This game requires third-party system service installation and KERNEL level driver to play multiplayer. No one should have to trust the integrity of a random company's code running at system level to play a game. I am all for anti cheat software, but cheat software running with kernel permissions is just asking for all kinds of trouble.

EDIT:
To be clear there are TWO main issues here.

1) The privacy issue: I actually trust that Battleye does not care about personal data. I give them the benefit of the doubt here.

2) The SECURITY issue: Security is my domain and where I have the biggest problem. There is untrusted, unvetted code from a developer I've never heard of, running at the highest privilege possible. Other anti cheat solutions don't require this, as it's inherently insecure and unstable.

I almost GUARANTEE, that there are vulnerbilities in Battleye's kernel level code. How many engineers worked on this driver; what prior experience do those engineers have? If Symantec can not develop Kernel code without vulnerabilities, I sure as heck don't trust Battleye developers. The more popular Battleye becomes, the more incentive there is to find vulnerabilities for, and exploit this code.
