ahahah epic failure don't you find too ?

"The author of this Reddit post got in touch yesterday with links to hacker forum discussions revealing exploits that would trick Punkbuster into ejecting honest players." Punkbuster has been kicking people from servers for no reason for years: I know that firsthand from my experience with BF 2142. The temporary solution DICE offers is a good one: don't play on servers with Punkbuster. If the article mentions that patience with BF3 is wearing thin, it fails to mention that people are losing patience with MW3 far more rapidly. From what I understand, at least DICE listens to feedback from the BF3 community.

Probably more a problem with "Punkbuster".

BF3 itself is ridiculously fun if you ask me.
-
I blame Punkbuster. It banned me from BF:Heroes even though I hadn't played in like a year or two. I don't mind though because in the closed beta it was actually pretty fun, but near the end of the beta of course EA had to go and make it pay to win, so I bailed out right there. :-\ It's still pay to win.

Oh and speaking of battlefield, here's the top 10 submissions for the "Only In BF3" contest.

I really should try out disabling my HUD next time I get back to my desktop. :P 8)

First: the hackers can ban anyone, not only who plays in pb servers, first.
Second: dice doesn't listen to the community. During beta they said it was already better, but no, it's worse. No more terrain deformation ? That was a big fail, and instead of fixing it they bring it out.
Then about mp: I have to say the truth, it's a joke. Still full of hackers (not only aimbots, there are also hackers with radar, no recoil hacks etc. which you can't notice and then what ?
ALSO WORST PART. Weapons are too unbalanced, SERIOUSLY ? They can track your jet, helicopter from ru to us base and you can't FLY.

The sources linked to on this page beg to differ.

Hardly a big fail, more like a temporary removal of a feature. Destructible environment still looks awesome.
Then about mp: I have to say the truth, it's a fuc@@ng joke. Still full of hackers (not only aimbots, there are also hackers with radar, no recoil hacks etc. which you can't notice and then what ? Then much rage.
ALSO WORST PART. Weapons are too fu@@ing unbalanced, SERIOUSLY ? They can track your jet, helicopter from ru to us base and you can't FU@@ING FLY.
I think ******* joke describes MW3 MP at present. There are plenty of YouTube videos with people complaining about the Type 95 and FMG9 akimbo. Then of course, there's Robert Bowling and his claims of no Last Stand. It's there, it's just called Final Stand now. Worse, if you check LeftyOX's latest videos, it appears the multi-proficiency glitch may be back. To my knowledge, the only unbalanced weapons in BF3 are the AA vehicles and the Javelin-SOFLAM combo: the Javelin should be getting fixed soon.

And the FAMAS. That thing is stupidly OP and broken. It's funny because Demize99, "Core Gameplay Designer on Battlefield 3," said that himself in a tweet and I definitely agree... but he's not doing BF3 anymore apparently for whatever reason. :-\
The USAS w/ frag rounds seems pretty OP as well and generally can be annoying as hell. It's by far got the most complaints on the forums right now.
Also, lol...

USAS-12 with frag rounds... forgot about that, thanks. As for the FAMAS, it struck me as having a lot of recoil without suppressor and grip, limiting its range. Alan Kurtz (is that how his name is spelled?) only said it was a bit overpowered. Also, from what I've learned, not everyone thinks it's overpowered. Give this a look: FAMAS Nerf Incoming! - Battlefield 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF2Z7-GYSLo#ws)

lol "bit" with a lot of "i"s means more than just a bit. :P I've been playing a lot lately, unfortunately on console because I've been away from my desktop, and it is definitely OP to go against. It seems like you have practically no chance of winning 1 on 1.
Oh... New PB version. Update to it.

Topic unlocked after review. The reason I locked the topic was because I felt it was getting too heated. At this point, I'd have to say that the FAMAS being OP at least is subjective. I understand the admiration of simulators-I play one myself-but the simulators too have their own problems-I'm not convinced that the new wider dispersion of the Bofors L/70 gun in the simulator I play is realistic, since 1/4 or more shots are missing from 1000 meters out.

I've resigned my moderator position, since what I think needs moderating and what the rest of the team thinks needs moderating do not match. Odds are I'm not showing up here again, since all the ideas I had for Outerra are now exhausted and I've grown tired of simply watching as the community and development passes me by. The inability of cameni to see this for the taunting that it is has been the last straw for me. I may return, but it won't be as a moderator. Congratulations, I hope the community applauds you loud and long.

:o Wow man. Sorry about that. You didn't need to do that. I was just messing around. Hope you come back sometime.
-
Yeah, what happened?

You were? Sorry, I just took what you said personally. I was feeling rather vulnerable after my overreaction, and thought that your post was taunting me over my locking of the topic and then having to unlock the topic.

I just think you may not yet be a seasoned veteran of the internet forums world. I hope you don't go and instead just takes any future pressures with a grain of salt.

Oh yeah... I've met some people who are generally new to forums who have some bad reactions to what they see, mainly older adults. I'll just say that people on the internet and internet etiquette can be a lot different than real life etiquette and how people act in real life. Yeah, it can sometimes be hard to tell if there's sarcasm in text, but... there's a lot of sarcasm on the internet. :P
And then there's the real trolls...

Well, I'm not as green when it comes to the internet forums world as you might think, but sometimes I can be gullible, or think someone means one thing when in fact they meant another. Bottom line-it's just me. Jager-I've seen some unbelievable trolls, like the legendary sebra139 (http://www.stripcreator.com/forums/showthread.php?postnum=215874). Don't worry everyone, I'll be staying. A multiplayer Steel Beasts Pro PE campaign is due to start next month. I think I'll do a topic covering it. 8)

It's also very VERY easy to misinterpret a forum post. I've done my fair share over the last 12 years, and will continue to do so. But knowing you misinterpret something, or generally miss the vibe trying to be presented, is half the battle.
Lesser men don't take heed. Greater men do, and move on. The internet, after all is said and done, is nothing more than faceless pixels and machine-interpreted ones and zeroes. While the internet is a great tool to help some get out of their social cell, it can also be ripe for misinterpretation. You don't see the eyebrows raised, the subtle wink of the eye, nor the modest crook of the lips to indicate sarcasm. That, in and of itself, is the internet's greatest failing.
Still, a good troll can liven up a forum, even if it's only for the moderators. It's a dirty job, afterall.
And I should know -- I get paid for it =P

No you don't. Since 2003 I'm Admin on Dutchfs, a flight simulator website in the Netherlands and in Dutch of course. :) Years ago I discovered an article somewere about things going wrong on forums. I posted it on Dutchfs and a lot of people recognised it.
Here's a rough translation:
Every now and then members have a dispute on forums.
Of course, we are all different people, different backgrounds, different language, choice of words.
Misunderstanding is sometimes what happens then, but the other day I learned it's even worse!(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
7% of our communication is by written word, what we do here.
But in 'real life' we add gestures, bodylanguage and that's good for another 35%.
For the rest, 58%, we make ourselves clear with eyecontact, our voice, high pitch, low pitch.
No wonder it goes wrong every now and then. We have this 7% to explain the 100% of what we want to say!
Just asking a question, give an answer is no problem, but when emotions are involved, it's getting more and more difficult.
We have the emoticons of course, and maybe we can double this 7%(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) to 14%(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) by using them.
But then of course the other has to understand that 'you fool!(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)' is something different then 'you fool!(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)'
I can't remember were I found this knowledge, but if it's true, then we miss 93% of means of communication on a forum.
So maybe it's normal and we can't help it, that things go wrong (by accident!) sometimes..(http://www.dutchfs.nl/forum/images/smilies/icon_nixweiss.gif)
