Re: New Year, so many cheaters

I saw the first cheaters back in BF2, it was a guy in our clan and PunkBuster spotted it. I had a great chat with the PB admins, they explained the reasoning for the ban. It turned out our guy was a real cheat (wallhack), he was booted from the clan. I remember see the first aim-botter on a Strike at Karkand map, so obvious. So yea, it's been a problem for a long time.

We need Server Admins (even a badmin is better than nothing), with tools.

And last night, on Redacted, there was a guy JUMPING around hip firing with the NTW-50 like it was PDW, it was a joke. He got 124 kills in a round, the next nearest high score killer was 26. I couldn't report the guy because the Social Tab never gave me the option to report him during, or after the round.

PB is completely outdated against modern cheats.

And one thing is for sure, that cheating will not decrease with any of today's AC programs, because the cheat distributors always find a way to get around them (How else, can these companies survive)

Therefore it has to be some kind of AI that can sort it out these, and it still won't be completely cheat-free, but probably better than today. Here you have some information about how Cheats and Anticheats work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwzIq04vd0M

@SpoolaZ Interesting video! This is the reason I've given up on PC and will only play on PlayStation with PC crossplay turned off.

I would play on Xbox too, but PC crossplay is forced on with Xbox.

I just did a full research on where they got it and apparently its a monthly subscription cheat they even share their coding on the forums publicly literally EA can do something about it but they don't want to. 


EA is just **** i guess hence they layoffs and Marcus leaving EA. guess it all makes sense, wish i hadn't bought this at full price, totally robbed of the enjoyment.

The new hacks these days are boring. Back in the day they use to have things like, rapid fire, enemy e-tags, unlimited ammo, players use to be able to fly around. Now it's just like some no recoil and wall hacks. BF don't need a wall hack you got the mini map and other gadgets to find the person.

I want to see unlimited rocket pods in the jet with no reload. Show me the real hacks!

I'm done with this game!! EA is incapable! I started with Battlefield 2, it continued BFBC2-BF3-BF4-BF1-BFV, I played over 1000 hours in each one. By pre-ordering the BF2042. We paid for the development of the alpha version..during two years! the beta version was being debugged and still the game is in bad technical condition. As for cheaters..anti cheat is laughable and manual reporting has no meaning !!.. During the whole game I reported at least 100 players... Over the years of playing I can already guess whether it is a skill or a cheater. Of course, not all of them probably cheated, but some of the ones I reported were 100% fraudsters..e.g. when playing not even 100, I throw the HS percentage well above 90 !! what do you think, did anyone get a BAN??..NOBODY! But when you report an insult in the chat... they hand out a ban for it immediately! Just write to the player who is from Russia and glorifies the war criminal Putin that he is not the brightest and he will report you and you will get a BAN for 7 days! Let EA introduce any bombastic continuation of BF, I don't intend to support this anymore!

@1201BCG  I remember when you called me a cheater lol

@BlackhawkEDOthat is also way easier to get proof of that - it is the chat logs. The cheating is most likely not so easy to tell if a person cheats or not. I do understand your frustration - though I will admit yes we have many cheaters here - but still think #1 problem is the delay of things - the fact that servers runs on cloud servers. The fact that there is no region control nor ping limits on servers. A high ping gives you advantage compared to a low pinger because of the way game servers work.
In this game there is dozens of ways to get you spotted. But report is all we can do. BF 2042 is no where near the problem we have in e.g. BF 5. I play BF 2042 a lot and if I suspect a cheater wrecking the game then I leave. But be carefull not to see cheaters all over - most likely the delay thing is the reason. If you have below 20 ms ping then most likely you will have problems and get punished on the server !

I mean, of course the servers are cloud servers, though. I hate player-hosted-matchmaking, where if the "host" leaves then the game freezes and everyone else has to wait for a new host to be appointed before the game restarts (if it doesn't break entirely). The servers should be running in a datacenter somewhere, whether they are ran by EA or by a 3rd party like in BF4 and previous games [which would be my preference].
