Give us your BattleLog ID. Then see what server we join and jump in if you want (click on server name that appears at side of login name).
If you like Hardcore, then Matts server is a good one to join:

screenshots dont work properly in pb and bf3
they fail so hard. they never did in bfbc2 either well in dx10 or 11also most hackers will have a screenshot blocker of some kind
to stream basically you just need to prove you are of a clan or group have vallied members and a website with active members roster.
so you could always set up a free site (plenty about ) justfor streaming
should take you about a hr or two to wack up a basic free site.at least then youll be able to check all players then for previous bans if you think there dodgy or if they have other linked bans and so on.

which game type do you prefer?Ok I'm actually starting to enjoy BF3 properly now
Had a few awesome matches today, not without the one or two crap ones though
I think it is almost equal between Conquest and Rush... I think conquest edges it though
Also spent a whole match today just figuring out a good mouse sensitivity for jets and helicopters, which ended up in me dying about 10 times

Anyone know if the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Joystick is compatible with BF3?

Gah, started 2012 not being able to aim
I got totally thrashed earlier, three or four shotting others before I died and they walked. Found when I reset the key preferences last night the network interpolation had jumped to max. Now back at approx 20% and 1:1 fire fights are now far more balanced.
Though finding a server where one side isn't totally dominating is tough. Just been on one where the air were all 20 or 30+ prestige so little had chance to live long enough to fight.

Punkbuster has always been crap
Back in the CS 1.0 days when OGC was the latest and greatest thing, server admins tore their hair out trying to stop it. Punkbuster was useless and couldn't detect it.
Luckily CS was based upon the half-life engine, which had an SDK for 3rd party developers to come up with their own mods and tools, and loads of server side mods came out which detected the cheats. The cheats were changing weekly to try and get round them, but any server admin was updating their anti cheats weekly as well, and it got to a point that the cheat developers eventually moved onto something else and the levels subsided.
BF3 has become as popular with the cheaters as CS was back in the day, again due to relying on PB which can't do ****. Except this time because BF3 doesn't even have a SDK server admins are powerless
So just because a bunch of crap randoms join the server, the servers themselves have automatically gone to **** ?? Bit unfair don't you think ? ever server is capable of having a bad crowd join every once in a while.
Aint ever going to happen.
You can tell by the changes they are having to make to keep the aggressive recon players happy they never envisaged the recon class as having that sort of a role in BF3. The class has done well to get the proposed changes it has to make aggressive recon easier. A wholesale swing of moving C4 to recon aint ever going to happen.

Yeah I do miss the Recon not having C4 tbh, Hopefully an update some time to fix this

So much crap spoken about (anti)cheats. You almost make is sound like you know what you are talking about. 
As is typical, that information is completely backwards. You post about PB like it is some "firewall" against cheats, and that it has been left weak/vulnerable to attack, and that all PB have to do is make it impervious like some kind of NAT gateway.
Punkbuster is not some kind of "firewall" against cheating. There is only so much *any* kind of anti-cheat (and anti-virus, as they are essentially the same thing) can do. They cannot, will not, and never have been able to just "block" hacks. You do not "block" hacks, because hacks, by their very nature, cannot be "blocked".
Multi-player game cheats work by manipulating memory in real time, and some by manipulating hardware drivers (mouse and video, for example). These changes to memory are usually undetectable to the game and/or any anti-cheat that is running. Nothing can prevent them without blocking everything, including the game itself. The only viable way for anti-cheats to work is the in-process CRC checks, and heuristic pattern checks, against a known list of patterns for cheats. No, these patters are not "can see through walls" they are patterns in binary code.
Anti-cheats are very, very difficult to operate. Forever be playing "catch up" with the ever expanding list of available cheats. With a game as popular as BF3/COD and as popular as CS Was in it's day, there will be 1000s of new cheats made every day, and then constant changes to these cheats to keep them undetectable.
If BF3 didn't have PB, you would really notice the difference. Probably more cheating than not, much like CS1.1 days. I'm grateful for the job they do at PB, and tbh you should be too. I am also of the opinion that a lot of these "hackers" are anything but, and are just being accused of cheating because someone cannot understand how they killed them, so they "must be cheating."
