EA has dishonorably discharged “hundreds” of Battlefield 3 cheaters and boosters. The publisher has banned and stats-wiped offending accounts that used known exploits. The company is still on the hunt, saying it has a “zero tolerance policy for cheating,” so consider that fair warning.

The known glitches involve players earning tens of thousands of points in a round. If you happen to have experienced the “invincibility glitch” in a round, you likely didn’t earn yourself enough points to garner attention on radar and a smack from the banhammer.

DICE is currently working on a patch for Battlefield 3, which should likely resolve known glitches, and will reduce the distance of those horribly annoying, blinding flashlights. Guys, seriously, keep those things pointed at the enemy!
