Re: How to stat pad without making it too obvious
Some accurate observations but erroneous conclusions. On item 1, players quickly learn how to use the BF2 server browser or web sites like bf2tracker.com to check a server to see which side is better and then wait for a spot to open up on the better team before joining. Others will simply switch from the losing team to the winning team during the round. Very rarely will server admins have anything to do with team balance.
On item 2, team swapping between rounds is optional. On our server, we've implemented something I've not seen elsewhere...teams are swapped using a "randomizing" feature where about half the teams change sides. It helps mix things up and helps keep one team from becoming too stacked.
On items 3, 4 and 5 that's strictly a function of higher-end computers. I often am one of the first to load into a map but I don't find base-raping uncappables or spawn points to be any fun. Unfortunately, there are players that flash their high K/D ratios and awards around to show how great they are but when you actually see them play you see that many of them use "cheap" tactics like these to prop up their stats. Best thing to do is just find another server to play on.

- The sides were not swapped for the second round of the map. OK the guys running the game can do exactly what they want but if they’ve racked up the points in the first round they can do it again in the second. As for us changing tactics, this was difficult based on the next three reasons. Also I didn’t want to leave the server as I wanted to play all of the SF maps and I wanted to see what the other side did next.
- The other team base-raped the SAS non-cap base on Warlord. They were on us suspiciously quickly with a tank and APC and then they arty’d the crap out of us.
- The other team spawn-camped the spawnpoint to the west of the SAS non-cap base in Night Flight. I think there are only two places that you spawn: at the top of a slope on one building, and behind a dumpster by the same building. Easy for another team to camp.
- The other team base-raped the submarine in Devil’s Perch. Again, suspiciously quickly, the other team were on us with an APC and several RIBs when we first spawned on the sub. So why not spawn at the spawnpoint on the east of the map? Well, because that was in enemy control when we first spawned on the map. Strange.
- We were crap… that includes me – just look at my stats. At least I can blame it on being a newb and my age - 40 years old. I’m sure it takes my brain several microseconds more to register that the person standing in front of me does not have a blue nickname hovering over his head
