Let’s pause for a moment. I'm not the one who started mixing.
You were the one replying to me across two different topics, not the other way around. The quotes you pasted are out of chronological order. Let’s put things in proper sequence so the situation is clear.
I wrote:
“The reporting system is completely useless against cheaters. This game is as dead as BF5. It’s crawling with cheaters. And the best part is that now cheaters can proudly stream themselves cheating, and people even applaud them for it.”
You replied:
“Well these cheaters must suck because I'm consistently on top of the leaderboard and they aren't in every match.”
I responded:
“Of course they aren’t in every match. But they are in some matches.”
-I made another reply where I accused a specific YouTuber of cheating. The comment was first moderated and later likely removed by admins.
You then responded to me in other topic:
“For someone that dedicates a good portion of their life playing FPS, I'm pretty disappointed in his gameplay. Was not impressed. If you think this is cheating, I'm not surprised every post you've had is just about massive amounts of cheaters.”
When you looked up that YouTuber, you may have missed the clips where he flicks with extreme precision repeatedly, on controller, with barely any visible hand movement. On his Twitch streams, he appears capable of maintaining this level of performance for hours at a time. I’m not arguing here about whether it is cheating or not — I’m simply pointing out that based on your reply, it doesn’t seem like you’ve seen the more questionable moments.
I then wrote:
“Do you feel smart throwing around accusations? So much for EA’s anti-cheat system. The whole gameplay can be compromised for a few dollars. But sure, he’s just a human aimbot who never misses, even after 10 hours of gameplay. I’ll believe that when red snow falls.”
-After that, I wrote emotionally in response to you. What you misunderstood is that I wasn’t questioning your performance. I was reacting to your sarcastic remark implying that I think everyone better than me must be a cheater.
I think some of the context may have been overlooked, which led to misunderstandings. Your fifth point suggests you responded quickly without fully reviewing the material, and then seemed surprised that I pushed back. You also misread my responses and jumped to the conclusion that this was about proving who ranks higher on the leaderboard. Let me clarify again: it does not matter whether you are top 1 in a match or not:
Based on my experience (and only my experience) there are two common types of cheaters (I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with)
1. Console players using hardware assistance for improved aiming. These players often still play objectives and function as team players, because without extreme tools like aimbot or wallhack, they still need positioning and teamwork to survive.
2. PC players using aimbot or wallhack. These players are typically not team-oriented. They do not need mechanical skill, because the software handles aiming and shooting for them. Their primary focus is getting kills rather than playing objectives.
Motivation-wise, I believe I’m right, even if logically it doesn’t exclude other possibilities. Still, this is how I see it, this is the pattern I’ve observed from them.
In objective-based modes like Conquest or Escalation (the modes I play only) the game rewards tactical play and objective control, not just kill count. Score is determined more by time spent capturing and holding objectives than by KDA alone. That is why in many matches, players with the best KDA are often placed 5th or 6th, while the top positions go to those who played the objective most effectively. In my experience across Battlefield and Call of Duty titles over the past 20 years, players using obvious aimbot or wallhack cheats rarely focus on objectives. They cheat to accumulate kills and feel dominant, even if the game mode itself rewards territory control instead.
This is why I think your argument “I’m always top 1” does not necessarily address the issue. Being top 1 in objective modes actually supports the idea that you play properly as a team player. However, cheaters are usually not concerned with what the mode rewards; they are focused on kills and personal stats. That is the distinction I was trying to make.
