@Xubunnytwo I would add abnormality detection, which would flag an account if it happened repeatedly.
This would contain:
Detecting if you are snapping by comparing how fast you turned, with how much you turned, and see if it lines up with your settings.
Aimbot detection, detecting a sudden increase in skill (over a long time) this would also prevent boosting.
Detecting whether a shot is possible or not by detecting where the enemy was pointed, and basically drawing a hypothetical line so where a bullet would hit.
These would be hard to code, but it seems like it would be possible.

@BigMacAttack8u I believe line of sight isn't all that difficult to code, just a question of what the developers are willing to do. Most of these companies (not just this one) use EAC as a crutch and they need to incorporate changes within the client and server side software.
@reconzero I agree that making the PvP more strategic would be a great focus. My lodger told me, since the software uses image shape detection AI, you could liter your map with human shaped targets such as statues. We spoke about this briefly before he went to bed. Maybe you would have players thinking the statues are people, but so would the AI. Then it might kill more stone figures than players making it useless?
