What’s amazing about the current state of cheating and this discussion, is we all predicted this would happen last summer before release; this outcome was kind of expected. I was ok with removing the antiquated PB, but to not replace it with ANYTHING was ludicrous. Removing the server rental program and ANY admin control at launch meant that PC communities (you know the ones that BUILT this franchise BTW) could not offer any help in managing cheating at all. WE WERE EVEN PAYING FOR THE SERVERS. It’s perplexing why EA would allow this to happen until you realize that they may be actually trying to eliminate the PC platform altogether to focus on consoles which by comparison do not have as much of a cheating issue. From a business point of view, why spend resources to manage the PC platform problems if the console customer base is so much higher?
Yeh well I just coughed so hard that I farted so hard that I coughed from the fart. GOML noob XD
holy cow were the cheaters out tonight. Its gettin real bad lol
I swear it’s getting worse every day. Honestly I think the trouble is the numbers of all players dropping, seems to make the cheaters more obvious/unavoidable
Yea that is because people already knew that its easy to get away with cheating and tons of people decided to cheat the themselves, as a result cheaters would get bored of the game quickly and non-cheater are getting sick of cheaters as there is no real incentive to play the game.
Back when Pokemon Go was a thing everyone I knew uses gps cheat. So, I started cheating myself and soon I got bored within a week and completely stop. Even after the ban wave and fixes I can’t be bothered to go back to the game.
My account didn’t ban for some reason likely due to the fact I didn’t hit minimum requirements to be considered as a cheater.
Unfortunately “cheating” is part of modern online multiplayer FPS on PC. I’m sure DICE do all they can with a limited budget and “legal” detection methods. There are always going to be those that will cheat.
The very nature of a PC and people means you can only do so much.
There are some franchises that make it much harder. There are also companies that go after the hack creators. Battlefield 1 hacks are being SOLD online. If EA and Dice were serious, they’d start up some lawsuits and takedowns of websites. They could learn a lot from Blizzard.
Yes - it is extreme.
I follow the chat on cheaters forums and guess what: the cheaters are laughing at BF1 and FF and some of them write thathey cant understand that BF1 doesnt have another anti-cheat function… omg! when are the developers going to wake up?
It’s not that straight forward though. There are developers who make hacks for like 40+ games for years. If they were concerned about a takedown or legal battle, they would be gone by now. Instead, they are updating and releasing hacks to be sold like a factory.
Blizzard for example has been engaged in a legal battle with a popular WoW bot since 2012. The bot during this time is still being developed, sold and used and they have actually put forward a decent defense.
Then there are many free hacks for Battlefield. With no worries or concerns about client side detection, why would anybody bother paying for one?
While something like CS:GO is certainly not hack free, at least VAC acts as a deterrent to the opportunist cheaters. There is always the little fear that the hack could become detected at anytime without warning. On this game, that is absent. The attitude now is that as long as you’re careful, you should be ok which attracts more people to use them.
Having said that, hacking is blown out of proportion. I don’t doubt there is more than normal, but it’s not so serve that the game is unplayable. I’ve put hundreds of hours into this game and have been playing FPS games since 1998 and I can say that cheating is not as serve as some of these posts suggest.
The game itself is just riddled with bugs, rubberbanding etc which people may mistake for a form of cheating. If cheating is so bad that you cannot play a single game without an obvious one (like many of you claim) then you must be playing a different game.
Like the rest of you I’ve spend £££ on the Battlefield franchise but the fun is starting to leave the game unless your using a cheat!
If things don’t get better soon then I won’t be buying anymore Battlefield games and I know a few other players that have had enough too.

lol, dice should pull one of theese.
You are constantly contradicting yourself and changing the goal posts. First, you say I’m inaccurate with my explanations of these cheats and cheaters and yet you still haven’t explained precisely why I’m inaccurate, while simultaneously agreeing with me that they’re videos of actual cheaters. Now you’re saying that 1% of the videos show cheating, but then say it’s not enough of a confirmation of a cheater? Do you even know what you’re saying anymore?
Not only that, you’re making stuff up about what I’ve said. I’ve never used the word “suspicion” or “suspicious” to describe what these videos are and only put them in quotations once to express what you and others keep saying that they are, as if they’re not videos of actual cheaters. And again, it seems you won’t actually go through the videos to describe or prove that I’ve been inaccurate.
The only person that is confused right now is you. You need to teach yourself to stick to a point and prove it. Otherwise, I’m not going to respond to your contradictions and falsehoods anymore.
I have never been an elite BF player, not in 1942, or 2, or 3 , or 4, or 1, or any of the bad companies. I have always been an average player with a below or around 1 KD that got nice points for playing to objectives to help the team win.
I have seen cheaters in other BF games, not often, but sometimes… With Battlefield 1 it is an epidemic. I bought BF1 preordered with premium and I can say pretty confidently this will be my last battlefield game. It’s quite sad as over the last 15 years I have enjoyed playing the games, unfortunately the rampant cheating in this release has left a foul taste in my mouth.
I’m not the kind of player to go around accusing people of cheating, I get it. Some people are really good. I’ve got a friend that is insanely good at battlefield, but he was a top 1% of players in the world for years… Now guys are making even him look average. I can’t imagine the skill level of so many players rose so quickly in just one revision of the game from BF4 to BF1.
So after the first DLC release I played thinking perhaps they had edited the anti cheat. Unfortunately it was very noticeable the first night that the scum of the earth were still in games. Therefor I am laying down my battlefield rifle… It makes me extremely sad that I have to go to someone like Blizzard to get a FPS that bans cheaters. If that’s what it takes to get my entertainment dollar’s worth I guess that’s what I will do.
Game is on borrowed time, last night there where multiple blatent cheaters in the one game I played, some openly admitting it with cryptic innuendo messages.
There was another player playing that I’ve personally spectated and recorded hacking with a blatent aimbot, and submitted to EA.
Can’t believe they’d let someone continue playing after being caught running a rage aimbot…
The thing is, they are doing NOTHING ! which is why I, like thousands of others have left this pile of dung to rot, Only took me 30 hours to see what was happening, shame people are still blinkered
the videos @TEC4Roe is posting is a 150% cheater, unless he has a miserable score. Dont try to defend cheaters with things like “Think about it man, if you accuse even ONE legit player of hacking, nobody is going to take ANY of your videos seriously EVER”. Please what a non-sense. I also have videos of 100% cheaters, but in the past i posted a video with the description “cheater?” about a guy shooting trough a wall while i was running to cover. Some time later I understood that its was probably because the ping correction thing that DICE implemented. I was killed beind cover. Yet, I have other videos where you will agree all the way with me thats a cheater, some of them 1-shot LMG heroes (glad I dont see that hack anymore).
In all honesty it’s a good game and i hope they have something in the pipeline but from now on its ps4 pro only for this game.
You clearly don’t understand. Just because I agree with your conclusions, does not mean I agree with all of your methods. Some of them are fine, and some are easily explicable by reasons other than cheating and do not support, but undermine, your conclusions.
Whatever, your loss.
Ahem, at no point in time whatsoever did I ever come even close to defending hackers. What I defended, is providing IRREFUTABLE PROOF of them hacking so they get banned for being scum and ruining our game. I defended the notion that the insane flood of false hackusations weighs down the anticheat systems with ‘noise’ and that certain standards must be met if hackusations are to be avoided, so as to streamline anticheat, and get rid of these scum ASAP. I’ve never questioned that the guy is hacking or suggested it’s OK, I’ve just pointed out some of the false evidence of those hacks, among the valid evidence, so that REAL valid evidence can do it’s job.
I’m just gonna leave these three quotes here next to each other…
