Sean Merson says a lot of things…

That’s a fair argument. I can say the majority of the time these people are already flagged for bans before it’s even posted to Reddit. I can also say we’ve banned 70% more people in BFV then BF1 (time adjusted) on PC so far with zero sign of slowing down.

=====

So, he says people are, “flagged for bans before [their videos are] even posted to Reddit.”

Perhaps that is true. Then again, we would need to make a distinction between, “Flagged for a ban,” and “banned.” I have put up videos on Reddit, that the rage hacker continues on for THREE WEEKS.

He is playing subtle semantic games; hedging comments, and using what we call, “weasel words.”

I wouldn’t take a phrase that he says at literal face value. Read what he says like a lawyer would, because at this stage, you can BET that his posts on reddit and other places are looked at by a lawyer before posting.

1082

I know, thus the value neutral formulation.

1083

My post got binned.. if a mod would please jail-break it.

This explains our situation. The mistrust started during BF1 (not gonna really argue with you if you change the point in time) with the very poor anti-cheat, and the exclusive use of FairFight. The situation has continually degenerated for over two years, with Sean Merson and his team still working on how to notify us about bans. See below.

(I know the community wants us to better surface information regarding bans. My hands are somewhat tied on this, but we are looking at the best way of getting this information out which will satisfy all parties, the community included.) link: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bfm2du/do_not_do_the_grind_flare_challenge_warning/

I don’t see, and I will wager you and the others reading, do not see how it can take two years to come up with a policy, with “the best way of getting this information out which will satisfy all parties, the community included.” You guys have had two years, for crying out loud…And they want to satisfy all parties, “the community included.” Who else do they have to satisfy? EA? Their lawyers? The pseudo laws of the European Union against, “naming and shaming of a gamertag?” Do you need to…“satisfy the hackers?”

I mean, we’re still here, we all care, that is why we are posting here, but this constant gaslighting, the “soon,” the “we need 2 years to come up with a policy…” I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but man…oh man, this isn’t the 90s…This will kill the reputation of the Franchise, we will remember the Battlefield franchise just like, “Hey, remember when GM had the Pontiac line? Yeah, those cars aren’t around any more…” Or, better yet, “I remember having a VW Beetle. Those cars were cute back in the day. Not much good for today, though.”

I know that I have archived every page of this thread. Well, not just this thread, but more importantly, the threads with the admin’s names. Lots of you are old enough…remember what happened to Michael Richards, Mel Gibson, Paul Reubens, Lindsey Lohan, or Tila Tequila? You remember the names…I don’t see how the names on those sticky posts way at the top of the forums…Br… Dan… Those names will be associated with Battlefield…And I don’t know about you, but I will definitely think more than twice before I get involved with a game that has their name associated with it.

1085

I am not sure it works that way. I can be wrong. I would think…But I am attributing a thought process to this, I would think that with each ban there would be at least a brief “check this box for the reason,” rather than just, “#tY96ip.”

Then again, I think of the movie, “As Good As It Gets,” where a dialogue goes like this:

Video: As Good As It Gets - How do you write women so well?

“How do you write women so well?”

“I think of a man, and take away reason, and accountability.”

=========================

I think of a corporation, and take away reason, and accountability.

EA/DICE.

That’s not the current state for PUBG. It’s actually the only game where I’ve seen the private hack sellers stop selling a cheat. The devs also update the community with the details of what they’re doing. You know.. the complete opposite of the “tip off the cheaters” thing you get around here. PUBG has, by far, the best anti-cheat for PC shooters.. period. If we’re ranking, the BF series is probably the worst imo.. with no real AC as best I can tell. I really wish I could give you the name of the player that I looked at recently that has 12,789 total kills.. 11,570 head shots. When that most absurd of stats is possible, it is evident that the anti-cheat is either a team of one guy looking at report submissions, or.. nothing.

That’s (lack of real info from Dice) one of the most maddening things I’ve ever seen in relation to the cheating epidemic in BF games. How vacuous would you have to be to believe that telling people the broader information about how you’re doing some sort of security would lead to that security being breached easier? That, by far, is the silliest thing I’ve seen said in a BF forum. If telling somebody that you’ve got brand X security system for your house makes it easier for said thief to rob your house, that security system is worthless.. or as I’m fond of saying.. pathetic.

