    It's weird because virtually every game iv'e played on the PC has had competent Anti- cheat programmes installed that when said cheater/hacker/scriptr kiddy appears in the server they get auto kicked/banned right away (they might manage 30 seconds in the game before they're gone) plus it appears on screen, like player 123 has been kicked due to using script444 or weapon/game or file modifier etc etc etc.

    Punkbuster and Battleye (not sure why something like Punkbuster wasn't implemented into this game.)

    PS: my bet is the PC side of this game will collapse when Destiny 2 comes out (damn well sure they'll have a pretty good anti cheat system in their P v P section of the game)

    The answer is in the very post that you quoted

    "Video evidence is required as a part of a report for multiple reasons; including avoiding false reports, being able to process them in a timely manner and also to identify any potential new cheats that we haven't seen before."

    A video provides context to a report which can be very helpful to us for a multitude of reasons. It allows us to analyse the situation further and spot something that the player who filed the report perhaps overlooked. As an example, a player might report somebody that finished him off in PvP while the actual cheater was the guy who downed him prior to that.
