Cheating Complaint (BF2042)

We have been facing the same three cheaters for almost four months now. I can provide video evidence, we have witnesses and people who are also in their Discord, discussing their use of cheats. ...

All i can say is...
Whilst the anticheat is slow off the mark
Just do your in game reporting AND encourage others to do so in game chat, the more reports in game seem to trigger a faster response for a ban.
example-Over friday/saturday just gone we had the same user-going 70/80 with 1/2 deaths just doing h/shots with the desert eagle, it took two days but they got a ban how long for god knows, even better when they got booted midmatch.

That there are cheaters who played for months without consequence is no more remarkable than many of these youtubers, who cheat to increase their subscribers.

Many of these have played for years without being banned, and the bigger they are, the less the risk seems to be in BF of being banned, unlike, for example, COD, where many have lost their accounts, but others side, COD can afford to ban and get rid of unnecessary players.

I watched a BF1 video, it was a tuber who only played with a pistol for a whole match. It was the first time I saw someone who probably had a pedal or button connected to the aimbot. He missed the first bullets and as he was about to die, his aimbot clearly snapped to the head.

Many of these also run around as if they see where everyone is standing, and when giving instructions to others, they usually say out loud, look at the mini map, mini map.

But on many videos you can clearly see that their pupils never go down to their own mini map.

Franchise needs an AI based anti-cheat.

  I think the anti-cheat works very well. I haven't noticed any cheaters in my 2050 hours of play.
  Instead, I have made the following observations. When I shoot at someone, it looks normal. If someone shoots at me, I always die immediately. From the opponent's perspective, he is immediately dead when I shoot at him and when he shoots at me, it looks normal to him.
  The servers are delayed. In the worst case, I'm already dead to the enemy when the first bullet just hits me. You really notice this in sniper duels. You want to move, but you can't because you're already dead. Or you're under fire, slip behind an object and die in front of it. You drive your vehicle into another vehicle and start teleporting back and forth. etc...
  The long delay results from server calculations, long distances between the few players, W-Lan.
  As a pc player, I notice this particularly strongly when I have activated crossplay. To minimise the cheating experience, I have always deactivated crossplay.
  What players can do: Deactivate crossplay and do not use wifi
  What EA/Dice can do: Reduce the number of players needed to start a match to reach multiple servers with shorter distances to players. Match players by ping.

    @ScamSimulator That's the horrible netcode in Battlefield 2042 for you in a nutshell. And trust me deactivating crossplay and don't play using wifi is not going to solve this. I play on PS5 wired to LAN with crossplay off with a ping of 9ms and I have the exact same observations as you.

  Here is an effective measure against cheaters:
  1. BF player name cannot be changed.
  
  2. Rewards for players who report and uncover cheaters (ranking system)
  
  3. Enable Killcam with simple reporting function
  4. Hardware Ban
  5. Optional: Oberserver officers, who monitoring the rounds
