Battlefield V BUSTED - NO ANTI CHEAT!!!!!!!!

[purecain]

I remember absolutely loving battlefield, then the hacks started and the game was just turned into a pile of crap.

other cheaters would then blazingly post that I simply cant play the game, and that if I didnt like it I shouldn't play at all.
the sentiment has been exactly the same on virtually every bf game.
so I didnt play bf4 after buying it as it was full of cheaters. It was apparent that the same cheats worked with the newer games. nothing had been done to prevent cheating. on principle I missed out the star wars series and only bought battlefield V as a last try. EA will now be getting a letter from me demanding they pay back the 70pounds I payed out for this cheat fest....

at this point the devs should hold their heads in shame as the game is mostly only still played by cheaters.

The main reason the cheats still work is because at 20 - 40 pounds the DEVS are raising millions of pounds selling their cheats. these people are all involved the devs of the game and the devs of the cheats. thats why the cheating has never stopped in over 10yrs on BF.....
I want my money back for a start!

and heres the proof

You know, that's exactly how i feel about BF series. Bloody cheatfest.

This reminds me.
Most BF streamers/channels are using bots and the kids watching think that it's legit gameplay.

Stay away from EA fps.

Cheating never stops. but I have seen a lot of hackers being banned through punkbuster throughout the years... The problem here is because EA has no plans to allow people to rent their own servers. there is currently no real way to deal with people who are hacking/botting. With private servers, there are occasionally mods and admins who play on them and will ban hackers from coming back before they eventually get picked up by punkbuster. EA/Dice are relying on their own form of anti-cheat and either that one guy they hire to review footage has been overworked and died so the bans have stopped or EA really just dont care.

EA/DICE have been throwing up nothing but excuses when it comes to the server rental programme. EA doesnt want it because they dont think it will get them a return on investment while DICE's excuse was that they would have to redesign part of the game to be able to run with private servers and all the other business that comes along with it.

Im sure they have tonnes of money to spare but even they dont see the game having any longevity.

without private servers being 'looked after' by admins and mods. The issue with hackers/botters are far more noticeable because there is nobody to kick or ban them from the server

Here is some advice: dont play it, stay away from EA. Its not rocket science, the company doesnt give a damn about the user base, the game will just get another release to part more fools with money. They do this with all franchises.

Anti cheat requires dedicated and continuous monitoring and moderation. That takes manpower, simple enough, and very few publishers actually make that investment. Blizzard is one that does... for as long as it might take.

Rampant cheating in any case will destroy online communities and it is very hard to turn that around. Ive only seen that in The Division which was a hackfest at laumch and took a year to get back on track.

That's why I steer clear of almost all multiplayer games. I don't mind being beaten by a player that is better than me or they are trying harder so they deserve to win but it's the not knowing if I lost for those reasons or lost because someone was using a cheat. That just takes the fun out of it for me. It seems like every time there is a rating or ranking system it just attracts cheaters.

I even remember playing checkers/chess/backgammon on Yahoo games against other players back in the late 90s and people were using programs to cheat on that even. That was pretty pathetic.

 

[FireFox]

That is one of the reason why i stopped playing almost every single online Game.

Same here. It's just not worth it to build up a skill-set for a game and then get plowed under by cheaters.

 

[Regeneration]

Why develop/lease anti-cheat when the audience keeps buying the same lousy game every year?

 

[FireFox]

the audience keeps buying the same lousy game every year?

Maybe the the majority of the audience don't get tired of getting owned by a Cheater or maybe it is masochism

Back in 2013, BF4 felt pretty hacked up to me too. I played a lot of the Metro and the Prison map and they seemed filled with aimbotters and wallhackers. It wasn't as bad for me back in 2011 on PS3 console BF3 and later in 2014-5 on PC BF3. Maybe the hackers had moved on for PC's BF3 by the time I started playing it a bit in 2015, EA had provided BF3 for free "on the house" and I found it was a lot more fun than 4 on PC.

I didn't buy BF5, BF1, and I actually bought BFHL because it was cheap from a key site, like around $10, and I enjoyed the stupid hijinx of the beta.

 

[Vayra86]

Ive seen it in BF3 and that was all I needed. One strike you're out in my book when it comes to cheating. There will always be a very tiny minority but if you meet hacks in more than one game out of every 10-15, take it as a clear sign to run away fast. If you cannot combat cheating, your shit aint worth playing, and if you rely on new releases to clean house, you dont understand online gaming. What needs to be done is 'one fell swoop' consisting of a massive ban wave and a new client that cleans house - and keeps it near-spotless.

Keep that in mind, I'd say... benefit of the doubt is no good here (as in buying yet another sequel).

