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

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
