Re: Stop the hackers!!

The cheaters making the game really unplayable.

Everybody is talking about the glitches or overpowered weapons, but for the game cheaters are the biggest problem.

I play on the PC and I’m for sure that 50% of the players, who are still playing, using cheats. Maybe even more.

To be honest…. Because of all the reading about the cheaters in the game I was curious and I tried out one last week. It’s really easy to find (first hit on Google) and install it.

Everybody can spot cheaters; high ranks, strange shots, confronting them on the chat without getting a reaction back, finding you directly when you’re in a strange place of the map etc.

But when you’re using a cheat you can see the people walking around, how they react. You be shocked how many people are using a cheat. I was overwhelmed and shocked to see how much people using one and that it really destroyed a lot of fun of the game by me after seeing this. Because of this, i’m not really in the mood of playing the game a lot (what I did before). Because I know a lot of players are cheating. And they don’t care they are cheaing. They just want the points and be the biggest gorilla of the bunch. Complainers like me are just criers etc according to them.

The worst cheaters aren’t even the 60 + kill players. It’s the group below them. The group who pretend to be a normal player, staying low profile.

I read a lot of old treats and forms about this subject, people who are claiming to see players over and over again after being reported. Only thing read back as comment on that is that there can’t be any shaming. I totally agreed you can’t do this, but the frustrating isn’t only from this game, it already started in BF1 and how longer it takes, how more frustrating it gets. Especially because players have the feeling the company of the game don’t care.

As mentioned before it’s really easy to find and download a cheat, so If it’s so easy to download it, I think it should be easy to make an anti-cheat program for it.

I think when you have a good anti-cheat program the complaining about over powered weapons will also be lower because, because a lot of kills looks like due to the weapon but in real it was a one/two-shot-cheat.

Win-Win situation for players and developers in short and long term playing (for this and every game).

  • Mods have removed the name I've given from the thread... and how am I supposed to make any difference? EA doesn't give a damn about reports.

    Don'ts Doing something on this list often can get you suspended, or sometimes even banned.

    Bully. Online bullying is against the rules. Bullying is a one-stop-shop to getting banned from the forums. Your gaming account will also be reviewed. Bullying can include:

    • Personal defamation
    • Naming and shaming
    • Gossiping about other people
  • Can you bully a criminal for saying that hes a criminal? That doesn't make any sense.

    So what that my gaming account will be reviewed? I got nothing to hide.

    You guys need to stick to the rules, dont name and shame, or bully other players just because you think they are cheating. I see people everywhere claiming someone else is cheating when they are simply more skilled.

    You were previously advised to read About Answer HQ. These are the rules of the forums that you deem not to follow.

    And to further your analogy, you have no proof, no evidence, as only to allege a person. And this is not a judicial system. Cheating however immoral an act, is not criminal in the United States. And the “alleged” person is not here to defend himself/herself.

    If you want to stop cheaters, then stop playing the game, period.

    Please stay by the subject (stop hackers!!) and not discussing form rules. Moderators will do this.

    People need to react as much to this forum about the subject and not driven away because of a other discussion.

    So pleople. Let us know how it influance your play and how much you disslike it! Looking forward to read all the reactions.

  • I have no proof? It's not that he was good... he was literally killing everyone about few seconds after spawning... making 180 kills in first minutes of game. That is a proof in itself. It's not like I think that he was cheating, because he was too good. He WAS cheating, and can give you a link to hack he was using. Oh... and he wrote in chat "Yes, I am hacking, if you don't like it, hit ALT+F4" ... or something similar.

    Admission of Guilt by USA law -> See, e.g. Libretti v. U.S., 516 U.S. 29 (1995).

    It's not bulling. And those forum rules are just stupid. Especially when EA doesn't give a damn about hacking reports. No one even reads them.

    PS. Second best player had 2 kills.

    PPS. There is no rule saying that I can't say that rules are stupid.

    Although cheating may not be a criminal offence, it does violate the EA user agreement.  Under section 2 it states: You may not reverse engineer or attempt to extract or otherwise use source code or other data from EA services, unless expressly authorised by EA or permitted by law.  ( How do hackers write code, reverse engineer the game code)  Under section 6 it states: When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:  Use or distribute unauthorised software programs or tools, such as "auto" software programs, "macro" software programs, "cheat utility" software program or applications, exploits, cheats, or any other game hacking, altering or cheating software or tool.

    I agree that there are very good players out there.  Some who play only to defeat the hackers.  But one shot hero's has to go.  Shooting through walls has to go.  Taking no damage has to go.

    I see one of two things happening if EA/DICE does little to nothing on curbing this problem.  1) the game will eventually die out like most other FPSs.  2) everyone will start to hack just to keep up.

    I myself will never download a hack, honestly not just because it is immoral but also, my gaming rig is epic and i will not download anything to it that may cause harm to my system.  It is used only for gaming and very little interwebs use.

    Lastly, i only post here because i truly love this game.  I rarely post in forums.  Please EA, keep this game alive!
