Cheaters

Just a genuine concern for cheaters moving forward. I know that there was a mention on how cheaters would be delt with in the recent blog post on what's to come but I just want to know if there will be any actual progress on the current situation with external adapters like Cronus Zen, Titan Two, and XIM Matrixes. Playing in higher ranks in the ranked playlists, for legitimate players its almost impossible to even play the game. When you spend countless hours practicing and trying to actually increase your skill but then a cheater just swoops in with OBVIOUS cheats it just makes the game totally unplayable and makes me consider if its even worth playing the game at all in general. I feel like the cheating discussion always gets talked about briefly in news posts but I just simply want to know the steps that are being taken currently on how you plan to improve this.

    Hey SharkBoy102702​,

    Fair question and an excellently timed one at that! 

    We've just released an update on this, focusing on the exact devices mentioned (among others). Feel free to check it out here and thanks for the continued feedback and concern!

    So you eliminated maybe 5% of the cheaters and we are somehow supposed to be happy?  The 2000 banned from console were using inferior macros that are quite easy to detect. Every match. Every mode. I guarantee running into at least 2 that are still getting away with it. I report enemies. I even report members of my own squad when I know they are cheating.  On discord, the cheating community is laughing at you. At this point, you might as well give up and give everyone the ability to “cheat” without any third party hardware. In 7 years you have done nothing to really improve the situation.

    The game is overrun with low-level accounts with AIM levels no one else normally has.

    Is that how you resolved the situation? No, it's not any better. Wildcard at this point needs to be removed because it's a kingdom for cheaters.
