I know what you are telling me. I'm just saying what I experienced. And I haven't seen the videos of BF3 console cheating. I tried to find some on youtube to no avail. Console's are inherently more balanced. I find it difficult to argue otherwise. But I appreciate your view, that it is not as unbalanced as I experienced the other night.

Edit: so I youtubed "BF3 Console Hack", "BF3 Console Glitch", "BF3 Console Cheat"... and all I got were PC cheats, glitches and hacks oh my. I'm told that you can do an aimbot on a console, but I haven't seen it done before. And I believe they are much easier to correct/monitor on a console than a PC.

From IGN

A new job listing on DICE's official hiring page indicates they're ramping up their efforts to fight the war on Battlefield cheaters. Seeking an "Anti-Cheat Administrator," the new recruit "will compose an absolutely vital function to secure the online experience our games represent by actively be a part of the community and keep up to date with the current cheat exposure."

That building is a cheater, the guy with the rocket launcher is the new hire.

Exploits and cheating have been a problem since the game launched, with tricks like the once-popular repair bot XP glitch getting folks banned along the way. Having a dedicated staff member looking for these situations will help end them in a more timely fashion.

This new hire to the team comes in addition to the recent faulty bans and Punkbuster issues plaguing PC players of Battlefield 3. DICE's latest update on the bans states that, "we have determined that the root cause resulting in the server bans is not directly related to Battlefield 3, but rather related to select 3rd party services which server owners can use in conjunction with PunkBuster to protect their servers."

How do you check if the ban is official? "If you are able to log in to Battlelog, your account has not been banned by EA or DICE." This means that bans are server-specific and not related to Battlelog, the actual developers, or actual cheating.

Additional conflicts arose from Punkbuster and Anti-Virus conflicts, but it appears the problem has been resolved. If you're still experiencing conflicts, an automatic update should update your software. None of these current issues should effect Xbox 360 or PS3 players.


I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.

Why you gotta be like that? It's one thing to claim its easy to cheat on the 360, but my experience is that it's not happening. Apparently, it is rampant enough that DICE believes its necessary to dedicate resources to it. Seems to me all the signs reinforce my opinion. No need to question my reading comprehension. Want to make fun of my kids next?
