and this has only been over the last 2-3 days. people don't just start insta head shotting suddenly like this.
a new cheat has been released/update to an old fav and now the game is infested with cheats and unbalanced games, every game is unbalanced full of cheats now or just straight up unbalanced games.
Unplayable now and the devbs need to make official comment on this now.
Not only this, but they need to add at LEAST one week to the season after rolling out a fix. That is to say freeze the season UNTIL the fix is out, THEN add more time for the regular players.
I lost a week of play now it looks like I won't be able to unlock the EOD trash or get the 80 token challenge this week, which pretty much means I don't get everything in the secondary battlepass because some person who doesn't understand good game design thinks putting 80 tokens on one thing is a good idea.
They see you miles away, they shoot you and in half second you die, I’ve seen people have 50 kills and 0 death in Cairo bazar. Cheats + unbalanced matches + low ttk (base game it’s like hardcore mode) + zero recoil and fast bullets wapons = game is unplayable, most of the times it’s only frustrating and not fun
I cannot believe I was arguing the oposite point just 5-6 days ago. The last days have been unplayable. From 1 out of 10 games where I had a cheater, now its almost every game. The report option used to work well and I used to receive notifications saying the person has been banned, but no such thing has happened in the last month.
the situation is just ridiculous now.
Feeling the same, I'm now at the point where I might just write the game off and say goodbye to the £90 I paid for it, and go back to Insurgency: Sandstorm.
I like nothing more than beating the players in question even if they aren't cheating. But I swear I have played this card in chat more than once:
Me: "player name here" UR a great player!
Player: ty (sometimes nothing)
Me: Like you are cheating...
Sometimes I have felt the tides turn like I spooked them or something and they turned off the mod. A few people I play with have been present more than once during these transactions and they said something about the tides turning before I mentioned it to them....
Whatever it is I still love beating them most of the time anyway. Oh, also I have noticed they rarely if ever stick around for a second match.....
Bump on this necro thread, because the issue has not been resolved and they have even stopped posting Javelin statistics.
Only gonna get worse now..BF6 is now free to play with gamepass.
Tournament for streamers who cheat. Rampant PC hacks in game. Report them and nothing happens. No PS5 / Xbox console only option so essentially forced to participate in this circus. They know if it was PC on PC the legit players would quit and cheaters would then quit. The new update apparently nerfs controller recoil. That wouldn’t matter it was a level playing field of inputs and no pcs but it’s not. The game itself is not that bad, bugs yes, but the PC cheating and being forced into it or having bot lobbies is terrible. People want to know what was so great about BF3 and BF4, It was knowing at least it’s a somewhat leveled playing field and if someone was cheating on console they had to really work for it. I just never remember having a cheating problem back then. The biggest complaint in those days was out region players with high ping abusing the system. I think separating the consoles and PC is the only solution.
The problem is that game is inconsistent, over 1.5k hours I have encountered about 5 obvious cheaters and play every day this game. All I can tell most of You who think someone is cheating, either You do not know the mechanics of the game, spotting, recon drone, motion sensor or the UAV that recon can get. I`m not saying that there is no cheaters at all, but there is far less cheaters than people think. Stop running around with anything but flash hider or silencer, as any other muzzle attachment not only show You on minimap, but also show orange square marker above Your head. Also people can see ANY lasers on weapons besides red and purple, that costs 10 points.
Then there is lag compensation for high ping players, that can make You feel like they are cheating, when they are not.
