Well they are good at it, I don't think people who do not cheat understand what the mindset is for a cheater. It feels like there is this automatic assumption 'they are pathetic' 'they do this for X', and that's not at all what it is. Like it or not, they are beating people. They have a handicap and people feel their own way about it, but injecting your own emotions into the situation keeps you from seeing how they feel. Even in this interview Ghost kind of put his own bias into the conversation. They just don't see themselves the way you see them. Similar things could be said about any form of cheating, outside of videogames as well. It is a very common practice, and it's not always about being a "kink" as you suggest. Dude even said it's not about the game anymore, it's about the meta game of looking legit while playing with cheats, ie their interactions with the lobby/admins rather than the game itself. In many ways you're playing into it by trying to ridicule them, they'll just see you as someone overcome by rage as a result of your own incompetence. No offense intended, of course.

I don't think cheating can be stopped by conventional anti-cheat software as the cheat developers will always be one step ahead. As with other industries, it always struck me that data-based anti cheat is the better choice. Look at all the data across the player base (the millions of shots with each gun, at each range etc) and develop a distribution profile of what is 'reasonable'. Then look not only at the p1 but the p0.1 of player outcomes which repeat for a given player -- basically, statistically so improbable there is an exceptionally high chance that player is cheating. Send their data to a human analyst for review (possibly record them in game if the company can do that) and boom --- cheater banned. Our firm uses AI do do a highly similar though unrelated (and far more serious) tasks today. Don't accept it can't be done at very low cost.

So they spend a few million on legal fees only to find the exact same cheats up a different IP/registered in a different nation in a few minutes, assuming there is a legal way to do that in the nation in question of course. I imagine the only way to really get this to diminish is to go after the users of the cheats in a legal manner, which is draconian as it gets. theres also the mega slippery slope of if you let one group of software publishers go after some people who sell modifications to software you are opening up the flood gates for all software devs/publishers being able to legal pursue anyone who makes software that may modify their product. I'm thinking an end to Overclocking cpu/gpu or to people being able to make mods, I mean just look at how Bethesda likes to go after modders to sell they work themselves, A law letting devs go after people who make 'cheats' is just one legal argument away from going after that mod author who lets you start with an extra stimpack in fallout, because its cheating

6:47 I think that's good point. I also used to cheat for a while as a kid (until banned in Warcraft 3 😂), because I just couldn't handle losing. Now as an adult I would never do that.

Really insightful into how these people legitimize their business of developing and selling cheats. Really disappointing.

I would like to hear the full interview.

Until the consequences of cheating outweigh the benefits, it will continue. Would love to see all of the major studios come together and work to combat the problem across all of their games. You get caught cheating in Battlefield, you get banned across all of your other games as well.

Most hackers use "No recoil," which is like rapid fire. Basically 1 shot = 10. I had it in 2008. It isn't ever detected

Sure, complete interview would be really nice, I am highly interested in the topic as the BF player since 2002 Regarding the guy I can understand the excitement in doing it because for him it is a challenge, it is who is smarter, he or his team and EA or someone else and their team, not justifying what they do (I had bf1942 and bf2 servers for 10 years) in his mind is likely the fact that despite the challenge, from the moral point, if he is not making hacks, other would continue to provide, so it does not make a huge difference for the community it is he or someone else. Main point and the problem for the community which want the games without a hacks is what he said in the end - it cost companies more than hurt them and they are not willing to pay all that money to fight hacks because it is cheaper to make them than to fight them... Pity, as a long term BF fan I would really like to play cheater free BF, even to pay some month subscription to play on administered no cheater servers. IMHO BF4 solved that pretty neatly by the private servers, people took care of their servers and everything was pretty much ok. Good interview thank you very much, if possible please provide longer version.

Nice stuff dude.

Love the Angel Support setup! 🙂

I can kind of see what he's saying, in that he basically does it for a challenge, sticking two fingers to 'the man' etc. almost fair enough, he's clearly talented and has found a way to profit from it. I think the real problem lies with the players who buy these cheats and like with many things I guess, supply will only stop with a massive drop in demand. As for me, I just tend to report anyone with a dodgy score etc. and hope for the best, as there is no real way to tell if people are cheating. I have had two or three emails from DICE to say that action has been taken, but they don't say to who and what the action was, which is fine. BTW, it does take quite a lot for me to report people, just saying :). Anyway great content as always. Cheers.

