New Cheaters on BF 2042
One saving grace of 2042 has been very low number of cheaters compared to two previous games. Battlefield V and Battlefield 1 seem to have cheaters in almost every match, unless you go to player host...

@SVND0WN One more thing we used to have, battle reports. We could see a trend of wins and losses, save a few of our best or worst matches with the scoreboard, who was there who had how much score and with what accuracy, K/D and such.
I don't see any conspiracy there that we cannot report players after the match, just lack of features, legacy features as they call them. I have no opinion really which AC is worse, just that when the Easy switched to EA and playerbase boomed briefly, cheaters came and they are staying. The surge has been noticeable in the last few days, not when EA AC launched.
Cheaters are back, try to keep reporting them. I've seen the same 100% headshot kills person on my servers late at night for 3 nights in a row now.

@TheNorthFIN why don't you just block that player? you'll never be in a match again with them, I agree you shouldn't have to but nothings going to change so you can do things to improve it.
- @IcylastEve The issue with blocking a player will be that if there's only one full server at the time you want to play, and this blocked person is in that server, you won't find a match and spend time in empty lobbies
- @RanzigeRidder2 Oh but if everyone agrees with you over time eventually the blocked folk will be the ones on the empty server. See Big Brain Thinking!
Praise DiceI haven't read anything about blocking players preventing them from being in the same server or squad as you. I'm pretty sure it just prevents you from seeing what they write in text chat and hearing what they say in voice chat.
I forget which company tried to add blocked players into matchmaking. I want to say it was Fortnite. There was a high scoring player that everyone blocked. He had really long matchmaking times because so many players blocked him. He complained to Epic and they ended up doing away with the whole blocked player affecting matchmaking idea.
*Edit* I was wrong, it was Overwatch not Fortnite.
"One of the best Widowmaker players in the world complained to us about long queue times," said Kaplan. "We looked into it and found that hundreds of other players had avoided him (he’s a nice guy – they avoided him because they did not want to play against him, not because of misbehavior).
"The end result was that it took him an extremely long time to find a match. The worst part was, by the time he finally got a match, he had been waiting so long that the system had “opened up” to lower skill players. Now one of the best Widowmaker players was facing off against players at a lower skill level. As a result, we’ve disabled the Avoid system (the UI will go away in an upcoming patch). The system was designed with the best intent. But the results were pretty disastrous."

Blocking does nothing but prevent them from adding to friend list and seeing their chat. They can absolutely join in the same match with the match making.
People are saying that you CAN headshot pilot and gunner from a helicopter. Yes you can, even in previous games. This person was playing on same matches on three separate days, every.. single.. kill... was a headshot. Never a bodyshot. The other cheater was using the NVK pistol, headshot me twice and 10 other people on the objective. 100% headshots, all on single fire, not burst.
Saying something can be done, yeah you can get 40-60 headshots in a match. Against bots, heck yeah there's always half a dozen bots in every match. This guy did it from distances and sideways movement that is not natural. Not even a second out of cover and boom, you're done. I've been playing Battlefield from BC2 but mostly from BF3 and so has my friend. We would know how it feels to be on the other end of a sniper rifle. Or an assault rifle, or pistol. Nothing but headshots, one frame deaths. This hasn't happened before and that's the difference.
Cheaters haven't been an issue whatsoever. I'm sure some there have been plenty, in 2 years and about 1,000 hours I haven't seen anything this blatant and obvious. Come back in a few days or weeks when you feel these people crowding back to ruin another game.
- All cheaters must be treated equally, it's not enough to just slam individual rage hackers and turn a blind eye to these closet hackers, who adapt their cheating to how the match and the opposition are progressing. The end result is the same, regardless of whether someone chooses to run everything in headshots or only to the body.Therefore, these pranks that other companies play with cheaters, who get caught, would be more than fair, so they get a taste of what they put others through.And these "cheat free" European servers, How many closet hackers are there on a single rage hacker, 5 , 10 or maybe they run in 1000's.Asia has its cafes with pre-installed cheats, then it's not so strange that the rage culture is more widespread there than here, since they don't have to bother, just start a new account and do the same thing again.
