LOL. That is funny. However, blatant cheating is NOT the point of cheating. Yes, you only found one “blatant” cheater, but the majority of cheaters do not do so “blatantly”… That is the whole point.
How does a non blatent cheater affect your gameplay or your experience ? I would like cheats free PC games but as long as a dude isn’t one hit killing me from spawn to spawn or going 200 - 1 or something along thoses lines he has no impact on my enjoyment of the game. I’am not gonna notice him because I’am not going into games looking for cheaters. I accept the fact that there is cheaters, have been cheaters in every multi games I’ve played for the last 20 years and that’s it. In 18 years of PC gaming, I think I had to leave a game because of a game breaking cheater in my game like 20, 30 times at best.
So yes there is probably a guy getting some kind of advantages in some of the games you play but as long as he isn’t braking the game he should be barely noticeable. Especially in a game like BF where you can have as many as 32 opponents on a large map where you could fight the same guy only a couple of times in the course of a match.
Actually, the majority of them are blatant. Maybe subtle to the untrained eye or the average player just accepts he was bested. I haven’t run into too many script kiddies, but lately, there’s been more. The other day on Aerodome Grand Operations, I was defending on the German team. At the start of the round, I spawned on A and went prone next to some indestructible green crates. I hadn’t fired a shot and there were no flares. Nobody had any legitimate reason to know where I was at, and around the corner 50-60 yds ahead of me, appears a guy with a Lewis gun and he hip-fire instagibs me with laser like accuracy. He didn’t strafe out or peak. The split second he left cover, he fired right at me. Cheating. On Rotterdam Grand Operations, we were attacking the first objective. I was under the spiral staircase (normally E on Conquest) in the small room on our side. Again, nobody had a legitimate reason to know where I was. A guy literally jumped around the corner, and before his feet touched the ground, he instagibbed me with a M1897. He had well over 70 kills that match, and other people were suspicious from their own experiences with him. I reported him, and the following day, his name could not be found on origin or battlefield stat tracker.
I gotta agree, I do get that “how could you possibly know I’m here” followed shortly by the “how can you one shot me in the head when I’ve got the drop on you”. It happens more than I’d like. I guess some players are just THAT gud. I do suck though.
There were a few times in that match where I would hop in the gun and hop out or fire a few shots and hop out. Then I’d watch Minengeschoss rounds hit that gun like a bullseye and he’d still be way outside of the airburst’s range. So I was half right. He wasn’t using a program, but he was taking advantage of the guy on his team with the hack. Like the guy from MattiAce’s game, but he said he felt bad and just stuck to dogfighting.
First, not sure why you quoted me since you’re not the owner of the original quote…
Second, when we say “cheater”, automatically people think of the obvious/blatant one and then comes comments like “I never seen one”, “played BF X, BF Y, BF W, fornite, minecraft and pokemon go, and never encounter a single cheater”.
A lot of them flies under the radar and tries not to be obvious. I’m sure we all played against these type. But sometimes they make mistake and get spotted.
Who remember the 3rd party AC for private servers’s called BF4DB ? Beside the low levels that were constantly added to their ban list, I’ve seen a LOT of 140 lvls and when I check their profiles; nothing suspicious (stats were organized by colors), not a single highlighted red stats.
Reason of the ban ? : Fairfight.
In BFV, it’s when you spectate the “awesome top score” that you realize he have walls/ESP and/or aimbot.
And I can assure you that the days of BF4 where better than of today with BF1 and BFV.
How ?
Imagine this: You’re a legit player - always been fidel to the franchise - goes in a round of BFV in a rampart kill streak and get killed around a corner/ behind a wall by a non-blatant cheater that saw you coming.
How’d ya feel ?
I hit respawn and move on.
It’s not that you suck, it’s that the game has its problems. Suppression does nothing except 3D spot enemies (if you’re a machinegunner), and other players can take multiple 8mm rounds to the face, then do a lazy adad strafe and kill with ease. Even with this ttk, people are bullet sponges to some weapons. Besides, I know when I’m being hacked against. The game I thought Ravic was cheating, someone was using a 3D spot hack to mark everyone. Wasn’t Ravic cheating himself, but still. The guy that jumped the corner and killed me before his feet touched the ground, c’mon, that’s obvious. Rounding a corner from a distance and hip-fire instagib with a Lewis gun? Also obvious.
I am done reporting cheaters as long as there is no effective anti-cheat. Today I recorded how many?
I met 3 blatant cheaters just today in 2 games (I video recorded)
And yes = REAL cheaters where the worst as rank 27 is going 108 - 5 on Twisted Steel with Lewis mg gun.
I dont even want to spend anymore time recording - uploading video - and reporting as I can see that the blatant cheaters I reported several weeks ago are still playing (one has 8000 kills with 80% headshots… really? - A blind man can see he is cheating)
Conclusion:
You have made a decision to protect cheaters and to allow cheaters to come back and play - and make it easier and cheaper for them as you discount the game = Regarding protecting you honest customers and Anti-Cheating your are doing everything wrong.
Honest and pre-odering players gets nothing - I repeat nothing - but the chance to see cheaters robbing them for the gaming experience they paid for = You do not deliver the product you sold us.
Never ever in my life have I seen a more misunderstood way of treating you customers - and companies that treat customers this way tends to go bankrupt - so maybe you want to wake up before it is to late?
I honestly do not care anymore… and yes - I finally have understood that you do not care anymore either.
…
if you’re talking about the mattiace video where he interviews the cheater, Yes the cheater was banned. I mentioned he was banned a few days ago.
This is out of control. Just quit a game with some little boy going 93:12 ragehacking. Worst: No one seems to care anymore.
I wanna see ban waves so big I can surf on them.
There are so many using esp and damage multiplier hack, you can tell the damage one more when they use planes, and they deny it.
Nobody is cheating.
Who are you and why does it show you never having played any of the Battlefield games?

Last night I was killed by a Stuka JU-88, 11 times in a row. No matter where I hid away from flags or what flag I spawned at, this guy dropped a bomb directly on my head. Inside a building or outside didn’t matter. Today I’m playing and a sniper shot me through a wall, one shot kill to the body. Yeah, kinda unlikely.
.
I think I’m done with this title for a bit. I just don’t feel there is a level playing field here. Not fun.
Now this is actually trolling.
More like trying. Not actually trolling.