How sad it is to know that there are people who are looking for a way to win and be better at simple video games. It becomes so common to them that they end up lying to themselves all their lives. It's like saying: I'm a world champion but I lied to achieve it 😂😭

This was fascinating. You definitely didn't pull any punches and were borderline accusatory in your questioning - good! Props to him for recognizing that he's basically scum and has to have tough skin to be in that business. As a developer myself, I can kind of see where he's coming from. As he said, he's addicted to the rush of circumventing the rules, and since it's not really a crime, there are no real life consequences. I can understand him finding gratification in writing the hacks. I hardly agree with it, but he also didn't try to make excuses for it. That said, there is no justification for why people actually buy and use cheats. Total losers.

players running from enemy to enemy, with hyper awareness knowledge

So glad I got to play the older good BF games on the console knowing I wasn't getting cheated against.

You want to see how bad cheating is come to SEA servers. Asian servers every game has 1 or 2 cheaters. Battlefield 2042 I'm always in the report menu function. It's obvious cheating because you get no gun play at all. It's usually bad on weekends and in the evening. Thanks for this awesome insight 👍❤

I completely understand him, he is very smart and made a lot of good points. I think he puts more time into the games which he hacks than many other players. I don't want to defend him. He loves to push the boundaries of games in his own way and everyone else who doesn't hack is at a disadvantage.Thanks for the video and the look behind the hack producers. It probably makes a lot of people angry, but when you play online you'll always encounter hackers in every game.

Hacker: "cheating is bad" also hacker: "but im gonna continue to do it" Wtf

It makes me a little sad to hear him say that the companies spend so much money trying to stop them and they just continue. Think what could have been in the game if they didn’t have to spend all that money on anti cheats. Just makes me sad.

Appreciate your work pointing out some hackers. I don't know if it's possible, but...could you analyze a KZread channel under the name "SefouGaming". Started following them a couple of months ago, but just recently decided to take some time to see their BF2042 gameplay. I've been playing this game for years and I know for a fact no amount of skill will allow you to see players hiding in smoke and land headshots on them. Besides, it seems like almost every enemy they see is already spotted (you can see the little "tags" on them) and I know that's not how the game works. Last but not least, their most recent uploads seem to always be 60+ kills gameplay.

I would love to hear the full recording! Please upload! I can find it at least somewhat noble that this dev is at least not infecting his cheats with malware, ransomware or anything worse. To me, if I wanted to cheat, that would be a big deterrent for me because if someone is willing to cross that moral line to create a cheat engine, it doesn't seem much worse to include a little bit of malware that steals your data or worse. I too would prefer he doesn't make cheats lol, but as you said, he clearly is an intelligent guy and not a horrible person. I think at the end of the day something people would do good to remember is that it is JUST a video game, he isn't hurting anyone in a genuine way by what he is doing, scummy as it may be.

he is definitely hurting others, he ruin it for everybody who paid for the game

As long as the code are running on the client ram memory, they can always be manipulated with injection. The only solution against cheaters is cloud or streamgamming on the server side. However, this will still take a while to be realised. Depending on the network infrastructure, i.e. higher bandwidth and fast server processing (ping reaction).

Asia BF Cheaters: What is anticheat? 🤡

He was very straight forward and professional

Also full of shit haha (I mean the "hacker")

Based on his accent i would say he's french and i have a few hunches as to some older french players who i suspected for many bf titles that they cheat. Some also streamed.

2400 hours in battlefield here. I've noticed more cheaters after the transition to EA anti cheat from easy anti cheat. Personally I think the biggest issue as far cheating is concerned is the use of cronus zen, Especially from console players. EA recently updated TOS to ban ReWASD but failed to ban cronus smh

This legality issue has been a big problem for why Activision have struggled so much with cheating since MW19 onward. All of these companies are outside the jurisdiction of the US legal system that might be able to give more leverage to the developers. The most reliable way to combat these cheat developers thus far has been to just throw lawsuits and cease and desists at the cheat devs. The idea is not to win necessarily, but to bury these small time cheat developers in so many legal fees and burn so much of their time that they're forced to give up because they can't afford to defend themselves. Not sure if EA can or would be interested in doing the same thing, but like the guy said in the video, cheating is very rare in Battlefield. It's mostly teenagers that cheat and BF has a much older playerbase, so I imagine the amount of cheating isn't worth the cost of getting EA'a legal involved. Personally, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've run into an obvious cheater on 2042 (playing since beta) so I think 2042 doesn't really have a big problem with it.

Its also interesting that theres no law preventing cheating? I feel like if its something that depends on the countries just ban those countries from playing the game? forcing cheating to be illegal in those countries because people will be mad that they cant play games because they legalize cheating.

Every corporation on this planet would agree with this hacker. Full profit ... no moral, no honor...

EA should go after him personally or hire the guy to fix the broken ass anti cheat.

Very cool! Also, I'm just going to say I think this guy is Dutch or Flemish Belgian, judging from the accent.

