Im a admin on a 24.7 locker server and im a good admin. I had another admin tell me to stop using the server camera to cheat, is this even possible as in my manage server settings i cant even spectate. I was having an ok game but still messed up alot, heres the battle report [http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/32/744954114577272000/1650573964/](http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/32/744954114577272000/1650573964/) anyhow this other admin (dont want to name and shame) started saying how im caught for cheating and im abusing admin and when i showed him i went better on another server i dont admin he claimed [i have a friend spectating telling me where people are. So my question is, is this common cheating method people do? have friend spectating feeding them info? or is this guy just salty, he went 72 sixty something in that game… PS: my overall KD is low in comparison to how i went as i was actually a really aggressive sniper for 900 hours and only recently started reg gunning, reason im using the bulldog is to force my self to rely on better accuracy. im still a huge noob just less nooby then other regulars my gameplay is so bad compared to what it could be… ---

Yes. More common than actual hacks. More of a PC cheat though. ---

Now…wait a minute… I believed you until the “other admin” thing clicked. Is he an admin on the same server? He could tell if you are using the admin camera feature. My server didn’t even have that option. Many do though…especially spectator slots for admin use only. I still pretty much believe you though. ---

Is there anyway i can prove i have not spectated? would the option be in manage server?, as there isnt one there for me. im appealing to the server owner as i dont want this guy causing trouble getting me banned… ---

It would track the use of the 3rd person camera. By all means appeal it. Self spectating is way easier and cheaper on PS3. You need two consoles and two accounts. That’s two $90 consoles vs two $2000 PCs. You don’t even need two monitors…controller hooked to the machine you’re playing and monitor hooked to the machine in spectator…you’re playing in 3rd person that way with about a 0.25 second lag…easily countered by the X-Ray vision and corner peaking ability. Please don’t take this as a tutorial…this is one of the most dispicable cheats because it’s undetectable and not really even against the rules. DON’T DO IT ---

I had a noob buddy over one night he could not get a grip on the game and we were on two seperate consoles. Mine and my sons. I showed him spectator mode because he could watch and see more of the game then just lying behind a rock hiding. Within 2 minutes I was thinking How many squads/platoons/ scrubs do this everyday? He tried to give me call outs and I told him be quiet just watch you are messing with me, I did not even try to use it too cheat.
