Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

wah wah hackers wah wah.

There's not nearly enough hacking for the amount of whining going on. Plenty of people getting pwned fair and square and not wanting to admit it. And even if there is a hacker here and there, so ****ing what? If it bothers you that much, join a new server, or buy your own so you can ban them.

Grow up and get over it, children. Join a different server, shut up and stop whining.

Get a clue, BF3 is the most hacked/cheater infested battlefield yet, mainly thanks to the awful client side hit detection. 90% of the extreme game breaking cheats you see in BF3 are not possible in BC2 and BF2/2142 due to them having server side hit registration.

More like thanks to being the most popular BF title yet. Calm down. Turn down your latency slider, hitreg is fine.

This game needs some sort of match making system so you can load servers with other players of similar experience / skill. Otherwise Dice are missing out on a whole audience for who this game is not accessible or enjoyable.

Game has it. Quick match attempts to match you with others based on your skill level. Doesn't really work though as people can just join games through server list. Will never work unless they get rid of the browser or restrict people from entering certain servers which will never happen.

Probably also needs the sniper rifles nerfing a little so less people run around 1 shot killing from the hip. There's talk of hard core being more realistic ... since when do people run around with sniper rifles in close combat? Only in a game.

How many people actually go round 1 shot killing from the hip ?

None. Since none of the sniper rifles can actually one shot kill to anything but the head. And the chances of you hip firing a shot to the head with the sniper rifle are so remote, i can guarantee you've possibly only seen it once, and now use it as an example to demonstrate why snipers are wrong.

Have you actually played as a sniper before ?

If so you'd know that the unzoom and re-zoom required on bolt action snipers, and the bullet drop on all but the top sniper rifle, make for very realistic sniping. Aiming standing up without any kind of support is hampered, and only a headshot will 1 shot kill.

The game rewards sniping the way it was intended - prone, up on a hill with a bipod, holding your breath and whilst spotting your enemies for your team.

Granted you can slap on Holographic or red dot scope, and go sniping at close range with it, But you still have to aim for the head

EA/DICE are getting completely owned by hackers and cheats, PB is a waste of time!. Check out the top player!

I was on a server with the player at number 14 (IIIIIIIIIIII) he was definitely cheating, his gunwas snapping to each and every target and headshotting instantly, was something like 75 kills for 0 deaths in a team deathmatch game. everyone was annoyed with him and reported him but he still seems to be able to play...what is the point of reporting???

lewism · 6 Jan 2012 at 06:54

Can the AA on ships and bases not be destroyed anymore? Couldnt they in BF2?

obvious cheaters are obvious, the person locky is talking about doesnt even shoot you the kill feed just says he did and you die, 122-0 in 1 game

that my friend is a cheater

I think the people who stay in a server to allow him to get to 122-0 are as bad as the people cheating. You cant cheat in an empty server.

Yes they can be destroyed. I've been sat in both carrier and stat AA and had a drop in health from 100 to 56 and needed to get out and repair.

Not sure which weapons damage it though. I think it's some sort of lock-on missile.

This is when the game actually works

There were some good games and both teams were pretty evenly balanced. Seem to remmeber quite a few which came down to 7 tickets or so abd the games could have gone either way.

Much fun was had destroying PyromaticTabby's tank as often as I could

Deception · 6 Jan 2012 at 09:56

So.. What did I miss?

Hows the server Matt, still on software?

Some people don't want to join a new match or server, most servers I play on I know most players and play against the regulars on there, why should they move just because some hacker wants to ruin it. Most people can't afford to buy their own server and collective payments never work.

Remove yourself from that high horse.

not seen any cheats?

look at the top 10 in the world

k/d of 124.68!!!!!!!!!!

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...Mp_Main_KillsDeathsRatio/1/skill/soldier/1/0/

That's one of the things that gets me about this game. One look at that leaderboard and the banhammer should come down on practically all of them. As has been said they are blatant. I mean look at the number 1 slot's name "Punkbuster-SUXX" well obviously he's right in that.

Come to think of it. Have any bans actually been handed out at all? :eek:

No, another case of take your money and run. ok you can't stop all hackers/cheater, but the most blatant ones you can, just ban the CD key and delete the profile, just allocate a team of Admins for a few days will go along way into deleting these vermin.

Nobody has said anything

Which makes me think not.

COD were very vocal about how many cheaters and glitchers they were banning, to make a point to the community they were serious about the problem and doing something about it.

Davepen · 6 Jan 2012 at 10:31

Yeah I'm not understanding all this whining about hacking.

I've got to see I've seen a hacker in game maybe once?

Sure Battlelog leader boards are full of them, obviously, but as long as they aren't in my game I don't care.

Get the admin to remove them ffs. Unless you've decided to make an unadmined server your home, in which case good luck with that. Seriously if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem tbh.

How would you know?, A guy might have 32/8 and you'd think he was in the tank or helicopter but no he was hacking. That's the point not all hackers/cheaters make it so obvious, if you've ever seen an aimbot/cheat/hack they have options with some you can see anyone on the screen others can kill a target without you doing anything.
