A few players had stupidly high K/D ratios (one player had 95/2) and there were constantly standing at walls and then picking people off ie: it would be impossible for them to know where the enemy was. It all kicked off on chat 
Apparently there are a fair few hacks for BC2, this being one of them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOiEuNed6mU

Had high hopes for BC2 but its fading fast. It looks impressive but there are a handful of issues that are really pissing me off. Main one being lag compensation where hit boxes and registered shots are constantly getting adjusted (fairly well known from looking around forums) which might be fine for consoles but on a PC it isn't really (as you can connect to local servers etc) - i.e.: you run out of the way from fire, duck behind a wall, firing stops, second later the kill gets registered and you're dead. Likewise I’ve had it happened where I’ve shot at someone, we've both duck behind walls and a few seconds later I get a headshot kill even though no shots have been fired in those few seconds.
Another issue is Ping, which appears to mean naff all. Pick a UK server, ping 20ms in the server browser, ping 15ms or so to the IP address (Ping in command prompt), yet when you're in the server and there is literally only a handful of players, it'll show me that I have ping of 100-200ms. What the fuck is that all about?
Mouse sensitivity is another one. I've got it on max, so 1, and it's still too slow! Don't have this issue in other game (CT, DoD, BF2142, COD4 etc) but in BC2 it's like stirring porridge whilst moving about. Tried mouse acceleration but it makes mouse movements erratic and jerky.
Generally chunkiness of the UI, it's pretty shocking and slow. Start game, it displays connecting for 10 seconds or so, open up friends list, shows connecting, open up servers, displays connecting  After initial load it should be instant i.e.: like COD4.
I've found a few tweaks that might sort a lot of it, particularly the lag compensation, but at this rate it'll be eBay or retired to the drawer 
Edit - Perfect video showing lag compensation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjeBjdeWt-0

We must have had some lag going down last night on mine and matt's game as i was on Heavy Metal and spotted a sniper from the other team very close to use, so i lined up a head shot (couldnt miss he was that close) fired and nothing happened  then he ran off and i had to chase after him with my pistol, even a few of them shots "missed".
Edit: That video you posted Dom is EXACTLY what happened, except i was closer.

Never had anything like that happen. BC2 is perfect in every way.

No need for any BC2 tinted glasses then mate
Its very rare it happens but it does and its slightly annoying, I mean if that guy had of killed me the game would be in my neighbours pond right now.
Sometimes it works in your favour though, one shot i had last night i actually went "fuck missed him" then the kill came up Alright then 
Much prefer this with headsets though. COD for playing on your own or a quick bash with mates, BFBC2 for when i fancy something a bit more challenging.

Occasionally I'll experience mouse lag but nothing major that change the way I have to play, obviously there will be hackers, every game has these little cretins but you come across them less in BF, I've still not seen any my menus and everything load quick, no problems there, get a fraps video Dom and show me what you mean about the UI

I have had the lag thing happen on COD but cant remember it happening on BC2, at least certainly nothing like on that video - that's mental

Remember me saying about that sniper near us on the hillside yesterday Matt? That was exactly what happened to me, two clear as day headshots and nothing happened, until i chased after him with my pistol

Yeah I do remember you saying that. Never had any lag that's meant I can't kill someone though

Q6600 @ Stock (might up it to 3GHz or so, but i can't imagine it making much difference), 4GB Ram, 8800GT, win7 x64
The 8800 is probably letting it down slightly, afterburner is giving me 30-45fps during heavy action.
Yeah, the menu's are about as quick as the video you posted, perhaps a tad slower. It's probably the 'connecting' screen that is doing it
I've tweaked some of the settings (google lag fix, requires adding a few lines to the settings ini) and it seems to have sorted it a bit regarding the hitboxes, although it could just be placebo.
I read on the BC2 forums that the recent Nvidia drivers (well recent for 8800) fixed a few issues with it laggy, so will give them ago and see how i get on

Still a load of bollocks. Emptied a whole clip into someone standing about 3ft away with red-dot and they had time to switch to pistol and nail me with it, complete bullshit. And this isn't once; it happened a fair number of times in the space of an hour or so.
Anti-Lag/Lag Compensation/Hit Detection is all over EA forums, yet all DICE have done is increase the size of the hit boxes

Would say the game is pretty decent but in its current state with this shite hit-detection, it's pretty much unplayable. Have already updated GPU drivers and tried some magical compensation tweak which is a complete placebo from removing/adding them a number of times. Got one last tweak to try, getting the CPU to render a few more frames before it throws it to the GPU, but if that doesn't work it gets uninstalled
