@N4v1s I cant speak for the netcode assistance you're speaking of but if it exists it's never helped me. I've had friends tell me my player has been standing still while on my screen I'm running around. If you shoot me I die but when I shoot you...nothing as I'm not actually there. What I see and what the game sees is 2 very different things. As I said planes fly very linear and so when they turn I can workout where they're going to be. However on the ground you can go in any direction at any time and that's where you'll get dropped. I'm on Xbox so perhaps it's different on other platforms but I imagine the same applies to all.

Back to the topic at hand...

@EA_Atic 

It's getting worse. I've started to notice that multiple hackers with the same clan tags are joining servers and going on opposite teams to ensure both sides get a hammering, plus they're somehow circumventing the stupid anti-profanity filter (which, in case I haven't already mentioned, is stupid and a waste of time).

What's more worrying is how DICE took the time to implement and test a profanity filter, which nobody really wanted, but didn't have the time to implement an anti-cheat such as punkbuster.

Honestly, I've NEVER played a game where the hacking is as bad as it is in this game... Even going back to games I was playing 15 years ago. Yeah sure when I played Swat 4 there were hackers, but there were admins to deal with it, so it was all in hand. In this game, there is NOTHING. They can roam free and do as they please. And EA/DICE banning them (when they get around to it) is hardly a deterrent because they can go straight onto a CD key resell site and buy a key for around $5, if that.

We need dedicated servers back.
