Announcement Regarding Hacking and Cheating

Freshly came out from developers:

We've got a few malcontents hacking the game at the moment; unsurprisingly our telemetry is showing the problem is significantly reduced from the beta, and we've been banning people's Origin accounts as they show up. The new systems we have in place allow them to identify people who are cheating much more easily than in the past, and we are taking advantage of that.

Having said that, I'd ask that everyone remain vigilant and send me a private message on gamesas if you see a cheater, preferably with some form of evidence, such as screenshots or even better videos. This allows us to cross reference evidence of our players with the telemetry that our automated systems provide.

So far we've banned six Origin accounts, and will continue to ban more as they become apparent.

"Naming and shaming" on the public forum will not be tolerated and any such posts will be removed immediately due to the risk of false positives.

The Origin account 'bodycount' will be updated as we find cheaters.

Since it was locked for replies, I just wanted to express my excitement. Way to go guys, that's great news.
