Re: Cheaters are already rampant in Apex
We saw how EA dealt with hackers in Battlefield 4, Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5 by doing just nothing, and protect them with the policy of no name and shame and stupid temporary suspensions of the accounts.
Hackers hacking since day 1 are still there hacking. Many recorded and interviewed by youtubers months ago are still there hacking. Met many of them myself personally in my games (EU servers). Game is full of wallhacks, aimbots, damage modifiers. Its just unplayable at the current state and me and my friends now play BF5 less and less.
In Battlefield 1 hackers were given ONE WEEK SUSPENSION instead of instant permaban of their origin accounts, because EA thought that giving them a warning, they somehow reedem themselves stopping hacking and starting to play legit. They also stopped the naming and shaming in the game chat at one point after a massive ban wave that lasted 24 minutes long in chat. At the beginning there notifications like john1 banned because of cheating, then EA decided to remove the names, and the notifications became some generic messages like "2 people been cheating in the last 24 hrs". Then they removed the notifications completely, to reintroduce themeven more generic than before, months and months later after huge complaints by the Battlefield community.
In Battlefield 5 the cheating situation is even worse by far. Every game you find hackers wallhacking and aimbotting you behind covers, people that one shot kills with pistols. Hackers in in-game chat make fun of the community saying there is no anticheat in Battlefield 5 and they can do whatever they want and they will never ever get banned. Most of the ones i meet says they hack since day 1 and in feb 2019 they are still there hacking.
You just have to check Battlefield Tracker to see how many hackers are there. Just check top 500+ players for KD ratios or score per minute to see.
Left Battlefield 5 hoping Apex will be better in matter of hackers but i was wrong. In 2 out of 3 games i play i meet hackers. In a funny one i was wearing legendary armor and helmet, max shields max health, and a dude aimbotted and one shotted me with a ***** peacekeeper or whatever it is called. People jumping like crazy and aimbotting all of your team mates with single bullets even with advanced armours and helmets. People spotting you behind of covers, people pre aiming you when you-re not even visible on the map,
This game became a joke exactly as Battlefield 5.
And EA employees, stop saying you do care of the cheating problem, because clearly you dont.
