I watch the cheaters on YT all the time and shake my head. It's an arms race that will never end. We are as good as it's going to get, and I honestly believe EA is doing all it can, but I doubt it can be stopped.
Personally, I don't think they are. Let me preface what I am about to say with I've played FPS since Unreal Tournament in 1999. I have played CoD, Valorant, Fornite, CSGO, Apex Legends, Overwatch, pretty much every Battlefield there is any other FPS titles. Also, I am by no means saying I am the best player there is because I am not. I am average at best. And yes, I am 44 years old, but when not working or taking care of family I like to unwind by playing games.
That said, I can honestly say with my experience in FPS, I've never seen cheating before like I have in BF 6. It is blatant and rampant. I have reported quite a bit and I am not talking about just AImbot/WH players, I am talking about Cronus Zen hardware cheaters too. The fact you get called out for naming/shaming the cheaters is just ridiculous in my opinion. Protecting the suspects and cheaters is crazy work, and this has not always been the case (although it has for a while now unfortunately)
At this point, if they were doing all they could do, the cheat protection would be much better, and less cheaters would be on. It seems to have gotten worse (at least for me in my games) since the first ban wave. Imo, the players should be completely called out. This whole no naming and shaming is what's wrong with the world. It has gotten so soft if you call out cheating pieces of trash, you get condemned for it. Just embarrassing and absurd!
I couldn’t agree more — I’ve been playing FPS games since Counter-Strike in 1999, and at 42 I’m honestly just shocked at how far cheating has come.
Back in the day, we already had wallhacks and aimbots, but what’s going on in Battlefield 6 feels like something entirely new. Hardware devices, spoofing, macro systems — it’s like every limit has been broken.
And lately I’ve even come across something I hadn’t seen before: players spawning right inside the objective area, literally in the middle of it, like the game’s spawn logic is being hijacked. If that’s now possible, I really wonder what else can be exploited next.
I fully share your frustration — it’s not about being the best or worst player; it’s about wanting a fair and consistent match. Seeing how obvious some of these cheats are, while any public discussion of it gets censored, is just disheartening.
I truly hope DICE and EA start addressing this head-on and communicate what’s being done. Because for long-time players like us, this isn’t just a game issue anymore — it’s a trust issue.
