Re: Officers ONLY!!

If you want to play matches against good competition where no-one accidentally tk's you with grenades (or at least very rarely), join a clan, and play clan matches.

Clan matches are FAST! Everyone knows what to do, and you're always playing against experienced players.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

lol if BF2 lasts another 5 years everyone will be Colonels because most people aren't the greatest at flying.-=RD=-Volx and {TA}FireStorm have the most points but aren't generals because they are missing their expert chopper and flight badges.

True but by the time the general ranks were added and dumbed down, those guys had already surpased the points needed to make general. Even if they got the badges now they would still be stuck at Colonel because of that.

I don't know why all the officers think they can own the lower ranks. I've seen a few people who are lower ranked than I and they are the best people I've ever seen. Poppin off perfect headshots while using trees and hills as perfect cover, its like a clinic. I've killed a few Colonels and higher in my enlisted time, most of them just have more time in the game and therefore are better. If I spent that much time playing I would own too. Take RD Volx for example. I've played with him on StrafeRight.com many times and he's the biggest prone spamming dolphin diving bunnyhopper I've seen in the history of BF2. He even spams the prone/crouch combos when he's not in combat, just in case. I've taken him out about 4 times out of about 400 chances, because the prone/crouch screws up the hitboxes, but he's played over 1500 hours as a support, so he must be getting pretty good at the kit. Lots of the higher ranks also get their promotions and O-club pass in a plane/tank, and don't have much skill with an actual weapon. Rank doesn't mean much in this game IMO, which makes me mad that some of the worst commanders keep getting the position because they have 2 stars.

Yeah I played against Volx a couple of times and I wasn't really all that impressed. You're right about many of the high ranking guys using vehicles as an easy ticket for points. I've made a point to balance out practially all of the small arms weapons and get at least 1,000 kills for all of them with the exception of the Shock Paddles and n00b t00b. It has nothing to do with ego, but a sense of knowing that I can use any weapon or kit depending on what the team needs most at any given situation.

Heck the best guys I've run into frown at the idea of using unlocks and have started new accounts posing as new players.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

Seems most of the time I play on a server higher ranks will usually dominate the rounds higher teamwork or combat score, sometimes both.
Rank equals time which produces better knowledge of the weapons, vehicles and terrain.

When I enter a round I look at the ranks on mine and the other teams. I use it as a first look at possible bonuses or difficulties to the sides.
90% of the time it pans out as I thought.

Im an average player, but ranks such as mine or higher allow me to guage "experience" and this is a beneficial boost to skill.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

I disagree, I haven't run into any Generals, Or Colonels that weren't "competitive"

I don't play on nub servers

Competitve?

I looked at your stats, you look like an average player. I started hanging around the DLOGIC 64server, you should try it out against thier team.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

Butcher, tell me something, does rank really reflect persons skill, or are there other kind of information? Tell me, does rank show how good a person is, or hwo good they are to find means to score as much as possible (ie. medics in Karkand, support in Karkand, tanks in Karkand, J10 on Wake, Su-34 on Oman et cetera). Im sure you want an increased constant and regular level of high skill in your server. Which is why I propose you create a non-ranked server with sign "High-skill" in its name. Moders probably has a wide base of regulars and Im sure that can be used as a base to populate the high-skill server?

Again though, Ive seen people exceed me in rank, in fact vast majority of people who exceed me in rank, suck balls. And Ive jusr recently started to become "good" on land with a 2.0 KDR. Well, as for jets... thats a solid story.

Then we have privates who can play better than some high rankers, weaon wielding wise, but they dont use "pointwhoring" tactics so they stay in the shadows. So you cant really separate people by their rank.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

ok i dont like this idea on the grounds that it excludes me....and also because it excludes alot of other poor saps who bought this game, recently or otherwise........i think all ppl who purchased their copy of BF2 deserve to use any and every ranked server........and if it were unranked.....then there wouldnt be any ranks, so no one would be able to tell the rank of a player, unless they are constantly alt-tabbing to bf2s or some similar site, or keep comparing in BFHQ

Re: Officers ONLY!!

I choose to state my "ingame rank" before my "ingame name", you choose to advertise all the parts in your PC

Which do you think ppl could not possibly care less about?:p

Lieutenant General |SI|SERIALBUTCHER

Well personally your rank. Because just because you are a high rank doesn't mean you are good. Just look at Volx: Good...at using macros and dolphin diving.

You know many people just get their points camping, using jets all the time, or using tanks. It's called "point farming."

As a follow up to my first statement, IMO I like to know whether someone is using ultra low settings so they can see me in the shadows, or that they are ultra high and they can't see me. It also IMO shows how much commitment you've put into BF2.

Re: Officers ONLY!!

The best players I see are of my own rank.

u guys are the bestest

Re: Officers ONLY!!

Here's an idea that I've been wanting to see and participate in for a while now. It would make for some very interesting (and presumably very intense) rounds. :)

Yeah, "Battle of the Titans" LOL:p

Both, I don't think anyone gives a rat's *** about either. But it's much easier to ignore mine.
