On every PS4 BFV Japanese server, at least 8 players are using hardware cheats like Strike Packs and Cronus that removes gun recoils, turn SLR fully automatic and more at the same time.Oftentimes, these cheaters are stacking in squads as a clan and working together to quickly turn the game to a heavily lopsided one, making it end within 10 minutes.You guys at DICE should have already noticed this problem from viewing server logs.If this hardware cheating doesn’t get resolved before BF2042 comes out, it’s safe to say that even bots is not going to prevent lopsided games from happening.

@DeathRaven_1983 Cheating happens everywhere--and when it happens frequently, it can spell the end for a game. I think DICE & EA have gotten quite the eyefull of posts here about cheating. It cannot be ignored, this time.

@Lancelot_du_Lac Of course, "unending support" isn't a good business move. I'm talking about conveniently stopping support a few months before the next version comes out.

Your worried about no recoil on a platform that offers aimbot/wallhacks/ESP... Yeah I think you got it backwards there. BTW in BF with a mouse is like having no recoil vs a pad.@GRiPSViGiL You can outplay a £100 no recoil device how do you out play the above.

@1Hairy-Gorilla If they didn’t have solutions for PC cheating before announcing cross-play, they would have lost their minds.

This is gonna sound a little crazy, but I have to wonder if anti-cheating development is stopped at the end of a game's business life cycle, which basically has the effect of getting people frustrated and ready to move on to the next version. I'm not saying this is the case, I am not singling any game out in particular, and I am not making any accusations of any kind. This is just something that popped into my head and made me go, "Hmmm...."

Lol are you kidding me? They talk the good talk but you’re kidding me if you think DiCe really care about cheating.

One just has to look at their decisions and behaviors in this regard in the past. I remember seeing any interview once with a few of the “devs” about the cheating and they really did not care and almost seemed to encourage it. This was very obvious with their body language and comments. For one example they basically made fun of people who DIDN’T use macros and insisted it wasn’t chesting.
My understanding is their going with EAC? It’s been completely cracked. The source code got “stolen”…right “stolen”…
It’s going to a hack feast pretty early on mark my words.

@mal0mod0 Well No if there is one company for Anti-cheat its Epic they went after cheat makers and sued them what has EA/Activision done... nothing. Easy AC depending how EA use it will be a good system.

EA will only start taking cheating seriously if it’s hurting their sales in a significant way.