 

[purecain]

lol it changes the game for me. I become a sole cheat hunter on a mission for revenge....you only have to look at my kill death rate to see ive been hammered a little by the cheaters and not given up. it does make you sharp against normal players...
ive never cheated personally so I just cant relate to people using hacks. I had a few players on hunt tell me they were amazing and then it became obvious they were switching on hacks to spot the other hunters and get shots off... I think the cheaters are missing out, as they will never get good! or know what it feels like to be truly skillfull.

 

[moproblems99]

Those are some lofty claims that the devs build the cheats.

 

[purecain]

think about the money involved... go check out the sites selling updated hacks... its big money. they have to be involved... but then i'm an eternal cynic...

 

[moproblems99]

The likely cause is they don't care. The money gained from selling the hacks don't make up for the lawsuits when discovered.

Those are scam sites. Most cheats are available publicly on forums and such.

I found some nice multi-hack for CS:GO for a friend of mine who kept whining about cheaters. He's cheating for 2 months now, he plays it every day, still not banned.

If you can't beat them... just find a better cheat then what they have.

 

[hat]

That might be a good way to make money in the short term... but when your games are constantly overrun by hackers and people get tired of that, you start losing your playerbase. At worst, I think there might be the possibility of a lack of effort working on weeding out cheaters because when they do get caught, they can just re-buy the game. But, you wouldn't want a system that works too well, otherwise nobody would be re-buying the game cause they'll just get busted again.

That said, I've seen a lot of people get accused of hacking when I thought they were legit. I've been accused of it myself (and no, I wasn't cheating). In addition, I find the idea of using hacks to "hack the hackers" laughable at best. Now someone is definitely hacking just because they think someone is hacking. Not saying there aren't cheaters out there, but I'm sure there's not as many as there are made out to be.

Not being able to run your own server is utter garbage, though. I probably wouldn't buy a game based on that alone... not just because I might want to run my own server (though I have in the past, it was pretty cool), but also because I might like somebody else's server. When you run your own server, you get to set it up the way you want and create your own atmosphere... and that's what you get to experience as a player. In my experience playing multiplayer games, people generally hop around from server to server until they find one (or a few) they like, and frequent those. When you're relying entirely on soulless corporate servers, you don't get that. It's also one of the reasons why I prefer PC gaming to console gaming... so when you're selling a PC game and you don't allow people to host their own server, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

I hear you.
i did the same when i used to play DOOM 2016.

Yeap maybe it's laughable but at least i/we had fun humiliating a Player that everytime he/she joined a Match just ruined it.

If i hunted a Player i was 200% sure he/she was cheating.

[Flyordie]

Yea, EA can rot.

 

[Vayra86]

Wow guys. You are really letting this get to you. There is nothing to be gained here at all... you won't win and are wasting quality time to get back at nobodies. Thats just giving them way too much credit IMO

 

[WhiteNoise]

I skipped BF4 due to the hacking...then bought BF1 thinking it might have changed...nope. As of now I will not buy another BF game again. Plenty of other games to play and not want to throw my mouse through my monitor.

 

[E-Bear]

Ah BF2 multiplayer also but less. A lot of playing admins back then.

 

[spectatorx]

I'm playing bf series since bad company 2, except hardline final but played this one in beta and kinda enjoyed it. In all these years there were literally few cases which i can count on fingers of a single hand where any player or group of players was just suspicious to say the least.

I spent literally over 1k h in bc2, literally few hours in bf3 as this one to me was bad and not enjoyable at all, in bf4 i spent 150h only to unlock one sniper rifle and one attachment to that specific rifle, otherwise it would end up the same way as bf3, to me both games were same bad. On the other hand i really enjoy bf1 and i find it amazing to my preferences, spent in it already 100h and going to spend some more. BFV is something what i plan to purchase once it will be available anywhere at 15 euros or less, that's how much i'm willing to spend on this game as bfv feels to me as patch/mod to bf1.

Back on cheaters... the only suspicious and amusing thing is that players with LMGs can usually gun me down from other end of the map with ease while i barely can see them with sniper rifle (i mainly play with sniper rifles). Also there is plenty of my teammates much closer to them but no, they spray towards me and their recoil is minimalistic. I found it common across all bf games i played.

At least in BC2, I could do the same with LMGs, or even shotguns. I believe it was the NS-2000 that could kill in a single hit, even way across the map, with magnum ammo and slugs. Two hits max... but one was usually enough. LMGs are pretty accurate actually, when you're not running around firing full auto from the hip. Get prone, or even crouch, zoom in and take 1-2 shots at a time, and you will keep good accuracy. Even better with upgrades like marksman and a 4x scope.

Now I feel like I want to go play BC2...
