New Year, so many cheaters

In a similar way I started taking screenshots of when I report someone.

For example:

One guy had a swastika in his player picture in-game, so I reported that. You can add a comment when you report people, so I always write directly why it is I’m reporting someone.

Another guy had GET REKT written in his player photo.

Yet another had an image of a soldier urinating, clearly meant to be urinating on you as the person killed you.

Looking back over the screenshots of my reports I noticed that I’ve actually reported the same people twice with some months in between.

This tells me the following:

Either DICE/EA has not bothered to see the reports at all, or the person got told to switch to a non-offensive player picture, which might have happened, but then the person just switched back to the offensive picture.

I have a feeling it’s the first scenario that is correct, i.e. nobody cares if you report someone for their player picture. It doesn’t matter if it’s a swastika or whatever - DICE/EA does not have as priority to check who’s being reported and act on it. Despite their fine words about safe gaming environment and so on.

WOW. Those are some extreme examples to report people 

Lot's of low level players just beaming everyone and not taking damage. That could be partially due to this abysmal hit reg we have, but on the other hand, are they able to manipulate that too somehow? It's been consistently low level players with roughly 30 hours in the game. I'm sorry, but you don't get that good that fast.

The other day some streamer was doing the same thing to me, but they had a higher rank with more time in the game. I'd anticipate where he'd peek from, and I would die before I would even see their character, even when I was complete anticipating them while head glitching.

I then checked out their stream, and everything looked legit, but still I don't know. You can use cheats while streaming and not have them show. I don't think this particular streamer was cheating, but clearly had the better connection for that round. That's the biggest issue I'm noticing. If there's a way to manipulate the network to your favor, that can be a huge advantage. It was a huge problem in Destiny 2, and ultimately why it became unplayable.

To be clear D2 is Peer to Peer, but there's this distinct feeling when people were using VPN's and inducing huge amounts of lag while also being the host somehow. You'd barely see them, and if you did, you were for sure dead already. They wouldn't take the correct amounts of damage, they'd move in weird jerky like movements.

Unfortunately, I don't think they do anything against cheaters.

These stats are from a cheater I reported more than a month ago, I still get matchups with him a few times a week.

He has over 35,000 kills, I have reported him many times already. I can't post names here so I can only post stats.

It's really frustrating that they don't care about their players

I'm not too too tech savvy, but are all cheats detectable? It seems sometimes the automatic anti- cheat system detection doesn't pick up the cheater. But, then once there is a manual look into it does become detectable.

One of the best assets is to just report the person you suspect of cheating and it gets looked into.

@D-Man3847 you know why manual report doesn't work anymore ? Because lot's of clueless / noobs call for cheat all the time for nothing.

I get called a cheater (so reported aswell i guess) in maybe 75% of my games in redacted, i can't imagine the number of useless report are sent to EA / DICE

=> and NO i don't cheat or use anything but people are CLUELESS, as soon as they see a big score

Therefore i can't imagine how they can manually check every report, it's only ea anti cheat that ban i guess

Funny thing, as soon as i propose them to come to official 2042 discord so i stream for them they say "i don't care"

=> yes only clueless people that can't accept to have sometimes better player than them

Cheating on redacted conquest is absolutely ridiculous. 

There are so many cheaters it is unbelievable, there is at least 1 if you are lucky. Most of the time there are several on each team. 

It completely destroys the gameplay, you just end up spawn trapped and the round is over in less than 10 minutes. 

It seems like at lot of people just want to stand there like mindless monkeys doing nothing but spamming nade after nade and shooting people in the base trying to push out. Became that is what it leads to. 

For the love BF DICE, please update your anti cheat.

Why did punkbuster get ditched? At least cheaters got kicked from the game and banned.

There were cheaters in BF3 and BF4 but it was nowhere near as bad as it is now. It was hardly an issue in BF3 and BF4. 

What happened to server admin?

Cheating has always been a problem but since BFV it is like you don't even care and EA doesn't care because cheats also drive sales with many cheaters buying at least 2 copies of the game so if one account gets banned they have another. Then they just buy the game again when the other account gets banned.

How about adding an incentive for players to report cheaters? Every successful ban of a cheater that someone reports, reward them with 5 battlefield coins or something. 

Some people are able to react, move and shoot so fast it’s hard to understand how it’s possible at all. 

Those guys get accused of cheating all the time.

A close quarters map like Redacted is exactly the type of map which the above people enjoy playing on.

So keep this in mind before accusing people left and right of cheating.

PS. No, I’m not saying 97% headshot rate isn’t cheating.

I’m also not saying there are no cheaters on Redacted (or elsewhere in BF2042)

I’m just saying there are some crazy good legit players out there.
