BF3 servers on 3FL are a disgrace

[jumboeggbob]

I don't think I've ever seen one admin on 3FL BF3 servers, and I play 'em a lot. Their servers are rife with cheaters. Of course I'm not talking about the stupid cheaters, its the smart cheaters that just look really good. Probably the most common cheat I encounter is the map hack. No I don't have any hard physical evidence to show, and maybe made a mistake or 2, but after many many hours of game play, it's really quite obvious just by the way they play, and the high k/d ratios they get -play any other server and it just doesn't happen. You can't run around a crowded server round after round getting killed only a few times.

So I was reading a lot a good things about GON BF3 servers,rules and admin wise, tried a few and yes its all true. So now that 3FL has joined with GON, I wonder if any of this is going to rub off? There's really only 2 or 3 3FL BF3 servers that get used regularly, so it wouldn't be too hard.

I gave up hope long ago.

Hopefully GoN swallows up the 3FL servers soon so that there's a single brand, backed by a combined admin base that are actually active.

There was an article on this site's news only recently......

But without proof its well speculation, I've been been on 3fl gun master servers nearly every day since Close quarters came out and haven't seen cheaters if they were there they still weren't very good since i won a fair few of my matches. K/D rations near 5/1. Surround sound and paying attn to 3d map and death markers go a fair way.

I'm not saying they weren't on the servers you were playing, since you didn't say which servers but i haven't seen too many/if any.

tried to log onto my procon a few days ago and with no success the servers i tend to watch, don't show up. all i get is red x's in every spot. yes i sent out an e-mail to support@3fl.net.au

haven't had time to actually check my mail because i am out of the country. Talked to 2 other admins of ours, and they had the same thing.

but when i get back home, my in game tags are spy1noob, feel free to add it, if procon is up unless they are switching over to something that doesn't fail, and would allow me to do ingame commands instead of alt tabbing or using my phone.

edit: If you have proof, more than happy to review it as well. send it to me here in PM or if you want one of my e-mail addresses just send me a pm looking for it. I do tend to read my pm's when i am back in my country, here is just costing me too much money at the moment, unless i do it from my computer(s) which don't have procon installed on them yet.

This was an issue with a firewall rule, but that's now been resolved. Shoot me a PM or an email if you're still having problems connecting.

You can't run around a crowded server round after round getting killed only a few times.

I've never heard of anything like that existing. I can think of a few players who have occasionally finished a round on a 64 player server with a KDR of over 5. That doesn't automatically mean they're hacking, they might just be really good players.

If someone is in an enemy chopper and has 60 kills to 3 deaths, or they had a great run as a sniper, that doesn't mean they deserve to be banned.

If you have any actual evidence of such a hack, or examples of it being discussed widely on the Battlelog forums or Reddit's BF3 forum with images/video to back it up, then I'm happy to look into it. Send any examples through to support@3fl.net.au.

I know players that regularly go 80-1 on 3FL #25 and #64 in planes.

The map cheat he is probably talking about would be the mini map cheat, which is a standalone mini map from the ingame standard one that comes with the cheat I'd say.

i haven't seen too many/if any.

Cheating players are out there but unless the player is cutting loose, or it directly affects you while playing you won't really notice them.

There's some night's we are able to ban them without the server seeing us do it, and then there's other times the server is going spack.

Then you get the one's who cry wolf that think someone is cheating because they may have been bested twice by them.

The best thing you can do is get evidence and submit it too whichever server you are on.

games.on.net submit screen shots, video or link it, and as much info as you can.

I see by reading this thread that it did not take long before it started with the hackers and cheaters its a shame to see it in BF3 it had taken along time to get to play a decent game of BF2 but do as -Slayer- has told you to do and report the mongrels dont stand bye and just talk about it report them.

BF3 Cheaters Enjoy A Bantastic Time!

