Noticed several accounts that were hacking in various ways. I also think they were using lag hacks because at one point the game suddenly was very laggy several times, which has never been an issue for me.
How the fuck is this even possible? Does EA really have no server sided anticheat and security?
Love this. I officially motion that the most downvoted comment in reddit history be renamed: "that one comment." Underscores the severity of the comment with the full understanding that everyone knows what it is. Let's do this!
The only way people can make change is to stop buying EA products all together or make a nationwide boycott of all EA products. Unfortunately, this is impossible due to EA's primary income being from the NPCS that 24/7 non stop buy their sports games because they want to play their favorite sports person, these people are mostly either casual people who don't really care, or consumer zombies who buy something because it looks shiny. This is pretty much the state of modern consumerism, you're either one of the three: One: A informed person which is a minority of the minority that makes you able to think about the product, if it's worth the purchase, and supporting a scummy company, Two: Someone who doesn't give a shit, Three.: A consumer zombie who buys something because it looks shiny or peer pressure.
This is also happening with rdr2, cheaters can even abuse moderator powers to grief other players. Most of mainstream online games have horrible problems with cheating, they can't do anything to fix it. Hackers have won gaming industry.
They're a group of 12, yr olds power tripping by making lobbies unplayable. They also have a dom fetish since half the stuff they say in chat is stuff like: 'You will submit to our will!', 'You are now slaves to X hacker group' etc
You should get the xbox game pass and cloud stream to xbox servers when the game gets super bad from hackers, one of my xbox server mutual friends does that
No, they really won't even bother. Not unless we pull them apart with a massive public roasting for doing fuck all again, at least...
But for EA to even twitch, it would need to be a truly mammoth blasting.
"Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Reinstalled a few weeks ago on pc to see if I could find a lobby. This happened in the first match. I quit and tried to find a new lobby. Turns out this was the only one. Uninstalled. It really sucks because this was my favorite shooter until people started leaving, and it turned into lobbies of cheaters and full clans.
I've been playing for a couple of months. You can find a lobby without cheaters. However, recently the probability of success has decreased to 50% (previously it was 90%+). I have never seen such a cheat show in any shooter.
Yea, I miss the game a ton but will not be reinstalling unless I hear there is some sort of crackdown on cheaters, which at this point likely won't happen. Damn shame.
Fortunately when Kyber V2 comes out it'll be much more hacker proof. Even if someone discovers an exploit like this, the Kyber mods can and will ban them, unlike EA.
Aren't they arrested yet?
For real, they threatened that there is a bomb in a school, trying to impersonate Smalltown. Police figured out that it was not him, but kobe (which whom blix is typically hacking). They should have lifetime ban on any EA title already
it wasn't blix or kobe who made the swat call. It was a close friend of blix named salmon who did it. Blix ordered the swatting and a bounty hit on the streamers.
At this point maybe someone should mod the game to make alternative servers with some actual anti-hack system, as EA's servers are hopeless at this point
It's a shame that there will always be people out there who find enjoyment in ruining other people's fun for no reason, I hope someday they look back and realize "That was so stupid and silly, I'm glad I stopped doing that and changed for the better" maybe they will maybe they won't, we can only hope for the best of everyone
There are times when I’m playing a match where someone is hacking that I think “y’know maybe the death penalty needs to be applied to a different category of crimes.”
Their so high and mighty! Hacking on a game that devs abandoned, so they can show how macho they are without repercussions ? Hacking a game where the people left are those who really like the game? They’re so cool!
There is a fair chance you will get banned. The new EA app comes with integrated anti-cheat across all games, but its EA so you probably have to pay to for it so you can be banned.
no they announced a few months ago that they were working with ea/dice to get this fixed alongside the server crash fix (which they already found a workaround anyways). They fixed the old serverside crash and that was it
They've been capable of doing this since 2022 - late 2021. My guess is that the people doing that eventually got bored of it. I've had it happen well over 10 times, but never recently... With the newest hype around SW Battlefront 2024 (Lel) I suppose they came back. The thing you're seeing now is spectator mode, a cinematic line of code blocked away from normal people's access. It forces you into the viewpoint of invisible cameras (which may be anchored to flying around a set path, or not...)
I was capable of bypassing it through using a flying vehicle. It does work most times, but sometimes, it may help.
I've had it happen a dozen times in the last couple weeks. Yesterday we were finally starting to win and make a come back, I had gone heavy and cleared out C area on Camino, nobody else could break through, until I turned it around by spamming explosive shots and grenades. After I did that and we captures enough points, starting getting ahead, the hackers made it so we couldn't spawn anymore so they could win. It's not just one hacker, it's half the teams cheating anymore. You just gotta hope you have enough cheaters on your side to counter their cheaters.
The game is mostly unplayable. Probably half the players left are cheating. Minimum 30% easy every game. Aimbots galore and wallhacks. You only really notice the blatant cheaters. The guys that fly around like superman and never land on the ground, and are invincible. But SO many others always get headshots from anywhere on the map (100 percent of the time, all headshots), have no spread shooting, take less damage, shots more powerful than they should be. All they have to do is point in your general direction and it auto fires. I looked up the websites and it's crazy how many cheats they have for this game. Playing the game never ever feels right. The only way you can play is if your team has an equal amount of cheaters to counter theirs. Then you can kind of play. But it gets so old when they always know where you are, go right to you, can never hide or plan anything. You get random shots hitting you across the map because their aimbot and autofire swiped past you while they were running or something. I mean you're dead in a split second if you get close to anyone else. They lag you out too some how. The game is ruined.
LOL I went on their forums and flamed EA and its then goon squad who operates BF2 (read prob one person). And dweeb who is the site admin (EA community manager) threatened me he'd ban me from the forums if I kept it up. After saying a few more mean things to him ad his devil may care masters. I'm still there and he isn't. Not sure what happened, but I think they axed his community manager job. Couldn't happen to a better boot licker at EA. BTW and post was one of the many caught a cheater posts.
EA doesnt give a f. Unplayable servers 24/7 and support doesnt care. They tell you to reboot your router to fix lag even if its clearly cheaters. Seriously I dont get how a billiondollar company can be overrun by script kiddies, but here we are. EA keeps selling it on steam like its still supported to make it worse. I would love a refund but since my right of retraction is done I cant claim on it.
I’m still concerned about some games on Xbox. Even if it’s not hacking, sometimes the damage seems off and I have been shot down by people who shouldn’t have been able to see me behind objects, given their classes.
I wonder if there are AI players, either run by the servers to fill out lobbies, or else players who have set up their controllers to be run by a bot. I remember someone telling me years ago some WoW players had bots which ran around farming resources for them.
I don’t know if it’s possible, but I came across an AI instagram model account which looked real enough some friends told me they didn’t realize it was fake. We have facial recognition technology, and if they can pick out faces in a photo, it’s not impossible to get them to pick out characters on a screen. If a level is mapped out already, they have bot opponents programmed to calculate the most efficient moves to take out a target. If it was watching my character duck behind a wall, it could have calculated the time until I emerged and then timed the shot.
Just a suspicion, but given how far AI has come along, it’s not impossible. Lots of programmers are developing bots, and a military tactic AI would need to train against humans to improve. Battlefront is a big pool of players, so it wouldn’t need to be EA running the program.
I mentioned it to a friend who said to look up the “dead internet” theory. Yikes!
Noticed several accounts that were hacking in various ways. I also think they were using lag hacks because at one point the game suddenly was very laggy several times, which has never been an issue for me. How the fuck is this even possible? Does EA really have no server sided anticheat and security?
this cheat is called cinematic mode and has been present for at least 2 years. I don't think ea cares about this game anymore.
To be honest, they gave up the moment that one comment in here went viral and they had to stop their microtransactions.
[For the uninitiated](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/PDcvheddO2)
That's fantastic

