'Battlefield 3' beta gets hacked

[Larry-G]

The Battlefield 3 limited beta has been hacked, with gamers now able to play all game modes, including the 128-player simultaneous Paris map.

The official beta only allows for 32 players at-a-time in the map, which was originally shown off at E3.

Developer DICE is certainly not happy with the development and has threatened to have users banned if they use the new levels.

Says the DICE rep:

Please avoid temptation and remain on those official servers while we work to have these servers dealt with. Playing on those servers can cause your account to become compromised, stats to be altered or other issues to arise which may lead to having your account banned by EA.

If your account gets banned it does mean any EA game you have your account would also be unavailable.

I guess this is for the PC beta ... as the xbox beta only has 24 players anyway (which is the limit iirc), and less likely to be able to get different servers etc.

Anyone playing the battlefield beta? Wot u think of it. I found it quite laggy and really difficult to get a good run with, as the minute you kill someone and start getting ok, you get shot down like mad! lol

ive not bothered with the beta this time round. going to get the full game on release instead.

Well, tonight I had a fair few good rounds and got mostly positive k/d ratios

Think I will probably enjoy cod mw3 more, but will likely have a play with this as an alternative

lol i bought COD blackops at launch and after lending it out to mates and family i finally got it back 6 months later and i could not be bothered with it. just started playing the last few weeks. i'll be getting COD wm3 as well but this time friends and family can bugger rite off and buy their own.
