    Questions!

    I've been playing BF2 since the demo and still don't understand some parts of this game and would like some answers so a few questions that have haunted me for awhile.

    You know when you enter a server and it throws you on the loosing team, which has like 1 ticket left, and then it says you loose. Does that count? If so, then that’s retarded. If not, then is there a time limit in which you have to be connected to a server before it actually records the stats?

    What if you leave a server mid-way, I would hope you still get your points... right? Well, what if you get kicked... or banned? You still keep your points, right? And also, does it count as a "Match Incomplete" or what? Because most people leave servers right before they are about to loose, to avoid a lose. But would that still be considered a lose or a Match Incomplete?

    After your whole freakin’ team has died and the other team has all the flags... there still remains that one jerk in the jet that keeps flying around in circles. You hit “C” and you watch him in 3rd person. But then that STUPID thing keeps popping up in your face every 3 seconds and you have to keep hitting “enter” for it to go away, only for it to reappear, again, and again. How do you stop this? If you can’t, EA should definitely fix this.

    Why is it that I was awarded the same Veteran Helicopter Badge three times in the same round? I suppose I met the requirements 3x then what it originally is?? If so… then I want 3 of them in my stats =) not just one. Kind of like the gold’s, silver’s, and bronze medals with that little number which tell you how many you’ve received. If you’re going to have a dumb glitch like that in the game and not fix it, at least incorporate somehow.

    I’m sure there are more in the back of my head but these are the ones that stick out to me the most, mainly the first two.

    Re: Questions!

    Your first question when you enter a server and it throws you on the loosing team, which has like 1 ticket left, and then it says you loose. Does that count? Yes as you have just join, or if you are on about when the game has just finished then I think it will not count against you. May be I am right or wrong but I am sure that I am correct

    I would hope you still get your points... right? Yes it will give you the points when you leave

    How do you stop this? You can't I have never herd that you can may be I am wrong

    I think that I have answered some of your questions.

      Well, I was playing last night and got a new kill streak of 58. I have a screenshot of me hitting 50. But my chopper then got rammed by a friendly jet. Then the admin of the server banned me. This was last night/early this morning. My stats updated (I think) but it still shows my kill streak at 40? The server was ranked and it usually doesn't take this long for stats to update. So I'm starting to worry that I didn't get my points =/ I was up to 102 when he banned me.

        LOL, I think you answered none :p . Anyways, I have often pondered the same questions that Chodda just asked. I am curious to know the awnsers. Something tells me we will never really know. I have a question to add.

        Why is it that when you 1st get on a plane and do your 1st bombing-run, you get 6 bombs, but then you can't get more than 2 more bombs?

          You can stop the spawn select screen from popping up every 3 seconds by closing it out with the X in the upper right corner.

          Yes joining the losing team with 1 min left will count as a loss. Same thing with joining the winning team with 1 ticket left, you get the win. But surprisingly, i've never heard of anyone complaining about that.

            If you join a game, but never spawn, I thought you will NOT get the loss...

              You do not get a win or a loss credited when you join a server if you dont spawn.
              If you did spawn with 1 ticket left, then yes, you get a loss.
              If you disconnect for any reason half way thru the map you get the win/loss that your team gets at the end.

                Sorry guys, i should have elaborated. Too me, you havent joined until you have spawned. I should have rephrased my previous statement.

                  Ah, I see now. But then what is Matches Incompleted? (as seen on bf2tracker.com)

                      I think it might be just the number of times I've left a server before it finished... and doesn't in fact mean anything at all.

                        I believe that is when the server crashes in the match, or never sends the the final stats in for whatever reason.

                          A- yes it counts as a lose

                          What if you leave a server mid-way, I would hope you still get your points... right?

                          A- right

                          Well, what if you get kicked... or banned?

                          A- i dont think that you keep your points

                          But then that STUPID thing keeps popping up in your face every 3 seconds and you have to keep hitting “enter” for it to go away,

                          A- yes press the little X on the top right

                          Why is it that I was awarded the same Veteran Helicopter Badge three times in the same round?

                          A- becuase bf2 makes mistakes

                          If you’re going to have a dumb glitch like that in the game and not fix it, at least incorporate somehow.

                          A- its ea

                          hope that helped

                            F*ckin A bro! This is one thing that really ****es me off. During a game i cant sort of understand this an encouragement players to choose their spawnpoint and not mess about. BUT when you are dead, with no spawn points and only a few remaining soldiers this ridiculous pop-up should be disabled. What is the point???
