Correct @ElliotLH ,
The naming of any specific AC tool has not been called out yet...
So no specific details yet on this subject except that DICE will rely on a mix of in-game and server side technology (like aka Fairfight). The developers will always also need help from the community. In other words, in-game reporting tools will be available for easy reporting and removing such identified players from the game. The fact that BF2042 is not a free2play title gives me comfort though, as they are much less affected by mischievous players.
In the Epic Games session we heard that Design Director Daniel Berlin explained the ambitious goal that EA and DICE want to keep Battlefield 2042 “...free of harassment and cheating”.And he further elaborated: “In terms of anti-cheat, it’s important for us to say that it’s extremely important to us that our players have game sessions that are free of harassment and free of cheating.” and Daniel referred then to the EA guidelines on “Positive Play!”. In other words, the code of conduct for players in the game to ensure pleasant and fair interactions during the gameplay. The "Positive Play Charter” include many interesting aspects and its clear this subject has gotten very special attention by EA this time around. The charter sets out a broad spectrum of undesirable behaviors, similar to what we know from the TOS and community guidelines of EA games. Violations can be punished with temporary account suspensions (bans), which can also be imposed permanently in repeated and particularly severe cases. So personally I look forward to the BF2042 release and helping EA making this a success!
