What do you consider average? At the beginning of BFV, the “cheat sites” warned you not to go 30-0, because that made you obviously a cheater…Now, you see that every round.
Don’t ban the hackers ,just make it so they can’t see servers with legit players ,that way they can play vs other bot jockeys , if you ban them they will just get another account , don’t tell them and hope they don’t figure it out..
This is a great idea! Just throw all of the cheaters into the same server. Loool
We have to realize that 20 years ago those were between 10 and 20. Cheating was already popular in mp games back then. Now as a working adult they spent some small change and get some benefits from it.
20 years ago? 20 years ago Q2 Threewave came out for CTF. The only thing I can recall using was a quad timer to know when the power up would be up next (which a simple stop watch would do).
Communities were actually communities. You knew everyone. Servers were private. Two to three moderators on at any given time. Same with the first iteration of Unreal Tournament. I Miss Buzzards and Skippers Cove.
Plenty of cheaters in the form of wallhackers in soldier of fortune from 2000. Live admins needed to ban them etc etc.
So yeah, just as rotten back then as it is today. Nothing changed, nothing new under the sun, same ol same.
Back then there were already teenagers playing it on dad’s pc. Cheats could be found on the internet, protection wasn’t available.
But back then you also relied on dedicated servers from clans. hosted on some uni network and the likes.
Those teenagers are now between 30 and 40, and I don’t doubt they wouldn’t mind using a cheat in an online shooter. There is always that topdog, that good player with a faster connection etc, They wont hesitate and enable a cheat to get back at him.
If so, they sure turned into sad pitiful adults. You technically should have matured past this point by 30-40 years old…
If they dont want to do anything just give us a robust private server option. Some third party anti-cheat plug in will surface and the community will fix the problem. Once I find a cheat free server I am good, I actually like the game now and can handle everything else, just not the cheating.
I dont mind paying a clan 5-10 a month if that’s what it takes, I just want a good game and tonight a 125-2 player just chased everyone offline.
I would be upset as an investor, that a multi-million dollar project could be undone by some teenagers and a few thousand bucks.
Well said.
What a great thing BFV could be with proper servers, like those in BF4.
We need someone not employed by EA, not afraid of EA, to publish some of the statistics and more egregious cases of hacking (3+ week rage hacking). A game changer won’t do it, they get money from EA. We need someone that is a journalist. I’ve reached out to a few, but no bites.
13£ on origin at the moment and you still can’t entice me to get this mess on pc!
Please DICE add something like a vote kick or vote ban so players can kick out cheaters. If a player is vote kicked, he shouldn’t be allowed to join again for at least 12-24 hours.
As a European player that moved to Thailand for a while, I cant play BF anymore due to all the cheaters. I wonder if anyone at Dice ever joined a Asian server. If theres only one cheater at a game you are lucky. I played a bit today and I was on a server with 4 cheaters at the same time. Another match there was a cheater on both teams fighting to get the most kills. Some are not even trying to hide that they are using a hack, others are somewhat trying to hide that they are cheating. Some cheaters always know where you are on the map, and is aiming at you before you turn the corner, and will be able to shoot you even though they would never be able to see you. And some just point and shot and head shots all in that direction.
The Asian BF community knows that nothing happens reporting the players. Some cheaters even play with the same nick day after day. Im done playing after 14 days trying to find servers without cheaters.
I know that this wont change. The players i tracked from day one playing on Asian servers, are still active even though they are being reported by the whole server. So I think that BF lost the war on cheaters and hacks.
Maybe currently are more players cheating than playing it “normal”… So EA/DICE would ban more than half the “community”…
Haha.
Best advertisement a multiplayer game can have: cheater free!
No please don’t. Too many good players would get banned by naps.
110 pages on this thread and no reply from DICE…this is insane. So glad I’m on console - hang in there PC crowd
haven’t posted here before, but this February 2020, cheating seems to be at an all time high. Disgruntled players are leaving matches in considerable numbers once a cheater is found, leaving match results very much one sided. This is no fun for anyone except the warped mentally deficient mind of the sociopath cheater.
I’ve reported a couple of people earlier today, but gave up after the 3rd - 7th encounter. In every case, its people with exceptional aim ( long distance, and through smoke in single shots), and shooting through all terrain. The through terrain shooting seems particularly bad atm.
EA / Dice you need to up your game on cheaters. BFV is now suddenly NOT my ‘go-to-game’.
I am waiting for the new powerful Xbox series X that should come out near the end of the year for Battlefield. I guess Microsoft has better control of their servers than Dice PC. At less than the price of a high end graphics card, who would want to build an expensive PC with with high frame rates and discover you are a looser playing on a hack server. With my luck, Dice would decide later to connect their PC servers with Xbox. That would truly be the death of Battlefield. 
Currently, I have notice that some I have reported would have 20 various player names (very similar and not popular that a player would think of) already made up on file.
So. I liked to say our guy was at it again yesterday, but he was not without company.
Tracking him for 8 days and he has 8 straight day of rage aimbotting. He was not alone as this time he had a partner in crime. Keep in mind he has 3 tickets with video that I know of for sure, plus each of those tickets got a snagged game report daily of his rage aimbotting. Sadly he went 114-8 with 106 headshots with the Lewis and his partner went 116-5 with 111 headshots with the M1919A6.

Based on the number of tickets and EA’s support responses I am beginning to think that a bot is generating all the replies lol. Again though I will pull one piece from the email…
"Trust me when our player’s are unable to enjoy the game play that we offer that’s the last thing that we ever expect here at EA and is completely unacceptable to us. However this does not stops me from sharing with you that all the player’s that are manually reported are put under the scanner by the team and on a daily basis we are reporting huge volume of player’s and hence the manual investigation and action takes a bit time."
I missed an edit when I highlighted the Server as “Ranked”. Do they mean “rank” with cheaters?**
So when is BF6 coming out ? Will it have anti cheat .. RSP.. or just this nonsense .
