The 20k was just a guess of the average concurrent players across all platforms at all times. Conservative guess, so that we have something to work with.
Yeah, well of course RSP would fix it, by removing them from the server, that needs an actvie admin as well though. This is not at all likely. Anyway RSP is not coming back in the needed form and there are reasons for that.
I’ve never made a report, why would I? Cheaters are not a relevant issue in my gameplay experience. As elaborated 1 in 100 rounds. I would not want the permaban power in the hands of the players either, because they are not capable of an unbiased decision, it is just lynch law.
It would not thin out, most players would still play on the Official servers, as seen in BF1, all you could do was kick them from the server which relocated the problem.
These subtle hacks are always what puzzled me, they are so convenient. You do not have to die to the Lewis Gun on every spawn, you can justify and call people hacker because they have no recoil, always know where the enemy is etc.. A guy kills you three times incredibly fast, you check his stats, find nothing spectacular, and conclude it must be one of those “subtle hackers”. That is confirmation bias.
The biggest issue with RSP in BF4 were the admins themselves, switching teams, enforcing or not enforcing rules, kicking out of spite or simply doing nothing. I was admin on a server with a “no RPG on inf”-rule. I found that stupid, so I never kicked for it, heck when I am using PDWs and need to engage someone at 100m I will use the SMAW all day. I would kick people on Metro or Pearl Market that would hide on stairs with C4 with no warning, since this is the only thing I considered asocial and foul play. So that is arbitrary by definition.
In BF4 this would cause more serious issues, too. When EA bans your account then this is due to solid research and analysis on their part. BF4 had metabans with shared banlists that 80% of the servers were using and if you got on one of these because a foul admin put you on them, playing the game became rather hard, since you would be banned on all servers sharing the list.
I’m pretty sure EA doesn’t look at cheat reports and no longer bans players based on stats. I believe EA has concluded that manually reviewing cheat reports and player stats is too labor intensive and their employee’s time is better spent doing other tasks that are more productive to the company.
I base this on seeing rage aimbotters with a 75% headshot ratio with the Lewis LMG go unbanned for over 3 months. Despite the Battlefield community submitting dozens of individual reports.
PlayStation 5 here I come! Or maybe even Google Stadia if the mouse lag isn’t too bad.
Was playing Fortress a good bit this weekend, which is a relatively short game mode. Three times, the top squad went to a squad of one solo person who had over 50000 score. This is when the next top scorer in the game was around 5000. One of these guys did it having 0/0 k/d for the round too. But I guess these are just amazing players.
Spamming the flare will get you that far. 5 points for each spot, 25 for each kill spotted, 50 if you spot for your your own squad. If the killer is a proficient bomber this adds up fast. You can definitely get credited for every kill on that mode, since it is so small. The flare is so good on these modes that it allegedly got people banned on grind mode.^^
it’s definitely possible to top the score board spamming the flare but 50,000, no chance. and grind mode was better but i would guess around 20k maximum was possible.
I have been playing recon lately and no way he could have achieved what you guys mentioned with the flare gun in a legit way, it’s not that OP. The dude was alone in his squad.
Funny enough (or not) the dude was saying that it was a new cheat on the chat I told him he was funny but it appears he was true at the end.
Was playing deathmatch. Were getting dominated for 4 games 140-0, 130-0…etc…several on the other team looked suspicious. Constantly knowing where I was and shooting as they rounded corners. I called one of them out. Suddenly the guy goes from 11-0 to 18-8. I called him out on that. To me that points to cheating more than anything. He basically has ZERO deaths for multiple games/maps and than after calling him out he all of the sudden starts getting killed. It was also funny that we won that match. It seems that a few other players on his team suddenly started dying.
I posted on your thread. More constructive than the dude posting an official reply from November. Sad that the official replies are either months old or say absolutely nothing.
I rarely even fire Bf5 up anymore. Probably going to move it off my SSD
Dear GM of BF V, This game isn’t cheap so I hope you will give the After-sales service better for us.
I was enjoying this game so far but now cheaters become increasing every day. The regulation must be strictly for banning these scammers that are ruining other player’s feeling toward this game.
I’m playing in Asia servers and I think this is the main reason that people have left this game recently. I know that it already has a report suspicion but it is very inconvenient.
Please…make it more convenient for reporting cheaters by making an option to report cheaters in the game instantly or else!

Problem is everywhere, not only asia. Last night (EU), there was people Rank 0-15, that used the new anti-material rifle ‘‘Boys’’, and killing everyone across maps. Arras was a horror show. As soon as me and my squadie and friend from Origin, we we’re spawned, kaboom, both dead. Result? My mate’s last words in squad chat was after 15mins: ‘‘That’s it. I’m done with bfv’’, then quited it. When i see at global leaderboards one specific player, with nearly 900 rounds, under diff accounts, with insane SPM’s, and still playing, well, gj Dice.
Don’t know if it was me reporting him or not, but it sure felt good.
