News BF3 Battlelog moderator in matches he was suppose to moderate himself
#1
Battlefield 3 hacking problems escalate
If cheating and hacking wasnt a big enough of a problem in Battlefield 3 already, it turns out that one of the Battlelog moderators was caught hacking in the very same game hes supposed to moderate.
If it wasnt bad enough that there was just one more hacker in Battlefield 3, he was also promoted to moderator status by DICE, which gave him all sorts of privileges e.g. deleting forum posts in Battlelog, according to some reports. The player, who went by the name MrPopper777, has since been removed as moderator and his stats have been wiped.
If there ever was an indication of just how big the hacking problem in Battlefield 3 is, this was it. Not only did DICE fail to catch him, they promoted him. Coming across a hacker in Battlefield 3 is now a common thing. Reporting players on Battlelog doesnt seem to be working, or at least working fast enough. Even a simple glance at the top leaderboards reveals a horde of hackers, cheaters and boosters, and yet, those players have been there for months.
DICE needs to take stronger measures against hacking in Battlefield 3, if its even possible at this point. PunkBuster can only do so much, as Battlefield 3 has no built-in anti-cheat system. To make matters worse, when hackers are found, usually only their stats are wiped, while their accounts remain free. They simply go on hacking under a different name.
If DICE cant catch the obvious hackers who headshot teams across the map and get 200+ kills in a round, how can they ever catch the subtle hackers? The ones who hack just enough so they seem like very good players, and not hackers?

BF3 engine fails. Lots of the stuff is clientsided (location, bulletdamage, ammo, health). BF:BC2 didn't have that problem afaik.

Also: play on moderated dedicated servers. Problem solved.
