Looks like you have an aimbot violation with punkbuster.You will need to appeal that ban with them. ---

No one here can fix this. Your best bet is with EvenBalance the makers of punkbuster. ---

ok what the i get this message: “Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player ‘Painfull\_Warfare’ (for 1210 minutes) … [PBBans.com](http://PBBans.com) enforced a previous Unofficial MBi Ban for Painfull\_Warfare. [Admin Decision” seriously guys, i have never touched a hack in my life, how do they ban someone that isn’t hacking. like i had a ultra long headshot around 1700m but that was just me and a friend of mine shooting with our sniper in silk road… really sad that they just ban a player who’s supporting the battlefield games since battlefield 2 ---
