Re: Sigh, got promoted.

Can someone tell me the importance of W/L ratio? I play on random pubbers, I usually take whatever side I log into, and try my best, but it is near enough at 1.0 after 500 hours or so. Is it possible to influence your win/loss soley on your personal actions? I just have my doubts, is there any other way to improve this other than team stacking, or even team switching?
To the OP, I have 300 points to go until I have to give up the Seargent Major rank, I know how you feel, not really looking forward to it!

Of course 1 man can save the round for his team

example: Your on mec in Karkand, it is a close game, you "hold up" a small squad from taking the factory long enough for help to arrive, you saved the armor spawn, & the game:p

People pay attention, however I actually get more crap than respect... Some immediately start with the stat padding accusations, name calling about the amount of hours, others feel the need to complain about rank on one side, some feel the need to proclaim their greatness when they have killed me, some have looked up my stats mid round to say how much better their stats are, etc. Then again, it's not a lot different than the forums.

It's rare that someone actually says anything positive in the chat. It's interesting what a few stars will do...

Exactly, I wish that you could like IRL, remove your rank ingame sometimes, it just makes you a "high value target", but I understand, I like killin' generals as much as the next man

I have been a bit' of a armor whore, & have been really been putting in time on the ground lately, I was on PLA (China) on wake, we were beaten in to 1 flag, & were getting raped by arty, jets, tanks, & choppers, which gave infantry an advantage

I had like 8 kills, & 12 deaths in the middle of the round when I killed this "inlisted" guy

Conversation went like this

He said, "You suck, you must have stat padded to get your rank"
I said, "Your just mad because I killed you"
He said, "I could kill you, you have 12 deaths, you suck"
I said, "If 12 deaths means I suck, what does my 90,000+ kills mean?"
He said, "You suck, you don't deserve your rank"

The next round I got into a J-10, shot down all their F-35's, & bombed them back to the stone age, I wa like 35-3 k/d:)

I then asked him, "Are we happy now?"
moral of the story

We need to be careful who we "dis'" when they are working on a particular weapon k/d, or trying to get a badge, & we think that we "pwn" them, you may not like the outcome

Reminds me of when I was trying to get my AT Specialist Expert Badge in Warlord w/ the PP-19, dudes would say, "the 3-star sucks", but when i xould see I wsn't going to get my badge that round, I woulf grab the RPK-74, or G3, & "set things right" LOL

With all the stat padding .. I really don't put much weight into the rank or badges held by a BF2 player.

It's looking deep down into the stats that tells you the most.

Even when you "look deep down" into some 1's stats, it doesn't show you how much they have improved over time

Now that I am a general, I have to kill 2-to-1 w/ the same weapon all day, or 2 days in a row for a weapon stat to go up .01

The only way to know how good some 1 is, is to play w/ them, or against them

Also, unselfish, win oriented team players will often be much better than their stats would suggest because they put their team, & the win first

imho

well rank counts to me! :) i help the team win by getting massively large kill amounts therefore helping out the team a lot. ( no i don't armor whore, i support whore)

I can "bear witness" that jimmy is "annoyingly" good with the support kit LOL

Surely the utterly baffled noob privates are the more likely to accidentally TK you, given they haven't a clue what's going on? Whereas those of a high-rank tend to be more experienced and as such premeditated TKs for assets would be more likely to happen than accidental TKs?

I think you're being a bit nonsensically deferential. They don't really eat breakfast in full Horatio Nelson garb y'know.

I think what he was trying to say was that when a "high rank" accidentally tk's you it is more likely to be a reasonable error, such as you were between him, & the enemy, or you both had the enemy in a crossfire, & were shoothing toward each other

What I don't see from "high ranks" is when you get "fragged" by a friendly, & there is NO ENEMY IN THE AREA :hmm: WTF

so let me get this straight, you had a self-proclaimed "infantry advantage" and still couldn't achieve a 1:1 k/d ratio...someone calls you on your "skillz"...you hop in a J-10 to "set the record straight" that you're really not a stat-padder and l337 in all your glory?

I say: irony wrapped in irony
but, tbh, isn't much differnt from the OP of the thread so I can't knock too hard...
