Re: Potential new stat padders

it will...the flag cap will only go very fast if the people in the vehicle exit it....if they are all in the car or helo the cap speed will only go as fast as 1 person was there....and i dont think you can repair while airborn

And your proof from EA of this????????? Since last I knew it was all rumors as usual....

Exploiting weaknesses in the game to boost your statistics.
Generally shunned and frowned upon by the community.

Isen't that what war is about, not that I want to be a padder, but when you fight a war you exploit the enemy weekness to win right?
I have been in games of BFII where the enemy had a definate air advantage because of a good fighter pilot that could bomb the **** out of you if you dared enter a vehicle, is that padding? or a slick pilot that is damm good capping flags and taking you out time after time, is that padding? that is war and war is not fair, I think some people wine too much about being fair, if you want realisem, war is not fair.

Not when those weaknesses aren't even supposed to exist, no.
Using the noobtube to kill because it's easier to score kills = legitimate tactic even though it may infuriate some players and cause them to brandish them "skilless noobs". In real war you wouldn't say to the enemy "zomg that's unfair!!1" would you?
However, medic exploiting/ stat 'paddling' hacks, cheats or whatever else is not a legitimate tactic.

If something that is supposed to be a part of the game environment is being used to full effect then fine, if something that gives you an unfair advantage and/or is not intended to be a part of the game environment then no.

Cheating is bad yes, but I'm talking about the fact that some players are better than others and that's life, and if you have better tactics(not cheating) then great you deserve victory!.

I´ve done 314 points in a round in mashtuur with my Blackhawk totally legit.

it was a 64 map / 300 tickets with only 20 ppl on it.

Ditto, 481 Mashtur, 64player, only 13 people on it...

player count matters alot on these high scores people. Just because you haven't done it, or don't know how to do it...doesn't make it illegal padding.

Padding it is...but within the realm of the way they made the game. Not our fault.

I seem to remember a boast from EA about how many thousands of man-hours were spent testing the game...and in not one single of those hours did these guys see the BH as a potential point gathering problem? Tough ****.

**** off you whiners.

he could have been commander. commanders get points based on the points the team gets. i think for every 8 points the team earns the commander gets 1.
i dont think commanders get teammwoek points anyway...so he couldent be commander

Just look in the bottom left of the screen. It clearly says that he is commander. I do believe you get teamwork points if you resupply or heal with a supply drop. Could be wrong on that, I dont play commander.

As for whats happening, well just read what everyone else said. Its a cheap tactic, but its not illegal. The only way it would be illegal is if they forced people to not kill others (like some of the pistol/knife servers didnt allow flag captures). Doing that would be a violation of the rules. I personally think that tactics like that are cheap and should be taken care of. I love going on those servers and trying to take down the copters. Done it a couple of times when the engineer didnt repair the BH fast enough. Boy were they ****ed. I end up with the highest total kills in those rounds usually, but far from the highest total points.
