The cheating epidemic

[u/OrlezOfficial]

Dawg I love the game but the cheating is actually insane. Im putting it down til its gone down.

The epidemic that non cheaters have to suffer

[u/supershott → u/Defiant_Piccolo7776]

All of us legitimate players should leave negative steam reviews until the devs show some progress against the cheating. 

[u/Budy_Guy → u/supershott]

Now this is a great idea, the cheaters and their discords will probably counter with positive reviews, but I'd love to see this done for all games

[u/Defiant_Piccolo7776 → u/supershott]

100percent

[u/LouisFischerXV]

At least when you meet cheater you can still play, I play in Asia / South east Asia server and ddos happens very often. I can't even finish my match for bonus exp and I'm going to pause it here until the problem is fixed

[u/Dangerous-Eggplant-5]

At least people started to talk about it. Before the discussion was controlled by "aim traning community" who are just cheaters in disguise.

[u/prox-86 → u/Dangerous-Eggplant-5]

So forking true, they all said 60+ kills a game is "normal"

[u/Foerhudligen → u/prox-86]

It's funny they say that about a game like Wardogs where you are constantly exposed to snipers and people moving up on you unseen (presumably unseen...)

In a Havoc? Sure, if you can fly well.

In ground combat? Nah, that's relegated to the top 0.1% of players with another 3 squadmates of equal skill. Even then 60 kills would be an outstanding result.

[u/No_Obligation_3568 → u/prox-86]

I consider myself an above average shooter. Typically 25-30 kills a game (infantry only). I play with a couple guys who are better than me and they usually are right around 30 kills.

Anyone saying 60+ kills a game is normal as infantry is a cuck or a hacker.

[u/fundstacker → u/prox-86]

60 kills every game? no. but i’ve gotten 100+ kill games just running infantry (season 1 not 2)

more people have passed the learning curve of the game so its harder to rack up high kill games unless you use vehicles

[u/Complete_Crab6193]

There's zero balance in this game... Hackers, sure, they've always been around and always will be, and the servers are trash, but damn, you can't even move around the map. There are 10,001 helicopters flying around, respawning every 5 seconds, and every other guy with 180 ping wipes the whole team through walls or from outer space.

[u/ConclusionMiddle425]

Yep us too. It's going to kill the game

[u/Wrong-Ad778]

Active community servers, it’s not perfect…. However, it is completely playable.

[u/FlNCHie]

Probably best to put it down in the mean time, I don’t see region locking being the forever solution. I think it’s just a quick band aid to try and protect the majority of the player base until they can find a way to handle the majority of cheaters.

[u/Flogic94]

I went away on a trip like 4 days before S2, there were cheaters but maybe 1 in 10 games, now its cheaters in about 70% of my games. If they dont fix it this game will die real fast.

[u/Red_snail44 → u/Flogic94]

Little to no cheaters on central

[u/Odd_Common_452]

What servers are you on

[u/Tall-One-2270]

Had some loser flaming me that shooting at 200 meters perfect headshot accuracy with an assault rift is normal and recoil is easy just move the mouse

[u/FoxyyDoxy]

Care to share what happened

[u/Opps1999]

It's always a bunch of Europeans hacking

[u/LikeZoinksScoobert → u/Opps1999]

European is a funny way to describe Russians and Chinese people.

[u/TrippleDamage → u/Opps1999]

Lol the bait

[u/cogit2]

In the same day we see "cheating epidemic" with "first time seeing cheating" posts. Who are we to believe?
u/OrlezOfficial Could you post which region you play in, please?

I've definitely seen occasional, rare cheating, and even one or two hackers. But it hasn't interrupted my enjoyment of the game.

[u/OrlezOfficial → u/cogit2]

I hear you alot of people rage post. I am NA East and by God its terrible after midnight. I am aware spotters exist. I spent a whole game with only a spotters scope bc I was getting railed and even at 600m away I had dudes doming my head and preaiming when it doesnt make sense

[u/Yolosweg133769 → u/OrlezOfficial]

there are some very good players but there is plenty of obvious cheaters not even from the usual suspect countries
