> like EA's Battlefield series, that utilize a degree of statistical modeling to detect cheaters

Battlefield started out using PunkBuster, one of the earliest kernel-level anti-cheats. With Battlefield 4, they used FairFight, a statistical server-side solution, alongside PB.

With Battlefield 1, they dropped PB, and operated with just FairFight.

And now, EA have decided to create their own kernel-level AC, called EA AntiCheat, and are implementing it on BF5 and BF1, largely because FairFight was not enough.

Was FairFight not enough because statistical methods are insufficient, or because their specific approach was flawed?
