People like this are ruining Battlefield 4

[@AKAARTOFFICIAL]

This video is my attempt at venting some frustration. Battlefield is a game I love but for many reasons, it can be difficult to play. Update: I should have been more clear in the section regarding BF4DB. They people over there have done some good work in banning cheaters and essentially improving the experience for all of us. Cuban was called out because of what he did and also, BigE is not the only person to reach out to me and complain about him specifically. I feel as if I've painted everyone at BF4DB with the same brush, something that wasn't intended but certainly shows through this video. BigE did have his ban lifted afterwards.

[@ST7GOLDTRIDENT]

About time. Abusive admins have ruined the game. There is no community anymore. Just random games with random squads. The moment you use strategy and teamwork, you are banned. If you push forward, you are banned. Sad ending for the community, I don't know what the solution is.

[@Omeih]

A lot of people absolutely understand. The list of terrible servers and admins grows bigger by the day and its fucking sad.

[@badgermcbadger1968]

@@ST7GOLDTRIDENT what? I dont play bf4 but why would you get banned for teamwork and strategy? Sounds awful.

[@tazionuvolari48]

I don’t disagree with your concern about how that bf4db ban and appeal was handled but I do feel that you didn’t fully represent how it resolved. bf4db.com/player/ban/913779995 the account was an alt account and Cuban was the admin who lifted the ban.

[@michaelallen5435]

I can deal with badmins.... It does make it a bit difficult to find servers at times. My major problem is with BF4DB and AngryCuban. They are really unfair and demand unrealistic expectations to "prove" that you are not a hacker. I had a couple great headshot games and it was demanded of me that I replicate those stats. I couldn't do it. It took 8 years and this was the first time I had like 75% headshots, I can't ever replicate that. That was just a damn lucky game. Ugh!

[@thisislulu3espana665]

You forgot the admin that puts "No lock ons" in the rules so he can just use air vehicles without any way to counter him.

[@dancingK9q-_-p]

YES MAN!!! (Siege of Shanghai) I know what server you're talking about. I always get pissed in that lobby. I even got kicked once for sniping 1 of the badmins from the tower. Before he could get off the floor with the chopper. Lol I don't care I got kicked I'm just glad I got the clip.

[@thisislulu3espana665]

Hands down Shanghai is the most toxic map

[@JLock_17]

I make sure to blacklist those servers. Fighting against vehicles is already hard enough, but when you remove all counters it's awful to see admins farm with orbital choppers. Overall K/D needs to be changed to a per weapon type ratio. A 17.3 ratio is way more impressive on a pistol than a tank. Fighting against vehicles can be fun but vehicle users need to realize, aircraft in particular, that they have a ton more in their favor than infantry and we need peel to make moves.

[@thisislulu3espana665]

I think bf1 nailed vehicle balance, things like getting your track disabled definitely made it more balanced, all they have to do now is import that into bf6 (whitch I hope is a modern setting like bf4)

@Alec nolastname I got banned on the 24/7 City Assault server cuz I called out BS from admin! They forbid Spawn rape and guess what? Enemy Attack Chopper was raping my team in spawn (siege of Shanghai). The next round I got directly to C to snipe the chopper down with my IGLA so they couldn't leave the spawn (just like the dude did with us before). I got killed for spawn raping and after calling BS I got perm banned. Those fuckers deserve to die from covid.

[@dillonc7955]

Some of my last matches in BF4 were cut short from salty admins. In my first match, I shot a very annoying heli pilot out of the sky with an RPG in a server that said "no lock ons" and still got banned. Second match, I played a normal match on Guilin Peaks and got banned out of nowhere for probably killing the admin or one of his squadmates. I was really bummed since it was my favorite DLC map. For the third, fourth, and fifth match, quickmatch kept putting me in empty servers, so I figured it was time for a break. I haven't logged into BF4 since.

[@carterhajek8208]

I remember me and my friends found a cheater on our team in bf1 and we kept letting the enemy know where he was and he ended up with one of the lowest k/d scores in the game and then left it was a pretty proud moment for all of us

[@carterhajek8208]

Also the cheats he was using was invisibility and I think wall hacks I just said look out for a floating Hellriegel on certain bases

[@boneknockgrit2695]

you are lucky mate. in my case, i ran into cheater but when my squad exposed him. my whole squad all get kicked off that server..........sad day ever.

[@AntiHamster500]

There's an old BFBC2 video I found of a cheater getting teamkilled and defibrillated by his own team to prevent him from cheating. The cheater recorded his side and tried to make it out like he was the victim of boosters. He then posted the video on the old BF forums (before battlelog) hoping to get the other players banned. Someone saw his post and replied with a video of him cheating before the other teammates started killing and reviving him. Most satisfying forum read ever. I vaguely remember the cheaters name, "pingulolol" or "pingululu" or something like that.

