While this game is PunkBuster enabled, PB isn't actually enabled :\

Not really that funny, it's more funny that hackers are still allowed to run rampant. Hackers destoyed Crysis 2 MP for me :(

Battlelog is being updated now!

Yeah, I noticed, I got booted out of a game and we were winning too. Sad.

I'm not to concerned about hackers in release because they were handled pretty well in BC2. In my nearly 600 hours in BC2 I saw maybe 4 hackers and they were usually quickly dealt with by admins. I just don't get why they don't enable PB during the beta trial.

Very good point mate. In my 400+ hrs on BC2 I saw maybe 5-6 real hackers.

I think it's kinda smart of DICE to leave PunkBuster off for now and don't do too much against hackers in the Beta phase, that way they can see what exactly they do and how the hacks improve over time hopefully giving us a hack free final game with the day-0 patch^^

It's the same screen where you choose your class and switch weapons. Left/Right changes class, LB/RB changes highlighted weapon, and Up/Down selects spawn point. You should be able to go up and down (the selection is in the upper-left area right under "ATTACKER DEPLOY POINTS" or "DEFENDER" depending on which side you're on) unless you're either not on a squad or your whole squad is dead.

Sorry about the blurry pic. This was quickly captured from a Youtube video.

Ahh ok. I got it then. Thanks!

you two play a lot of battlefield...

This is the exact reason I'm currently hating this game...

that instant death thing has happened to me a couple of times. especially being in perfect cover and then all of a suddent dying because the server finally caught up. this technically shouldn't be an issue if you are in a fast server.

it's so annoying. i don't know what worse though. at least the bullets are killing you in this, youtube videos of the hit registration in BC2, it's pretty bad sometimes...

Went through your games, and didn't really find anything suspicious. The only game jumped on my radar, was this one: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/767305/1/325960090/ libra_nick got pretty high number of kills, but that's pretty much it. Her/his accuracy is too low and I guess Lino_Germany's is at 100 because he killed someone and quit. Doubt anyone really hacked.

There was definitely a hacker there, I searched the games I played but couldn't see a name to remind me who it was, if you want the name of a confirmed hacker check out "VToThe0" I was just playing that person a few minutes ago approx 8:15 EST and it racked up 100 kills in a matter of minutes using an auto-aim.

So I unlocked the AN-94. It's lovely gun. I think perhaps even better than the legendary UMP. But it has a huge glitch that gives you a MASSIVE advantage.

I was wondering how that gun would perform. Judging by your post it's completely broken though.

Have you used the DAO-12 yet? That gun is amazing.

Gotta say I absolutely LOVE playing aggressive sniper (either attack or def). They just don't expect a recon in the face. Especially with a SVD or MK11. God damn it, it's beautiful. I've just hit Rank 50 in 28 hours of playtime... :o

The gun itself is amazing, kills pretty well. It's the animation, sound and glitchness of it that lets it down.

Haven't really tried any of the shotguns to be honest. Only really gave the 870 a go

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