Just like any good design implementing security by obscurity, hackers and cheaters will find a way to exploit the system in no time flat. In this instance, DICE said via Twitter that cheaters have "found a glitch that allows them to use the Engineer repair tool or the EOD Bot to garner tens of thousands of points in a match." A beautiful and satisfying cheat if ever there was one, really letting you get on the wrong side of your fellow player! However, there's this small problem, since developer DICE has now cottoned on to underhand tactics and is banning these sporting gamers en-masse. Isn't retribution wonderful?

Via Twitter, DICE reported, "This week we've banned hundreds of offending accounts and have stats-wiped accounts for exploiting (such as boosting)..." and they also ask for honest gamer's help in nailing the culprits, "To report players cheating or boosting send us a direct message to this Twitter with a screen shot of the Battle Log Report." There is also a problem with the Sony PS3 version of the game, which will be addressed with a patch, soon. This suggests that the bug is in the core program code, rather than a platform-specific implementation. Finally, one should always strive to behave honestly and ethically in life and it looks like in this instance it really pays off. Here's wishing all honest players an enjoyable time playing BF3, free from cheaters.

I love playing on internode servers because we love our admins here!
They do a great job keeping the servers clean, all other servers I join are typically full of hackers, people TKing with jeeps for the hell of it and just immature idiots.
In the last 25 minutes tonight, I've joined and quit 3 different servers for those 3 reasons!
Too bad the only node servers that are full of players are never the full map rotation ones though, so I mostly step out of my comfort zone and put up with it.
There's only co much caspian border I can take.

Thank you the admins try there best.

It's very hard to prove the jeep one without video of it, I have warned and ended up kicking a few in the servers for it as I have witnessed them doing it which is very hard to dispute, no thanks to Dice for for not giving us a BR file like in BF2 the tards have become bigger tards.

It sounds like you pick the bad times to look at the servers, they seem to go in waves one week a certain type will be full and another night we look and the full rotation servers are full.

[tacitus42]

you've pretty much just described my bf3 playing habits there

[jumboeggbob]

Thanks for your replies. Yeh I keep telling myself, "you must be wrong, there can't be this many cheaters around". But it happens too often, I'll be hidden somewhere where it is just not physically possible to be spotted (and there's no tanks with proximity scanners around), and someone will come straight up jump around the corner and aim exactly at my head without a millisecond hesitation. The legit ones who stumble upon you clearly take a fraction of a second to see you then take aim. Yeh sometimes maybe I was spotted from a long way a way, or maybe from the air, but there are numerous times when I know there was absolutely no possible way I was spotted.
The other very common one is when I see someone spotted on the map coming my way, I have the full element of surprise and they come straight into my sights at full sprint. But before I finish the kill with multiple bullets to the head, they manage to stop sprinting and kill me with one shot -only on 3FL servers this happens time after time after time. On any of the other servers I play I will get the kill most of the time (maybe 9/10), yeh sometimes I do initially miss the head and the other player has lightening reflexes, but on 3FL servers it happens all the time.
These sorts of things I just can't see how you would show evidence.

[spynoob]

fair enough with your response there, I have been busy over the past few weeks and basically only keeping a steady watch on chat.

Currently on holidays but well i am here, I might as well get procon to keep a watch this way it's on my laptop as well as my desktop and phone. My ingame name is spy1noob. No xfire on this computer but will install it later.

If you are looking to get in touch with myself (i normally never sleep anyways) through different means other than in game, shoot me a PM, i do have steam and xfire. willing to wake up (if i hear my phone go off) and deal with things as they need to be dealt with.

I have knocked off a few players that come stumbling into 3fl servers through different players that have gotten intouch with me, Or being 1 shotted from main base, to main base with buildings in the way... was pretty funny when he got banned.

edit hax: got procon set up now on laptop

When admin here ban a user from the servers do they also submit a report via battlelog? obviously the admins would have more proof than us users?

[spynoob]

that i can't answer, though i have been given a substantial amount of proof before from users, such as pictures, videos, and even youtube links they have put in. (back on 3FL private messages)
