If you feel like you may have encountered a cheater in Halo Infinite multiplayer, then you might want to read on.
In its latest developer blog, 343 has gone into detail about the anti-cheat system in place for its latest release - outlining many of the strategies it has taken to minimise cheaters in-game. If you don't have time to read up on it all - in short, the developer remains "committed" to the cause and won't wait to deliver updates that put a stop to cheating:
"We are committed to continuously improving our anti-cheat systems and strategies. We added a few improvements in our mid-season update and we will drop updates to address cheating as soon as they become available (rather than waiting for another large patch to ship with)."
Something else 343 is looking into is a requirement to play a certain number of multiplayer games before players can queue for ranked games - stopping cheaters from simply creating new accounts to evade enforcement actions:
"One way that we’re adding additional friction to people creating new accounts is introducing a requirement to play a certain number of multiplayer games before you can queue for ranked games. We’re currently planning to set this number at 25 games – though that may change before we enable this – as we think this not only to keeps the player out of ranked for a while but also gives our other systems a chance to detect them as a current or recurring cheater. We expect this will also help new players find their footing in social playlists before they jump right into the more challenging Ranked experience."
Players of Halo Infinite's multiplayer are encouraged to continue reporting cheaters via the Halo Support site at aka.ms/HaloReportAPlayer.

They could always let console players turn off crossplay with pc 🙄
If they can find a way to combat the 'Anti-Content' system then I'm all ears.
I definitely support the 25 game minimum. That would help a lot.
But reality of it is: how bad is your life, how bad is your male inadequacies, how much of a loser are you, how small is your...controller, how many hugs will it take make up for parents not loving you, how long has it been since girlfriend broke up with you, how many lockers you stuffed into in high school, how uncomfortable is that gaming chair in your mom's basement, that you have to cheat at a freaking video game to feel good about yourself?
Like really. C'mon man.
This is more or less how Overwatch does it, in Overwatch, you have to reach level 25 before being able to undertake your 10 Ranked placement matches, and it takes a fairly long time to hit level 25 in that game (several hours, I would estimate 20, but that could well be an underestimate). Having to play for 20 hours just to be able to enter Ranked matches, probably puts off the vast majority of cheaters...
Having not played Infinite's multiplayer (though I absolutely loved the campaign and smashed out a Legendary run) I'm not sure how long it would take to do 25 matches, though it sounds like something that could perhaps be done in an evening or two. Whether that is enough of a deterrent, I'm not sure. To some it will be, to others, it might still be worth it...
Come on, just give us some content! We’re bored out of our minds with the same stuff since December… we’re going into April now, for crying out loud. A map, a weapon, a classic mode missing at launch, anything worth it! As much as i applaud and welcome these changes, this is not what we need right now or on the top of anyone’s list 😒
