Whats the Kill to Death ratio of you guys like, initially I didn't care about this but I've started to become more and more focused on it recently, getting it from 0.6 to 1.33. How do you guys fare?

I think the game itself is good, but I don't bother with buying one of those expansion packs. IMO the best "expansion" will be http://www.desert-conflict.org/

CTF version of BF2 anyone? :

ATM my ratio is 1.07, but this includes all the cheap artillery strikes just as u spawn...

I dont tend to camp but I do u "stealth" to get my kills. I probably could get better K/D ratio but then my KPR would be lower I'd expect. KPR is ~10 and KPM is 0.64.

0.45, but only a corporal learning the ropes atm

1.97 k/d ratio its never been less than 1. per round 10.43 and 0.72 a minute.

I never use aircraft so my KD ratio suffers a bit, doesn't help when you decide to ry and get your knife and pistol badges but fail miserably either

Think mine is around 1.45 at the moment...

I just about managed the pistol badge the other day, but the knife badge is another story

Anyone got any tips?

I think I got my best kill streak of 24 as a chopper gunner on the peninsula. Ive been killed by planes and never even heard them coming! Its a bit daft.

Edited my post to make it a bit clearer. I just prefer fighting on the ground it all seems a bit easy being a flyboy, plus if I'm honest I haven't had the patience to learn to fly the copters effectively as yet, I'm not too bad in a plane though. It's a bit more up close and personal when you're running around chasing the enemy with the defib paddles

I was quite pleased when I saw I had a 39 kill streak but also I have a 12 death streak. My K/D is only 1.07 and it was half that for a long time.

Dont much like the idea of being a stat ho though and I play the game for the most interest and the team win. Stats affected by my gameplay rather then the other way round I think is best

Anyone had any connection problems lately ?

My DG834 router drops out occasionally (on BT yahoo adsl) of late, despite it running perfectly for 3284hrs previously.

Are there any confirmed BT problems or BBF2 problems ?

Dr_Evil · 11 Jan 2006 at 12:53

Update the firware, i had identical probs. on pipex and it's sorted now!

Errol · 11 Jan 2006 at 13:01

What version you using ?

_Jimlad_ · 11 Jan 2006 at 13:08

to get your knife badge do you have to kill 7 men in one round with a knife? or just over the course of playing the game?

Lanz · 11 Jan 2006 at 13:10

KDR ratio means very little, SPM is a better judge better of improving performance.

I have the DG834G model and at some point my connection went down every hour. I upgraded to the latest and it fixed it. I had to do this twice since i own the router. I'm now running the latest which is 3.01.25 (has VPN support and Trend Micro security)

get ** firmware here: http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/DG834.asp

In a round

Yup, which even on a 64 player map is almost damn impossible (for me anyway)

Nieldo · 11 Jan 2006 at 14:33

Right, im currently Gunnery Sergeant and my next rank is Master Sergeant where I will get an unlock. I have special forces so will I get 1 or 2 unlocks when I reach this rank?

Just been on the 50player 50k server and got my basic pistol badge

now all I need is a knife badge and I will get First Sergeant instead of master sergeant

. Still, ive not touched commander screen yet so I dont suppose it matters.

I had fun with the special ops pistol doing proper stealth, hiding in the trees and picking them off

Great fun.

fullfat · 11 Jan 2006 at 15:00

heh, i did similar nieldo but i used the snipers pistol instead, i think theyre the same anyways.
the basic knife badge i thought was a bit tricky to get though.
im getting my mate to try sf now for you to see about the unlocks as he just made master sarg

/edit, no he got 2 unlocks when got promoted so it might have been included for SF there
