  DICE did their typical "lie through your teeth about it not being an issue in the retail game" thing for BF3 and this year it was cheaters. And like usual its been a fun adventure:
  
  * For BF1942 it was 3rd party server browsers being implemented (they weren't for a while, at launch it was gamespy only)
  
  * For BF2 it was that the server browser had been fixed after demo/beta feedback and was responsive and good in the retail game. It really wasn't.
  
  * For BC2, see BF2
  
  * For BF3 it was that they had designed the netcode to make it difficult to cheat. Stuff like making sure a kill was physically impossible. On release, people were being knifed from across the map. Even in tanks.
