Despite an initial positive reception forBattlefield 2042, post-launch has led to heavy criticism and frustration among theBattlefieldcommunity. Players cite technical issues, progression problems, and the lack of features and design elements from previousBattlefieldgames as its main concerns. There’s only so much DICE can do to fix such a big game, however, and it’s leading to a dwindling player base. Emblematic of the problem, a cheat-maker has even decided to no longer supportBattlefield 2042.The cheat maker’s decision was brought to attention by leaker Tom Henderson, who shared a message the cheater posted on its Discord channel. According to a post from Panfyero, a member of the cheat group AIMEXCHEATS, the team will no longer besupportingBattlefield 2042. The reason whyBattlefield 2042will no longer be supported is due to the game’s “ongoing performance issues” impacting the cheat, as well as a shrinking number of users wanting cheats for the game “since the game is dying.“RELATED:Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Reportedly Launching in MarchTechnically, the cheats that AIMEXCHEATS has created forBattlefield 2042will continue to work for the interim.Battlefield 2042players won’t see a change quickly. However, these cheats are offered via a subscription, so as soon as the subscription runs out buyers will no longer have access to them. Of course, it is possibleDICE will updateBattlefield 2042before that, too, which could also break the unsupported cheats.
Of course, there’s no reason to believe that the cheat-maker is being entirely honest with its description of the situation. Its sole intention is to retain customers and ethics have nothing to do with its behavior. It may very well be thatBattlefield 2042’s anti-cheathas stumped the cheat maker, making it an unprofitable endeavor to continue compared toCall of Duty.
Regardless of the truth of theBattlefield 2042cheat maker’s claims, fewBattlefield 2042playerswould argue that the game could use some technical upgrades and a healthier playerbase. The message just goes to show how widespread this attitude is, and also how much work DICE has left to do.
Battlefield 2042is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