[@Omeih]

As someone who is a good player I'm literally running out of servers to play, mostly due to stupid admins who are terrible players who have no idea what is possible. Literally one of my most recent appeals I recorded the entire moment they thought I was cheating (its posted on my channel now) and its very clear I know what I'm doing, but it was denied because im a "cheater"

[@giveitarub7215]

Angry Cuban unbanned BigE1293 the same day he tried to appeal his ban. Art just cut out that part so it fits his message more. Cuban probably also knows more about the game than Art does. He's not a badmin you just don't know the perspective. Account with low hours and somewhat average stats (Since BigE stated that its his alt account for trying to learn reg guns) starts banging out 90%+ HSKR with snipers. At the time of the ban there was no link to BigE1293's main account which would have been more of a proper indication of no cheating. However since that link wasn't there at the time, all they saw was a fairly new account getting some eye-brow raising stats after getting pretty average stats prior to that.

[@scopie49]

Most people that are cheating are blatantly obvious. I've been told a dozen times I was going to be reported to BF4DB and never once have been. If you read through the BF4DB forums for denied appeals and look at the evidence from BF4CheatReport.. 95% or better of the people that get banned are obvious and the admins more or less are competent at what they do. If we tried innocent until proven guilty those cheaters would be running around for a full extra 1-3 days killing servers and ruining people's games. For NA servers, VQ37 is the only server I've actually found with admins who might legitimately have an IQ of 37.

[@CrizzyEyes]

Then a admin or badmin so to say stepped in and started switching maps and stuff. Which we begged him/her not to do, which this badmin started saying we don't have a say yada yada.. Then all of a sudden started banning all of us saying we hacked. Cuz we killed him/her. Their server got emptied, we had loads of friend requests and we actually started our own servers. This is a long time ago but still, I've seen things like that nowadays aswell.

let me throw my 2 pence here. You think BF4DB is bad you should check out Battlefield agency, they run scripts on servers that don't use the BA anticheat and you can get banned on near all servers for being "toxic" by BA, but what is the definition of being toxic from admin to admin, all of their bans are undisputable, majority of admins are corrupt and take a blind eye to their friends to be fair some of the anti cheat admins do actually care and they do do a good job of banning cheaters and RTB cheaters. Bad server admins... WHG banned me and 2 buddies for antistacking vs 4-5 WHG admins plus their friends in a full server... the admin is called Crazyeyedjack and he made a plugin to specifically auto switch us so we cant play on the same team, we played that night when the server was full so clearly you cannot autobalance 32v32 right? he then later accused us of making a script to stop his autobalancer from switching us which is the dumbest thing I have heard in a bf4. We got into their discord and he didnt want us to kill the server by stacking... even though we were antistacking.. when we disputed this we were told "My house my rules" and blocked and banned from their discord. VQ37 is another NA server that will ban you for having over a 3k/d and have 5kmp with ANY gun, so f.e a glock18 u dont run around with it all the time only when you need to pistol so inherently your KPM is ALWAYS going to be high regardless of being good or bad.

Had a game two days ago with a hacker and he kept getting kicked (the server I was on doesn't allow for spectate) and eventually permabanned. It was a hacker that linked two account to squash their ban which didn't work. About 2 minutes into metro rush he was 16-1 using ace23. Another game he got kicked 4 times but each time before being kicked he'd have the highest kills on the server, get kicked and start again before the circle continued.

[@jeremiahyoung8620]

You should see the PS4 servers, I find many modded controllers and keyboards and it really isnt worth going on many conquest servers I myself as a level 137 am banned on over 20 servers and I'm terrible compared to most hardcore players

[@NojsGraphics]

8:23 most kills with aek fits to these type of people lol

I remember getting banned from this one server for killing an admin with the M60. Messaged the admin to as why, "No dlc weapons"

[@SickkMyDuck]

my rock n roll ban Game disconnected: you were kicked by an admin. Stated reason: SickkMyDuck you are BANNED permanent FOR Too many complaints and reports ????? they really are badmins

[@ReshnRush]

You're better than them; that's why you got banned

[@TheFailureIsYours]

I didn't even get a reason to ban me. It was just a regular tank round for me. I had like 20 killstreak or something and then one of their stupid challenges pops up to kill mvp player and receive a vip slot and at that time it was me. So they tried to kill me for 10 minutes, the message popped out like 5 times again since then. And still they could not destroy my tank despite the fact i didn't even had a gunner/rep man and i was in the middle of the map almost all of the time (it was zavod btw). And then all of a sudden i'm disconnected and get "you are banned on this server" window. That's how they got rid of me. Extremely fair and not petty at all.

