I agree as being an older player who enjoyed the game to pass the time that it is almost unplayable. I started gaming in the early 80's on the old Delta Force games. I was in a clan that we would police our servers and catch cheaters. Also had my own server for Battlefield games and used to police it and kick/ban cheaters. I have only been playing for less than a year and I am not a bad player and learned this game by spending lots of time on the range to learn the guns and their firing patterns. in a typical TDM or Control match I can get 6 - 8 kills... in a BR match 2 - 4. Now with all the blatant cheaters I am starting to hate the game. Five of my friends have already quit the game and my grandson refuses to play it due to all the cheaters. EA must be really proud of what they allow (getting a kickback from the cheat coders maybe). There was a post in the forum a few months back by an EA admin... that said "we can't stop cheaters, play until the game is not fun anymore then quit". What kind of attitude is that?
I am a spreadsheet kind of guy and a data analyst... It should be really easy to gather metrics on those that have a high KD ratio, HS ratio and high hit probability to see that they are using some kind of tool. Spectate them and then permanent ban their MAC address... that way they need to buy a new hardware... There are several YouTube videos that show cheaters and the tools they use - start there, 2nd there are several (90%) of the Twitch accounts that you can spectate and you can see the crosshair movement of the aim assist in their videos. Many are Master and Predator level players. No one would watch their channels if they were not doing well.
Also, think of all these low self esteem kids that grow up thinking that "it is OK to cheat", "the only way to succeed is by cheating". All I can say is - Karma is going to bite hard one day... and GOD doesn't sleep. :-)
