If you believe you have been the victim of outright cheating, the best way to report your concerns is to go to Battlelog, enter the profile page of the person you suspect and click the triangle in the top right corner of his name.While mandatory Origin activation and restricting each copy of the game to one single battlelog account isn't perhaps the best treatment for legitimate players -- not to mention their closed dedicated server model -- it's at least some consolation to see the positive effects it has on halting the hackers -- or least making them shell out for new copies of the game.
This will open up a window where you can describe to us at DICE what happened. Please enter as much detail as possible, describing what specifically makes you believe this player has used unfair methods, and preferably include a link to the Battle Report for the match in question.
These reports are then received by our analysts here at DICE who will do a deeper analysis of the situation and take appropriate action, including stats wiping and/or banning players who are confirmed as cheating.

I run into them every now and then. There was a player perched on top of a hill killing people all around the map with one shot from a p90. Players taking off and flying were not spared either. Punkbuster did nothing.

Because (for some insane reason) whether someone has been killed is purely a client-side decision, there are cheats that can instant kill from anywhere in the map without line of sight. Just the other day I was playing when someone racked up about 40 defibrillator kills in 5 minutes; the person responsible only left when the opposing team wised up and simply refused to spawn.

Even without cheating its annoying at times - from your perspective you will be behind cover but you can still die, since the computer of the person shooting at you doesn't know you're behind cover yet.
While this has been somewhat true I guess with all games using client-side prediction, its made worse since it doubles the latency between moving behind cover and actually being unhittable.

Haha, I was in this server.
Hackers are such wankers.

This very reason is the reason people hate MW3, and yet everyone loves BF3 even though it has this rubbish? L O L!
(p.s. I'm not a mw fanboy, I did like bad company 2 but I heard bf3 was mostly sandy maps and there's enough sand in my vag, don't need any more)

I guess on the plus side if they do actually start banning accounts, it makes it reaaaally obvious who is cheating