Very insightful

I don't know that making hacks is technically illegal anywhere. It's a violation of the terms of service to use a hack, but that can only get your account banned, you can't get arrested for it. In some cases we've seen companies file suit against the cheat makers because you can make a case that they are stealing and modifying their content, but this is typically a civil court issue, not a criminal case. It may help if there was a law against making cheats, but it would be extremely hard to enforce because many are made abroad and laws in an individual country wouldn't apply to them. Maybe a legal expert can weigh in (as I am not).

should upload the entire thing

Please. Upload the uncut interview. Quite Interesting.

Sounds like a dealer hooked on his own drugs lol

Goddamnit 10 years! No one can do anything about cheats for about a decade more? Wow ... That's ... Fascinating. Sad we have to endure this pain almost forever

I legit believe EA/Dice and other game developers are running phantom/silent companies that are making and selling hacks. From a business standpoint (as long as it stays on the downlow) it makes a lot of sense. $100 for a game but if a player pays $10 a month for hacks, over 12 months that's a 120%+ mark-up on their profit/bottom line. It would also make sense why some players seem to go months/years without being banned. If they are buying the game developers hacks they could be falling through the ban net, so that the game devs keep getting their $10 a month. I do agree with the fella talking to Ghost though, I have played all the BF titles over the last 20 years and BF2042 is far cleaner than previous BF's. I still come across a legit cheater every month or so but apart from usual 50-1, 100-1 players that are on most servers at anytime, it is a much cleaner gaming experience. It is funny hearing him talk at the end and reiterates what I have thought from time to time, they are probably very nice people away from the game, but in the game I wish for very unpleasant thing upon them. It will never go away or be completely stamped out.

@6:38 no they are not just “good” they were cheating. 3 games back to back I encountered cheaters. The most frustrating thing is that if I turned cross play off, I will never find a lobby ( I play on PS5). And it has been happening more frequently these last 3 months.

I keep rewatching/listening one specific point. Like this whole video honestly is interesting. That rush feeling he gets for cheating and playing a second game where he's going against the anti-cheat, is the reason why I don't cheat. It's going to be that one time I get caught somewhere and my account gets banned. I don't want to pay for a new game or new hardware (if hardware ID ban happens) because I just wanted to cheat. I'm not the greatest by any means at 2042, level 409, almost 2k hours, but I wouldn't want that "thrill" of possibly losing this account. If it's an ID ban, well there goes my list of game on that platform. I have way too many games I've collected over the years on Steam, 37 y/o now, I wouldn't want to lose all that from other bans/vac ban/etc. My thrill is just playing the game as it is. I personally enjoy BF2042, but I don't play nearly as much as I did at the beginning of the game's life cycle for personal reasons and the toxicity I see in the game's chat, along with these cheats. I know I can turn chat off, but chat can also be useful with communicating locations to other squads. It's just discouraging, and the last month, I think I've played maybe 2 hours in actual multiplayer matches. I've been just creating my own portal modes with PVP bots and just playing with friends and family. The other big note being that him saying "it's legal" at the beginning for selling these cheats. I would've thought that selling a product that goes against a game's ToS would be considered illegal. I guess I still don't understand that portion because even if it's a product they're selling, he's also admitted now to using his product, which is still against the game's ToS. I just wish the people that put the time into finding these exploits and creating cheats for the game would instead maybe try to find jobs in the gaming industry and assist with creating new definition updates for these anti cheats. Like, I would be so proud of that and wouldn't need to hide all the time. That's the rush I wish I could feel. But again, just my opinion. Loving the videos Ghost, keep up the awesome work!

Advances is AI is all we can hope for. But that kinda of realtime AI to detect active cheaters uses alot of CPU, and CPU = $$$/hour

I mean, they guy is a bit insane, but he is right. There never was a consistent 100%-proof solution developed for dealing with cheats. All systems have weaknesses, cheat providers will find them eventually, which in term will create new systems with new vulnarabilities. And the cycle continues.

The sad reality we live in nowadays (I'm not talking about just gaming. It's a tragedy in almost every aspect of life.)

A cheater with a golden heart. How adorable.

what part was gold again?

I think on consoles is safer to play with crossplay off to avoid cheaters...thats why they must have an option only console crossplay..Ps5/ X box X/S ...like they had in the beta on 2042 ...but they removed it when it was launched...when next battlefield will release but remember not to pre order...

Selling cheats should absolutely be illegal, simple, it's an assault on a businesses product and clientele. These cheat devs are absolute scumbags.

18 years 💀

Man I wish GhostGaming had asked what the guy thinks of Riot Vanguard compared to other anti cheat systems

I am a software engineer. And I have also developed hacks for personal use. NEVER install vanguard. Even if it means abandoning LOL.

Just like drugs - if no buyers - then no one would produce it. Though drugs are illegal. So cheat code is not illegal. Strange thought that in the huge eula there was a section that you are not allowed to tamper with their code - but guess not. Cheat will never stop as long as penalty is weak. Ban account is weak - ban the hw id. But good video btw !
