I just started to play BF4 again and in every single official server there is an issue with hackers, usually within 1-2 rounds you will see a new one come in, lots of times they are all stacked on the same team. This is getting ridiculous, especially being on official servers. Going 100 and 0 while having no ability for “fair-fight” to detect is complete ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯!

when an anti cheat that works on statistics and in game behavior cant detect this it is completely useless

Unfortunately Dice/EA doesn’t allow admins to actually kick players from the server when it’s set to “official”. In our case we leave it up as official and the server fills up, people play all the time, but we get cheaters in the server. People start to have a fit but we can’t do anything about it. However… if we run the server as “ranked” we can kick anyone at anytime. When it’s set to ranked it never fills up because when people click “play now” it takes them to official servers. If Dice would allow admins to kick players from official servers then that would be a huge step.

Dont even see the point off official, do they really want noobs to press play now to end up on servers with hordes of aimbooters, that is good marketing.

^ Meh, they just did that to make it easy for those who don’t want to take the time to actually search for a good, well admined server. It’s much easier to just click a button for most.

Official servers are more like the ‘officially okay to hack’ servers. After all, cheaters are customers too, right?

Can’t wait to hear the reply after BF1 comes out and every server is an official server.  
.  
Yes, official servers are absolutely hack-infested. Used to be mostly the TDM servers were bad, but now the cheaters seem to be trying to compete to see who can hack more on CQ. Had a nice chat with one of ‘em the other day where he stated he had the 2nd highest K/D on the planet using his own cheat that he wrote.  
.  
When Gametime players could use any server, they were spread out. Now that they can only play on official servers, it concentrates them into just a few baskets. Gametime lets the hackers play for free, and hack without any concern whatsoever. They are immune. When they get Fairfight banned, they create another account and can be back playing in 5 minutes on the same server with the next version number of their series of cheating id’s. Fairfight might as well not exist on official servers.  
.  
That EA and DICE continue to do this to us speaks boatloads. What would be ideal is if every official server owner would turn it off. Just go dark. That would put an end to Gametime and put an end to the cheaters’ year-long romp[/quote]

Yeah, I can’t wait for the reply when BF1 ends up the same either, that’s why I’m just gonna sit back and watch DICE kill it. I think the game will end up like Hardline, I just have a feeling.

Since you already posted some comments in English I know you can understand this. This is the English forum where everyone posts and comments in English, so if you have something to say in another language I suggest you go to the appropriate forum for that specific language.

Thanks for understanding.

I am a firm believer that game time should have never existed, and that it’s done more harm than good.

I once asked if DICE would release the stats on how many people that had a game time account actually upgraded their account to the full game. I was curious to see how effective it was at bringing in new players, as opposed to if game time accounts were just being used to hack. I was met with a very stern “No, they will never release it” by one of the mods.

The basic idea behind gametime is okay. Try before you buy to see if you like the game. However, is it really painting your game in a good light when the only servers they can play on is also the primary place that hackers gather to ruin other peoples fun? If my first experience in a new game is filled with hackers because of a flawed system, I would immediately uninstall and find something else to play.

This exactly. I have that same “spidey” feeling going on with this release, hence there will be no release of my money on release, nor definitely on a pre order. I thought we learned our leasons from the past with EA folks? Never buy into their scheme of wowing you with that killer trailer for the game that doesnt point out the fundamental flaws in gameplay/admin tools

A lot of people pre ordered BF4 and look how that turned out at release, some may say “Oh but EA rushed them, it’s not DICE’s fault” but while it probably didn’t help, the game still wasn’t fixed well over a year later. BF1 will be put on the game time scheme and the hackers will flood in, just like BF4 and I’m not paying more money to get hacked against.

I got shot down by someone when I said the same thing

> [@](#):
>
> what if BF1 goes the same way as HL?

saying I didn’t know what the community wanted. It was only speculation.

Anyhow.. As admins have the ability to kick/ban on their servers if they run ranked means they can stream to third party anti cheat sites. Guess where cheaters go when they are banned by third party anti cheat sites? Yep you guessed it, servers that don’t stream and servers that run official where even if the server is streaming cannot enforce the ban these cheaters have. They get squeezed, its like cheater v cheater with innocent players caught in the crossfire.

Can’t comment about BF1 and its rumours yet cause I would rather comment on the facts. We’ll see when BF1 comes out what is actually going to happen in regards to server rental, RCON control and anticheat. Once that happens I will comment positively, negatively or both.
