So the anti-cheat seems to be acting up.

Cheating has become one of the biggest problems in the Battlefield community, and I have absolutely no respect for anyone who chooses to do it. Every time you use cheats, hacks, or exploits, you're not just giving yourself an unfair advantage—you are ruining the experience for everyone else who has invested their time into improving their skills and playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

Thousands of honest players have already walked away from Battlefield because they grew tired of constantly questioning whether every impossible kill was genuine or the result of someone cheating. Many of those players have supported the franchise for years, purchased every title, and helped build the incredible community that Battlefield has always been known for. They deserved better.

Winning through cheats isn't an achievement. It doesn't demonstrate talent, game sense, teamwork, or dedication. It simply shows a willingness to take shortcuts at the expense of everyone else's enjoyment. Battlefield has always been about epic moments, working together as a squad, and earning victories through skill, communication, and persistence—not through software that plays the game for you.

Every cheater who enters a server has a ripple effect. One person cheating can ruin the experience for dozens of players in a single match. Over time, those ruined matches become frustration, that frustration becomes players leaving, and eventually the community suffers. Fewer players mean longer queue times, emptier servers, and a weaker future for a franchise that so many of us genuinely care about.

If you truly love Battlefield, you'll play it fairly. Improve your aim, learn the maps, work with your squad, and earn your victories with integrity. That's what makes great players respected. Cheats may give you temporary results, but they'll never earn you the respect of the community.

To those who continue to cheat, I sincerely hope your accounts are detected and banned every single time you try to come back. If you choose to ignore the rules and ruin the experience for everyone else, then you should expect to face the consequences. The Battlefield community deserves fair competition, and players who repeatedly cheat have no place in it.

Respect is earned through honesty, skill, and sportsmanship—not through cheats. The sooner cheating is removed from the game, the stronger and healthier the Battlefield community will become.

You're saying your friend was hit hard mentally? That's unfortunate if that's true, but you also need to understand the impact cheating has had on the Battlefield community.

Cheating has driven countless honest players away from a game they genuinely love. People have spent years supporting this franchise, only to have their matches ruined by players using unfair advantages. The frustration, wasted time, and loss of enjoyment have affected far more people than just one individual.

As for giving your PC to your friend, that was your own decision. If that PC contained cheats or led to consequences such as a ban, that's a responsibility that comes with those choices. The community shouldn't be expected to sympathize with decisions that contributed to the problem in the first place.

At the end of the day, fair players just want a level playing field. That's all we've ever asked for.

Hey, sorry—are you an AI or a real person? I feel like I made it pretty clear above. We didn’t cheat, we just got banned out of nowhere. My friend literally had a 0.2 KD before the ban; he just wanted to experience the battlefield. Cheating is some **bleep**-**bleep** behavior, but what’s that got to do with us? We were just playing the game—or maybe we only opened it once—and got banned.

I’m just reporting a bug, hoping no one else runs into the same thing. Whether we get unbanned or not doesn’t really matter. It’s not like it stops me from playing Apex or Battlefield 6—my account’s fine. I just wasted a little time out of curiosity.

…Oh, and I just asked my friend. If he could get unbanned, he’d actually buy the game back. He’s a masochist lol.

Check this out.
Like I was saying, I just launch the game, close it, wait a few hours — what is that, some anti-newbie system?
