i've never used cheater on BF4.
Damage Cheater? 100% ban here why? ..
Everything I've done so far on BF4 has been things the game itself provides.
There are servers from germany, china and france that start with one person.
It's not cheater, it's just server configs.
I don't deserve to have a reputation for cheating without using anything at all.
I have friends and formerly I had a configured server in which we unlocked weapons, equipment for vehicles etc;
among friends, it was not free kill and yes help to unlock game items!
