Forum Discussion
I'm surprised at the number of forum admins who deny knowledge of hackers/cheats. As suggested, if one does a simple search on "Star Wars Battlefront Wall Hack," there are lovely companies out there who are proudly boasting their cheating prowess. Heck, for a small monthly fee, we can all become dirtbag cheaters too!
I'm not sure if it violates forum conduct, but I took a screenshot of the first hit I got; note the bit where the company boasts, "Undetected by FairFight." How hard would it be for the folks at EA to purchase this software and tear it apart? Or is our integrity as a society so low that we resort to "Well, everyone does it..." logic and accept that there will always be losers in bathrobes and basements looking to "pretend" that they are absolute bad a$$es.
You don't have to look that hard, and by turning a stubbornly blind eye to the problem, EA is perpetuating it.
I'm sure there are skilled players out there who are legit. I'm also sure that in a game like Blast, where it is a veritable killing frenzy that to amass 40 kills to 5 deaths is sketchy.
What I don't get is why people resort to cheating to begin with. Just so you can get great stats and claim that you "won?" If you resort to hacking the game, all you proved is that you're not capable of winning without help, and that you lack the wherewithal to improve you game like the rest of us who DON'T cheat and play the game as designed. Seriously, I'd love someone to explain it to me...is there money in cheating at online games? I'm totally new at this; 40+ years old and resisted all of the other FPS games. Now I can see I should have never started.
I am a jaded rookie gamer who still feels like it is not ok to cheat.

Which admins deny it?

They don't deny. Maybe because they play the game on XboxOne/PS4. Cause if they played the game under PC, they would know what we are talking about. Or maybe because, like us, can't find a match to play under PC: servers are "empty".

Well, I can say that this is my reality.
Empty servers. - ApprovedAnonymous10 years ago
They all are Star Wars envy and heathers for us to have it great, I'm saying that we are to much match for them not to be original gamers and also criminals to all society,they act like spoilers gime gime and never sacrifice for themselves,and yes there's hackers in this game all the time,just keep it real and hopefully EA block this problems in a update against anti virus.

Rats. I was really wanting to play this on the PC too since I have an awesome rig but after reading this thread I'm having doubts. Especially if its hard to find games. ☹️

Fred_vdp, in this thread above, you yourself said you've never encountered hackers in the PC version of this game. That comment was not meant as hostile, by the way, so I hope it didn't come across that way. I've been following the threads on this forum as well as the actual battle front forums, and it is my observation that the moderators/admins generally steer away from making any confirming statements that there is cheating. Maybe that is just a policy you have to stick to. I myself was reluctant to mention cheating. As I said, I believe there probably are some legit butt-kicking gamers our there, and I thought I was either having a hit detection issue or just a sucky player. I was disheartened when I did a little exploring and realized just how readily available it is. I guess I just need to get off my moral horse and deal.

I have experienced 5 different hackers in the PC version of the game since the initial release....4 of them have been banned(received e-mails confirming that EA banned them), guess i was wrong about one of them.
report the cheaters when you come across one, even if you suspect someone is cheating. Doubt the hackers would be dumb enough to purchase another copy of the game esp with the low player population and the cost of the game.
The best part of this game....They ban cheaters, unlike COD games where it is encouraged along with the game being designed and tailored for the scum bag cheaters.
