Battlefield 2142 Patch 1.4 Beta? More Hacks, cheats, etc. then usual

[TheHeartSmasher]

The Tampa map is a nice addition but when is the BF2142 1.4 Beta going to go to 1.4? I hope things are not as bad as they seem, seems a bit long for it to go full. Since it's release June.

I hope EA is working on some major fixes along with removing exploits and exploitable features including: pod surfing glitching, titan squad leader glitch, etc.

There also seems to be a larger percentage of hackers, cheaters, and glitchers in game. I just hope EA comes out with solutions in the near future to reduce the chances of these individuals.

There has also been a large amount of heat going towards punkbuster for their servers crashing, or clients crashing to desktop. I have opened a few tickets with punkbuster but none of them have been answered, I fear there is no one there. When I submitted a ticket about a year ago I would normally get a response within 24 hours. If it were not for punkbuster I can guarantee our game play would be much worse and close to unplayable if it were not for the fear of Punkbuster.

If it where not for the 3rd party websites that help add certain unwanted individuals to their Master Ban lists, who knows how horrible our gaming experiences would be. If you have a supported punkbuster server please get them streaming to PunksBusted and PBBans with Automatic Screenshots so if you do find a hacker/cheater/etc. you can get them added as soon as possible without problems.
