At what point does calling ‘cheats’ in Battlefield 6 cross the line from healthy skepticism into discouraging skilled players from sharing gameplay? Lately it feels like misunderstanding of mechanics—and sometimes jealousy—gets framed as ‘integrity policing.’ Curious how others see it.
Considering we've got confirmed reports of cheating, (with EA having to crack down on it), and the game being a mess of bugs and poor decisions at the moment, it's very likely it is cheating over skill.
I would take it as the highest honor to get called a hacker. That would make my day, one time I got called sus… best I have achieved in almost 500 hours.
Without a way to spectate a player (except for redsec which is certainly high in cheaters), it is hard to verify that a player is exceptional. If a player is exceptional, they are among a group of players who are cheaters. If a player seems exceptional, they are more likely a cheater; especially if they hide their stats and seem to predict players' chaotic movement or preferred spawn location too well.
I played with a level 392 yesterday, for example, who insta-killed me as I crouch-walked alone to an objective they were apparently defending. I said, how do you know and pre-fire? They said sarcasticly, 'because I am cheating'. Others in chat started harrassing me about hackusations, but the game bugged out before I could respond or ignore them. I loaded back in, and the round just ended. A new round started. That player then killed me in spawn, while I was on foot, 4 times in a row, within 10 seconds of spawning, from a helicopter far enough away that I never saw them. Was it luck thst it was me over and over? Were they tracking me with wallhack? How could I know?! How can anyone know? I checked their profile and their stats were hidden. They were 15-0 already. I disconnected. There was nothing more I could do but wonder. In my mind, cheater. What evidence do I have to the contrary? But the server host (admin) was in the game at the time and obviously thought differently since they didn't do or say anything.
In the old days we literally banned you from our servers to keep it at a certain level. You would have to go find servers at your own skill level. In BF2 ands cs 1.6 we had autobalances and vote shuffles etc. Because thats how it works in real life brother. We take men out of women's sports because there is this false sense that you are entitled to play. It doesn't work that way. In real life you go to the local park or court at your own level. The only time pros pwn noobs, if there is no other courts available and they have no choice.
Whether you are using a cheat bot engine or not, for example, if you are creating alternate identities to undermine a matchmaker. You are a cheater. And that is the state of the industry. Because a real "good" and human player does not enjoy pwning noobs. Because a real human player will get worse if he does that. It will lessen his skills, that a competitive player always wants to keep sharp. Also even the best players have streaks and slumps, because again that is human. So trolls in general are a red flag, and the fact that society, and the gov't, and these woke corporations have made them a protected class, by turning a blind eye to them ddo'sn servers after getting banned. Is probably why God is going to wipe us out. Society has become so fake and evil, we are just another sodom and gommorah at this point. The gaming industry has always been a microcosm for our human nature. The only people who are fooled by the media nowadays are children and mental patients. If the suicidal empathy that is causing us to be the dhimmi's of these barbarian heathens, doesn't destroy us, we will make the digital realm great again.
I just face a sniper on breakthrough first point on Blackwell Fields in defence... 52 kills... Was he good... maybe... but that'S a lot of kills... or skills... or
So you cheat and haven't got caught yet....I don't believe one thing you say, and besides majority of you "good players" use player lobbies with bots to level up and hide it by turning on private profile settings...
too many of them cheat and pretend they are good...
Any person I see that is over a 10/1 KDR and isn't in a vehicle I automatically assume is cheating. In BF6, I'd say that happens about 1 every 3 matches. I have faced people who are insanely good, and playing the meta, and yet they are still getting about a 2, maybe 3/1 KDR. The people who pre-fire, 100% headshots, and perfect snap at 180 degrees... those actions just scream cheater.
This doesn't even consider the consolebots. Watching "skilled" gameplay of them is just like... wow, your aim assist hard tracks through everything even walls, and quick snaps to the face as soon as you sniff ADS. So skilled, much talent.
You have forgotten the campers they also get a KD of 10 if they are a complete squad of hardcore campers that go to usually unreachable rooftops or single persons that are so good with suppressor with unlimited ammo as Support. I mean you can play Assault with ladder and spawn beacon, climb up somewhere put the beacon there and then spawn as Support on the beacon, this way you get to unreachable spots and have unlimited ammo. If you are in a very unusual position ppl normally don't look at and use a suppressor the chance is there you can get long camping kill series.
How's does someone shooting you through a wall or behind cover make you a good player?
