Always a good idea to read the info on private cheat seller’s web sites. Apex has better anti-cheat than BF5… which isn’t saying much. Difference with Apex, it being F2P they can rage cheat and just create a new account to do it again.
5000 users isn’t much in the context of the large player-base, but.. if you do the math.. that’s $135,000 a month for the cheat seller… so 1.6 million USD a year. Add in the BF cheaters, plus other games.. that’s definitely the motivation why the cheat providers work a hell of a lot harder on it than the anti-cheat efforts from every other game with the exception of PUBG, which this particular site stopped selling cheats a while back. In the big picture, it’s just video games so I do not blame these guys for developing and selling cheats. It’s not like they’re doing ransom-ware or something like that. I do blame EA and Dice for not putting more effort into anti-cheat then these guys who are making bank coding the cheats.
It’s funny how BF4 is a lot cleaner now that the cheaters have moved on to newer games. There’s still quite a few cheats on locker servers, but there are many full servers on other maps and modes. I’m having some fun with it.
I don’t think so. More or less the games been on sale ever since that time. So sales I don’t think play a part in it.
I think what played a more likely roll is dice’s silence. A video addressing cheating in bf5 got to a million views which they felt a need to address with a blog post.
It did raise some attention to it but it also made cheats more popular imo. That video was a catch-22. It forced dice to respond but it also showed cheaters if you want to cheat this is the game to do it.
Seeing wallhackers isn’t even surprising anymore, it’s become so regular that it’s part of the game at this point. It’s kinda easy to tell when certain players shoot 100% accurate through smoke, bushes, trees etc.
Not to mention the most funny ones, the ones that keep shooting the wall/hill in front of you over and over because they can SEE you there with the wallhack, but they can’t see the terrain in between.
That’s one of the ways to spot a hack user, when you spectate him and he instantly stops playing like an ace and instead either hangs back or lets himself be killed a few times, but as soon as you stop spectating he’s Super Gamer again and his score continues shooting up. I remember alerting some BF4 server admins to a suspicious player (one of the stat analysis services had him red-flagged) and the instant they began spectating him he fled the server which shut up the players who had defended him in the chat–he’s just good, stop crying.
Of course in BFV spectator mode recordings are ignored by the anti-cheat dept. because they are not accurate enough, so I don’t know why a hack user would care that he’s being spectated, EA certainly doesn’t care.
Players used to do things like that a lot back in previous versions of the game, like following a cheater around and telling the other team where he was so they could find him and kill him. It was nice to see legit players on both teams cooperate to take the fun out of it for a hack user.
Isn’t it a shame that players care more about cheating than the game’s publisher?
I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen an aimbotter (never seen a rage bot in BF V other than YouTube), but I can’t count the amount of times I’ve seen nonchalant ESP users. Ones that don’t aimbot, but have the advantage of knowing where I am and can win 8/10 fights. It’s painfully obvious when I haven’t even made a pin drop (obviously haven’t fired a shot to make the red dot) and there’s no flare around.
Lately, I’ve been seeing people use damage modifiers. Only 2 or 3 so far, but still, only days apart. It was painfully obvious when a Spitfire was ripping my bomber to shreds without even coming close to overheating, meanwhile his teammate with the same accuracy would do minor scratches. His alibi was that he’s a “Battlefield veteran” and his accuracy is good. I also ran into someone earlier today that was using a damage modifier with an MP40 and did better than anyone I ever saw use a Thompson, Suomi, or ZK. He was also using an ESP, but what really gave him away was the damage modifier. Damage modifiers were common in Battlefront, and I’m surprised I haven’t seen them that much in any Battlefield game, but I guess now they’re starting to get more use.
You are so wrong . just do some googling and find the masses of undetected cheats available for this game and the masses using free wallhax and LOD graphics
It´s killing the game to be honest, and it feels like no action is being made. Called out a cheater for the 10th time atleast.. And he admitted and said what are you gonna do about it?
I was like, i can report.
He replied - like they gonna do something anyways and laughed. haha LOL this is so bizarre. And no follow up what so ever about what action they took and so on. That makes me feel like putting time into reporting someone is just a huge waste of time. It´s honestly sad that the developers can´t take action and control over thier own game.
Uninstalled this crap. Uninstalled anthem too. Luckily, I got these 2 garbage dumps for free with my video card. I’m sorry for the poor souls who still buy something from EA.
I got fooled when they made that big thread about “working on new methods of anti-cheat measures” (the one that recently got de-stickied).
I thought it meant that they were actually acknowledging that there is a problem and intended to do something about it. Turns out it was just a ruse to placate the playerbase with empty words.
You can see him tracking through the trees. Online gaming is in a sad state. Gone are the days of good clean competitive battles. Pretty soon it will be all chumps playing as most respectable, decent people i know have given up playing and trying to compete with scum online entirely. Low lifes doesn’t quite say it. Sad times
bfv = rampant cheating, game is becoming unplayable, like the game, hate that EA doesn’t give a hoot about fixing the problem, wish we could get up a class action suit for our money back.
Two nights back to back we had to bounce from servers because there was one person blatantly cheating that wouldn’t quit and didn’t care. Took several screenshots of the leaderboard. Everyone is 27-12 or 13-4 and you know you got that one obvious one that is 52-0 or 72-1.
I decided last not not to use the in-game report and actually file a complaint manually through origin that allows you to include up to 5mb files. In this case screenshots. I actually filed it under a complaint for a harassing player. Included their names and screenshots. I found this way more satisfying since it is filed as a harassment case I get a response back. My recommendation would be to do the same so that they are completely inundated with tickets on the issue.
