      You have bought the game yeah, but then you're also using a service (as a player joining a ranked server), subscription free, that is hosted by EA (the stats collecting servers). The stat's have to be equally gained by all players otherwise they mean absolutely nothing, which puts into doubt everybodys global scores whether they've cheated/exploited or not.

      You still have the unranked servers to play all these mini-mod's on though. Also just think, unless EA sort out a "unofficial" stat's gathering system ("soon/never"), all the fantastic mod's that will soon be coming out are unranked. You gonna cry then too?
      IF EA RUNS THE SERVER THEY CAN DO WHAT EVER BUT IF I RUN THE SERVER IT'S MY MONEY MY SERVER MY RULES WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND????

            No, the money that we pay for the servers goes towards the stat servers...

              I think {RR}Kohbo put it the best way, when comparing it to the MMORPG worlds.
              If you allow this sort of behaviour you devalue the points system all together, further lessening interest in the game all together.
              The reason these MMORP games are successfull are because to the players the points, ranks, whatever actually mean something - if they did'nt there'd be no interest in getting them and no interest in the game.

              If you had people running around in a MMORPG doing what ever they pleased in what ever fashion, getting points and experience in 'un sportsman like manner'(or what ever these MMORPG do to grow in rank) then the game would just die because the time spent getting your experience and points would be devalued by the idiots that get it the easy way. Someone that worked hard to get their rank etc. would just feel cheated and loose interest in the game.
              I bet WoW is just as tightly policed and this is why they have such a large community. They have to play by the rules, so that getting their points are actually worth something.

              And 'no', if you run around doing what ever you like (just because you spent money on the game) because you are destroying the fun of people who are abbiding by the rules.... and they, funnily enough also spent their money on the game.
              You have freedom to do what you like, as long as it does'nt infringe on other peoples freedoms.

              For those who want to play special rules (knife and handgun etc.) why is it an issue, playing on a non-ranked server then? No one cares about that and you would'nt be anoying the players that got their stats 'the legal' way.
              Knock yourselve's out healing and killing each other forcing people to kill each other with nothing but a fork... oh wait... not as fun anymore is it, when you're not pi**ing off other players...

              Allowing the sort of behaviour that EA is now prohibiting, would result in a quick demise of the game IMHO as the stats would mean bugger all... anyone with high stats (etc.) would just be passed off as a points farmer.
              So the guy with the high stats who got them 'legally' is pi**ed off because his hard earned points now mean jack... and why bother getting them in the first place, if you could just go onto a random server and farm them the easy way.

              If that happens, what's the point in all the zillions of stat sigs, stats sites and weapons unlocks etc. which are partially a reason for this large community? (you see? It would render a whole portion of the game useless)
              Sure you might not personally care at all for stats... but then go play on un-ranked servers, and do what the heck you want to - point solved.

              EA will never totally be able to police this, granted, but it's better than them doing F'all about the matter.
              (On a side note, I reckon all the un-ranked servers should be able to have all weapons unlocked [is this actually the case? I don't know])

                umm I don't play MMORPG but I am %100 sure that there are players who use lope holes to gain level and from what I hear in WOW it doesn't take 2 years to get to level 60 and also this is a FPS game which is way different from all of those MMORPG...... If you have BF2 go to leaderboard and look at the first guy 100000+ global score the best teamwork 70000+ and his over all is 80000+ that's point farming I didn't point farm untill last week and I no longer do it but I still want to catch up to those guys whenever all of those guys stats gets back to zero I will stop arguing against this...

                    Gee...I never would have guessed you were a point farmer...

                    Thanks for the admission. Don't cry when your stats are reset.

                      Its ok if you were to play in single player, but not when it affects a community.

                          What are you talking about as soon as I read this post I stoped doing it..... That's why I am here and fighting against it so then it wont be "illegal". For them to be able to "reset" my stats first they have to catch me in the act since I don't do it no more I don't think it's possible for them to reset my stats

                            I'm glad. Hopefully that puts an end to these pistols/knifes only ranked servers. I'm sure they're fun but you can do that on unranked servers.

                            You all knew there were rules that went with ranked servers.
