I"m nearly done with this game. It’s sad because this is one of the most fun BF games I’ve played. I’ve seen more blatant aimbot cheating in this game than all previous BF games I have played in recent history: BFBC2, BF3, BF4, and BF1.
Last night we had a fully raging aimbotter in TDM for 4 rounds straight getting scores like 67 - 0, 84-3, etc. This is from battlefieldtracker, and I won’t name and shame this blatant cheater so I don’t go to jail [discussion of moderation removed]
@alienstout - agreed. Cheating is ruining this game. Everytime a bunch of cheaters get on, they ruin a match - it goes very one sided quickly and it only takes a couple. I publically call them out during the game - but they just laugh and ignore. And it ruins an entire match - if you have a couple of tards with aimbots on a side, they will, single handedly, win the match for that side.
@ViolentMinds - The two worst I’ve seen so far was a points multiplier cheat - dude ended a round with over 175’000 points, and another player in a BF-109 who was 68-0 with an aimbot - indiscriminately killing soldiers on the ground with his guns.
3.4K replies in this thread as of posting this. The last few games I’ve played I’ve quit after a few rounds out of frustration where there were 1-3 players running what I perceive to be “subtle cheats” like esp and mini-map radar hacks.
I enjoy playing the game with our BF community but it’s just got to a point where if our group can’t leave the server when we run into these cheats I’d rather log off and spend my leisure time elsewhere. Sadly EA/DICE either can’t or won’t address the issue with a proper working anti-cheat. FairFight is broken and has been since day one. It takes them weeks to even ban “blatant rage hacking” so I’m not holding my breath on them being able to detect the more subtle hacking that is presently plaguing the game. We’ve now got masses of cheaters that have learnt to toggle the cheats on and off in an effort to avoid not-only FF detection but not arouse suspicion from other players.
Never before have I seen the proliferation of easily available (many free) BF hacks available online. BR won’t save this game. It perhaps will prolong the life-cycle for a small window of time but unless the subtle cheating is addressed quickly and somewhat efficiently by DICE/EA the shelf life of the game is winding down rather quickly. It is for me anyways…
Jcap334 and I both go back to BFBC2. I spectated this guy while Jcap334 was playing with him. Someone needs to smear Viks Vapor rub on this goobers mouse pad and the make him play with a worthless elaborate M8 gun.
We all get to see the kids who have the aimbot software set to full , but there are hundreds of mild botters for every rager seen. Sometimes I think these super obvious guys are advertising for the cheats they sell.
Played BF3 yesterday. In one of the rounds I was playing, about 30 minutes in the game, a blatant rage hacker (flying and killing everyone) entered the game. He went 22-0 in 1 minute. 10 seconds after that minute, he was vote kicked off the server (from practically both teams). Game moved on, everybody happy. I think votekick is an underrated thing, and should be able to do in every server. As long as you need 60-70% percent voting, I believe that vote kick would be fair and not be abused.
on another note played another few rounds yesterday with more blantant aimbot cheaters. Dude even had aimbot for using tank. First time i had seen that. He was shooting planes out of the sky and one shotting infantry every time… shells are notoriously horrible for killing infantry its one of the most hated things about BFV’s tanks is how weak they are vs infantry even dead on and yet this guy one shots sprinting targets like hes dropping J2’s…
Honestly in the ~400 rounds i played so far, I encountered maybe 4-5 cheaters, where I can definitely say, these guys were hacking. On the other hand I got called a cheater already a couple of times, and I usually don’t respond to these (obviously i’m not, sometimes i get good rounds, but i’m only above average). When it comes to hacking, it’s usually guys who round around with LMG and casually headshot people on 200-300m distances.
So far i don’t think cheaters are much of a problem in this game, but maybe i’ve just been lucky.
Played for a bit last night . Ran into an esp hacker last night . Same guy shot me 5 times in a row on Arras . He ended up 59 - 6 in the round . Next highest player had 24 kills . I looked up his stats 5.40 kdr , 870 spm . Every time I turned the corner in the town he was shooting me and basically pre firing the edge I was coming around . Two times from distance , so the stupid footstep thing is out the door .
The rounds before that ran into 4 guys from the same clan on aero dome . They were shooting people and head shooting them from behind A to almost D with semi auto rifles . They appeared to be firing full auto , with zero recoil . I couldn’t even see them with a 3 times scope . I left that game because it was so stupid what was going on .
Yeah, you’re very fortunate. I went on to play this morning, the only grand ops server on - had two rage in it. One guy with a 4.80KPM and 46KD. The other guy looked like he had more sensible stats, but he was cheating too and admitted so in chat. saying that he does it for the trolling and rage from players and he told the 46KD guy to add him.
I didn’t even spawn in. I left to spectate.
I don’t know how dice or just any anticheat can’t see hey, ~5KPM for infantry is not very likely, lets flag this guy and watch him (and record it) then ban him.
Not even former pros are getting 5KPMs. Most really good players are getting over 2.2KPM and if they are super good like relaaa, 3KPM. not much higher than that. No 4. No 5. No 6 infantry kpm. The AC should know this.
