Title says it all.I just joined a server where a hacker advertised in chat with yellow text several times and then left (I assume the hacker left). When the hacker left the game it was in a cinematic state so that everyone on every team was following a "cinematic camera" througout the entire map and no one could do anything.This is so stupid. How can a CLIENT MANIPULATE the SERVER so much that it BREAKS the entire server/network?For those who remember, the servers were so MANIPULATED that EVERYONE was invincible on the servers for a long period of time.This is somewhat similar to be honest but it makes people get stuck into some sort of of cinematic mode.I know it's an old game but come on, who did the security QA in this game when it was developed?

@Ice_ hello, ive also made an video about it: https://youtu.be/rMznqAyBYbk

@Ice_ I'm seeing this now too. On PC, game almost can't be played without hacking.

The game is completly unplayable since many weeks. Reported tons of cheaters everyday. They are running around since weeks hacking the maps server to server.No one, I reported, banned up to now (since these cheaters are still around). 80% of the servers are all time hacked and it worsen each day.You can fly inside the map if you wish, but you cannot play the game anymore.Thanks for doing nothing EA and for the planned obsolescence!

I just played a few other games. Same thing.It's unplayable again. Either you shutdown Battlefront 2 or fix this with another hot patch. The latter is more wise because if you shutdown BF2 prematurely, you will lose a lot of customers. Just saying.

@avltwmdgu0b6 I'm sorry that you had to put your time into that.It's really sad, really.People actively abusing old Frostbite engine to do harm.And EA has to fix it. I wonder if they will even bother to fix it this time though.

Hackers are screwing with servers again

@Ice_ EA seems to not care. Hacks have been around for years and they are only getting worse.

I passed the video along to a few YouTube gaming influencers and a contact at Kotaku.
EA needs to address this before they release Survivor, or they risk a ton of bad press and lost sales.
So it's safe to assume nothing will be done.
