Getting Instant head shotted and shot through smoke

[JackE94]

I have recently moved up from Easy Dam to Normal and my gameplay has changed night and day. My most recent game, one single guy with a SCAR triple head shotted my entire team despite us not making any noise and very slowly sneaking up on them.

I have then had other games where I have been beamed through smoke despite there being no active scan.

I don't want to automatically assume cheater but I am finding people's gameplay extremely sus at this point.

What is everyone's overall experience?

It's called skilled based matchmaking. The game has that even if you play unranked.

In operations if you want casual runs stay on the lower difficulties.

Normal/hard is where the Sweats are.

Even operations have skilled based matchmaking. Imagine a extraction mode, with sbmm. A mode that should ALWAYS be random matchmaking. It's bad enough that warfare is destroyed by it

It's called this game is full of cheaters....people getting shot across the map with smg's , getting killed through terrain that you shouldn't be ....snipers having laser aim never missing a shot on moving targets and reloads ...and that was just my first two games today.
Haven't played a game yet where someone isn't cheating. On the other hand it's a free to play game that will have almost no players in six months , so who cares.

just got 400 hours since launch, didn't play beta. can say without a doubt there's genuinely no sbmm at all. my first space city game was against a streamer squad with Amphe and some other tourny players. mind you i had a 3kd in easy and a 0.8 in norms at the time. each individual player on that team had a 10+kd in norms and 20+ in easy, there's no real world where i get into a game with those players within my first 50 hours of the game. Can say for certain if there was sbmm this game would not be fun to any capacity. If you have a background in other shooters you'd simply own the 1-2 kd players and make it into a skill bracket that would force you to sweat 24/7

Don't listen to this guy, guy is farming clown points, 100% no SBMM, the game is in desparate need of SBMM to keep majority of players out of the lobbies of cheaters.

So explain why I never meet a bad player? Why do I need to search 5-6 minutes to find a game in warfare? I made a new account, 10 second I needed to wait then. Explain

I find it very sus too.
In operations AND warfare, i've been experiencing a lot of smoke shots too, specially from snipers.
We have to wait to see if they are actual cheaters or not. There has been a ton of bans recently and they are very good at finding them.
Players being cheaters or not, i report any suspicious activity.
IF they are not cheaters. Well, nothing happens. IF they ARE, you did it well by reporting and helping the devs.
So in all. Reporting is not only about you, its all the whole game. It doesn't hurt anyone but the cheaters.

It's quite clearly EOMM, the worst kind of matchmaking. Have a good match? You're in for 5+ terrible matches in a row, then you'll get a pity server.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Yeah I report everyone sus, so far 3 players were cleared of not cheating, I have about 30 more under "monitoring"
