EA doesn't seem to be keen on anti-cheat
The new season has not kept cheaters out; they are present in every game and are increasing in number as time goes by. From last season till now, not only familiar faces are still active in the game...

@DigitalHype Yep I would say this dude is a cheat - no doubt ! EA anticheat do work - but it takes way too long time.
@Col_Larsen
The in-game anticheat might 'work' in a sense that it catches known and freely available cheats that only idiots would use. But it does NOT catch the commercially available cheats.
Reporting also does NOT work. As I wrote before: I reported and even re-reported several cheaters and they are STILL playing MONTH after filing the first report. I know Dice CMs here claim it works and even post guides to 'How to report a cheater' pages on their website, but my experience with the approx 10 cheaters that I am tracking and re-reporting every time I run accross them on the battlefield is proof to the contrary.

@ForumUserwe need to return to running servers like in old days - where you were admin yourself. Just played BF5 underground 64 player map - private person hosted with rules - no shotgun no mmg - but most important no cheaters. Here the person that hosts the server and map - have the power to kick the cheater. This game was legit from start to end - and what a nice pleassant experience - this map and no cheat. Think BF2042 should be run the same way - vote kick - map votes and all the things we had before.
Very often when I report players I also say I did in common chat so person can see. They ask why and calls me all kinds of things. I explain why and very very often they leave. Would you leave if you did nothing wrong ?
Not sure how steam's VAC ban works - but that is a nasty penalty to get. Anyone know what penalty is here ? Just pop-up saying you are not allowed to play or are you ban'ed from game ? It needs to be a severe slap for it to work.It's almost like their afraid to do what needs to be done. They "EA/DICE" have been like this in all their past titles after BF4. I don't know what to say but it is aggravating to the utmost.