I think EA has so many dumpster fires to deal with right now that money for anti-cheat at Dice has to be the lowest of priorities. Now.. making cosmetic items.. that’s important and they’ve probably got a lot of artists employed right now. Anti-cheat engineers? Not so much.

Cheaters/hackers in nearly every match [Conquest]

Eriksendrul said:
There has been some time since i have played Battlefield, I did not play it for 4 ish months. Wiped the dust off, installed it and wanted to try it again after several patches and added content.

And now there is cheaters/hackers in nearly every multiplayer matched that i have played so far. People with over 50 kills and 2-3 deaths, Instantly headshotting everything that comes within lethal range.

I know there is cheaters/hackers in all multiplayer games, but now i have faced the same hackers 2-3 days in a row, Why are they not getting caught and banned?

So many fun new assignments to do, but its close to impossible to finish some of them because i get killed to much, and several of my deaths are in the hands of hackers, Hackers playing recon class, taking headshots from uncap and across the map with rifles, even on people driving cars and quads.

As i already said, its always cheaters/hackers in all games, Its just so much more and frequent now than before. It takes 1 guy to ruin the fun for 32 other players, and they get to keep doing it for several days. even when i know at least 4 people ( my squad,irl friends) have reported him, and several other players are also saying they are reporting, still i see this hacker the next day…

If there is something important you need to focus much harder on, it is to get ridd of hackers faster, it ruins the game for not only 1, but for potentially 32 players. I cant even imagine how it is to face these guys in Firestorm…

Its just sad that i choose not to play a game i really enjoy because of the people selecting to use cheats/hacks.

If anyone who reads this has the ability to forward this higher up the chain in EA/DICE, Pleas do so, I have thousands of hours combined in all your Battlefield games, But this really is an issue now.

1088

So, the blatant hacking is bad, but the low key hacking is not?

This guy posted about a rage hacker, but said…

It depends, i too have a friend that hacks and i play with him majority of the time i play. I dont see the need to report him cause he keeps his lowkey and not excesive. He looks like an above average player when seen in game. But thats up to you with your friend. It depends how much he ruins the lobby.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/beiaoi/bfv_yet_another_blatant_hacker_scrappy_joined_and/eldir5s/

Hacking relativism…THE OP who complained about a rage hacker…Plays with a friend who hacks.

1089

FK “aggressive player” , u is cheater too. it can’t up to this kill, rare ammo, and no one really can use 3-4 bullet kill a player in the game(all the time). don’t think we are idiot, cheater, we all know about the game, esp come from BF1, we can spot or know who is cheating from their movement,aiming and hitting

we really need HWID Ban, DICE, didn’t do anything to make us have good gaming experience in MP. i am playing less and less in BFV, i didn’t want to see one day i wouldn’t play BF series

1090

I suggest you wind your neck in and stop throwing out claims of others being cheaters.

1091

And in another thread, he says…

Boosting is different from cheating. The odds of seeing an actual aimbotter or wall hacker are slim to none.

Wow, this is reminiscent of discussions that I have had with some people here…

1092

Tried to report a cheater through its profile. Cant find his name. Because of weird symbols looking like alphabet signs. FFS

removed (cant find him on Origin, but he was called like that in the game)

1093

Here’s what you do…Go to battlefieldtracker.com TYPE in your own name…go to the match that he was in with you, and cut/paste that name from the tracker report into origin and then search. That will render the characters correctly.

1094

Thanks.

You mean under gamereports? It’s not updated yet with the matches of today.

1095

This game is swamped with hackers…almost every game has a couple of them. Not fun and feeling unfair/bitter.
EA has to be transparant on how many they ban. What they are doing about it. And wich anti-cheat they are going to buy (because they have 0 now)…Else this is really the last BF I buy. And many with me. Remember who made BF huge EA…it was THE PC.

1096

I have quit this game in February and not just that - I have completely uninstalled Origin and all EA games I’ve bought. I am replying to you as someone who has played all Battlefield games since the first one in 2002, just to tell you - you will get over it. It was hard to give up on game/franchise I’ve loved for 17 years, but lets face it - this is no longer BF, especially after battle royale nonsense and ESPECIALLY after nothing has been done about cheats.

This topic is in my bookmarks and I visit it when nostalgia hits me, just to remind myself why I no longer play this game and why I shouldn’t reinstall or buy anything from EA ever again.

1097

Oh my. Might want to calm down a bit.

1098

That’s exactly what a cheater would say.

1099

Try that with your girlfriend. It will work, trust me!
