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

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

Lately on the 24/7 Daqing Oilfields server that I play on, I've noticed that the 'Higher ranked players' have a tendency to gravitate towards my team, which has the tendency to win round after round. This is so they can jet whore, or attack helicopter whore to their hearts content, while people like me are winning the match for them.

That pisses me off, and I can't help but feel sorry for the lower ranked players. As a result, I switch to the weak and damn near defenseless team, and help them win the next match.

The problem with that is... The higher ranked players start whining about something, and quit because they fail to realize that Daqing Oilfields can not be won by whoring. Daqing Oilfields isn't as popular as the urban maps, so it's hard to get a fully populated server. Especially with high ranking whiners who are used to having everything handed to them on a silver platter.

You actually have to CAP FLAGS IN THIS STAGE if you want ANY chance of winning. Hell, you could have a squad of 6 all with 50 kills each, and my team will STILL win if we hold all the flags.

.....just a "game" because I already know that, spawncamping is valid to me as long our team has captured all the bases thats what they deserve or we in case it happens to us for let the other team do it, I agree witht the lack

Not many will agree w/ me here, but I think it should be the other way around (attacking the enemy base). The carrier is a different situation though.

In other words, you should be able to hammer that base "until" all the flags are takin.

Just my opinion.

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

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.

LOL so TRUE,I liked to play tanks before and I played it always,now I am just MEC at Karkand and I pwn those camping noobs with my precious precious AK74

Points/awards are way to hyped in BF2. So many stat sigs, so many third party websites. So many awards u need for promotion.

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

To the OP: just switch server and if it is that bad then just keep your spawn screen up and get some food or something then when you return the round should have restarted. It's not fun when that happens really.

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

Yeah I know what you mean. I find my self more often then not coming in mid round and there is only one spawn point left and some noobs has both tanks and is camping the spawn. Why? Because he has a small pennis and the tank makes him feel like a big man. The reason it gets that way is cuz noob go command and have no clue what there doing. They don't issue orders to squads and drop arty in the middle of nowhere on one sniper. Or my personal favorite is: the commander flies the jet or chop and suck at it too. Then if their **** gets blown up, rather then dropping supply crates on it to fix it they just drop the command.

I think you'll find if you try to do some sneaking around you'll get out of those situation quite easily. I always seem to do.

I always find next round more interesting because all the noobs on your team went over the the winning side so there it auto balances the teams. And of course next round go command, So some noob doesn’t end up screwing the whole thing up.

Also it might be that your hitting clan severs. That would explain why there was a bunch of noobs camping one spawn all higher rank then you. Its not going to be a problem jurying the day but at night, oh yeah that’s a raping.
I personal feel that clan severs should be left to clan members.

I went back to playing BFV today, if you take away points people will play to win for their team . It just makes things a little more fun. I think I may switch over to unranked servers.

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

there are things i do in game that i usually get called a point whore for.

myself and my clanmates usually HALO onto carriers on any carrier map and M95/Eryx/C4/anti infantry rape, and i see this as totally acceptable because (1) the other team has a fighting chance to kill a few lone infantry guys (2) this is suppression of the teams most valuable assets there by helping our team inland have a advantage over the other team.

I also usually sit on the eastern street of karkand with a MG36/PKM/L96/M95 and fire at what ever moves because again, this shuts down a very useful avenue of flanking attack on my team. When im MEC on this map i usually place C4/claymores and/or camp that one small alleyway because that, again shuts down a main avenue of attack.

I also throw several grenades over walls to kill enemies, because how the hell else would you kill them? what do soldiers do in real life when they dont have a direct field of view to thier enemy? grenades are exactly for that instance, and players that have the ability to use the right click function accurately should be rewarded for thier action.

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

This is a game about war as in real war you will use any means, tactics or resources to get rid, kill or defeat your enemy and do not tell me is just a "game" because I already know that, spawncamping is valid to me as long our team has captured all the bases thats what they deserve or we in case it happens to us for let the other team do it, I agree witht the lack of teamwork because some rogue players rather rack up points than help their own team.

I hope that the point Uhores will disapear as soon as bf2142 gets out.
Then bf2 will be a much nicer place to be.

You can play nonranked any time you want...

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

I have to say I agree with BIG PiG on this, I was playing last night on a server and it was making me want to quit playing bf2 totally at one point. A host of Clanners were staying on the winning side constantly with the experienced players and raping the daylights out of the noobs etc. It went on for 3 rounds, I tried to help but the odds were just too verwhelming, base camping and the usual bad habits. In the end I switched to an infantry only server which was awesome, great team work on both sides and I stayed on there till 2am this morning!

Its just a shame that players just want to point whore instead of actualy enjoy the experience. Im only now starting to get in the 20 kill regions lately and its taken me a fair time to fine tune my tactics just to get to that point, the minute I go to a server and see 4 guys on 39 kills all on the same side Im out of there, theres just no parity.

The naive idealism of this thread is admirable.

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

It's annoying, but when a server is filled with people that don't teamwork or annoying brats that keep picking on eachother, I just go to another one. There are always places where you can find a nice squad and the other team isn't spawnraping.

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

Yeah, I guess you are right, the rounds I got high-scored are remembered as very fun ones, and vice versa.
But there isn't much we can do about it except for playing fair, and have fun of the actual game - not the score ( = tank whoring etc).
