Starting today, we will further intensify our efforts to hunt down and rid Battlefield 3 of cheaters. Stats wiping and banning this disruptive minority is the only way they will understand that they are ruining the game for others. We do this for the millions of dedicated players out there who deserve a fair game, every game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also suggests using Battlelog&#8217;s built-in player reporting system to alert DICE to possible ne&#8217;er-do-wells, promising that &#8220;our analysts here at DICE who will do a deeper analysis of the situation and take appropriate action, including stats wiping and\/or banning players who are confirmed as cheating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So there.
