What is going on with BF3?
There are players consistently achieving high kill counts and low losses, which is impressive. However, some seem to disregard the game's balance. My stats are solid—2289 with a 2.44 K/D ratio and 17.3% accuracy. Using LMGs helps, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of skill in this meta. It feels like the game now favors those who can exploit loopholes.
The game has existed for over a billion years, which means some skilled players have been around. I’ve played a few similar games myself, like BF3 with the best settings and a powerful weapon. It’s possible there are many cheaters, but honestly, BF3 is quite straightforward—I often led in a small group of 64 using just a pistol (MP443 for sure).
A lot of players cheat, EA no longer cares much, but some sad gamers keep spending millions exploiting the mess.
It remains superior to Counter Strike... I can spot someone getting hit if they’re being revived.
. Or I’d set up C4 traps for enemy tanks—people get frustrated when they wait too long for a respawn and are caught before they can escape.
In BF3 I enjoyed baiting players who chased after tanks, helicopters, or planes. I’d try to snatch theirs, blocking their access. It got me banned from several servers for that kind of behavior

Setting up C4 along the exit road from the enemy base, while watching them depart in a vehicle, isn't exactly advanced strategy, honestly.
It's tough to tell if a player was cheating without watching them play, but as @ShadowCaptain mentioned, the game has been around for a while now. Some people become really skilled after learning the map’s details—like where to hide and how to dodge shots. I’ve noticed that if you dive into Battlefield, you can achieve similar kill-to-death ratios, but usually you just go all out as an Assault player.
