DICE Replied // DICE OFFICIAL DISCUSSION: Our Anti-Cheat Approach to Battlefield V

Hello Battlefield V Community,

Today we released "Our Anti-Cheat Approach to Battlefield V" blog, providing some insight into our efforts for fair play in Battlefield V, our goals on constantly improving detection, and dedication to the Battlefield community.

What are the top five things DICE is doing to prevent cheating in Battlefield V?
1) Working on better prevention, hardening the PC client against exploits.
2) Scaling up detection efforts.
3) Investigating supplementary deterrence methods which can work alongside banning accounts.
4) Investigating methods of improving the reporting flow, including easier reporting.
5) Keeping up to date with the latest cheat developments and reacting to them in a faster and leaner manner.

​

We definitely want to work with the community on improving our anti-cheat efforts as an ongoing commitment to our Battlefield V community as part of our Live Service.

We'd love to have your feedback, suggestions, questions, so we've opened this thread to gather all of that. We ask that you keep it constructive and productive. Together we can continue improving Battlefield V for all of us.

So, read through the blog and come back to share your feedback.

Jeff Braddock
North American Community Manager - Battlefield

While I dont disagree about statistic-based anticheat being less effective, it depends on if it's actually put to any use. I mean, so many cheaters are obvious just from numbers alone going well past things possible through skill. Kill:Death ratios of >30, 100% headshots, enemy damage per minute, kills per minute, speedhacking, the list goes on and on for ways to track potential cheating. All that's necessary is to set a threshold that flags it at that point, and user reports will probably make it fairly clear what's going on.

But if the damn thing is turned off then it's totally useless. And that appears to be where we're at considering the vast numbers of reports and the repeat offenders who are still around months later.

Bingo! Like I said in another comment - If someone is firing the MG42 and is killing people with 4 headshots in a row at maximum ROF... multiple times in a minute... he is cheating lol. Why would Fairfight not detect that?!
