Is Battlefield 6 going to be ruined by cheaters?

I have been playing BF5 for a while now since they dropped the price to around $2.

I stopped yesterday because the hacking has gone ballistic.

It is totally out of control now.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Every game has cheaters, but the "hacking" issue in Battlefield V is mostly overblown by the community.

Well, a number of factors come into play.

-The greater age of the game encourages more hacking.

-Sales of the game make the cost of being caught minimal. This could be seen with the recent $2 price of BF5, as an example.

-Some global regions have a lesser stigma attached when it comes to hacking. Unfortunately, I am in one such region. Consider yourself lucky you aren't.

 I've played almost every Battlefield title, and Battlefield V is the only one where you can join a lobby and immediately see players accusing others of hacking just because they went 25:0.

There is so much angst about hackers because there are always hackers in the game. Have you ever visited a hacker website? You should. It is very enlightening.

Of course there are hackers, but they make up only a tiny fraction of the player base, contrary to what many players claim.

That is simply your opinion, and as I mentioned above, hacking frequency is dependent on a number of factors.

Also, consider that blatant aimbot usage is rare, and the people hiring out the hacks explicitly state that overuse equates to detection. (If you like, I can find and post the quote, but without the link) They actively advocate against using it. 

As I said in a previous post, the most popular hacks are those that have plausible deniability. Wall hacks are difficult to detect if used intelligently. I read many years ago that something called ESP was the go-to back then.

I believe the new game, just like previous releases, will not have a real hacking problem.

As you said, it is your belief. Many of us have different beliefs as a result of personal experiences.

Regardless, I will be buying BF6 and will enjoy the honeymoon period while the hackers are intimidated by the large cost of replacing their banned account. 😎

" a tiny fraction of the player base,". you got to be joking? Do some research and see how extremely popular cheat sellers are. And how disgusting advanced these cheats are, making it very very hard to proof. BTF V servers are filled with half gods. Except the 3 or 4 days after the major anti-cheat update last year. The gameplay changed massively, no longer 60+ player in one match who all can shoot 35+% accuracy at moving targets across the map.   After 4 days the **bleep** figured out it was not effective and came back rather quickly.