[@rbarnes4076]

I don't blame you one bit for feeling this way. I walked away from the franchise for exactly what you are describing. Dice doesn't care, and the cheaters have free reign. It is absurd.

[@goals747]

DDOS attack asian servers almost everyday. It really is ruining the game

[@edzo29]

The single greatest problem I've had with BF4 is the server number padding. It's hit or miss to find a server with accurate player numbers.

[@michaelallen5435]

If you use battlelog in Chrome, there are plugins that will show you accurate numbers.

[@richiekalel9876]

Banana republic admins are over the top, they think there the FBI with endless questions about your skill levels and were you've been and played lol. Sad police admin's are gonna kill this game and drive players away...

[@bushmonsterwilhelm6716]

This is old story but I won't forget it. In Battlefield 3 I encountered a Badmin Spawn campping with the Attack Helicopter. The damned thing single handedly pinned us down at our spawn. And for some reason any Anti Air Launchers are unable to target him. Our team have no chance.. (Edit : Recently I got kicked because apparently the server has to make a spot for Admin on Battlefield 1. I was in awe...)

[@HiddenMis7]

your comically huge crosshair really grinds my gears

[@zackofalltrades22]

This video reminds of a time when I got banned from a Call of Duty Black Ops server by a salty admin because I blew up his killstreak helicopter as soon as it came in. I wasn't even aware of admin abuse on BF4 PC servers, but now I know to watch my back. Some people are just pathetic, so they abuse their power to get a temporary feeling of control.

[@supervillain3213]

This video is the most biased thing i have seen in a while. All of this because a friend of your was banned for less than 48 hours. The guy was banned for having 90-95% head shot kills on an account with 65 hours played. Very few people can get that kind of accuracy, usually people with that kind of accuracy are cheating.. Certainly it was suspicious, and when he appealed and showed that he could actually play that well, he was unbanned. He was banned and unbanned by the same admin you are complaining about. From the time he was banned until he was unbanned was under 48 hours. But you didn't bother to mention any of that did you? You didn't even mention that he got unbanned at all. The guy cheating in the beginning of the video was banned by BF4DB 6 months ago, also didn't fit your narrative I guess. I've only seen a few people who appealed with crazy head shot accuracy like that and then actually prove they could do it, you could probably count the number on one hand. Most people will have nothing but head shots for weeks and then get 0 in their appeal, or just straight up aimbot in their appeal video. It sucks if people get wrongly banned, but it doesn't happen nearly as often as you try to make it seem in this video. Punkbuster, the official anti-cheat of BF4, was proven to have false positives. The evidence was sent directly to Evenbalance, the people who make Punkbuster, and they laughed all the way to the bank saying there was no way there was a false positive. I can assure you Punkbuster falsely banned more people than BF4DB has, probably thousands more. The anti-cheat for BF4 hasn't been updated since 2015. DICE and EA don't care about this game at all. The only reason the PC version of this game is playable without cheaters is because BF4DB took over where DICE and EA completely failed. BF1 does not allow people to be kicked from private servers, and BF5 doesn't have private servers, and both of those games are full of cheaters. You should be complaining about EA and DICE failing at anti-cheat while removing these private server options, not at the people who used the server options to make the game playable without cheaters. If you don't like BF4DB, then fine, play on servers that don't run it.

[@NovaMcKay]

Something happened a few weeks ago where me and a buddy were in a lav doing really well and I was at around 39-0 before I got banned. The thing is, i tried to join again and i got through. They literally just wanted to give me a clean slate on the scoreboard. Wtf?

[@nathangregory_]

Rock and Roll servers are notorious for their actions. I just chose not to play on their server any longer.

[@staleeh]

Yeah same. I prefere the russian serveres.

[@nathangregory_]

@@staleeh I always get kicked because my ping is too high.

[@ErikAdalbertvanNagel]

What about those cheaters who only use wallhack obviously and his team defending him. Sometimes server admins cheat on their own server and if you dare to talk about it you'll get kicked.

[@llJeezusll]

Should have had some Americans send in clips of their experiences in vQ37 aka iQ37 servers 😂

[@scopie49]

VQ37 is the only server I've ever been banned on. Twice. First one for starting a round of Locker with a 4KPM on a quick 12 killstreak. No one could possibly be that GoDlY at the game. And unlike the other servers it's a permanent never-lifted ban. IQ37 might be giving them too much credit.