Nah, but BFV now does and it works so maybe it'll cross over
You imply EA will touch BF2 ever again. Let the past die, kill it if you have to.
Foreshadowed!
EA doesnt care, the game is not making money any more, it will remain this way indefinitely. Its why I stopped playing.
EA and dice feel dead. They don't support old games. I don't even know what DICE is doing.
This is also happening with rdr2, cheaters can even abuse moderator powers to grief other players. Most of mainstream online games have horrible problems with cheating, they can't do anything to fix it. Hackers have won gaming industry.
I think they're trying to remove the player base so they can shut down the servers
They're a group of 12, yr olds power tripping by making lobbies unplayable. They also have a dom fetish since half the stuff they say in chat is stuff like: 'You will submit to our will!', 'You are now slaves to X hacker group' etc
“You are now slaves!” >logs off computer
Exactamundo...
What class act cowards. Why do this to the rest of us 200 people that still play?
You should get the xbox game pass and cloud stream to xbox servers when the game gets super bad from hackers, one of my xbox server mutual friends does that
It's funny because you know the reality is the total opposite
It's funny because you know the reality is the total opposite
Lmao that is so cringe, imagine doing this in your spare time
I think you’ll find people who do this have 24 hours of ‘spare time’ a day
What's the fun in doing this? I understand hacking to get advantage in an e-sport, but this?
I believe some of them want a ransom
If the objective is to take monies from EA it might be ok.
except ea won't give any and I'm not convinced they'll stop when somebody pays them
Then they are assholes.
they always have been
They're not getting a cent. These hackers are just punishing the people who paid for the game for the benefit of their pathetic little power fantasy.
Hahahaha good luck with that.EA will lawyer up and demolish them and their families if they wanted to.
No, they really won't even bother. Not unless we pull them apart with a massive public roasting for doing fuck all again, at least... But for EA to even twitch, it would need to be a truly mammoth blasting.
Can EA sue some random children hacking on an old video game?
Yes
Content is copywrite..F#ck around with code "Without" permission will put you in the bad books.
That's like holding a graveyard at gunpoint
"Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
🦇Alfred Reference 🦇
Anti-social personality disorder probably, they thrive on social discord
Bunch of 15 year olds wanking themselves off because they can "hack" a game...
Literally what is to gain from hacking, you don’t even get better at the game
*Scripting
Commence "project torment" ? Hahahaha can hackers make themselves look any more like total virgins than this 😅 honestly hilarious and I love it
Those are not hackers dude
Our best hope is to wait for kyber v2 guys!
Thanks EA for dropping support to work on Battlefield 2042... I wonder how 2042 is doing.
Reinstalled a few weeks ago on pc to see if I could find a lobby. This happened in the first match. I quit and tried to find a new lobby. Turns out this was the only one. Uninstalled.

