BF3 Cheaters Enjoy A Bantastic Time!
Just like any good design implementing security by obscurity, hackers and cheaters will find a way to exploit the system in no time flat. In this instance, DICE said via Twitter that cheaters have "found a glitch that allows them to use the Engineer repair tool or the EOD Bot to garner tens of thousands of points in a match." A beautiful and satisfying cheat if ever there was one, really letting you get on the wrong side of your fellow player! However, there's this small problem, since developer DICE has now cottoned on to underhand tactics and is banning these sporting gamers en-masse. Isn't retribution wonderful?
Via Twitter, DICE reported, "This week we've banned hundreds of offending accounts and have stats-wiped accounts for exploiting (such as boosting)..." and they also ask for honest gamer's help in nailing the culprits, "To report players cheating or boosting send us a direct message to this Twitter with a screen shot of the Battle Log Report." There is also a problem with the Sony PS3 version of the game, which will be addressed with a patch, soon. This suggests that the bug is in the core program code, rather than a platform-specific implementation. Finally, one should always strive to behave honestly and ethically in life and it looks like in this instance it really pays off. Here's wishing all honest players an enjoyable time playing BF3, free from cheaters.

I'll be gaming till the day I die :D
But I don't even see the point. I mean how much fun is it to run around and do absolutely nothing? They come on a server and it clears out pretty quickly. Lame asses.:laugh: Aint that the truth. You must have kids. :pYet another reason I'm waiting to buy it. I've heard/read that there's nothing but problems with it.
So it will stop the initial stat boosting by getting sweet numbers per kill. It won't stop them from boosting stats by getting a ton of kills. I mean shoot for that purpose all they have to do is load a bunch of bots on dummy accounts and kill them all day long.
tbh I don't care at all about stat rankings so I don't care about people cheating to get a better ranking. I get on a game to have a bit of fun and unwind. I don't get on to try and be the best damned player there ever was. Because at the end of the day if I'm going to try and be the best at something, I'll do it with something that's real and actually matters. Say my job, or fatherhood, and etc.
I game to have fun and relax. I don't game to build my virtual identity/ranking.
hi all my mate and i were playing yesterday and there were 2 guys who had prestiged already. after my mate and i stopped peppering them with about 20 bullets they ran off.
should i report these guys as im sure there isnt a perk in the game for invincibilaty.
took a screen pic of scores seems they took a few kills just to be on the safe side.
BAN THE MOFO's 4 EVER!
reported them via battlelog. I hate cheaters and would hate to say i would never play bf3 again and go back to cod after wasting so much money on cod before.
You should try it for yourself. It is not as bad as they make it out to be.
Hearsay is just that hearsay.
I play almost every night. There might be a game crash, but it doesn't detract from the awesome experience that is BF3:nutkick: :D
The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to play.
Everyone else will have their IRNVs and motion detectors, and you will be lvl0 QQing about getting killed soo quickly and not getting any kills.
LOL :laugh:
