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...
My problem is not any cheater. My problem are those thousands of new players since the end of season7. After that season there was an update and from this time on, you get killed instantly by headshots on and on from lowlevel-players with their M5A3 (sometimes AK24). They kill me several times in a round from the strangest positions. And im not a bad player (S548). But at the end of the match they have a k/d from around 8/9 and they are never under the top 32 players from their team. I checked around 30 suspicious players on Bf-tracker and their overall k/d is around 0.8-1.2. Not only i discovered this behavior, some players from my gaming community have the same issues with players UNDER level 20. Everytime i try to contact those players via the ingame chat they NEVER answer. And NO friend request is being accepted.
So we came to this 2 guesses:
1. There are really a lot of new players (after the end of season7). I dont know why so many players are starting 2042 now, nearly at the end of 2042s lifetime. But if this is a fact, those players MUST have a headshot- or a ttk-boost. So its easier for them to get kills
OR
2. Dice implemented new AI-Bots(with EA-Accounts) that only try to kill highlevel-players (like us) and get easily killed by lowlevel-players. I have no other explanation why all those players have a k/d around 0.5-1.3.
I'm still not totally convinced that there is not some Skill Based matchmaking going on. Don't get me wrong there are cheaters in the game but something else funny is going on here.