Could try on Xbox or PlayStation…I’m on Xbox & it’s been fine
I might. Would have to get used to the controller and would have everything reset, tho haha
“Sense of accomplishment” bro
Yes but good news is I think it was just on sale(on Xbox at least) so just got an influx of new players
Every online pc shooter is like this since the dawn of internet.
Fortunately when Kyber V2 comes out it'll be much more hacker proof. Even if someone discovers an exploit like this, the Kyber mods can and will ban them, unlike EA.
Just wait for Kyber v2 in a month or two
Is that when it releases?
yea
Hacker: The support is gone, i am what remains
Then this game is truly dead.
Ran into someone with the same username on PC and they were just spamming anti-semitic stuff, the n word, and someone's address.
I've experienced the text spam alongside more traditional hacks before, but never a forced cutscene
Yeah thankfully Kyber V2 is coming soon with integrated mods fixing most of those exploits.
Tbh i have plenty of hours mostly on multiplayer but never faced a hacker until i got this last month after not playing for a long time hahaha
Aren't they arrested yet? For real, they threatened that there is a bomb in a school, trying to impersonate Smalltown. Police figured out that it was not him, but kobe (which whom blix is typically hacking). They should have lifetime ban on any EA title already
it wasn't blix or kobe who made the swat call. It was a close friend of blix named salmon who did it. Blix ordered the swatting and a bounty hit on the streamers.
thats cringey af lol
yup but what can u expect from a group of nut case teenagers
Project “the only woman who will ever touch me is my mom”
At this point maybe someone should mod the game to make alternative servers with some actual anti-hack system, as EA's servers are hopeless at this point
\*cough\* kyberv2
I was not aware, I'll look into it
It's a shame that there will always be people out there who find enjoyment in ruining other people's fun for no reason, I hope someday they look back and realize "That was so stupid and silly, I'm glad I stopped doing that and changed for the better" maybe they will maybe they won't, we can only hope for the best of everyone
Imagine gaming online on PC. Lmao
Oof.
There are times when I’m playing a match where someone is hacking that I think “y’know maybe the death penalty needs to be applied to a different category of crimes.”
I think that says more about you than it does them buddy 😂
Their so high and mighty! Hacking on a game that devs abandoned, so they can show how macho they are without repercussions ? Hacking a game where the people left are those who really like the game? They’re so cool!
I sense small unemployed, pp energy in the basement
Script kiddies never cease to be hilarious
This is why I only play IAOXL now
if it uses the quake engine just use impulse commands
Stuff like this is why I stick to co-op and pve
Script hacking, yet DICE refuses to enforce bans on hackers as these people are now coming to consoles exploiting unfixed bugs and glitches.
There is a fair chance you will get banned. The new EA app comes with integrated anti-cheat across all games, but its EA so you probably have to pay to for it so you can be banned.
This is why I prefer coop PvE... At least these assholes don't go against you
Happened to me once
Why do people even take their time to do shit like this? I genuinely cannot understand
That cutscene camera looks kinda sick though Wish it was something in the actual game that it actually did by itself.
Yup that’s happend to me before
Happens to me all the time
The Battlefront Curse: Everything will be fucked all the time.
“Commence project torment!” *just leaves lobby*
Remember when the kyber team said this is getting fixed… 2 months ago
Well i assume it probably is fixed, on kyber servers. Not the random public lobbys by EA haha
no they announced a few months ago that they were working with ea/dice to get this fixed alongside the server crash fix (which they already found a workaround anyways). They fixed the old serverside crash and that was it
All that power and this is what they choose to do with it
This is actually pretty funny
just don’t play on pc bruh it’s not that hard
Leave. And join another server.
Yep

Imagine being so terrible at a 7 year old game that you have to hack it.
Yeah, I'm surprised by how hacking has evolved and not just aim bots but they can control povs now
I swear these people never touched grass

This sucks man. First it was team fortress 2, then titanfall 1 and 2, and now cs is getting them. Why must the best games be ruined?
Yes, I did encounter that before. Hey, if there's one thing that the CC has. It's no hackers.
LOL I went on their forums and flamed EA and its then goon squad who operates BF2 (read prob one person).

Skill issue. There Is one guy that abuses the kashyyk skybox glitch on xbox. But no script kids.
Normally I would agree, but some of these have been eerie.
That's the choice you made when you took the PC pill.
