@LtBuckAz actually, except Valve and NCSoft, which are using their own anti-cheat systems, everyone else is using a third-party anti-cheat system. Most common are Punkbuster and Fairfight, but they seem to lose the battle. The problem with the anticheat systems is that the hack needs to be out there, so they could dismantled it. Which means reverse-engineering the hack and developing a detection method for it. In many respects, an anti-cheat measure acts like an anti-virus or anti-malware.
Sadly, this situation is more and more common in our days. Activision, Ubisoft, Rockstar and basically every single company that is releasing a MMO game has to battle with it. Something that can be quite expensive, especially, as the games are using a third-party anti-cheat measures. In the old days this was tangled by private servers, where the admins would kick the culprit. Sadly, this doesn't happen anymore (BF1 does have that option, but is in the form of a rental server).
Bottom line, no matter what the devs/publishers will do, it will be undone by people that have no better things to do but to ruin others fun.
P.S
EA Net Worth: $22.90 Billion
so do not tell me that EA doesn't have the money to develop
and to maintain a strong anti cheating system
I'm not a EA hater by any means ok?!
but is pretty damn obvious that
EA doesn't care to keep their games free from cheaters & hackers
and those dishonest players love EA games ..!!!
now I have to figure it out to how I delete my EA origin account
and I will be on my way
enjoy your EA gaming ...!!!!!!
