You mean the fuzzy screen you get when you fly too high with it?

Aaaaaaand now we've got hacked/modded lobbies to deal with

Here's a blogger I found who had some video, but I just ran into this exact thing a few minutes ago myself. First time I went flying through the air I figured "okay, that was a weird glitch" but when it happened again I figured somebody would have it on the internet

edit to add: Give the video a few seconds & you'll see what I'm talking about. That's exactly what I just saw myself.

I don't have any of the issues of going up against hacked / modded kiddos if I do, I might not realize it.

Aside from this, I finally hit lvl 80, went Prestige and I am at level 17 prestige and I am working to get back up there, I forgot how big of a pain in the ass it is to be low level.

Inspired by my brother in law, I've been doing a fair amount of sniping lately.

Using the ACR, I had my best amount of total kills to date. I'm sure others here have surpassed it, but 35 kills in a game made me smile.

[Poli]

My kill death ratio is up to .94 as well. About a month ago it was around .65. I had a few misconceptions about the game and online play early on...I haven't been much of an online player in years past.

After that gutless Kodos reported me for exploiting a football game I haven't played much online until MW3.

Or not ...

New Battlefield 3 update problems for some - In Entertainment

After some issues related to the d'load itself were resolved ... there are other problems with the patch itself once in the game, such as being unable to access and getting out of vehicles, as well as weapons changing themselves.

I was going to try out battlefield 3 via gamefly, but thanks to that $10 login pass I won't

I haven't seen that on PS3....but I think the changes they made greatly improved the game. I didn't get the initial dload either as I updated a couple days ago.

That bit about "changing weapons" brought back way too many memories. That issue rendered MW2 unplayable for me for months.

Found this floating around the interwebz concerning the mandatory 5MB update from a couple of days ago. I didn't even know the "de-rank" hack existed. That would have been hunt-somebody-down-and-kill-them caliber shit right there.

“The emergency Title Update that went live a few days ago was to combat the recent wave of hack and mod attacks. We previously already released a hot-fix that prevented the spread of these virally through joining public matches. However, malicious individuals were sadly still using other propagation vectors to disseminate hacks, including one that could reset a player’s rank.

This TU #11 has tightened our security on these vectors. To be safe, while we monitor the situation, please continue to IGNORE friend invites from anyone you do not know !

Anyone who has suffered from a rank reset please contact Activision with your GamerTag. We shall be reverting all victims to the rank they attained pre-attack.

We are taking all available measures to prevent future hacks of this nature. We take the sanctity of the game experience very seriously."

Aaaargh.

Lag this morning is the worst I've seen in ... hell, I don't know when. Online is absolutely unplayable for me today & that's annoying as hell.

Double XP weekend.

Currently at Prestige XV, lvl 56.

Hoping to max out within the week.

Played a bit with my 'family' in Mississippi this weekend. The 14 year old was trying to sell me on using the specialist strike package.

A fair number of the hard(er)core players I know are strict Specialist guys. I've kinda become one but in my case it's strictly a powerleveling tool, I get a lot more bonus XP that way than with the others.

I love it. I use Scavenger, Hardline, and steady aim as my normal perks. My unlocked are sleight of hand, assassi, and extreme conditioning, then the all perks bonus. I like it because with hardline as my normal one, I get sleight of hand after my first kill which can be a huge benefit.

I haven't really been getting more kills since I've switched (avg. 20 before, now I avg. 22), but I do notice I die a lot less. My k/d is up to 2.5, and I can see it getting to 3 in not too much time.

I've spent more time on this game than most of my RPG gaming combined.
