Cheaters on console

Do something about these players. So many people using the devices which cannot be named. Make it so people cannot plug these devices in and play your game! You got anti cheat for pc hackers and people talked about it all day. Now do something about console cheaters.

    This post is worthless if misinformation is spread and we don't come up with a solution to cheaters on console. I'm going to take some time and explain some things I often see misrepresented or misunderstood by players. Definition: A Controller emulator is a device that interfaces between your controller and your console. It is programmable and will run simple scripts. Common uses include: removing recoil from weapons, adding a rapid-fire mod to weapons, artificially adding reticle stickiness by modifying reticle movement, and programming complicated movements like bow/handcannon hotswap. Here are the facts that people usually get wrong: (1) A controller emulator can only do what your controller can do. Infinite ammo, wall hacks, invincibility, and other things that are usually impossible are also impossible to accomplish with a controller emulator. A controller emulator will not give you "aim-bot", but it will make it easier to reliably land shots (reduced recoil, increased reticle stickiness). (2) Lots of people think that controller emulators are commonplace on console. The fact is that no one knows how common they are, because the data doesn't exist. (3) Lots of players have claimed that they themselves or top players can identify cheaters by the way they move, aim or behave in the game. I'm sorry to tell you, but I haven't heard a single reliable method of identifying a person using this, and I've been looking. This whole post is pointless unless someone can tell me what the heck we are supposed to do about controller emulators on console. I think we should petition Microsoft and Sony, but I'm open to other suggestions. Also, it would be helpful if someone provided a better means of identifying cheaters on console (other than: "He botwalked and sniped me")
