BF2S Forums Do all the top players play only city maps?

Maybe that's why they are at top.  EA's ranking sys is based on accumlated global score.  Whoever has the most quantity of global score is on top, not necessarily the most skill.  If you are looking for something more realistic check out

http://www.gameslave.co.uk/bfleaderboard.cfm

or wait til bf2s comes out with a ranking sys.

Why the hell is firestorm on that list.

Maybe they got tired of waiting for the planes and helo's; you know people spend half thier game time waiting for one.

Looking at all the top ranked players, they all play city maps exclusively.  Why is that?  Yeah they are fun maps, but how can they play the same maps over and over and not get sick of it.  Especially when they average almost eight or more hours a DAY!!!  Good lord!

BTW, I'm still not convinced these guys with that many hours come from the same person.  Is it really humanly possible to play that much EVERYDAY???  I don't know, maybe if I turned my clock back twenty or more years I could maybe understand where they get the time.

Some people prefer city maps. The other maps are usually larger in the sense thats its more vehicle warfare than infantry warfare. I play Karkand a lot more than other maps because i prefer infantry vs infantry (yes I know tanks and apcs are used, but you don't have tons of them, nor do you have bomber whores and heli hovering homos interferring) Would I prefer to drive or walk around most of the game looking for my next target? No. I prefer CQB type action.

I agree with mb. The top ranked player should have to have spent an even amount of time in each theatre, not like 3 hours on dragon valley, zatar wetlands, fushe pass and shongua stalemate and like 700 hours on karkand

Sharky and MB are right, a guy who plays the same map, the same kit, and runs around using his 1 skill (such as tossing C4) should not be looked at as a great player, or even ranked very high.  IMO someone who is overall good with every kit and on everymap deserves to be up there in ranks!

Yeah; that's why I like the 24/7 servers because of the reload times. My wimpy Radeon 700x can't handle it.

True

thats only accurate if u wanna count c4/armor whores

Not sure what point you are trying to make..EA's, gameslave.co.uk, statpadder.com,or bf2s's future ranking systems?  If like to talk whores, what do you call EA's ranking sys...basically playtime whores.  EA's ranking sys is just a matter of who can accumulate the most teamscore + commander + combat scores, big deal.  Anyone who makes the game their life can be at the top.  There is no accurate ranking system.  I hope you don't think  EA's an accurate ranking system...it's a joke if even a ranking system.

I seriously think a guy who plays only one map every single day on one side only shouldnt be the first.

The guys who play the most to take opportunity of accumulating the most global shouldn't be first (like the 2 BSF guys in EA's, LOL).  That's quantity of scores not quality.   How about excessive vehicle usage too?

VU% = vehicle usage

That's EA's fault.   In the old stat feeds there are NO spm, kdr, kpm, or flag point per minute for EACH map.  Not sure if the new feeds get that info, but I highly doubt that the new feeds have that info or can be calculated.

Every kit?  Kit kills includes kills in vehicles and as commander, maybe you meant small-arms weapons?  I wouldn't  just limit it there, I would say flag points per minute, team score per minute, KPM, and KDR.

http://statpadder.com/cgi-bin/bf2r.cgi? … mp;start=0  a bit outdated, but as an okay resource.