[@Fatal_Error_Gaming]

@@scopie49 Yea VQ37 is a trash community. If you kill an admin you are gone or go on any kind of kill streak. Basically they want no skill players in their servers because it is easier for them to admin when there is no one in there good pissing low level players off.

[@SSGSteelTigers]

Just got banned by AluminumPint, their head founder on the discord and forums for asking how to get unbanned. iQ37

[@Khalsa-bt7jx]

Thank you so much for making this video. Naming these toxic players/admins is necessary.

[@libraembers7263]

"are DICE capable of creating a working anticheat." Wrong question. Are they capable of creating ANYTHING working is the real question, and the answer is no.

[@KillerOrca]

(Glances at BFV) yeah...

[@SSGSteelTigers]

I was just banned on a VQ37 server by AluminumPints for cheating. I offered to send him a 5 minute clip of ge-force experience of the moments captured before I got banned and he said "so" and proceeded to ban me from the VQ37 discord and forums. Im still banned from the servers. At first after watching your video maybe I thought "Nah, it couldnt be too bad" I shit you not, the next day I play battlefield 4 and experience this issue myself..

The badmins are such a nuisance. My favorite was a guy on a PS3 Golmund only server who wouldn't let jets kill helis, but would let the helis kill the jets, and was overall acting like a soggy, overcooked mushroom ravoili

[@LeoHernandez.117]

[@ImBulletm9]

Yeah, my buddy and i were flying around in a LB on that flooded map, he got banned from a server because the admin playing on the opposite team didn't like how insanely stupid good he was at flying those things. He ended up getting in contact with the SO and he unbanned him but it was still sour since it ruined an extremely good and fun game we were having

[@g3rmanfuze590]

On consoles no hackers or tools but Badmins, MnK and Laggers are still there. DDossing too.

Im still pretty active on bf4 today and this video is still very relevant.

[@danboom101]

Having known Angry_Cuban for awhile, your comment about him is pretty ridiculous. First of all, that guy that you are whining about getting banned did in fact get unbanned. And second, asking a person to replicate suspicious stats is incredibly reasonable. MOST Admins across MOST servers and moderation sites do the same. Cuban was even nice enough to average out 3-5 games so the guy didn't even have to replicate the most ridiculous stat game. Your complaint calling him a badmin is pretty pathetic. My experience with him is that he is significantly more fair than most admins I have ever come in contact with from specific servers.

[@danboom101]

@@Josh_728 upon further consideration, I don't think I want to have a long debate with you, so I'll end with : "cool story bro. Keep up the tantrums that will do nothing".

I havent been able to play BF4 for about 5 years now, the only popular server in Australia banned me for asking why ping was hidden.

Sometimes it’s good to vent. Here’s hoping BF6 will heed some of your advice... 😂 JK

[@ballisticthreat]

Just played 2 rounds on a server where I believe it was an admin (he had the name of the server tag on his nickname) and a lot of people were complaining about a hacker in game and he did nothing about it, and even worse, he would teabag all players who were complaining about the hacker. It's really annoying, and makes online gaming a pain instead of having enjoyable time.

[@michaelallen5435]

BF4DB is trash! I'd like someone to change my mind.... caustic!

[@Battlefield.Agency]

PB bans are ignored by us since PB has been falsely banning people for a while now - and there is no way for someone to appeal a ban at Evenbalance. We do not want to be an enforcement tool for a bad anticheat, we have our own methods and bans. Also, we are in no way related to BF4DB so mentioning both without even a comma in between is kinda inappropriate.

[@giveitarub7215]

Michael Allen i'd love to see what your account name is. Apparently you're top boat player but banned for a "lucky game" with 75% hskr. I'm suuuuuuuuuuuuure buddy.

[@joao.0207]

I'm Brazilian and I stopped playing BF4 for a while, but I follow some players, and I saw in a community of players here, that they developed a mod (paid) and you install it in the game. And you can only enter the server if you have this mod installed, just to prevent cheaters from entering the servers. sorry if my english is bad.

[@malcolmholmes2596]

Lel imagine being a janitor for a 7 year old game

[@scopie49]

The game would be completely dead without the admins at BF4DB since DICE hasn't fixed anything themselves.

[@Deus4Atheist_Official]

Sad but true. BF community so toxic now :( And cheaters. That's why i play on consoles.

