It feels like it’s worse right now than in the beginning of BFV. It’s harder to detect than before but I do come across more players that I think is dodgy.
After playing BF games for so long I think I have a pretty good feeling if a player is skilled or not.
Yeah, most of them are using no recoil. I watch one use the FG-42 sometimes and she has no muzzle climb. No hint of even trying to compensate, and she plays on PS4. There is a usb device that plugs into the console, then you plug the controller into it, and it works on both consoles. Offers no recoil, among other features.
I just left a game with 3 snipers playing assault , I was a sniper also got two of them with bolt action rifle and got killed myself both shots where head shots and they lost no life, endgame the where all three in the 20 and 30 kill range with no deaths. these gents did not stand back in the rear and kill they got in your face with a sniper rifle the bolt action rifles they used shot faster than an M-1
*disclaimer, I am not naming and shaming in this post. I know for a fact Ravic wasn’t cheating, and therefore am not naming and shaming.
I only accused him in-game, because at the time, the game was still very much new (still is) and I had no knowledge of a 3D spot hack. Until BF V, I had never seen one. It was probably the actual Ravic that messaged you, since I called him out on one of his videos in the comments section. As I told him, I was using Plays.tv at the time, and since they updated the ui a little over a year ago, it hasn’t wanted to work with any game really, so I had no proof. But watching that video, I saw his buddy with the clan tag MUS1CK and that jogged my memory. I was willing to believe it was a name spoof, knowing spoofs existed in the 2015 Battlefront (despite him vehemently denying spoofing was possible), until I saw his buddy. Once I found out about the 3D spot hack (I saw MattiAce’s video), I figured someone else was doing it and I basically rescinded any accusations on him. The only beef I had was, he had a video of people accusing him and him giggling about it, but when someone else had the entire enemy team marked, he giggled and abused the hell out of it, unlike MattiAce who felt guilty and stuck to dogfighting.
How are they on the right track when they make little to no effort to identify purchasers of their games so a banned cheater can buy the game again if he wants to? They don’t even extend a ban in one EA game to other titles that cheater has access to. Imagine that, they know you’ve used a hack in one EA game, but they’re okay with you continuing to play other EA games where a reasonable person would probably conclude you will also try to cheat. That’s not being on the right track, that’s simply not caring enough about cheating to take out the trash.
You might want to give up on this one…Kind of like someone else who is mathematically challenged, he will think he is playing chess, knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and declare victory.
That’s the new XIM. It is specifically designed with cheating in mind, not just as a MNK implementation on consoles. What you could say then is that, effectively, every shooter on PC and console has no functional recoil on any gun, and minimal spread. I suppose there could be a way to code something that notices that repetitive pattern, beyond human control, and just stop the gun from firing. I think that is one of the things FF tries to do.. detect that automated input, but obviously FF wouldn’t have any influence in the game mechanics.
I think that there is no way to stop cheating in anything. Then you end up with people thinking they need to cheat to even the playing field. Ultimately the people that choose not to cheat are knowingly putting themselves at a disadvantage. Literally every single thing that has a competitive component to it, people are going to cheat. There doesn’t seem to be any moral imperative to be fair anymore. The consideration then is to choose whether you compete without cheating knowing that a lot of other players are cheating, or do you just not join that competition at all?
I can explain that one away right now, They ran out of ammo and picked up the kit of someone they killed ( assault kit ) and were using the assault’s primary weapon ( other gadgets etc cannot be transferred )
See but thats the problem with society at large and more specifically the community within BF5. This is a attitude to have, don’t even bother trying to stop it because people will do it anyways. Do you also argue “If I wasn’t the one that cat someone else would be”? NO its YOU doing that thing. Don’t try to bandy cheating off as its common, or there’s no moral ground for it. Yes there is moral ground for not cheating. And I am totally fine with dieing a bunch and not cheating, would way rather do that then kill people while cheating and knowing that its the cheats doing it.
If this is the game that EA/Dice wants to make then
Add a new section under Options called Cheats and give everyone the abilities. Turn this game into the cheating game it is meant to be. Level the playing field and open it up so that everyone can run as many ‘advantages’ as they want. @Braddock512
What are your thoughts on this Braddock? Its been a month since your little anti-cheat blog post. Yet no further communication has been forthcoming
What we need is input from the Dice team here , followed by action in the form of additional ac measures for BF V. This thread is massive and surely warrants some proper response from the ac producer.
The current non existent/low to non existent anticheat measures are pathetic! This is supposed to be the latest and greatest BF game.. setting the bar.. what about setting the highest standards in the anticheat too. Restore faith amongst your long term fans. Or would you rather continue to support the cheating community and turn away any remaining fans.
Sort out the anticheat in BF V. Bringing back RSP would be a major additional plus but at the very least protect your game and your loyal fans who want a fair game.
Haven’t been playing this game much lately… For all the obvious reasons. I decided to jump in a game today and sure enough a guy going 70 and 10, hides his stats (only one reason that you’d do that) and keeps shooting guys through smoke… Yeah, RIP EA/DICE. Good luck selling any future games.
EA / Dice you need to make this a priority. Played 5 matches tonight and it was infested. 20 and 0, 30 and 0, one guy had a shotgun running around corners with prefire. Your ring of fire is going to fail if you don’t address this and the news will be full of the bad press that it comes with. I really like the game and have all the BF titles. This most likely will be my last one for sure if nothing gets resolved soon.
