Idea: Servers based on skill level or other criteria

[Boojie]

So I'm sitting on the throne taking care of business and an idea came to me: what if you weren't allowed into a server because you're "too good"? What if we had servers that had different entrance criteria?

This doesn't change the engine. It only changes where you can join in. It makes it more competitive. Now, it would be tough to earn those 200 points a round when you're up against guys who can actually fight.

A case against this would be from those that enjoy roadkill. Publically, they'll say they hate the noobs...but deep down they love them for the points they get from them. The noobs hate the helos...unless they were in a room where only noobs were flying those helos. It evens things out.

I dunno...Just a thought.

Other related ideas:

-you need to be a decent [class] to join
-you need a certain amount of teamwork points to join
-you need a certain amount of flag capturing points to join

etc..

Obviously, different servers would implement different criteria.

In addition to that, maybe we could see (if we currently can't) how many kills are against those in the least position to defend themselves (ie. noobs).

Was Mike Tyson a great boxer? Sure...he fought big, strong, skilled boxers. If he had fought little girls, would he have the same amount of respect?

I submit that a lot of the respect people here crave, by virtue of their stats, is lost in the reality that they are playing against people who are not in the same league as them and/or due to soon to be corrected flaws in the game.

Thoughts?

Not to mention then people would complian because it would take even longer to find and join a server.

I enjoy it on some games like the socom series but I wouldn't like it in this game. The better people in this game tend to do those tricks in the games that are not meant to be used and a game would become very horrific if it was like that.

I think not. Mainly for this reason. WHen the noobs want to get beter. How are they gona get better playing agenst other noobs? They are only going to get better if they play better people that know how to play.

My To cents. Not much but its something.

I agree. Good idea.

Also. A graphic server would be cool. Those shadows make all the difference. Would be nice to up the graphics and be on a level playing field.
I mean wots the point of hiding in shadows, if others aint even got shadows on. Kinda makes shadows a waste of time.

We all know Mike Tyson fought big strong boxers, not little girls. However, people wouldn't know you are fighting on servers with expert players, so you wouldn't earn more respect. You'd earn less because your stats wouldn't be as good. Not really sure if you adressed this point (besides it being late here, the turkey is kicking in).

But then it's not fair because skilled players wont earn the points and ranks they deserve.

Bingo. The ranking system as it is has no showing of skill, only a guage of how much time you play. Unless they introduce something like BFTracks, this idea won't work at all if based on global score alone.
