Need to do better EA
As a long-time Battlefield player, it's frustrating to say this again — but your anti-cheat systems have consistently failed your player base, and trust is running on fumes as we head into Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 2042 was nearly unplayable at launch due to cheaters, and even today, blatant hackers continue to slip through the cracks in older titles like BF5 and BF1. Fair players are reporting cheaters daily with little to no visible action taken, while your support teams stay mostly silent. Third-party tools like Javelin, FairFight and Easy Anti-Cheat have proven insufficient without proper enforcement and transparency.
If Battlefield 6 is to have any lasting multiplayer ecosystem, anti-cheat has to be a top-tier priority from day one. That means:
- Active, real-time cheat detection and removal
- Meaningful consequences for cheating accounts (including hardware bans)
- Regular public updates on anti-cheat efforts
- Investment in a dedicated enforcement team that listens to the community
No one wants to invest time or money into a game where cheating is rampant and seemingly unchecked. If Battlefield 6 is supposed to be the franchise’s comeback, you can’t afford to let history repeat itself.
The community is watching — and expecting better.
