Re: EA Crackdown

Re: EA Crackdown

Could have done with that earlier when a load of people didn't believe us.

Re: EA Crackdown

EA has no business getting involved with anything till they can fix the damn game in my opinion. The more you play BF2 the more apperent all of the flaws seem. Its sad that they did not learn after all the patches they had to make for BFV.

Secondly, all this ranked crap is gay to begin with. It amazes me how many people care about this ribbon/badge crap. BFV Tracks was a far better system. The only stat I care about is KDR, which is all about owning all the ribbon/badge loving fools.

Re: EA Crackdown

Ea have every reason to get involved with the game. They paid millions to develop it and they want a good return for their cash. If they let this game go to the dogs then they have lost the biggest money earning franchise they ever had. The scoring system needs to have rules, otherwise what is the point. I personally enjoy playing by the rules as it gives me a sense of achievment. I bought this game so ergo I wish to abide by it's boundarys. I wish to progress throught the ranks and earn my stripes and respect of my fellow gamers in an honest and decent fashion. I fully understand that any system can be exploited as has obviously happened in this instance with point farming. It is an exploit that I really hope EA can view as a problem and come up with workable solution. Ranked servers should be bullet proof and quite possibe opened out to a greater portion of the community to 'police'. As was mentioned earlier in one post about MMorpg's you do get some exploiting the system ( more predominatly in WoW, it's far too popular for it's own good) But they are also self policing. High ranking mambers keep control of ranked servers and quel any 'farming' and trouble making.

BF2 would benefit greatly from more comminity interaction rather than EA trying to sort it themselves all the time. Allow some responsibility to pass to the players themselves and those that care about the structure and intergrity of gaming. We have, after all, payed for the damn thing. But having said that, I have just given myself a problem. I was going to say about the voting system and how it should be more . . . . easy? Nay, accesable. More obvious? You see, I have thought myself into a problem for which I have no solution. In games such as Counter Strike for instance, the gaming area is enclosed enough for you to get to know Tk's or haxxors. You can get rid of them swiftly and easily. But in BF2, the gaming is so spreadout and frenetic I rarely pay any attention to others points or actions except on the odd occasion. In fact I have yet to find a server that I like and I feel there is a good community spirit.

I dunno, I am waffling now. I enjoy this game. I enjoy it's scope and it's gameplay. It annoys the hell out of me at times and I don't like (I was going to say cheats) exploiters of the system. But I am just one punter out of thousands and I have neither the voice or the expertise to do anything about it . . .

I'll shut up now.

Re: EA Crackdown

It seems to the ones against this stat reset thing are the guys with high scores that "dont stat pad" and the ones for it are the ones like me who play hard and seem to never, or very rarely be able to get a jet, chopper, tank etc. I think I might be averageing around 15 to 20 points a game on a good day. This crack down needs to be expanded however to more areas. A good example is the player who is commander and flys around in a jet and gets his awards by being credited for being anti- tank, assult, etc. without actually having more than a few minutes on the ground. I have been makeing a list of some of these guys and hunting them (I also like to hunt snipers) and killing them as much as possible, as they usually suck when caught on the ground. They are most easily caught at the jet or attack chopper spawns after someone rams them, you can tell you have one cause they whine a lot after the ram. I caught one (name removed) yesterday and killed him with my granade launcher in one shot, got called a noob and I laughed all day about it. My reply was " yes Im a noob and your dead". If this sargent (name removed) was that good with his 30 thousand plus points how could a noob kill him? .......Easily...LMAO

Re: EA Crackdown

Back on subject. All games have rules and sometimes the rules need to be tweeked to maintain the game creators Idea of how the game is supposed to work. So shut up and play inside the rules, whatever they may be and have fun. If you dont like them dont play. Yes the game has problems, maybe they will get fixed. Untill then we are stuck with it as it is. Oh and the knife and pistol thing on ranked servers I say why not, I feel it should be ok for basic badge, IMO.

[Funnylookingteddybear]

Re: EA Crackdown

Yes. That was what I was trying to say. Except for this Knife pistol thing of which I have no experiance so therefore no comment upon.

By buying the game I have subscribed to the game concept, therefore I play by the rules. The point being if you feel the need to 'pad' or 'farm' then I have to ask are you playing for the right reasons?

The game concept for BF2 is great. Fly choppers, drive tanks, be infantry, the scope is tremendous. I think more respect shouold be paid for those who develop the skills to play as a sniper or as a chopper pilot (as I am trying to be, when I get the chance) so long as your playing within the remit of teamplay. Of which this game is all about.

Everyone knows that a good squad can rock, beit that they are scattered in choppers, tanks and whotnot, but, they play as a team.

That is how I wanna play. To be honest my own point scoring is almost a side issue to the feelings I get when I succesfully play an active role as a squad member, or even as an intergral part of the army.

But this is an issue that will always dog games like this. It is grand in scope and grand in subscription. As a result you will always get the less saluberous game players who like nothing more than to cheat their way to the highest score. Not my way, but what can I do about it. I would love to be a part of a progressive clan or server team but alas, being a family man, my schedule does not allow me anything other than the random choice of playing whats available at the time.

Still, it's a good game for all this points business. So if you ever see Funnybear on a server you know he is a team player and that he rocks at choppers.

That and you don't wanna end up with one flag and getting raped for the rest of the round. That is just annoying. :laugh: You should try and play in a team bud, an actual Match is WAAAAY more intense and ALOT MORE FUN. The game takes on a whole new life. It's just ALOT of fun man really. Sounds like it's right up your alley the way you wanna play and enjoy playing is exactly what it's all about.

about time stat junkies got some harsh medicine!!

Re: EA Crackdown

I like the ranking and it's good that EA is taking the whole stat padding thing seriously. This kind of stance give ranking some value that would otherwise require a ranking and cash to ride public transport.
