@BensatankkiCheaters are banned. We do not have the data on how many or how often, but EA DICE does ban cheaters.
As for whether or not you can trust it to be better than BF5, that is entirely up to you.
I can say that there have been no official announcements or press releases about the anti-cheat measures in Battlefield 2042. While that is disappointing to some extent, I would also ask what would you want to hear EA DICE say in this regard?
Firestorm was great, until it was full of guys driving the halftrack spraying the map alone with autoaim. In Battlegrounds you can get feedback after your report gets guy banned, in BF firestorm you just waste lot of time starting a map and then dying after 20 min on a totally clear cheater.
The report system is horrible, when you see a guy obviously cheating we want him banned right now. not 3 months from now, after he has already gone another hundred hours of just hacking away.
This is why rented servers with good mods is far better than some flimsy report system.
If we have to depend on EA to keep the cheaters in check then this game is doomed before its even released.
This is how I feel every time I use EA's reporting system.
The report system needs a complete overhaul and EA needs to communicate with their customers regarding if actions are being taken or not.
This way customers can measure how effective the reporting system is and have confidence that actions are being taken.
I've personally lost all confidence in EA and will be switching to PlayStation 5.
THEY NEED TO ATTACK BATTLELOG.COM.... but they wont. alot of content creator use ESP. Wall hacks. they sell cheats you can launch through BIOS. they are completely undetected cheats... unfortunately they will never spend the money or time to counter these systems. it just doesnt make sence with how tight they are in their budget plans. its avideo game yes... but more than that it is a company and the owners of these titles do not care. they take the money and run and set tight demands/timelines on there devs. the devs can only do so much. they dont like cheaters either.
