Aimbotters a Serious Problem in Star Wars: Battlefront ( PC version)

SWTORStrategies: "The PC market for Star Wars: Battlefront is seeing a serious problem with cheating. I recall when the same thing was happening on a massive scale with Counter-Strike and later, CS:GO. While cheating and hacking is still a problem, at least Valve has some safeguards in place to try to combat it and most private servers also have their own protocol for spotting, kicking and banning hackers."

Hackers are one of the biggest drawbacks for PC multiplayer gaming. So easy to obtain and so commonly used

Vhampir3809d ago

I have no doubt that it's happening, but i had numbers like that back in beta, no hacks required. I opted to not buy it, since I was bored after a couple hours.

Battlefield 3 and 4 still have aimbots, and have since day 1 on pc. People go so far as to pay a subscription fee to use bots.

Consoles aren't completely immune. Files can still be modified on the hard drives.

Gaming_Cousin3809d ago

They aren't completely immune but the frequency of it being used is far less. On the other side Valve and their VAC system continues to struggle against detecting hackers

frostypants3809d ago

This is why I only play FPS games on console now. Anyone claiming that cheating isn't rampant in PC shooters is lying or delusional.

Voids3809d ago

This is what happens when you make a 1 dimensional game, marketed as a casual experience that might as well be a f2p experience... people get bored as hell and begin turning to alternative means of "lulz"

antz11043807d ago

That's right. Blame the game for getting hacked. That's like robbing a bank and blaming the security for not being tight enough.

Voids3807d ago (Edited 3807d ago )

Lol Antz.

Actually... in response to your very "interesting" analogy, thats EXACTLY who you blame for not being tight enough. What else is the security there for? To look cool? Keep an old lady in order? Possibly insure that each child gets their well-deserve lollipop after waiting for their parents to make a deposit?

What I said is merely the PSYCHOLOGY behind a game with less depth - SOME people turn to other means of having "fun" at the expense of others.

I appreciate the opportunity to defend something you clearly enjoy playing which I have no problems with at all, shit people still play FarmVille, more power to them.

antz11043807d ago

Lol you mistake my representation. It's not about if the companies take on the series build was asking to get hacked, it's about if some people are shi##y enough to do it and others still to blame the game for it happening.It's not so much the psychology as you venting your frustrations on the game. That's psychology.

But hey, your take is cool too with lollipops and what not.

Thunder_G0d_Bane3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

People need aimbots for this easy mode game??? That's the real news loool

I didn't buy this game cause from beta not only was the gameplay shallow but the fact you're able to no scope kill players from across the map was just ridiculous.

Dice disappointed big time. But I'll wait for BAttlefield 5.

Koopdogg3809d ago

Yes but its harder to spot the aimbotters unless they rank up serious kills per round because DICE has made this game SO flippin noob friendly.

OpinionSmasher3809d ago

lets remember its easy to hack games that are rushed and under watched. Most PC games i play ive only seen a hacker a handful of times.
