Earning points/medals & having fun - now there's a concept!!

Re: Earning points/medals & having fun - now there's a concept!!

I forgot to mention:-

Do you really need to hack/glitch/exploit?

To cut through all the BS and put my thoughts in a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is:-

Lets try to make BF2 the best online experience up to date and promote all the positive elements of the game (maybe this is rose-tinted glasses wishful thinking). The sooner people have less onus on the "point whoring at all costs mentality" the better the future for BF2, and new and old blood will actually stick around to give the game the boost it so badly deserves!!

I like to score highly (who doesn't), but I normally find that when I just concentrate on having fun and teamwork my score goes throught the roof anyway!!

I think.... Next time YOU will be in the winning team, raping the noobs, and then YOU will be happy because you get high score and kills!

Lol, just kidding. Yeah, I played a lot fun rounds, without this score sh*t, the teams are even, and everyone get really nice scores, except for the privates, you know.

I know there's a lot of abuse as regarding acquiring points and medals while playing BF2, and a LOT of people prefer to play unranked servers and mods to avoid point whores, but I still believe that a majority of medals and points can be had legitimately without resorting to lame tactics.

Do you really need to camp the alleyways at Karkand with PKM or armour to get those precious points?
Do you really need to resort to Macros just to boost your k/d ratio?
Do you really need to spam nades while camping behind a fence?
Do you really need to command while in tank/apc/helo/jet?
Do you really need to stack teams with either uneven amounts of players or all the higher ranking players on one team pounding the other team round after round?

Example:-
I nearly got a purple heart the other day because we had only one CP left and the other team were camping every spawn point of the CP and not bothering to cap the flag. I discovered that the other team were ALL higher ranking players and obviously knew all the spawn points like the back of their hands and were just raping us for points. They were adding insult to injury by insulting us with comments like "Put up a fight you noobs" and "You lot suck" etc. If I'd of been new to BF2 and suffered this humiliation I wouldn't bother to play anymore.

I'm pretty sure I'm not on my own when I say that BF2 is a fantastic game with lots of diversity and variety to satiate anyones addiction to FPS, but I think a LOT more can be done by all players to improve this game without waiting for the next patch to FIX everyones gripes.
What do you think?

Sometimes peace can only be bought about by WAR!!
