Poll: ***The Official Battlefield 3 Thread***

It was suggested by EA support that these games were downloaded so that my xbox live gamertag could be linked with old EA accounts. Which should allow me to use battlelog.
I've got it working now by downloading origin and linking it through that.
Anyone fancy adding me to xbox live? I'm on most nights for BF3. Gamertag is KI2is
Silly how it can't be done through BF3.
in what way ?
There are some aimbot hacks around, wether or not they really work i dont know.
i decided to have a break from having a break lol, played a load of rush rounds whilst not doing to bad, and some teamDM, one guy was impossibly good, no matter where i was he killed me, even i he spawned an i was behind him, he would suddenly turn and one shot me.
I did manage a 775mtr headshot.

Didnt spot that, sounds like some serious glitching if it is, havent noticed any on the ps3 servers yet.
guess im just really unlucky with being put against idiots then, never seen the "fun" at cheating on online games.
got told that many people are spotting really ridiculous cheats etc and that on BF3's twitter they know about it all and are trying to sort it? (i dont know cos i dont use twitter)
but today while playing, some one from the enemy team was spawning on me and my team mates. was really annoying left after the 3rd time of it happening cant be asked with all that.
and it's not a glitch i know glitches when i see them
also saw a guy with 300 service stars for the knife... thats 300,000 kills with the knife - is that even possible? starting to hate BF3 not because its a crap game but just becasue its not fun with all this going on.

Most of the current aimbotting, wallhacking, cheating, server hacking etc.. is happening on the PC. I suspect thats what your hearing most people complain about.
They have hacked the client side hit detection, which enables them to send a packet to the server telling them that you've killed somebody, even when you are the other side of the map like so:
So the guy with 300 knife service stars, is sending the kill comand while he has the knife in his hand, thus counting as a knife kill. He's not of course knifing anybody, just standing around in his spawn racking up kills with the knife in his hand like the bloke above.
And that same hack that enables the insta kill enables you to do this as well :
Again hacking the client side hit registration to tell the server you have done 100 % damage with a single pistol bullet.
However, to install this kind of code on your Xbox you're going to need to have JTaged it or similar to enable you to get access to the OS. Most gamers wont have this kind of access to their xbox making them very rare. I've played over 110 hours and not seen one yet to put it into perspective.
Obviously the server code that they cracked is across all platforms, so it stands to reason that if they have hacked the code for the Dedicated servers on the PC, they have hacked it for Xbox as well.
DICE Know the hackers have hacked the server code which is why they just released R17 for the servers :

No idea if the Xbox servers have it yet, have we had any maintenance on the Console Servers yet ? i'm guessing because hacking on consoles is in such a minority compared to the PC, probably not.

it's more simple than that (at least on some other games that got there MP ruined by these idiots), it must be if there has been a surge of them (never noticed crap like this in the first month of it being out)
i guess this is what we can expect from now on with console kiddies, cant play = cheat.
every online game is now becoming a joke unless your fortunate enough to know enough people for said games to play fair and have a good old laugh - must be the new generation because the closest i remember to this as a kid was game genie lol

I don't think there's ever been an online FPS that people haven't attempted to cheat on, PC or console. Maybe it's just because I used to play CS, which was horrendous for it at its worst, but I've learnt to accept it for PC shooters. The game will live or die by how well Dice are able to target and nullify the cheats, really.
That said, as MrLOL said, you'd expect it to be more of a PC thing. I certainly haven't seen anything suspect on the 360 so far, though I guess the lack of first-person ghosting/replays does make the more subtle ones harder to spot.
On a lighter note, I finally got some jet kills the other day \o/. Shot three (count them, three!) whole enemy aircraft out of the sky on Caspian Sea. Haven't been back in a plane since (apart from a less-than-memorable crash soon after taking off in an AH-10), but I now have flares and am about 30 off heat seekers when I do. Happy days.

i've not seen any hacks on the 360 in 137hrs play, some people take a few more hits to kill, but i put that down to lag
if i come across people sniping from rooftops etc.. i use my mav and do the same.
will get a squad together at the weekend and try the mav vehicle lifts, i'd imagine you need at least 3 mavs to keep them stable, lol

yeah you would think that it would have been pc only, but if im honest its just as bad on consoles these days, grats on the plane kills
as far as i saw with this guy, he wasnt killing everyone at the same time but was leaving a gap in between and on the kill cam it was like he was under the map and was not visible at all - who knows, only thing that i know is that they are just sad.
i got just under 90 hours and i seen loads, not just on BF3 either, you dont need mav's to lift vehicles anymore just cycle through siene crossing enough times and youll see someone along the name of saltymike or somthing driving the IFV up and over the buildings.
personally i love the mav especially considering not may know how to use them properly. most the time they just think its a decapitator machine bless them, spending 20 minutes trying to mow down 1 person. confusion on there face as there mav gets taken out from about 500 yards away from nothing but another mav. snipers running like crazy trying to figure out why there spawn becon has vanished

The MAV is great when you're in a squad of 4 mates.
i've not seen that on siene crossing yet, i only normally play HC CQ, HC Rush or normal TDM
i think i destroyed an attack helicopter with my mav last night.
the gunner killed me, so i decided to stalk the chopper with the mav, the pilot landed and the gunner started repairing it. i roadkilled him with the mav
the chopper took off and i was above it hitting the blades, blew the mav up after a while and there were 2x *** is no more messages at the side, one was the gunner who may have re-spawned in the chopper and no chopper in the sky.
Will try it again tonight to see if it was possible.
