I'm divided as to whether to be optimistic. On the one hand BF's competition seems to created a significant gap in terms of effectiveness and DICE runs the risk of looking dated and weak so that is a major driver for them to step up and get back to parity with its contemporaries.
On the other hand you have the massive data leak which EA seems to downplay but that could very well be corporate smokescreen. They also had the fiasco with Titan Fall servers that from what I understand we're basically knocked out for an extended period of time by one person. My thinking goes that EA has to tread carefully in combating the cheat makers as if they have nothing to lose then they might just pull the temple down on their heads and hit EA with a massive attack.
One thing for sure is that there will be strong demand for cheats so I'm hoping that EA/DICE will utilize innovative techniques to combat cheaters.
