Cheating is inevitable in an online game and especially in a beta. Devs can only do so much without completely invading players privacy and fighting cheating is most of the time a reactive battle.
Bf3 and bf4 also had plenty of issues with cheaters as well and if you open battlelog (yes it still exist) and read the forums, most threads are about cheating. Fair fight wasnt exactly the top of the anti cheating tools either. I think you just have forgotten.
This beta is not better nor worse than any previous title but the net code in the beta is not great so many deaths feels like something is off when its not. Turn on performance graph showing damage stats and you will see many (most) times you are hit where the netcode is having delta tick issues. Result is that you feel it as one shot or shot after you get into cover when you in fact was shot by 3-4 shots before you got into cover.
If it bothers you so much then the best solution would be to stick with single player games. No cheating there at least.
Cheating in online multi player game should bother everyone , those not bother by it probably doing it their self or not into the game at all . I play both single player and multi player games , so nothing bothering me beside companies destroying their IP ,In which some IP have a major follow and BF is one of them for me and many others . Been around for awhile now and many of us grew up on it.
Anti cheat not made for fair fight but fair game , No such thing as a fair fight really unless agree on a fair fight in game ex: hand gun v hand gun or fist vs fist etc , no gear or buffs etc and so one.I never said anti cheat was made for fair fight . I said I rather lose to skill player then to a cheater . I know it a beta , beta I am not worry about since it here to find issue etc .I was more concern about main release and how dice/ea going to handle it .Since it seem their engine wasn't the best compare to other company's . Though in the end they all depend on players to report the issue then have a system to seek it out .
Turn on performance graph showing damage stats, I look for this and couldn't find it in my setting .I know hit box is little off feeling at time and some items might be more op then others .Others learn where keep that cursor mark for fast kills /headshots . Sometime it just connecting and other might have that split second more then you . I die plenty of times behind cover when I was outside of it for moment .Lag sometimes hurts some people lol , there was some lag issue with beta . So hope that also a issue fix during final release .
I know battlelog still around , I still use it random moments when I get a itch for olders games, Only way to join a server for some of them .
Everyone know is they allowed cheating to much and can't handle it , no one going play it mostly after what 2042 did to us .
I hope you enjoy it and all , not sure if this game made for you or not . But see you on battlefield ,if so !
