Stads-Padding???

[Galdigor]

Are Infantry only servers being treaded as Stads-padding???
it may look like a stupid question but if you start thinking...
-its all about kills = Points
-No more anti-tank class needed = Anti-infrantry [all other kits which makes its easier to get higher killing spreas (no more tanks ect. killin' you)
-some servers even make it a Team-deathmatch map example ;
Map Karkand, UMSC take hotel , MEC hold Square ; kill as much as possilbe = big points
- Easier 2 get Badges, if you need a expert badge (40/35 kills with a kit) you just have 2 kill people without being killed by art. or tanks apc's ect.

so what do you think????

Re: Stads-Padding???

read the ROE

http://www.bfroe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171

§1.8 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.

This would include but not limited to:
§ Knife-Pistol-Revive
§ Knife-Pistol only Servers
§ Knife only Servers
§ High Points Servers
§ Infantry only Servers
§ No Artillery or Armour Servers
§ Using Vehicles removed from battlefield for purposes of artificially inflating points
§ Turning boats upside down and repairing
§ Glitching inside buildings.
§ Modifying game files for vehicles and weapons.
§ Items not included in this list would be up to EA & DICE to interpret.

I dont really think Infantry only is stat padding , your just not using vehicles.Knife and pistol is really stat padding.

Re: Stads-Padding???

Yes, it's stats padding.

Read my post above.

Re: Stads-Padding???

It is certainly stat padding because you don't have to worry about the most deadly thing for an infantry on the BF, a vehicle.

Its the same as knife and pistol....your just not using other weapons in knife and pistol...

I really have the urge to call you retarded but I wont...

Re: Stads-Padding???

Its not stats padding. Its just a different game style. It should have been a server-side option to be infantry only from the begining. There are tons of servers out there running infantry only. Try it out. I bet you don't get uber scores. In fact I bet you get pwnt real hard liek.

When they introduce the new patch with the infantry only setting you will see tons of servers playing this 'mod'.

I played on an unranked infantry only server that had a great python script running: as soon as anyone entered a vehicle - it exploded.

Edit: I don't agree with the ROE on this issue. Also I don't see the ROE being enforced much in regards to Infantry Only or High Points servers.

well thats your view, however not everyone agree's, atm ROE is the rules of how each server should act any not will get reported and dealt with..

i'll be sending screenies of the infantry/high point servers when i see any :p (i worked hard to get my points everyone should do the same)

It doesn't matter whether or not you agree...according to the ROE, it IS stats padding.

And you can bet that the new 'infantry only' setting will not be allowed on ranked servers. Private servers only.

Just because the title of the server says it is infantry only, how can you prove that it actually IS an infantry only server, by just taking a screenshot of the server window?? there is always some smacktard who comes in and jumps in a tank/apc and after that the server just seems to go to a regular server within a few minutes anyways....

Re: Stads-Padding???

It doesn't matter..if you send in a screenshot of a server that has 'High Points' in the title, they will look into it. If there isn't any evidence that there is a problem, nothing will be done.

Harmless.

Re: Stads-Padding???

Hey its all good,.
But if you want inf- only or K&P only it should be UNRANKED!

Re: Stads-Padding???

now that theyve changed the requirements for alot of the badges is there any point of stat padding any more?NO.
not that i agree with stat padding or done it my self.
stat padders just take the hard work an self acheivments out of the game.
i for one dont see any point in reporting padders any more there are more important problems that need sorting out first like all the bugs an glitch's that came with 1.3 crap patch.

Re: Stads-Padding???

is 16 players on a 64 sized map "Stat Padding"?

The proof will be in the pudding. I think it will be a ranked option.
