What? Did Carbonic give me an infraction? No, he didn’t, and I don’t think he ever has, but I was predicting someone would step in for him…some people out there really don’t like to be proven wrong… See post above me for an example, and a muscle flex. ---

To clarify, I didnt say ANYONE gave you an infraction, I told you that discussing them is discussing moderation and that is against the rules. No muscle flex, muscle flex would be have been me infracting you for it, but hey, you know, sometimes people dont want to be given a heads up, obviously you don’t, so in future I won’t. ---

And yes it seems COD will begin messaging you if they ban someone you reported. I don’t play that game so won’t be able to see how it works out myself directly but I doubt it will be trouble-free both with the tech needed to do so but also for the reasons I already listed. Will be interesting to see if they stick with it and how it works out. [Red\_Label\_Scotch] said: > [@](#): > > What? Did Carbonic give me an infraction?

I’ve given you a warning 3 times before. This could easily be one because you changed the topic to be about your past and potential future forum infractions which you for some weird reason think people might give you if they are wrong - that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. ---

I’d say why, but that would be discussing moderation. You know we can’t do that, I don’t know why you’re trying to get me to do so. ---

Battlefield should have this too. I’d like to make a note on the statement here. They do not say they matchmake cheaters together. Cheaters are banned. They matchmake **suspected cheaters** together. This will mean thats some of the good but clean players will have to play with cheaters (assuming some of the suspicions are correct and some false). It can actually be a bit of a turnoff for the good players I think. It would be interesting to see how they will make it possible for a certain good but clean player to get rid of the ‘suspected’ tag so that he can play in normal lobbys again… Will they even tell players they are suspected or will you just suddenly notice that you always end up playing against cheaters? I suspect no friends will want to join your game if you end up in that category no matter how clean you are. When it comes to the telling back on reports I do not think they will mail you back the result of any report. My guess is that it will work similar to how BF1 did it in the beginning. Banned accounts are listed with names in game for everyone to see. ---

Since BFV have a “server browser” I cant see how matchmaking “cheaters” together can work, but I like the idea. I still believe the best way would be private servers like we used to have in the past. We cant trust EA to solve this problem. They have to give us the control back. ---

If you opt for matchmaking the process starts. Ofcourse not if you connect manually. Would be funny to see those good players rage when they’re put against equally skilled players, and things won’t go as they’re used to. ---

At this point banning cheaters would be a step up. Then again, the current bar sits at 0 No ban information No report information Nothing. The community is being treated like mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed … well you can google the rest. ---

Hey Battlefield players, We have just released an update on the future of Battlefield V. This update also included information about our anti-cheat efforts: _Our work against cheating in Battlefield V will continue, too. The members of our anti-cheat team are working daily towards making the battlefield experience as free of foul play as possible. Discussing technical detail into our methods may unfortunately make cheating worse, but we want you to know that we’re constantly fighting the battle._ _As a reminder, there are steps you can take to help us keep the fight fair. You can report suspected cheaters through the Origin overlay if you’re playing on PC, or through your respective consoles if you’re playing on Xbox One or PlayStation® 4. [This walkthrough](https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment) will show you how. Also, protect your EA Account so it won’t be compromised and used by cheaters. [Here’s how it’s done](https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/account/how-to-maintain-account-security)._ - - \*\*With this update, we’d like to remind you to please report cheating through our official channels, instead of discussing or highlighting it via forums. This means going forward we’ll close threads regarding cheating to ensure our dedicated teams can action the reports via the appropriate channels. Thank you, -Tom ---

> [@BenJ0hns0n](#): > > Did a check today to see that players who were blatantly cheating & not hiding the fact over a month ago still have active accounts! > > Is the DICE anti cheat department on holiday ? Does it exist at all ? Must admit I have serious doubts into it’s validity currently. FairFight’s cheat detection is terrible; it basically doesn’t get updated from what I have seen. I believe in-game reports are not looked in to as well. I don’t know this for a fact, I am just assuming because I keep running in to the same blatant cheaters for the last few months. As a test I have a cheater on my friends list. I spectate the cheater for one game everyday who drops 60-1 bombs; record his game play and submit it when I make a report. I’ve been doing it for the last month and he’s still playing. So, it’s fair to say that the FairFight is on vacation. ---

I have seen bombers pre-patch go 130+ kills to like 2 or 3 deaths in a round and they weren’t cheating. ---

^ Yeah true. Good pilots can be gods. I just realised…my bad when I said “bombs” I was using it as slang not literal, more like figuratively speaking. As like, “he is so devastating he dropped a bomb on the opposing team”. ---

It’s seems to me there are more cheaters and hackers with the release of the new content. These are new accounts. I have never seen their names before in the game but are quite blatantly cheating. Reported them but there is no action against them. What is the point when you have no transparent process to the players that report these cheaters and no feedback and no outcome. It’s just makes me want to quit playing altogether. ---

The tank spam on breakthrough is terrible (literally a tank sitting on a hill farming kills where no one can kill it). Otherwise the game is enjoyable, maps are average to good, gunplay good. Cheating and fishy players is one out of control thing about the game currently.
