Oh give me a break!. I do not know anyone, that is cheating that you have ever caught. Literally ever, I am 51 and played BF, nearly through nearly all of them.
I think you for the really great times along the way. Really wonderful moments in gaming in their best moments.
I have never known, almost anyone, in real life and various forums, discord, etc. That has not posted outrageous cheating. That you have ever, done anything, about.
I even sent you some. You did FK all. I was standing next to my friends son when he obliterated everyone on a map once. He didn't care. He got bored with it. The irony is, when you are being outrageous and do not care because you are going to uninstall anyway, you can just be ridiculous. NOTHING happened.
On the player run servers of old, he would have banned, instantly by live admins.
THAT is the problem. Out of greed or incompetence. You killed off communities, player run servers/ clans and everything else. Ultimate self destruction. Apart from those of us who missed this? Can you keep doing something that will attract new players? My sons and their friends find BF really boring. It just isnt interesting to them.
Player run servers. Live admins and so on could have again built communities. It wasnt the games that were always great, it was the anti cheat live admins on servers than were motivated to preserve their player base. The only thing there which needed tweaking? Was that you could not blacklist, from your search, those clans that were known hackers and ran servers.
