DICE Threatens Banhammer on Gamers Caught Cheating During Battlefield 3 Beta

[Gamercide]

 

The Battlefield 3 beta has been live for a little over a week and gamers have already found ways to cheat in order to gain the upper hand in battle.  DICE has come forward and is threatening to swing the mighty banhammer towards any gamers who are caught using any kind of cheats and/or glitches.

“The hammer will fall swiftly and accurately,” noted DICE’s CM Ian Tornay on the Battlefield 3 forums.

According to Gameranx , DICE has disabled cheating protection in multiplayer beta so that they can see and monitor what extremes players will go to just to anger other gamers and rack up those kill counts.

So far during my playing of the beta I saw a few gamers glitching out of the map, so here is to hoping that DICE and EA can get this under control or else their hopes of beating Activision’s Modern Warfare 3 in the sales department will be like throwing a dummy grenade into a group of enemies who are advancing swiftly on their position.

Kinda effed up when half the time you can accidentally fall through the floor.

Wait, they intentionally disabled cheating protection? What in the hell for?

@Dat They wanted to be able to monitor what kind of cheats and glitches people use/find. Kind of sounds like to me they are using it as an excuse to patch things that they let go.

What's confusing to me is that there is cheat protection. So if it already makes these cheats unuseable then what's the point of turning it off?

Well one thing is for sure I will not be getting this game for the multiplayer. I don't care if it's a beta or not. This multiplayer is so sloppy that it makes playing Soldier of Fortune's mulitplayer look like gold. More than half of the time you get kicked out of the room, can't find a room, have to do deal with ****** glitches like spawing in rocks and having to commit suicide just to get out, stupid screen doing this wierd blinking thing every 5 seconds or so...this is just piss poor for his game releasing very very soon. Absolutely fricking piss poor showing.

There will be a ton of people asking why the beta sucked so bad, when the game comes out. lol
