Battlefield 3 Developer Seeking An "Anti-Cheat Administrator"


Never cheated at Solitaire? DICE wants to hire you!

Fast on the heels of a string of Monster.com [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115463-Hackers-Boast-of-Framing-Innocent-BF3-Players] shows the company is seeking an "Anti-Cheat Administrator" to analyze player data and help promote fair play.

"In our continued effort to keep our games free from cheating, we are now looking for an internet savvy administrator," The job posting states. "The administrator will compose an absolutely vital function to secure the online experience our games represent by actively [being] a part of the community."

The Anti-Cheat Admin will also be expected to "keep up to date with the cheating community," probably by lurking on websites dedicated to hacks and cheats for games like those found on Artificial Aiming. [http://www.artificialaiming.net/forum/index.php] A supposedly "Junior Member" of AA.net claimed credit for a series of recent hacking incidents in Battlefield 3, where innocent players found their accounts banned from servers running BF3's in-game anti-hacking program, Punkbuster.

So if you think you're a fair, just and honest enough individual (or at least, you try to be), you can check out the full job listing at Monster or at DICE's job board [http://www.dice.se/hiring.asp] for details on how to apply. Just remember to tell the truth on your resume.

Wrong thinking there! You don't want a guy who's always been completely honest hunting hackers, you want the gaming equivalent of Frank Abagnale.
Track down a guy who knows every trick in the book and probably invented a few of them, he'll be able to track cheating a lot more effectively than some schmuck who's barely aware that PunkBuster runs two processes and you can spoof them both...

I greatly surprised that they don't have one already. It seems to me that any multilayer game would need someone to keep eye on what the hackers are up to. If DICE are only to be getting around to it now makes them look like that they are behind the curve.

Your avatar makes this comment so much more appropriate in a "I always get my man" kinda way.

Wait, wait, how do you cheat on solitaire?
If you're playing with actual cards, then you can lift the cards up and take what you want from the pile. (Muahahahahaha)
