Anticheat in BF1

It seems game developers have finally realized it doesn’t make their game look good or themselves look good to give cheaters a warning instead of a ban when caught cheating. Overwatch and The Division now permanently ban any cheater that is caught on the first offense.

I hope DICE learns from their fellow developers and starts to ban cheaters permanently on the first offense like Ubisoft is doing with The Division and Blizzard is doing with Overwatch.

I think Blizzard (Overwatch) was hard on cheaters from the get-go (banning several thousand gamers in China alone).
Ubisoft (The Division) however has done just about everything wrong when it comes to cheaters/hackers. However, after a public relations fiasco, Ubisoft was finally shamed into banning cheaters.
As for EA, it remains to be seen how it will deal with cheaters in BF1. But based on past performance of its Terms of Service (TOS) teams, I don’t think EA will do a very good job in dealing with cheaters.
Regardless of the reasons, the net effect is EA’s TOS teams are slow to respond to cheaters in all aspects (identification, verification, elimination).
Dealing with cheaters is simply something that EA just can’t manage to do well at all.

What are you talking about? LOL They ban on the first offense.

No they don’t. The 1st time you are caught with Fairfight you are given a 1 week suspension and a stat reset.

You don’t know anything bro.

Bro, do you know what Punkbuster is? Bro do you know how many people have been banned permanently by it in the past in BF2, BF3 and BF4?

Bro, you should get out of the basement once in a while.

Bro do you know that PunkBuster doesn’t work really anymore. You are naive and wrong. Get a clue please.

Since your ridiculous assertion that there aren’t permanent bans on the first offense has been destroyed, you try to run in another direction.

I’m naive and wrong, yet you didn’t even know that permanent bans occur on the first offense.

It’s summer, school is out. Things are starting to make sense now lol.

I never said there weren’t permanent bans. YOu are mad you are wrong and are flaming now.

Punkbuster is not controlled by EA and DICE. Fairfight is. DICE and EA give a 1 week suspension on 1st offense followed by a ban on 2nd offense.

They should permaban like Ubisoft and Blizzard do now if they had any fortitude, which they don’t.

Only a troll would bring up Punkbuster which is broken and easily bypassed these days when It was obvious I’m talking about Fairfight since it is controlled by EA and DICE.

Get a clue please.

“I hope DICE learns from their fellow developers and starts to ban cheaters permanently on the first offense.”

Reading comprehension.

Yes, I agree. I think people are beginning understanding the type of poster this guy is. No need to waste more time on him.

hi someone know if exists CROSSBAN on battlefield 1???

Can’t wait to get those 70/0 kd ratios, being called a cheat is the most gratifying reward in BF!!

If you hate PC cheaters/hackers as much as I do, my recommendation is to play on consoles (as I did).
You won’t regret it.

You really don’t understand that consoles are low end PC’s running on an OS? Apparently you don’t know that Jailbreaks/mods/SDK’s are in works for both Xbox One and PS4. Ps3 and 360 have been hacked for years. It won’t be long before the current gens are compromised.

Please keep your ignorance to yourself.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Google or are you just lazy and slooooow?

he’s kind of just an idiot.

teeee heee heeeee

WOW! Some hectic thread rage going on here. Let us get some facts right:

  • Console games can be hacked by third party software just like PC games.
  • Punk buster was used by previous Battlefield titles such as Battlefield 2, 2142, Bad Company, Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, 4 and Hard Line.
  • Due to the lack of effectiveness of Punkbuster DICE and EA decided to move to GameBlocks
  • GameBlocks has a number of Anti cheat software. FairFight is one of them.
  • FairFight is not based on your computer. It is server side based and therefore immune to most client side hacks.
  • It is not perfect therefore FairFight works with Punkbuster together to get the best measure of Anti Cheat.
  • Due to it not being perfect having perman ban like Overwatch could turn out to be a problem, many people may be wrongly banned.

Get your facts straight.
PunkBuster is a farce and no longer works.
