Battlefield 3 dev hiring 'anti-cheat administrator' to stop the evildoers

4.3
Are you one of those guys in a helicopter hovering near spawn points in Battlefield 3 (say, an aircraft carrier), wantonly exploiting the game and infuriating players? You may not actually be cheating, but we still think you're the worst.

That aside, Battlefield 3 developer DICE is apparently looking to address all cheaters, and not just that guy who ruins the game for everyone with his stupid, stupid helicopter, as the company has posted an ad for an "anti-cheat administrator." The move follows a recent redoubling of DICE's efforts to combat cheating in its latest game release.

Said administrator will be tasked with a variety of responsibilities, many of which you'd expect a community liaison to handle, though the list is oddly missing "put up with staggering levels of infantile behavior from legal adults." Can you tell we don't like cheaters?

Ugadawgs111 Funny how they want to add helicopters and tanks then complain because people are using them.


You, and people like you, are why I hate this forums community. Think before you post something stupid like this.


Lol, +1; I completely agree.

The fact that they are using them isn't the problem, it's how they're using them.. Being cheap, getting easy, no-skill kills by hovering around in the spawns and picking off people.. That's against the spirit of the game.. the helicopter was planned to be a support unit, to go out into the center of the battlefield and assist in the destruction of a pesty tank, or aid in escorting your friend in a Humvee from one base to another.


Facts are this kind stuff is gonna happen when you have Helis and tanks etc.. Why not leave leave them out of the game? This wasn't a problem that just came about in BF3. It has been a known issue. Hey here is a helicopter, but you are not allowed to kill the opposing team over and over with it as they spawn. Yeah i think its BS for someone to rack up kills that way, but why punish the player?


Because no matter what people will always complain. I agree with you, if he wants to be a cheap noob eventually people will stop playing with him. Besides there are plenty of options in the game to deal with stuff like this. Its really not that hard for a few ppl. to switch to anti air and take them out. Just need a little coordination.

Haha have to love the cod fan boys whose lives are so pathetic that they have to spend their time in a BF3 article. You guys can head back to the cod section where all your fellow fans are complaining about your favorite game.

"Ugh I'm so mad that my only game is horrible for the 3rd year in a row, so I'm going to try and make someone else as miserable as me."
