Battlefield 6

Cheating is so prevalent now even when you don't think you're playing cheaters, you are. Soft-toggling and walling are pretty hard to determine unless you get to spectate the player for a long time and most people don't. There's people who play these games with wall hacks for years and never get busted. With over the top aim assist from controllers as well it's hard to know who's actually cheating and "legally cheating" as well.

That said with some of the former BFs I think if enough of the current game reported some one for cheating they got kicked from the match at the very least. We'll see if they're willing to risk the griefing to at least leave that option in the game.

With the advent of AI, I cant believe they are not leveraging some sort of AI tool to mine for hackers. Im sure they could come up with something.

There was a startup that used AI to detect cheating, but they even said themselves that the tools that AI would use to detect cheating can also be USED to cheat. It was an interesting video that made the rounds from the bigger FPS streamers for a while. Not sure if anything is coming out of it 2 years later.

Yeah, cheating has basically become a built-in feature of online FPS games at this point. The only title that's managed to keep it under control is Valorant. But of course, gamers collectively lost their minds over the idea of an anti-cheat that actually works. Apparently, giving a program kernel-level access is some horrifying invasion of privacy because everyone's convinced their PCs contain state secrets, when in reality it's just a glorified shrine of outdated memes and furry porn. So instead, we all get to enjoy wallhacks, aimbots, and "totally legit" headshots in every lobby.

If it's done well. BF6 was a nightmare to get running for some. (A few hours with extra nerd cred friend diving into shit I dont understand) and then you still saw hackers semi regularly in beta.

Forget name, but gigabeef from tarkov was pushing a company that essentially creates a shared pool game companies can work with that basically universally bans people like VAC/Steam back in the day. I think it went further with basically using ID etc to verify who you are so even the folks that can evade hardware bans would be caught up in it.

thats why im just gonna play with EA Pro for $18, if cheating is out of hand it didn't cost me $70 or whatever

you can also buy $25 of EA Pro cards from amazon, best buy, gamestop etc which usually has even more discounts and stuff, like i had a $10 free cert at best buy so 1 month of Battlefield 6 will just be $8 for me, and it gives you the rainbow gay edition with all tramp stamps preattached too

only bummer is you can only access via the EA desktop client, not in steam
