    For the love of God why?

    Why have you allowed so many hackers to destroy the multiplayer? PC multiplayer is full and I mean absolutely full of hackers. I googled hacks for your game, they are widespread! They are a dime a dozen. What the hell is wrong with companies that make FPS games that allow hackers to defile the game? Combat Arms is at the top of the list but I really expected more from Farcry3, very disappointed. People are chamming, aimbotting ect ect, this game just died to me. Won't be back on multiplayer until you fix the gaping holes in your security. Riddle me this, what is the point of playing as a legit player with no hacks, against legions of losers who need to hack to be halfway decent at the game? They destroy a legit players KDR in a couple of games. Very, very sad. . . . Yes IAMMADBRO!

    I've played an awful lot of multiplayer - enough to level 20 all my main guns except sniper rifles. I have to say cheating isn't that rife.

    I've spotted a few hackers of course, but there is much in the way the game is implemented that makes it seem like it is far worse than it is.

    1. Lag for one thing - there will always be a number of players with that due to the way the lobby/host system works.

    2. Aim assist for controller users - a bone of contention, which has it's ups and downs but being what it is makes some kills terribly bad.

    3. Experience of the games maps and weapons. When you master those then you can run around nailing opponents left, right and centre.

    I've won full maps using pistol only or the 1887 and even as a sniper. On the rare occasions I use a SMG I can run around ruining everyones game alas.

    I get frustrated when some top ranked players play map after map using the easiest guns in the game while I'm trying to give others a chance and enjoy using the difficult guns. On one such occasion with so many doing it I turned to using flamethrower only to show them that no skill is needed with the right weapon to win.

    Stay with it matey, theres some good times to be had and I assure you the hacking isn't as bad as what it seems.

    The best games I've had have been 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 where you sneak around and get to play the game in all sorts of style.

    I think at the end of the day the multiplayer was implemented so badly that it even put off lots of hackers

    Any game you'll find tons of cheats advertised but remember these are mostly sites looking at dropping a trojan onto that players machine and good enough for them too!

    btw, don't ever give a hoot for your kill to death ratio - it's bad form to. If you opt to demonstrate your skill mastering all the weapons and help your team out reviving them then you'll get a bad K : D however you'll be a better player for it.

    I can hit 30 odd kills for just a couple of deaths all day long with a SMG like we all can with enough practice. Thats if we so wish to at the displeasure of others though. Personally I play MP for the challenge and to enjoy fragging with rather than fragging at which is why I've levelled up most of my weapons instead and often feel like the team medic. My overall K : D is only about 1.5 but what matters more is I've helped many more games than hindered.

    Instead of kill to death, focus on the amount of revives and the difficult weapons you use. Try and impress yourself, not others.
