With Battlefield 2042 shaping up to be a popular return for Dice’s long-running first-person shooter, it’s important that EA clamps down on cheaters early on, as no one wants to play a competitive game that’s inherently broken due to hackers. But unfortunately, hackers and cheats continue to devise more ways to manipulate the game and cause misery for every player who chooses to play fair.
We’ve seen it time and time again in games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends and PUBG, where developers spend just as much time thwarting hackers as they do updating a game.Ĭall of Duty has permanently banned 300,000 players worldwide since launch, and a further 60,000 back in February who were caught using cheat software.
Some get caught, but the more sophisticated hacks become, the harder it is for developers to determine whether foul play is involved.ĭue to being an online competitive shooter, Battlefield 2042 is bound to be flooded with players who want to gain an unfair advantage. With online streaming now the norm, many 'pro' gamers rise to stardom by using hacks to trick their audience into thinking they’re more skilled than they actually are.
