bf2

i think i need to play around with my config file as i see dust flying off players as i shoot them, so i change a few settings and its better however at short range it happens more, cant really win :(
 
You can't really use Xfire stats as valid data for determining popularity as it's not reliable as it depends on who uses Xfire. I certainly don't.

Stat padders are weak players who have No skill at all

I don't agree with this because some stat padders do it just to annoy other people to see their reactions and some just see it as an easy route to a badge, but that doesn't mean other times they can't fight well.

Also the comment about bunny hopping, this still happens, I still do it and see many other people doing it and even though dice have tried to stop it, they have failed.

I personally just like kicking stat padders from our server just before the round hits 0 so they don't keep awards etc :p

Sheer class and well worth a quote.
Can i say Thank you for any kicking of padders you have or may do in the future.

As far as people playing a game just to annoy people well that is pretty sad don't you think ?
Fortunetly these days there is an overall attitude on BF2 of good play. People want to not only play BF2 but they want to be recognised as Good players.
I think this is filtering down to the majority at last.

As you don't play it anymore i find it hard to read any worthwhile content in your post.
The facts are that BF2 is Better than ever and much more fun than in the early days.
All the casuals have moved on to there latest craze and the skill level has risen dramatically. The patches have removed some of the more dodgey tactics in the game leaving us with imo the Best online game ever released.
Of course if you like bunny hopping and Dophin diving and slinging C4 randomly over walls then of course you will not like it anymore.

Nowadays infantry only servers are Superb. 32v32 BF2 battles cannot be beaten.
It is also worth pointing out that xfire figures clearly show that BF2 is just as popular as ever. It also clearly shows that 2142 is Not.

As for realism you are right BF2 has Never been about realism. It is about Major online battles between friends using familiar weaponry. It is called a game not a Sim after all.

You obviously did not read my post, the patches implimented were argued to make it more realistic like 'in real life you would not bunny hop or jump and shoot' ect.

I still have the game on my pc but it is far too easy I do not know how you can say it has become more skilled??? I haveseen bf2 players on others games and they suck, I normally play quake 4, fear combat and playing the slow pace of bf2 is easy, I play bf2 occasionally now just to chill out its that easy!

mine and my brothers accounts are deaderror and deadkomodo
 
No such thing as those accounts...

Anyway BF2 does take skill, just because you see the usual point whores such as 3RD*NAME, facialclamax-uk, rd volx the whole top 10 etc. These are all pretty much noobs basically all of their kills from vehicle whoring. You can be skilled in the chopper but really using the J10 to bomb the carrier over and over isn't skill and using the MEC chopper to rape the TV station over and over isn't skill either. Thats what your judging on.

Then you have those who are skilled with weapons. I can name lots of people who are, hell you can have people with negative k/d ratios but are still skilled at capping flags and what not. But it does take skill to play properly, a k/d ratio doesn't show if theirs skill or not, they can have 100% of their kills in j10 whoring.

BF2 isn't the only game I play though, I play games like Soldier of fortune 2, COD 2 , wolf ET etc. Quake 4 is alright I was good at it btw, just found it a little repetative with the constant jumping and 100's of rockets being fired. BF2 is not slow its a team game.

Which is why BF2142 is the better game, more balanced, and more skill needed.
 
cant you just suicied so they cant res you back ?

its true about volx, hes a crap infantry player, he came onto are -BFB- 2142 server and within 3 mins i had his tags lol he then left :D i even got a screeny. he got pwnd by lots of noobs aswell.

sry buddy its been a while, I have not have brackets in any games in ages, plus if I just searched deadkomodo in google I would appear at the top :p
 
now this is something i have to agree with, BF2 is by far the easiest game to simply pick up , play and master
dont get me wrong thats a good thing as new players are not discouraged, they might get spawn raped etc, but that can be avoided
new players to Quake or CSS will get killed far too easy over and over and probably quit it for good..

anyone who played the tribes series of games will understand what true skill is and no doubt find BF2 and 2142 easy, which i do :)

