PID spoofing

bigbacon's Photo bigbacon Nov 8, 2007

Does PB have any idea if they'll be able to combat htis problem?
Hackers are now spoofing our bf2142s PID and they can do whatever it is they want.
possibly get us banned by cheating, mess up our stats, get us banned from servers etc etc.

Huge uproar at the EA forums over this and so far no one with EA/DICE has either acknowledge the problem, or even gotten back to any of us that they will do anything about it.

bf pid's are nothing to do with PB, and all bans placed here are based on the players server assigned pbguid which is unique.
If your waiting for EA to do anything I would suspect your in for a very long wait Bro :)
