: Ascend fans that they would need to take several months away from the game in order to focus all its efforts on SMITE. Several months became more than two years, and fans were beginning to believe that Hi-Rez would simply never return to Tribes.

But the recent 1.1 update -- a.k.a. the Out of the Blue Update -- has proven those naysayers wrong.
