EA need to be serious on anti cheats for BF6 - Activision showing the way?
Leaving anti-cheat measures on auto-pilot by outsourcing it to 3rd parties and using punkbuster is obviously not the answer to it all.
Some defensive-mode-individuals claiming it's 'mission impossible' have obviously not comprehended its importance and end-result if not taken care of in a more systematic and thorough fashion. The EA BF franchise will scramble/terminate as players go to better alternatives, whereof many will never return for new releases. Most posters on this forum have listed Anti Cheat as the absolute top priority for their wants in EA BF6 !
Identified cheats should be banned off. Period.
And it should be on the EA Player Account side and not left for each individual server owner to non-stop having to fend off the confirmed cheaters repeatedly coming back again and again. Those of you renting BF servers out there are familiar with how deplorable poor the server admin tools are at our disposal. So what can and should be done?
Look at what Activision have done just over the last year or so, since they announced their AC program back in April 2020!
To actively suing companies that manufacture such cheats and hacks. And to permanently ban cheating players.
First very visible result was in August 2020 when a cheat/hack developer company was forced to publish their apologies and terminate all their commercial business making cheats for the Activision games:
Activision filed suit against the cheat and hack program developer, forcing the company in question to disable their hacks for Call of Duty related products. The cheats in question were used in both Warzone and Modern Warfare. Hack maker CxCheats posted a statement to their Discord server, later taken down along with the whole server, regarding the lawsuit.
"As a result of our lawsuit with Activision, we have agreed to cease development and support for all Call of Duty related products or services sold through the site," said the statement posted by the screenname Cam, "These products will not be returning to CxCheats in any form." The statement also says that people using the tools will be banned. The statement ends in an apology: "We apologize for any pain we've caused to players of Call of Duty."
By end of August 2020 Activision had implemented more than 70,000 permanent player bans on top...
In September we had yet one more cheat manufacturer taken down. Activision sent a cease & desist to the owner of GatorCheats. They have since deleted all COD related cheats.
Activision have continued their pursuit to ban off all the cheaters and just a few days ago confirmed total number for aka Call of Duty: Warzone has now passed over 475,000 banned cheaters till to date.
Hey @CyberDyme if you are in-game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://help.ea.com/en-tr/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/
We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.
I'm locking this thread and would ask that you not create another thread to discuss the same issue.
