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.
It's nothing new, it's been like that since BF3. They appear periodically and cause chaos on the servers through their chaotic gameplay.
It was also these that were found later on PB's ban lists, players with k/d around 0.5-1.3 and not high k/d players, as most want to believe.
Hi - also lets not forget the DMA cheat - now that is the extreme way of cheating - and think nothing can be done to detect those people.
When people are willing to go to those extremes - then .... I'm out of words. Constant race.
Though once again - will say I do not experience this very often - when I do - I wait - keep eye on person - and when I'm certain I report them and confront in chat and sometimes they ignore - other times they refuse big and some give me the xD thing. They give a * and dont care because it takes forever to get through the cycle to get banned.
When I suspect cheat and it's on the severe scale I leave server. I will still say what I see here in BF 2042 is no where near what I saw in BF 5. Crossplay should be removed - that can cause delay. Region control and ping limits will help on the delay problem - then there is this desync problem - list is long !
BF 2042 is still my #1 goto game when I game !
