EA: The community has created a cheater database with video proof for you!

@EA_Barry 

@EA_Leeuw 

Dear EA-Team,

Battlefield V is doing quite OK regarding the number of players and there is a dedicated community that wishes to continue for years. On PC there is a serious cheater problem though, that you are aware of.

BATTLEFIELD V CHEATER DATABASE on YouTube. Please check it!

[Removed - Admin.]

So you have the cheater names + video proof. It's all there... Just check the channel every two weeks and ban the cheaters! Word would spread fast via ingame chat and the cheater problem on PC would be solved soon.

A player I know created this and he is recording cheaters several nights of the week. A lot of the footage hasn't even been uploaded yet and he wants to continue. I am befriended with him in the EA App and can connect you.

Please don't take any steps against the channel or the creator. He is a good guy who just wants to save the game that so many players love.

You created a great game with Battlefield V. Yes there were serious problems with the road map and other things, but I do also blame the sometimes impatient, unrewarding or even toxic behavior of many commenting players for the early stop of support.

As a player who just started about six months ago, let me tell you that the current version of the game is great fun and can even be addictive. I played more than 400 hours in this short period of time and bought a relevant amount of BFC from you for skins, because I really like the warbirds.

If only the cheaters wouldn't kill the fun in so many rounds. I am a pilot most of the time and most cheaters don't fly, but it still feels bad. For infantry it completely destroys the game.

The community created BATTLEFIELD V CHEATER DATABASE is a chance for you to put an end to this with minimum effort. Please consider working with us on this problem. Your community would be grateful!

Best regards

Spirit

    The Source code was stolen just before BF2042's Release, causing them to abandon and focus on upgrading the engine to support BF2042's (insert opinion) release. This has led to the massive cheating problem that was always a problem but never dealt with until you get the obvious cheaters as they can always plausibly deny. You play any server and there will be multiple guys scoring 60+ kills with 1.5-3x" the next guy's score. Then there are the regular ESP guys flying planes and picking flieg individuals off the map, behind bushes wherever. The obvious cheaters are only the tip of the iceberg compared to the regular problem that has been present for quite a while.

    If this is the case they might just cancel the online features because having those blatant cheaters in every server makes it unplayable anyway.

    Meanwhile they still sell their product for full price and there blatant lies of their 'our anti-cheat approach in battlefield V.

    You don't just leave a community of 16000 players like that.

    There seem to be a good reason for EA being voted top 3 worst company in the USA for many years in a row and you can see why.

  • Even better: Stop releasing online games before you can guarantee players (mostly teens and kids btw) to be able to play in a cheat free environment.

    Me personally hate the idea that my 13 yr old son who starts to like online games has to play with those adult cheating creeps who obviously have developed some mental disorder.
