    stat padding??

    ok.. used the search forum.. mostly ppl just talking about pad servers or getting padded..

    I can guess that Stat Padding means killing an enemy, getting your buddy to revive him, and killing him again and again before he can move.

    If this was the case, wouldn't you see a guy that has 200 kills, and another guy on the opposite team have 200 deaths?

    I read a post in which a guy got canned for padding.. he had 255 kils.. but on the screenshot, no one else had that no where near as many deaths.

    So what exactly is Stat Padding?

    Also What is "glitching"

    thx

    *NOTE*
    I did use the search button.

    Re: stat padding??

    when you get revived you dont get a death

    there are plenty of ways to stat pad, but that is the most common

    there are different ways of gltiching but the main one is getting inside of a building which your not supposed to be able to

    you can then shoot out and kill anyone outside the building and are literally invincible

      stat padding does not involve just killing and reviving. It really means unfair gain of points outside of how the game was meant to be played aside from glitching and hacking.

      For example fliping over a boat and constantly reparing it is stat padding.

        I always end up helping someone stat pad on a vehicle server. Your stood there waiting for a chopper or jet and some supply guy throws you packs. Can't help but constantly launch nades everywhere. So what for nade accuarcy =p

              The servers that are dedicated to "padding" are also quite easily found, btw.

                get the F2000 unlock and throw flash bangs around. Thats more fun and no accuarcy is hurt in the process... Nothing better than flashing the guy(s) that just got owned in what ever vehicle your waiting for so you got a better chance of getting in :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                  padding servers.



                  people gaining scores unrealistically because they statz are their life, no idea how that can be fun for people, if i wanted to statpad i would use the G36e on I/O sharqi, nothing is easier.

                    report them, why not send those screenshots to EA, those peep are cheeting us all i think. I see generals & high ranks & wonder if there padd'ers or really good players or both.

                      How so? They don't really do anything to impede your fun experience. They (for the most part) have their own servers. And any padder with at least a little common sense would not try to pad on a regular server; either they would quickly be kicked or SS and reported or both.

                      The only thing I can think of hindering ones fun would be if you really wanted to be commander and someone with padded stats(and higher rank obviously) kept taking it. But thats most likely a rarity.

                      Another disparity would be the undermining of the whole stats systems. But the way its set up--who cares! Just worry about your stats and other legit friends of yours if comparing is your thing.

                      If people want to pad in isolation, let them; I guess they find it fun. And reporting these padding servers is impotent at best. Reasoning, EA gets a cut from ranked server providers. So shutting down these servers is not really fiscally responsible. And even if they do shut them down, the same people can be up and running on a different instance within a day, maybe less.

                      The people we need to worry about, that accually do mess up fun and gameplay, are the people who write illegal scripts---ala hackers. And the people who buy and use them.

                        YOur very right in a lot of ways, but i do think it is cheating all us who try to play this game fair, its cheeting no matter if its with a hack, or a couple of buddies padding, still cheating.

                        lets have some integrity & report their sorry butts, i honestly am not a stat fanatic, u can see by my deaths, i go for the team win, not to stay alive, i will go take a flag knowing im gonna die, or repair something knowing im gonna get blasted, but some peep do think alot of stats & these padders no different than script writer's IMO.

                          I'd advise you to report them. They may as well be hacking too.

                            What do you need h4x for in a padding server? they all stay there in three man squads, kill and revive, kill and revive, nothing else, all the time; admins ban anybody who doesn't pad.
