Cheating in BF6, vibe check

Dice will ban them when the player count drops below a certain number hoping to get players to come back and its always too late.

It's difficult to tell. 

For me I'm not that good so I'm not at point where I can tell if someone is cheating. I used to think some ppl had walls but then saw how spotting works (no suppressor an you fire a shot and it highlights you in game with triangle and you on mini map, but they saw me on mini map or in person glowing (yeah the gun grind is insane. I think the starter mgun has suppressor since i support a lot, but nothing else). 

First off, the volume of players means a lot will slip through. BF 6 has numbers in co-current  matches that few FPS has. Even COD which could have those numbers don't have that all at once, but their issue is they have double standard to cheating, a bad anti cheat, and since 70-85% of player base has some game enhancing cheats (not counting ones that unlock everything all at once) and normalized attitude to cheating. 

So plenty will slip through the net. 

Some other factors

Some people are that good. They've played all the BF's and gotten good enough for BF 2042's run and gun play.  

Then there's netcode / hit registration issues. And while its not Xdefiant bad / fundamentally game engine broken (beta had it much less ), its bad where some cases you get a back shot and empty entire clip and they turn around and bean you 3 shot kill. 

Then there's some people defaulting to a far server like UK or US getting Timbuktu or Chile, or if in Chile or Timbuktu getting Hong Kong or US West. 

Then there's a gun meta (SMG's hit all ranges, accurate, little damage drop off @ distance), followed by attachments meta (some attachments get ADS accuracy at hip fire and since ADS is pretty slow (even iron sights) those hip fire ninjas can land 4-5 headshots just as you are ADSing. Shotgun hipfire @ 20 m or under still can one hit kill.

Then there's some guns that just suck, like at mid range to long AR and carbines (not as bad as AR) the bullet spread / bloom is insane, like those old school cartoons where someone is machine gunned but the bullets hit around them forming a silhouette of them when they move off the wall. Machine guns have it bad like damage drop off starts at 20 m . 

THe devs have acknowledged the issues (netcode / hit reg, bloom, weapons issues etc)

In COD it was easier to get good enough to tell if people where cheating (BF 6 just has so much more things going on so learning curve isn't as easy) 

console and controllers have something similar auto aim / a tap to spin and face enemy, so there's that also. 

I think cheating won't stop. There is no anti cheat that would stop all cheaters. I am done with battle royale right now.

I just can't understand why they make this free for everyone. That's like an invite for all those degenerates.

There will soon be a time when everyone has to log in with their ID card and ident procedure to gain access to an online game. 

Does it feel like there are more cheaters since the BR release or not?

I'm not quite sure but I have some suspicions since in some matches I got killed in smokes a lot more in comparison with my average. And I have neither lasers nor flashlights. But since I by myself landed some kills in similar situations with firing just in case, I'm exactly "not sure"

Do you feel like Dice is being transparent about cheating in BF6?

I do n0ot believe EA

Do you feel like cheating is the only way to have a fair match?

No

Should all cheaters that are caught be permanently banned from all Dice/EA games?

Ofc

Should anyone that uploads a video showing them cheating be permanently banned on all systems?

Ofc

I barely ever see people that I suspect of possibly cheating. None of them were particularly obvious. They could have been just really good at the game. I've yet to see somebody that cheated with absolutely certainty. At least in my region, I have no reason to believe it happens all that often.

Its a big business ... just search to buy them, you will see a lot of sites selling them.  Unfortunately we cant stop it. ... as morals in society degrade more people think its ok.

Its huge ... people paying daily and monthly fees .... sad really

At least 2 cheaters on each side per match now. Crossplay on or not. BR increase the amount of them.

Then you should check out Youtube and see all the examples and bragging going on about it.

Wallace its way more 8-10 each side.  On xbox you can see their fake profiles. They use cartoons ,dogs and cats as gamer pics. You start to see a pattern  of the same via their  friends. These are fake discord cheaters and accounts.  They also use very odd or weird names. Most of time implying something dirty  or mocking disabled people or stuff like tumors or cancer. You wil lsee them on every map  with  outlandish  kill ratios or 3-1 or 5 or 6 to 1. They are easy to spot.   If i can do it .  Then and AI or perso n can as well.    I been look at all the friends and profiles and have uncovered the same gamer pic of  a 1 of kind dog picture used by at least 25 so far.  They  are just sharing same photos via discord.   Ban them all

I play ALOT, recently stumbled into a quad RedSec game with a random 110% cheater trying to hide his walls with recon drone… he was so blatant cheating with his call outs, literally updating the squad ever 30 seconds where the enemy was… like downright silly obvious. The cheats are 100% in this game right now.?time to upgrade Javelin
