Battlefront 1 was well known for hackers and after a few weeks I've seen a few, not only do they admit to using an aimbot but laugh that if they get banned they will just buy another copy of the game. If anything they should lose their Origin account and the credit card used to make the purchase should be banned from ever being used to buy an EA game again. Battlefront 2 over time will lose it's player base when more and more hackers appear, I can't recommend people to play Battlefront 2 because even though the game is good it's not enjoyable when hackers ruin the game for all.Now EA listen up there is a simple solution to this as well, you could implement a vote kick system in game to kick cheaters, if enough players vote the hacker is removed. This has it's plus and minuses as well but it's far less abused then the hacks used to break the game.

I've submitted over 100 reports, 65-70 with video proof of hackers and cheaters on xbox, and I'm still seeing them in the game. The same people. Shooting through walls, unlimited health, seeing through walls when they don't have the ability and are alone. (Thermal binoculars confirmed), heroes at 10% health healing to 100% without dying and their team not having a healer on the roster, etc.No punishments are given, if they are at all, they are too small to be effective and are not doing their job. The only other alternative is EA is doing absolutely nothing about the problem and are instead closing every post about a HUGE problem as damage control to save as much face as possible. The game is so easily hacked and cheated that players do it more often than play correctly. This is ludicrous.

Agreed. I just left a game with a player GetHelpPlease, had some sort of aim assist because as i followed him and when an enemy would come into sight there was no missed shots, just one death shot and on to the next player that came across his path. 2 players, 2 shots. One game he had 111 kills and the rest of us didnt top 50 on either side at the end of the match. Please focus a bit more attention to reports of player names that have been posted as cheaters. Also scope out this account name as well, Acxxd he had like 71 kills whereas the rest of the players had 30ish or below.

I am frightened that if the game becomes cheaper over time (just like SWBF1) there will be more hackers. I hope they take this into higher priority on their implementation list.

I was in a match where people reported GetHelpPlease days ago. So he's still playing huh...EA why isn't this player banned? Upgrade your banhammer or we'll have the BF1 situation in no time.

We already bloody do, and it's no better on console!

EA needs harder punishments on hacking

The lack of response on EA's part makes me wonder if perhaps they are leaving the cheaters in-game on purpose, in order to rile-up demand for the return of loot boxes, or some other pay-to-win solution, from frustrated players desirous of a way to even the playing field. Credit grind + turning a blind eye towards cheaters = wouldn't put it past EA.
Plus, given their infamous track record when it comes to being hacked and other systems vulnerabilities, isn't it odd that they aren't taking a much more aggressive stance on anything even remotely close to a hack or system exploit? I know an aim-bot is not the same thing as an intrusion, but it's a slippery slope, and personally, it makes me uncomfortable to think that EA's lax approach to all of this is going to result in my personal information winding up in the wrong hands. Tis the times we are living in.

Whereas I hate cheaters and an anti-cheat should be prioritised this response is egregious and into your point of information ending up in the wrong hands, you're probably better speaking with EA about compensation for a data breach where you can prove your details were affected

The game is in a really bad state. Laggy servers since weeks, no possibility to switch teams or even join a specific map. Teams are unbalanced as f4ck!
Very basic functionality is missing. And when you made it in-game, no single round without hackers or even the afk farmers seems possible.
The game is dead, even if EA will fix something in future, that will be to late in my opinion. The hackers already have had months to farm all the purple stuff wihtout any ban against one of them. And on the other hand, the "casual" player gets punished by them and the unfair team balance though.
