Hackers like on Original Battlefront
Are you guys going to have some form of Anit-Cheat system? There is an unbelievable amount of hacks for SW:BF and even more actual hackers on the original game. THEY ARE EVEN ALLOWING YOU TO ESSENTIA...

EA StaffHey @nygmaa47,
rest assured we're constantly looking into this. As long as there are computer games, there will be people trying to manipulate things to their own advantage. There is a sound community though that does a great job in reporting those players, and there are several mechanisms in place to make sure cheaters will be sanctioned.
And trust me, if FairFight "literally" did nothing, out Terms of Service department would be less busy. So just kick back, relax, and enjoy the wait for the beta by checking out more infos about the story here.

I know you have other systems in place but a quick web search will find you hacks that appear to have existed for months or even years which have never been addressed.
I think it is a valid concern of people being asked to spend so much on the new Battlefront 2 to not have their experience completely ruined by cheaters that can get away with cheating. "Rest assured" isn't really that reassuring since Battlefront has terrible issues with cheaters, most games these days seem to have at least one person openly cheating and it seems like no matter how many people report them they are able to keep doing it. Our fear is that Battlefront 2 will be more of the same.
Turns out people are hacking the game already, now admittedly I've played about 10 rounds in the beta and only come across it in one game but the top player on one team had a score of over 50 inside 2 minutes and had the ability to fly from the start, most players from both teams left but it's really disappointing that it looks like EA aren't worried about this, and IF anyone from EA replies to this, which let's face it they probably won't as it's easier to ignore issues than address them as with the missing beta access for many that pre-ordered, then NO reporting them isn't the solution because when we do the same players keep coming back and doing it again.
Hacking literally killed the first game for me. DLC and lack of depth aside, I enjoyed the first couple of weeks in the first game. Then it got to a point where I couldn't get through a play session without having at least one blatant hack kill the server. On more than one occasion, one hacker would leave only to be replaced a round or two later by someone else. It prompted uninstalls from myself and most of the people I played with. I reinstalled some time later to check out some of the dlc that I had yet to play, only to be IMMEDIATELY confronted with the same thing. Months later. I gave it approximately 3 play sessions across 48 hrs or so. Obvious hacking each time. Submitted reports each time. And uninstalled again. No progress was made with regards to aggressively addressing hacking in the first game. Period. In the beta I can't say with any conviction that I've encountered hacking with the exception of one round but even that wasn't blatant enough to convince me. I truly hope that something is being done to address and agree with the previous request for transparency in this regard. The single player game modes make this iteration somewhat more viable but everyone is REALLY purchasing this game for the multiplayer interaction.
TBH intially I was excited about SWBF2, but after playing for a few hours I picked up on what seemed like someone running a hack. I saw him/her on separate days of the beta winning every one of the top stats. It seemed a little fishy and honestly makes me question if I want to pre-order or not. I might just wait a couple weeks after release to see what people say on the subject.
