I have been playing BF- games since day 1. I have played every single one for thousands of hours total. Untill BF5 , it was unbearable to play with the cheaters. There is no point playing. So Now after not playing BF for a year I am very reluctant to buy new game if it is also unplayeble because of impotent report system. How can I trust it to be better than in BF5
Get BattlEye anti cheat just like destiny 2 did lets get it.......
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.
@OskooI_007 Fact you can't talk about either cheating or anti-cheat tells all imo.
If we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist :P
Its a marketing thing because of Warzone yet they say nothing, well they havn't said much of anything on a game launching next month either. Activision gets it bullet point Vanguard getting "new anti-cheat" prob 1 guy looking at reports but they acknowledged it.
@ElliotLH I get the name and shame rule that's on every forum that's not the issue. Its just a bad look locking any thread that talks about cheating in general and the lack of Anti-cheats. Why not allow a megathread for it? You know this will become the main topic due to crossplay next month.
@ElliotLH Not to be rude but isn't that why you pay mods? Temp bans for those who break rules ect. Activision has poisoned the waters when it comes to crossplaying with PC, so all I can say is good luck to your mods when it launches hehe.
