Almost every time you hear about someones account being hacked, it always seems to be russians doing the hacking. Same with cheats in game, must be ingrained into their psyche to cheat and hack.:D

How are they getting hacked though?

no idea. what happened was they must have got my email and password. Then logged in and changed the soldier name to something else. then they changed the email associated with the account to another...so i couldnt log in. But when you do this...origin automatically sends an email to the original adress telling of the details change...so I knew when I checked my emails in the morning something was wrong. ****ers!
 
This part seems daft...

There is an undocumented maximum length for passwords.
I changed my password after seeing a message in Origin that my account was logged in on another computer. I used a password generator/storage app to make a new password and got into a nasty cycle of resetting my password and then my password being rejected by the Origin login, as well as their support site when I tried to log in with it. I tried a shorter password and the problem went away.
Afterward I found a post on EA’s forums from another user that indicates the max length is 16. This isn’t documented anywhere when you change the password, nor are you notified when changing your password that it is too long.
I guess this is insult added to injury.

I agree, owning up to a problem yields much more good will from the customer base than standing mute, or worse, denying/spinning it.

For anyone thats interested in Level Battlefield heres Kharg Island match against Blue team (top US and EU Players) last night!

also got a Sharqi video to upload too but my 1mb upload sucks and takes to long so will do it when i go bed!

so intense! one mistake in this and ur dead :(

 
Wow, that was something. If you are on a server with people this good, it can be a bummer if your team isn't working together. You stand no chance against this lot.

I don't usually view outside of a tank that much. Maybe that is one of my short comings. I get a narrower view that way.
 
yep both teams are being commanded by team leader and squad leaders all via TS.. its the best gaming experience ive played online!

tis how battlefield should be played!
 
Nice video Westie, surprised that they allow 3P vehicle cam and show enemy name tags. Why isn't it set to HC?

Joe missed this one didn't he, problems with Origin. He wasn't a happy bunny.

I thought this when he mentioned top EU and US players, i automatically assumed it was hardcore, once i saw what you stated, i closed the video.
 
we played battle 2 and 3 with 3d spotting off and tbh people didnt enjoy it we had a vote on the forums and every wanted 3d spotting on!
 
hardcore is easier then softcore.. it really is punch has already proved that on 24/7 server dont think hes not been on there and got over 100 kills a map even as inf on grand bazaar!

I think you will find it was 90 kills as infantry...Penquin just beat him to the top with 97 in LAV.. If you hadn't bugged out that round, you too woulda enjoyed the mass raping. Prob one of my best rounds ever that one, kept punch alive as much as shooting fools.

I have to agree that HC is easier to kill, but much easier to die as well. I really do not like 3D spotting but hey, for Level it is all good. Would you agree that SC mode is easier for vehicles tho? I mean external camera makes things much easier to spot etc. Not to mention in SC you never shoot at people (when in vehicles), you just shoot at Doritos's.

How long will it take playing online to get a fully upgraded tank? I've been playing for quite a while but never see anyone with the extra armour on the tank...

Also best map for tanks as atm I play rush or Conquest on firestorm or whatever it's called, the one in the desert with all the oil pump smoke..

Depends upon how good you are in the tanks and how much you play them.

I'm on my 6th tank service star and have about 40 hours in the tank. So that works out about 8 hours per service star. How quickly you rack up those 8 hours depends upon you. Equally you could be a lot better in the tank and get your service star quicker. How many hours have you got so far ?

As for best tank load out. Best secondary has to be the HMG since they nerfed the canister shell. Or guided shell if playing a map with lots of armour like firestorm. Combine that with reactive armour and the IR smoke to deal with those pesky javelins and soflams. On infantry maps like seine you can swap that for proximity sensor or a gunner who has it.

vehicle kills on softcore are cheap, thats probably the main reason i avoid softcore. the thought that someone is shooting my dorito from a mile away in a jet makes me sad

For me it's more the fact that I can bombard a tank with RPG after RPG but it is repaired faster than I can damage it.

and the tank has unlimited ammo, you will run out of RPGs

i think for inf only it's hard to say one is easier than the other, but for vehicles, softcore is easier
