Battlefield 3 PC discussion thread MK II

Honestly, all I can say to that is lol ....
Admins account for catching Hackers, if anything has been proven over the majority of titles out today is that you cannot rely on an automated systems

Anyway, on to the discussion at hand, I read an article once about the psychology behind hacking and it made for a pretty awesome read, basically highlighting the type of personality disorders you need to suffer from to hack at gaming and comparing that to the reasoning behind printing your own Monopoly Money and then playing Cluedo against yourself

I'll see if I can find the link but it basically defines the players that hack as being the utterly pathetic bottom of the barrel pond scum they are

Even more on topic:
How are the tanks in relation to how they were at the very release, I know they were made of plastic back then, are they better?
I've been itching to get into a steel death trap again

Can you give some examples please?
 
Punkbuster? An automated anti cheat/ban system, that needs OTHER automated systems to actually make it effective. And even then it doesn't catch everything. Automated systems on automated systems and still hackers stay one step ahead. You cannot rely on ONLY these things. Automation is there to make things easier for us humans, not do the job for us.

Have a look at BattlEye as well, another automated anti cheat struggling a bit to keep up.

I thought this was over and done with Tanka? Talk about resuscitating an old dead horse. I suggest your next question/comment/query is sent via PM to either Me or Xero. Thanks. Anyhooo back on topic.

My replacement GFX is arriving within the next week and then I will be in BF3 again. Looking forward to the new guns and tweaked suppression system. I see people aren't playing CQ that much, bummer...was kinda looking forward to some close range shotgun blasting.

SPAS12 + Slugs = win! :D
 
Can't get a tank into a Skyscraper, going to have to make due with other types of cannons.
 
I dunno what servers you guys play on but it has been a long time i have seen obvious hackers.
In my 350odd hours i have seen very few of them in fact, maybe about 10-15 or so....very obvious ones, the kind that kills you with an ammo box.
If someone kills me and i dont understand how he did it my first thought is not that he is a hacker, some people are just faster, more accurate and play more cleverly than me. But if this happens consistently, like someone killing my long distance instantly(headshots) over and over or killing me without me even knowing where they are mostly then i might get suspicious. Close range it will be very hard to tell though and this is also where hacks will be less effective.
 
Dunno Heckers, no Idea who plays where
Anyway, as to getting a tank into a skyscraper, I think I could muscle it in there

lol stop taking everything so personally. This a public neutral forum no issues with debating here. :)
Basically all you said is although it catches some of the hackers but not all there is no point in using it. If the only flaw of third party anti-cheat sites is they don't ban all the hackers but ban some of them I don't see the issue?
 
Spartan, You still talking about this?
There are various ways of catching and banning hackers, some will disagree with the methods used, some won't
I don't see the point in debating, take it from me, the only thing to do in this situation is sit back and have a good long lol, I did and I feel much better

On topic, how big is the patches etc that I would need to download again ?
 
Note the absence of my reply after the last post. I have no want or need to debate anything.

Give me a few minutes, need to make my morning cup of LOL.

I think Sky and Buzz are still sleeping....together. :P . Might wanna wait until noon to get an answer Heckers.
Patches work out at around 6-8gb maybe. I dunno I have to update myself from retail version.
 
Catching hakcers is easy.. I as a player who has been admin for years in different titles nothing has changed.

If it rapes me or even remotely looks better than me.. It is hacking and needs a ban :D
 
I Heard from a reliable source that they subbed out Buzz and played man down which made all the difference in the world, it upped their game dramatically
Storm commented afterwards that it felt like playing with an extra guy on the field

I support Cranky's views on this, although in reverse
If it plays better than me, its legit, if it fails harder than I do, it has to be a passive aimbot set to intentionally miss

Well guess this is a monologue then but all I know is that non-streaming servers are allowing hackers that get kicked by punkbuster to get away with it. My opinion and don't take it personally again. Not like you are the only people in the world not to stream.
