Thank you EA for banning cheaters!
A few disclaimers before I make my points. First, I love BF2042. I've played it for many years and have reached the S675 level. The many, many positive aspects of the game outweigh the negatives. ...

I think the best solution is no PC crossplay with console players.
I kinda disagree with this, I think the anticheat needs a buff so it detects more things than it currently does, But it would also be helpful if EA lists what software is currently forbidden from being loaded so that we don't get these "I was falsely banned" threads too.
IMHO We shouldn't be segregating the community just because some dirty cheaters can't help themselvesMaybe you're right LOL. But keeping a list of forbidden software is like anti-spyware where you invest a lot of time, money, and manpower to keep searching/exploring for malware (cheats). I think it would be a huge investment. I don't know what the solution is unfortunately.
Another problem is the true cheaters vs those users who have been falsely accused. Basically, they say the same thing. "I'm no cheater! I've never cheated in my life. I don't even know how to cheat. I was valedictorian. I'm an angel." Now this puts EA into the seat of judge and jury having to argue with every alleged cheater. Tough place for EA to be.
If EA put 10 dollars of budget into the judge/jury position they could have somebody verify the anticheat by looking at stats. accounts with 1000 hours and 15 year history and consistent 1.3 k/d aren't cheating. Tons of us getting banned nonetheless, and appeals denied, having no clue how we could have possibly cheated.
Let everybody decide for them selves. Hackers and cheaters are pure trash.
LOLGotYerTags Battlefield 2042 was the first title in the franchise that had crossplay. Until then the community has always been segregated and this has never been an issue.
Segregation by choice I was referring to, Games prior to 2042 didn't have crossplay because those games weren't developed around it and the tech for crossplay wasn't even fully there yet.
The engine has to natively support it to allow it to be used and up until 2042, It didn't support it.
If EA promoted a "Console Only Thursday Night" or something like that, users on console would know when to turn off cross-play. That would be SO WONDERFUL!!!
