I've mentioned this before but I would again advocate for a subscription based FPS with a seriously low subscription price - then ban people by CC number. Sure, some people can infinitely cycle CC numbers - but most people can't.

The farmers will continue to find work-arounds if farming is profitable, but honestly, wtf is farming doing in an FPS - that's a bad design decision. Just let people play the game and enjoy stand alone sessions.

World of Warcraft, a $15/month sub also has to invest heavily in anti-cheat to the point Bruce Schneier has weighed in on it [1]. I'm sure it reduces cheating more than it would free-to-play, but I don't think what you're advocating is a silver bullet.
