Online multiplayer competitive games often face issues such as limited synchronization in gameplay physics, unforeseen latency, poor hit registration, and misuse of client memory. This is due to the decentralized systems that trust client applications, physics and reduce accountability. This paper proposes a server-centric networking system that provides real-time validation to detailed gameplay information, regular state updates, including vectors, and damage registration reports (Hitboxes). The system mainly focuses on state integrity through authoritative server handling like headless engine system, preventing unauthorized modifications even local clients can't able to change spatial details. It also enables servers to reject inputs about the movement and anyone can receive snapshots about the combat mechanics, improving accountability and server participation. And the prediction-based module using (CSP) Client-Side Prediction is integrated to simplify highly networked rendering of physics and provide access to gameplay data for high-latency players. The prototype is developed using Unity3D and Netcode framework, demonstrating improved synchronization and demonstrating efficient cheat prevention. Although currently at a prototype stage, the system provides a scalable foundation for authoritative networking.
