Something motivates me to uninstall this game
The real problem is that EA doesn’t give two turds about anti-cheat. They’re too busy making the game studios develop content for real-life monetary micro-transactions. The cheating problem isn’t limited to Battlefield, it’s prevalent in all of the EA games that have multiplayer aspects to them. They just don’t care anymore.
Most people who scream, “So you think STODEH hacks too?” don’t even realize that the hackers being referred to have probably 3x the KPM of Stodeh…
Check your God damn reports every now and then and beresponsive… or be Active … or even better: Be PRO ACTIVE!
I still wonder how one player can have 180-4 on devastation breakthrough in one round, doing only headshots and is not banned automatically.
This cheater problem has been around for a long time and is getting worse.
If you want to destroy the cheater business.
They are currently selling these cheats for money!
Then you have to build your own cheats into the game. A vote then decides whether the players activate the cheats for this round or not.
So the players can then decide for themselves.
This will destroy the basis of the developers of the cheats business and will sooner or later exterminate the cheaters!
It’s radical … I know … but it’s the only safe way. Anticheat is bypassed all the time!
Except that when all voted for not using cheats some would still activate their external cheats and pretend to be good…
Cheats can also be obtained for free at several sites.
If it stands out and there are doubts, the players have the option to re-tune and reactivate the cheats at any time. This possibility will rob the cheaters of the foundation!
I would like to add. If you have this new model running for a while, the point may come at which the players no longer want any cheats. Will only happen when the cheat is no longer possible because everyone can do it.
I have to say - that is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a very long time out of the gaming community, and I regularly read Reddit.
Fact of the matter is - EA / DICE could counter the cheat problem in a myriad of ways without building them into the game. What you just described is the reason so many games have stopped allowing mods to be built, because people would get the SDK for free and build cheats.
They need to do more to fix it. As I said before, when Punk buster was on scene - it had some problems at times being overly protective, but you could correct that. I’d rather have anti-cheat err on the side of being over protective than just having it be non existent as it is now.
Add to that the insult of a reporting system that doesn’t seem to do anything at all. This isn’t a problem with just Battlefield, either - being a long-time Titanfall player and volunteer mod for that community, I see the same thing there. The whole “Just e-mail and we’ll forward it on” - and then nothing ever changes. That destroyed the first game, and it’s destroying TF2 now. BFV is just as bad anymore. I can’t remember the last time I played a match that didn’t have some clown at the top of one team or the other with a score of 55 and 2, and the next person on that team has a score of 19 and 8 ( just an example). Or the last time I played a match where I was absolutely hidden behind terrain or something else, and getting shot through it by the person with that score.
So yeah - building cheats into the game? Hell no.
How about no. !!!
Entering a game where cheats are legal ?????
The self-esteem of myself would say to throw myself in a ravine before unloading cheat!
Playing WITHOUT cheats is a matter of pride and honor for me.
Who uses cheat is only a person with obvious self-esteem problems,
and profound problems of not considering himself at the height of the other players.
I agree with you. I’m not cheating in an mp game for similar reasons.
But it’s about that you have to destroy this scene’s business model. Otherwise it won’t stop! It is the money and the fleeting call. You will find new ways. The only way that prevents that, I showed you.
violation removed
What i don’t understand is that everybody stay’s in the game when there is a cheater.
Al go away, who is he then going to shoot ?
EA absolutely is on the side of cheaters. Who do you think buys more cosmetics, the average player or the narcissist who HAS to make people think he’s good with cheats and wants to show off? And who do you think EA loves more between these two?
Because people see 63/64 and join, or the auto-match system puts them in the game.
Why can’t they just implement votekick? Sure some innocent people will get kicked from servers when they are just good players, but it’s a small price to pay for the community policing itself (since EA DICE is incapable of doing their job)
Due to the very nature? VPN connections are easily identified by an admin worth his weight, and connections dropped. (amazon and netflix do it) If people NEED a VPN to play online, they are breaking laws in their home countries.
It’s not easy, it’s highly complicated to spot a proper obfuscated VPN connection. Amazon and Netflix, due to their size, manages to do it with the most popular VPN providers some of the time but it’s a constant battle going back and forth all the time. Saying that it’s “easily identified by an admin worth it’s weight” is simply not true, Netflix etc. has sophisticated VPN detection algorithms. Also, cheaters could easily rent some instance in the cloud outside of Asia somewhere and setup a VPN by themselves, it’s really not that hard.
Sometimes it’s people with restrictive governments sure but that’s hardly all of them. For example, there are students in campus housing having to use VPNs to get through the campus network, people with work PCs that are allowed to use them for private use but not allowed to turn the VPN off, soldiers in military bases, people using VPNs to circumvent stupid ISPs routing their connection badly, people who don’t want their ISP to spy on them and sell their data etc. etc. who all rely on VPNs in some form or another to play games.
