EA have clealy abandoned Battlefield but at the same time are trying to squeeze every cent out of unsuspecting customers.
I see that the forum admins also post the lame BFV cheating policy sticky in response to questions about BF2042.
Such a shame for us long-term Battlefield fans but I'm afraid it's over. Maybe EA will go bankrupt with such a horrible attitude to their clients and the forum admins who are the public face of EA's policy will lose their jobs but it wont bring Battlfield back. RIP.
Hi guys!
I'm an old BF player from sweden, been playing since BF 1942. I agree in every word you have said. I think BF V is a formidable game and very addictive, so fun that you even could put up with an occasional cheater. But now the cheaters appear on almost every server and it is getting really frustrating.
So what could be done about it?
In BF 2 you could start a kick vote to kick cheating players. The problem with this was players starting kick votes aginst players they considered too good so this function may not be answer. But another thing that actually worked was players who been given admin rights from EA and were therefor able to ban players who were cheating or teamkilling to get hold of tanks, planes and such.
Why cant EA appoint players as admins to clean up the community from the ever growing cheating horde?

This game can be fun, but I had to switch 5 servers today because of cheaters. And this is in one evening. It's like a pandemic. Worse yet - I've met a cheater I blocked at least a month ago. Obvious aimbot and teleport stuff. Zipping around with MMG and killing people he has no line of sight to. Players know these. Still active. When I told people to report him he just said "What for?". And that got me thinking - if he's still not banned while clearly being a cheater - what are reports for then?
So dear EA, why do we report cheaters? Have any of these reports ever been acted upon? Or is reporting a cheater is also naming and shaming?
Well, at least some got banned, that's a small consolation. What surprises me, that some people do not report the cheater immediately. And yeah, people do not know how to report so they don't bother. But if the cheater is on your team this round, the next round you will likely play against him, since the enemy team just up and leaves. And it is no fun to play against a cheater, who wins just by virtue of cheating, leaving you no chance. So I urge everyone - if you see a cheater - just report them immediately. It takes seconds. It seems if EA does not want to save this game, it is up to community to save it.
PS: We DO need a guide on how to report a cheater put up in game client, where the videos are...
