Has the ranking system as you have slowly progressed through it, fostered a growth in you "Elitist" tendancies.

For Example.

Not allowing low ranks into vehicles with you
Spamming global chat whinging at users of nade spam and G36 usage
Believing that any shot from a lower ranked player to be a "Bullshit"
Locking your squad with 2 people in it to keep "noobs" out.

Have you ever done this?

and

Do you believe it to be the same across other games, or is it just specific to BF2?

If people do that...they are gay.

If they look up to people on a video game.....they need help.

I don't do the majority of those things but i do confess that trying to fly an attack chopper with a gunner who blows or gunning with a horrible pilot sucks. Nothing is worse than setting someone up for a perfect tv shot only to have them use their guns. I will complain about spawnkillers or commander hacking but i don't bitch when someone gets a legit shot on me

genius_man16: Platinum Star whore; +365|6958|Middle of nowhere

i null voted, because i do do that sometimes like i hate when Gunney Sergeants or lower get in a tank, because i have yet to come across one that is any good, but other than that, i don't care what rank anyone is

I consider myself still pretty new to the game and whenever i kill a general or colonel or watever the frig they are they call me a n00b or haxor, so i follow them around for a bit if i happen to spot them and knife em! then call them a n00b and others that are playing in the server type in stuff like "pwned" and lagh at the high ranking foo!

I'm nice unless I'm one kill away from my award & someone prevents it with a noob move. I can't tell you how many times I've been close to the helo ribbon, it's made me sick.

The fact remains that I'm still a staff sergeant and after about 4 month's play, I dropped BF2 for mods like PR. So no, I'm not elitist and being a really bad player allows me to tk and get away with it.

Just kidding.

That's me on Ventrillo after every death: "BULLSHIT!" "WHAT THE FUCK" "LAG!" "FUCKING CLAYMORES" "FUCKING GRENADES!" etc.

T.Pike: 99 Problems . . .; +187|6562|Pennsyltucky

I try to be nice to everybody.

Although lately I've been seeing a lot more NEW players on the server I play on.

How do I know they're new? They'll spawn on me (SL) then rather than seek cover they'll just stand there and try to engage the enemy rather than seek cover.

Personally, when I spawn on a SL the first thing I do is try to get under cover and assess where we are & what's going on.

I felt so bad for one dude, he spawned on me 3 X in a row & got killed because I was behind cover and he was in the middle of the street. After the 3rd time he spawned somewhere else.

no, especially because I currently play with my sergeant account and always finish in the top three. Rank =/= skill

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

No... I made an account one day that was purely for going into k/p servers and owning them with real guns. The point of the story is... most of the people in those servers are really high rank... Like above 2nd Lieutenant.

Noobs still piss me off sometimes.

To be honest, that cute little symbol next to your name doesn't mean shit to me. Instead I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity slayer.

No. Im nice to all kinds of people.	61%	61% - 96
Yes." Get the fuck out of my chopper...noob"	38%	38% - 59
Total: 155
