BF2S Forums Stats and BF2

i think the stats still play a big role in BF2 not just for the padders but just also for me and those other guys out there who have had BF2 .... bought BF2 because they ...like me had ALLREADy BF1942 BFV in their PC gaming collection ... bla bla

I like the ranking system (im a Captain soon to be Major * ) i Cant even remember 1st stats before the 1st patch ?? I started in 2005 BF2 HooAH!! yeah stats ... no no im saying it wrong ... heard of the word stats when i came HERE !! D'oh! anyway ... it was a suprise in the beginning to earn things IAR ...now we can look and se what we need to do for a medal or ribbon etc . you can see now that you have achieved something IAR ...
Set GOALS ! GAME ON !! Read up and start earning those shiny pieces of glory!UBAR said so ;)the Internet !! ... provided us with more and more info about games and how to play it fair and UNFAIR (i never played UNFAIR ) Cheat , exploit the game etc . combine that with an award system in bf2 ....D'oh!
I like combining the gameplay with winning awards ,getting promoted ,hook up a squad or create one myself or be Commander to be of some use for the Team , I do lookup my stats to see how many hours i need for some medals or ribbons etc. Hey what the Heck its based on militairy shit !!! they get promoted , earn medals ... thats probably what DICE had in mind when they created BF2 and gave people the change to create websites for them to keep track of their stats (like splatter-ladder for RTCW and ET )
Battlefield 2 is a game , so in a game there is always competition and we all like to win something dont we ?
"We like FPS and we liked singleplayer mode but we wanted more we wanted to play with our buddies and other game freaks like us "YEAH ONLINE ... have fun !! YEAH ......................... 12 year olds !!! go PLAY WITH ... LEGO !!! you freaks !!! and dont come to the MOD section !!!! (didnt mean that )

if you like to discuss my stats >>> http://bf2s.com/player/45269857/ 2 Years been doing this shit

Welcome to duty ! goodgame Ya all

I'm all up for getting awards and stuff, but all this detailed stat-keeping is doing 2 things.

1.  Slowing down servers (think of it, every shot fired from every player is being stored as a hit/miss for the entire round, kit specific, vehicle specific, not to mention all the deaths/resupplies/ etcetera)

2.  People thinking that they are better than the next player because they can go 70-0 flying a jet having a k/d ratio of say 30+  comparing themselves to an Infantry player who doesn't play IO, having a k/d of around 4-ish.

I love the idea of ranking up, giving different (not always better) guns to choose, but the depth that it goes into is just nuts.  I could care less how many kills someone got with a pistol.  I don't give a dam about you're K/D.  You can have the best K/D ratio in the game, but that doesn't mean you're invulnerable.  That doesn't give you any edge on the competition.

nice post mate +1

Yes, stats ruin BF2... and here is why:

People are too focused on one thing, points. If there wasn't a point system then people would simply be playing BF2 for "fun" .... whatever that means. Whatever happened to the old FPS days where you just loaded up and joined a server to pub... since BF2 came out people load up because they want to make their next rank....

Now, since people want their next rank or award... they stat pad those points so they can achieve such goals. The only reason people stat pad and "kidnap" people is to take advantage of the point system.

Can anyone think of any other game that has "stat padders" ?? I can't. BF2 is the only game that I can think of one.

Since stat padding is such a problem EA then has to patrol around and take action against these padders. So it creates worthless jobs... if there weren't any stats then obviously we would have this problem.

With having to reset people off their backs then they would have more time to focus on maybe.. making BETTER patches ? ? orrr banning HACkers ?

It's so easy to see that because of a stats system... all these other problems simply domino effect off of it.

Yeah, Bf2's prequel, Bf 1942, didn't have a ranking system or stats and my dad and I still played for hours at a time. But Stats are what keeps me going on BF2, being able to brag and compare with my friends from school and be able to win commander elections . I think they should come out with another Xpack that ties in with normal Bf2 that comes with even more weapon unlocks. I want to have a better reason to play. Getting a new gun keeps me playing with a point. Also, badges and awards are fun to get too. In fact, I need 2 more hours as Assault to get the Expert badge. Why am I not playing now? That's the question everybody asks themselves. "Why am I not playing now? I'm so close to my new rank/award/unlock. Better start playing." I like the ranking system.

Your complaining about stats yet you have made a new account with a 5k/d ratio which obviously means you do care about stats if you have played medic 8 hours and another kits not even one hour, hipocricy is fun isn't it?
