Battlefield 3 is full of hackers. But not just any ordinary, annoying 100-1 hackers. With the most advanced hack tools than in any other game, this allows people to modify their games via a java applet and literally control all aspects of their gameplay. Go to this link, to see exactly what I mean: http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/t7201/im_a_hacker_and_i_have_some_information_for_the/ [reddit.com]All FPS games on the PC platform up until around about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, had extensive, immense and innovative. They were able to do a HELL of a lot more for the game, and literally stopped all hacking for the servers that supported these said anticheat mods. We had ASS anitcheat for Medal of Honor: AA, we had ESL Wire for Call of Duty just to name two. They literally eliminated hackers, because they were made by people whom love their games, and want to make it perfect for every one else.Punkbuster is a load of shit. It has been ever since Call of Duty 1. There is a reason their website looks like your grandma's saggy tits, because it resembles their programming. They have never been able to eliminate hacking, and only really become annoying when people were using added tools such as chat systems and graphical enhancers and getting kicked for them. You can keep paying Punkbuster if you want DICE/EA, if that what floats your boat, but it's not going to eliminate anything, which leads me on to my final fact:YOU ARE LOSING CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY DUE TO THIS. Much as every other multiplayer game with mod tools absent, you are doing nothing other than DRIVING AWAY YOUR FAN BASE. Wana know why Battlefield 2 was so popular amongst the PC community? Because you actually cared. You actually let us modify it in our own way, and improve on an already marvellous system.The great thing is, you won't ever have to pay these people.They will make the most immense extensions to your game, put their blood and soul into creating them and will just thank you for allowing them to do so. Are you out of your mind if you reject free labour for your product?From the day you ever release mod tools for this game, within aI would guarantee there would be an anticheat that would surpass Punkshitster 100 times over.Not only that, modders could bring tools and features in that you never even though of which you could take, FREE OF CHARGE, and implement into awesome DLC.The most important part of this all is this:There is no better power in business than the backing of your community. CD Projekt RED, Bethesda, Steam & Blizzard are prime examples of this. They show to their customers that they. Because of this, people will swear to buy your games, they will swear to buy your DLC. They'll worship you as a company, because all they have in their head is that you care about that one individual person.Right now, you keep your mouth shut, you release random "patches" that aren't actually patches but just modifications to coding values andI'm not one who likes to moan all day everyday, but I completely understand when these people constantly get annoyed and complain on the forums. It's because they feel unwanted by the company that they invest most their time into playing their games.Imagine a forum where your community just post threads about the good jobs you do, and some new mods or anticheats that everyone loves and makes them feel great that they are playing a great game (not to say this game isn't great, it's just mistreated).Ok... this is the internet, and this is an FPS, people will always be flaming at each other, theres a huge age-range, but you need to think of the bigger picture.I know you'll probably never even read this or consider it. But if you do, thanks for reading.