[@bob1268205]

The whole BF series is depressing, me and my friends stopped playing BF after BF 5 as there was no Anti-Cheats, and the servers were dreaded by either cheaters who kill others for stats, and then just rebuild the structures / bases to calm down the score to not get kicked out. The other hackers are the worst as they are they are clearly hacking, and just wiping servers after servers as people leave. I have experienced that you wait 5 or more minutes in a queue to an ongoing match only to be left out with 4 or 6 players in it. So BF is dead as long as Dice is not doing anything with it. It is a shame

[@miliciaganado5219]

But good thing that Battlefield 2 is still alive. :)

[@quinnpriv7393]

Got BF4 a little while ago because it seems like a fun game, and it is. I really enjoy the Infantry-Only servers because I feel the vehicles make it unfair to ground troops most of the time. However I kept getting kicked by an admin from the Misfits of Mayhem server for some unknown reason and it did make me feel a bit down because that's merely the only server I'm able to connect to where I can have double-digit ping numbers.

[@rage8842]

I've seen so many server owners and admins get killed and ban my friends. that's worse than cheaters tbh

[@thorns1015]

You should talk about the corruption of the vQ37 servers. Some of the worst admins in the game run those servers. You can get banned for having a slightly above average KD and can also get banned for saying anything slightly unorthodox in chat. Admins are also super unprofessional and rude.

[@michaelallen5435]

Completely agree!

[@danielsides6426]

Got banned there for killing one of there admins to many times. They banned my kids as well. Complete garbage.

[@tannerrobinson5110]

BF4DBs issue is finding admins that have the time to do it. It's completely volunteer based which makes it hard for them manage admins.

[@Corrupt_be]

I hate the insane plugin abuse and admins limiting KD's, etc. Basically removes a whole portion of servers I can play on.

[@collinbabcock2514]

I've been banned from a few servers and most of them involved me smoking the server admins, some people just can't take virtual death.

[@fogfullofsilhouettes5842]

Was on a server about a week ago, noticed someone knowing where I was before I even appeared. I was not spotted at that point as the map had only been going for like a minute, person used an M416 and shot me at the distance only a sniper or DMR can accurately shoot at, so I knew I saw a cheater from that point onward as this happened more than once over the course of 4 matches on Golmud Railway. Each time said individual looked at me my game froze and I died almost instantly. I checked my connection seeing as I had a new router at the time, but it came back with what I usually see most days even when on other games, so Its definitely not me or my Internet, so I tested ping... came back with normal results. This was on Xbox One and there is a possibility of outdated servers, but in all seriousness, the player was cheating and had some kind of wall hack-lag switch combo, as everyother server I played In there were absolutely no issues to speak of.

[@MrSolidsnake293]

It's still happening but worse now

[@Cilghal001]

I will take a look at the RnR server video in just a minute. I myself have some troublesome experience with those server admins as well. Basically me and my buddy were trying to get some kills with the attack heli (we' re just average joes, nothing special) when the big boys saw that our team was losing and me and my buddy in the heli were not dominating they just kept wiping us (admin killed). Even though we got to the heli first. They simply made their minds that the heli is theirs. Even when one of their buddies team killed us they would kick us out of the server instead. Yea, I mean there are some great players on those servers and are usually full but since those incidents I haven´t really logged back on them.

[@dudejo]

I stopped playing the Star Wars Dark Forces series on multiplayer for pretty much the same reasons. Admins were using third party tools to abuse the players and most servers devolved into Jedi duel circle-jerks instead of actually playing the game. Modded servers were okay but there were simply too few players on those.

[@raccoonravioli9829]

I play on pc but my brother plays on ps4 and their is an admin on his favorite server that kicked him for getting the chopper before him so he kicked him to get the chopper. Idk why brother still plays on that server because the admin constantly does that crap to other players but he is related to the server owner so he isnt going away.

[@PharaoahMonk]

I remember when i use to play bf3 and got some amazing high streaks, i would be called a cheater a lot and then votekicked easily but pathetic frustrated players who really had nothing better to do or they just wouldnt care so they pressed "yes" everytime a votekick would turn out on the screen. Thank god in BfV i cant be votekicked because i have a good tanking streaks that sometimes appear as cheating. They dont take into consideration that you have 1500+ hours spent into a game and that high k/d may come from tank using. Votekick is like a democracy and admins are like dictators. So sometimes even democracy fails because people are too angry with one good player topping their game and ruining their fun.

[@rod99ttett90]

Once i join a knife only server for fun and i was very good so the admin and his friends started unsing guns. I continued using my knife on others random players and ended using guns to properly defend myself against the admin. Then i got banned. This similar situation happen in 3 different servers. I was in ps3 at that time. :)

[@daftlypunk531]

Ive lost count of the number of servers I've been banned on, it's not just battlefield, several other shooters I've been banned on too because I'm either too good or some kid gets salty because I sniped him out of a helo, my other gripe and I think you might agree is being kicked mid game because they want to make room for some priority member
