Again too late, but as NoFaTe stated every exe nowadays is packed, this is the reason why you see all those jumps and nops, first of all you have to unpack the exe (and I bet that this exe is packed very well, it's DICE, right?) and after this you might be able to see "the real code".

v1.0 is not encrypted. I could even extract it with 7zip. But version 1.6 is beefed up a lot.

Even the Alpha Trial was packed.

Anybody have any idea on what can be done with command line arguments? They could potentially serve as a backdoor into BF3.exe, right?

I'm talking about the hidden switches that are installed in Bettlefold 3. Like these:

requestStateParams
requestState
State_MatchmakeCoOp
State_ResumeCampaign
State_CreateCoOpPeer
State_LoadLevel
State_ConnectToUserId
State_ConnectToGameId
State_ClaimReservation

Those are not hidden switches. They are used by the ESN launcher (Battlelog plugin) when launching the game in order to let the game know what it needs to do after initial initialization.

Yeah, that's what I was going for. When you join a server from Battlelog, these switches are invoked, and the game is instructed on what it should do, right?

The Russians could use a batch file to bypass battlelog and launch the game with a claim reservation state request to join their server.

What I am trying to do is to launch a multiplayer map on my own laptop, without anyone else. I want to browse the maps, and go outside the map boundaries to see if my theories about the nature of this game's development are true.

Again, no offense NoFaTe, but you seem kind of arrogant. You act like you know everything, and everyone else knows nothing.

You are not able to launch the game as a self-hosted listen server, as the server hosting backend is missing, as well as other dependencies required for that task. It might be possible by modifying some flags in the client files, but since that's not entirely possible after the latest updates and the changes to the file formats, it would require core modifications.

Also, I don't act like I know everything and everyone else knows nothing. You said something wrong, and I since knew about it I corrected it. It's nothing personal.

Would you rather me congratulating you for being wrong, or state some facts that would probably help you narrow down your 'search' and point you to the right direction?
