    Playing for awards vs playing for the team...

    IMHO:

    I've read so many posts about people whinging about players only playing to get awards. Since when was playing for your awards and the team mutually exclusive?!

    As you can see from my stats below that i have a few awards to my name but I also play for the team 95% of rounds. And no the time played is not a cheat just a server glitch after 1.03 (typical!).

    Sure, i have afew rounds when I jihad to go for my explosives badge or play exclusively one weapon to get my badges ribbons etc, but rarely at the expense of good team play. So whats your problem?!!!!

    Of course, I'm mindful of making progress towards the awards eg spending a little longer in a tow to rack up time or going engy when the UAV or arty is blown but this is just part of a great game and adds enjoyment to playing just the same old kit hour after hour. Right?

    Yeah sure there are those who obviously dont care what the team is doing, but c'mon. Enough already!

    End.

        There must be something wrong with the stats server, doubt its possible to play for 3000 hours and only have 30000 points, thats 10 points an hour

            98% of people just play for points and awards, Karkand for example, no one strays from the first 2 flags...i always sneak around back and take 2 or 3 flags but no one ever spawns back there...

                But isn't playing for points and awards the point of the game (wait for flaming for this!). But I know what you mean about Karkand. I love it when the enemy camps at the hotal and back alleys, you go to the farthest base then take all flags up to the square and they lose before they even know what happened. hehehe. People can be so short sighted. Still more points for me. See teamwork and points can work together!!!!

                    mostly playing for awards is playing for your team, if you arent exploiting.

                    meaning , getting your healing bedge, you have to heal , good for your team.
                    getting your repair badge, you have to repair, good for your team
                    want your assault, medic, engi, ... badge, you have to kill, good for your team
                    getting AA, ground defence badge, you have to kill , good for your team,

                    etc... for the rest of the badges and ribbons

                    offcourse stuff like driving a jeep into the water, getting in the back and repairing it the whole round is going to give you a lot of repairing points and the badge but isn't good for your team, meaning this is exploiting en so crap

                      yep my point entirely. Its just the extreme exploits that are the trouble and add to cheats, hacks and extreme tking are general hates in bf2.

                        Sometimes its good playing for badges, sometimes its bad. Badges where you have to get 40 or so kills with a kit are good cos people have to play a really good game and it benefits the team alot. However badges like the explosives and airborne ones can be bad if people jihad or use the jets to crash into helicopters to score the kills. If EA got the game sorted out so people couldnt get suicide kills then all badges would help the team :)

                          Yeah true. I was gonna add this that when a player has one thing on his/her mind, say plane kills or jihading (so hate that term, but hey...) their sense of team strategy and general good sense go out of the window. The gridlock at Karkand hotel another. Everyone forgets there is more to the map than that bl**dy flag and they dont do anything about it coz they wont get the heals/kills by taking flgs. Taking the 3 or 4 free flags is the obvious thing to do, but noone does coz it'd jeopardize their precious score, special ability rate.

                          But hey, what are you gonna do????!!
