Battlefield 3 developer DICE is hiring an 'anti-cheat administrator' in a further effort to abolish cheaters from its otherwise awesome online shooter.
"In our continued effort to keep our games free from cheating, we are now looking for an Internet savvy administrator," says a recent job listing.
"The administrator will compose an absolutely vital function to secure the online experience our games represent by actively be a part of the community and keep up to date with the current cheat exposure. The administrator will also own the analytical work with our player behavior data to keep our leaderboards and game play filled with fair play."
Cheaters will always find ways to get ahead at the expense of others, but hopefully this will curb a good deal of dirty play we see on the battlefield.

Will this stop the MAV floaters? I hope not. Nothing more hilarious than broken physics and snipers

Why not have an offline mode where you can play against bots. At least it would help if you were banned for no reason and found you could not play on the maps that you had bought. When they add that mode I will buy the game, not before then. I still cannot get into an online game in Battlefield 2, I get kicked nearly every time because my ping is to high, but there is nothing that I can do about it because I have mobile broadband and there is no other option, but I still play Battlefield 2 all the time because it has bots.

I think they'll need a lot more than just 1 to oversee the anti cheating. Make it 4 or 5 and the game should remain perfect for years to come.
