@BBDinkW The private server program is still promised to come to BFV. So players will get the control. This should have happened way earlier Imo.

Just checking for validity and such things won't do anything. If you think it is that easy to combat cheater, well I have to disappoint you. It is way harder, otherwise there would not be a single cheater in the game.

To run any cheat in game requires modification or exploitation of code within the game, such as the tagging of all enemies while clearing a sector in breakthrough.  To make this happen the code must change from what is normal and therefore the packet transmission will differ from a normal player so I really do not see why it is so hard?

Good to hear though that the private server program will eventually happen thanks 🙂

    @BBDinkW Well as I said before, it is not that easy. There are to many people willing to pay money for cheats. As soon as money gets involved, there will be someone to make it work. This is a constant battle between professional programers. The game and anticheat developers trying to close loop holes in the code and developing methodes to find players using hack on the one side, the cheat developers trying to find new loop holes and hiding their cheat software from anticheat on the other side.
    The sad truth is, that there will always be cheaters in games. Game developers can just try their best to make it as hard as possible and ban convicted cheaters fast.

      Couldn’t agree more and it’ll only get worse, with the increase in gamers joining the gaming field.

        EA has developed a long-standing reputation for customer dissatisfaction, having been decisively voted the worst company in America three times within the last 5 years. EA won with 50,575 votes or 64.03%.  🙂 🙂 🙂 
        EA doesn’t care about you, they care about your money.