Someone else will have to help me out here as i don't know what you are on about. Either that or it is just easier to be dismissive towards someone who slates something for what seems like no reason.
Also why did you post your brothers stats ? Is yours the 30k one and you need a boost or are you the over 100k one so has obviously played the game loads.
As far as people getting pwned, we all get pwned at one time or other. I have some shocking rounds sometimes, either someone rings me and i try to chat on the phone and play or my dog wants to go out for a wee in the middle of a round or i am just bang off form and cannot hit a barn door with a shovel. Only yesterday i had a round where i just couldn't kill anything. Next round i got bronze and i was firing again but you cannot judge anyone on one single round.
As for BF2 being easy all i can say is the only time it is easy is when you are on the admin/clan side and they are taking advantage of a less organised side.
As for stats they mean nothing and can be manipulated and yours are not that impressive are they, whether it's the 100k or 30 k you will find quite a few players on these boards with much better stats.
 
I think the introduction of stats was a bad idea, it makes the majority of players focus on personal stats and kill/death ratios rather than actually playing for fun. Although I prefer BF2’s style of play and modern setting to BF1942 I much prefer that fact that 42 does not have any sort of stats or ranking system, people just come on and play not worrying that they have died a few times and that there kill/death ratio or whatever is going to go down.

Have you any idea how elitest and up your self that comment makes you sound? Granted BF2 is fairly easy to pick up and play, noob friendly you might say, it takes time to become a well rounded and good player. The same can be said about any game really. CS 1.6 and CS:S for example. ]

Just because you have spent a long time playing a particular game does not give you the right to try and put down others by implying BF2 takes no skill. In my opinion BF2 does take skill to play well, and using tribes as an example of a true skill game doesn’t really cut it. Try CS 1.6 maybe?

This man speaks the truth.

I played BF2 to death in the small time I bought it till BF2142 came out. Yes BF2142 seemed all new and exciting at 1st, but I can begin to see through it, dont get me wrong BF2142 is a great game but now Im still wanting to run down the alleys of Karkand in an infantry only battle. BF2142 seems like a big addon to me.

thank you for being soooo gulible , its not often someone falls for it on here

let me explain, i play BF2 and i love it, i also play many other games but alas not competatively anymore
ive been there, seen it , done it etc, ran a few clans, owned a few servers from BF1942 to CSS and Tribes blah blah*owned as in paid/rented*
i therefore can comment on the above games with some degree of experience which you can choose to ignore
also, your implying that i have stated all BF2 players have no skill , wrong wrong wrong i agree there might be a few good players out there ;)
lastly, tribes does require more skill and teamwork than any other fps

I posted mine and my brothers account (which we have both contributed to get various awards dependent on our strengths, he is more stategic and I am more reflex) )to show you I do know what I am talking about and have played the game many hundreds of hours, not to brag about stats?! My whole argument was that the stats system was bad.

BF2 is an easy game... period (is your arguement that it is a hard game???). The fact that I happened to play with a few of my mates on 64 man servers is not us taking advantage of a disorganised side :rolleyes: and I have never been admin either.

My arguements have been, the stats system encouages stat padding (instead of playing for the fun of the game) and the restriction of movement renders everyone to the same skill level.

I have no argument :confused: I have an Opinion.
In my opinion BF2 is the best online game ever. I like the fact that anyone can kill anyone and don't like vet players steaming about pwning new guys.
Only last night i went mental because the team i was on was invading a red circle area. I am Not looking for an easy game or for stats i am looking for an all out war game where mobs of guys steam about shooting the bejesus out of everything.
The one reason i have played solo for over 1300 hours is because i like a Battle Not a one side clan server whitewash.

As for the stats i like them and many others do aswell and i believe it's the stats that have kept the game going at the rate it is. Those honest players like me have just played the game and picked them up as and when earned.
The spirit of the game remains throughout all the patches and still remains a year later.
I have a feeling you expect to pwn everyone at every time you play and that is what is bothering you. Well i don't mind being killed by a complete noob at all. I may hunt him down for a revenge kill but the banter had whilst i play is all light hearted and fun.
Personally i like to Big up the things i enjoy and spread the love.
Negative karma is Not cool.
