Also, I play BF3 all the time and never encounter hackers. If I do, they don't have an effect on my enjoyment, since it's not all that noticable. Or maybe I play on great servers.
I was once killed by knife while driving a tank. Yes hackers exist in the game, yes DICE sucks at anti-cheat technology and relies on even suckier third party technology and no, they don't give a shit since every single time I have ever seen anyone reported for hacking the most that happens is their stats get reset, which only makes them want to cheat more to get their stats back up. That being said, the game is old and most of the hackers have moved on to grief in newer games now so you don't encounter them as much anymore. But when the game was new it was a nightly battle to find a server without some asshat ruining the game for everyone.
On to 2143: given EA's new "we're going to monetize the shit out of every possible thing" business model, I don't think a Battlefield 2143 game would turn out all that great. In fact, quite the opposite.
