As a player of Battlefield 3 (on the PC), I’ve witnessed hacks and cheaters through vehicles doing things they shouldn’t be able to do to insta-kills with perfect shots through walls. The community is unimpressed that this is happening months after release and DICE understands and hates it too.
So, if you encountered this in your games, no matter the platform, DICE (and us) encourages you to head to the Battlelog site, look up the player you suspect is cheating, hit the triangle caution symbol beside their name and explain in full detail what happened, with a link to that match’s battle report. DICE will investigate it and take the appropriate measures (unleash the banhammer!).
I wonder how much of this anti-cheat push could be in response to the following video (more vids below):

People who do things demonstrated in the following videos ruin the experience, for people on both teams, and should be banned (some of the hacks shown in the below videos have been fixed).

Sad, no?
Why do these idiots do that when they can spend their time doing cool (legit) things like this:
