Control is bad, here’s why

Control, even tho it’s a fantastic concept and should be refreshing to play, it’s not. Because there are to many cheaters that just ruin the game for everyone. Wall hacking and aimboting are common in control, when a team can guard your first base (A, or C) and know what exactly where you are when you hiding in a corner. That is the most frustrating feeling, to know no matter what you are going to die. It doesn’t matter if you see the shots go past you, and are clearly not hitting you, yet do damage to you. When you come up from the little stair well to A, or C in barometer and see two people waiting for you on the other end, and know there is no way you can win. Then after the match, when you see all the happy cheaters emoting, you can hear your teammate cursing at you, and yelling that everyone but them is trash. When you go to report them for hate speech, you can’t, because it takes to long and the game his kicked you to the home screen. You don’t need to get rid of control, just preform en exorcism first, to get rid of all the demons that have taken it over. (Get a better system to detect cheaters) or this as a mode, or a ltm, or a thought, will never be viable.

  • Though Control as a gamemode isn't flawed, what you're complaining is a whole different issue.

    This affects the entire game as a whole, a gamemode isn't just bad because of cheaters.

    There are always plenty of measures taken to battle cheaters, though there will always be breakthroughs on both sides.

    Even if cheaters are actively being banned, with Apex being a F2P game, there will be always a certain amount of cheaters.

    Certain regions have more, so switching to another datacenter could also help getting rid of said cheaters.

  • @BigMacAttack8u Yeah cheaters and smurphs are the #1 reason why control is bad. But control is also bad because of how its set up. The lock out system only encourages players to bully the other team and spawn kill them, (and lets cheaters get easy wins and kills because they can just lock you out and keep spawn killing), but there's also an issue with the guns you get and the maps. The guns, like the snipers, allows people to camp high up and shoot you whenever you try to take an objective and its highly annoying.

    I just got out of a match where 7 of the 9 players on the enemy team was using some kind of cheat. 3 of which were in a club, all using aimbot, wall hacks, and anti-recoil. They kept spawn killing my team to the point where the game actually went "Attention: Base camper detected".

    You know the mode needs improvements when it has an alert saying someone is camping the base.

    No one - and I mean NO ONE - should be allowed to camp. It should auto kill them for camping.

    @Midnight9746 I totally agree, if an enemy trespasses on a base, an alarm should go off, and they should get Thanos snapped away.

    @BigMacAttack8u Matchmaking just broke itself and put people into a control game WITHOUT filling out either teams fully. Since it was a 5 v 7 (one of the enemy Octanes left the match at the start, and they were the only player to have actually leave the match), the enemy team just took their base, B, and spawn killed us at our base. This was NOT fun and the matchmaking - including the servers - needs a heavy overhaul and rework so that they could actually WORK, no more excuses EA/Respawn!

    All the modes are also just flooded with cheaters and smurphs. Its so obvious when someone peaks you from behind a rock, already pre-aiming at your head when they were suppose to have had ZERO idea you were there, and they hit all headshots with a gun like a Wingman, or shoot you long range like a sniper, using an R-99. Its so obvious that no one cares about this game and its a shame.

    @BigMacAttack8uApex is the only game I've played for this long, (other than Minecraft), in which I've tolerated issues, bugs, server lag, cheaters, etc.

    Like for some reason I just enjoy playing the game. It just be nice if the game actually got the attention it needs, instead of being ignored.

    I also haven't spent money on this game since like Season 6, because its hard to invest in skins and such when they're not only overpriced, but also pointless when the game can just die any day now. Like, I didn't even buy anything during events besides Wraith's Voidwalker skin and one for Valkyrie. It just doesn't feel worth it, nor should heirlooms cost people $300-500.

    @Midnight9746 At the prices they charge, you would think they would turn at least some of that back into the game rather than shareholder dividends. EA you are greedy, and you really need to prioritize your revenues into making the game better.
  • EAC (easy anti cheat) is already one of the best anti-cheats your game can have. It's also pretty quick on the bans, too. the problem isn't the anti-cheat, its apex's "free to play" marketing technique that's hurting them when it comes to cheaters. think about it. lets say you get banned for cheating, no problem. it will take you less than 5 minutes to create a new email, steam account and EA account and get right back into a game lobby cheating. doing this repeatedly is no problem for the cheater, they will do it as many times as they have to if they know they can get right back into lobbies. Apex needs to make it harder, or longer, for cheaters to get back. so long, to the point where its just not worth the time anymore for the cheater ot make new accounts. because right now, its so fast and easy, its laughable. 

  • control is terrible. worst mode in apex history. and thats before taking into account that they cant even put the game together properly
