G'day @HDrag ,

I'm not entirely sure which answer I gave that makes you feel I was justifying people who cheat. I am merely stating that just like in real life, you need proof of an individual doing something wrong before you can challenge them for unlawful or nefarious activities , otherwise it becomes a "he said she said situation". If DICE was to ban everyone that had a report against them with no proof and only hearsay, they wouldn't have a playerbase for very long 🙂

To further @Real_Noobalishus 's point - EA cannot act on name and shaming/ heresay (without proof) for various reasons, an important one being they'll be open to legal troubles associated with (but not limited to) defemation if the person is innocent.

I know many players who can go 100-10 in matches and you wouldn't believe the messages they recieve from people accusing them. The best thing to do is enter spectator mode and record at least a few minutes worth of the suspected cheaters gameplay and privately send it to an EA rep to look at.

    G'day @SpiderPigSausage ,

    While it may seem like something may be going on, recently there has been a plethora of highly skilled high level players creating "smurf" accounts in order to boost their K/D score straight from the beginning.

    This has been a common trend in the past 3 months on Xbox and I would only assume this is abundant on other platforms. The best thing you can do is go into spectator mode and actual record the events as a scoreboard does not provide sufficient evidence to state if someone is cheating or not.

    If you see any cheater / hacker , use this link: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/

    Hi. Yes...thanks for the reply. I know how to report and I do it.
    I'm not here to judge, I'm just pointing out...Bfv is basically unplayable.

    I agree 100% without question it is unplayable. Not really even any enjoyment. Furthermore, why the heck should we do the research on cheats? Isn't that EA's job? Spectate my butt. Get SOME anti cheat in here as there is none. Ridiculous.

    EVERY game ends like that. It is beyond sickening. I don't care if they are great players using another account. There is clearly something wrong with the fairness of play.

    uninstall the game... problem solved!
    play Battlefield 3, anti-cheating software works fine 🙂
