Why in the world is EA busy spending all their time harrassing players over stat padding and whatnot?  Does anyone make any money from having better stats?  Do they get neato prizes and balloons and cake and cookies?  NO!  Yet EA is going through all this trouble to wipe people's stats and mess with folks over the littlest ole' thing.  Horse crap I say! 

What EA needs to be trying to fix is the godawful team damage/kill setup they have.  Why is it some fool who is purposely killing folks and has -500 teamwork points during the game require THIRTY, yes THIRTY!!, freaking votes to be kicked?!?!?  Especially considering that one team only has like 16-19 players so they need a lot of people from the OTHER team to vote to kick the jerk as well!!!

Also, how hard would it be to institute a way to keep people from punishing for TK's when they are obviously doing it on purpose to screw folks.  I'm sitting on a Wake server. . .I like flying but I hardly whore them (check my stats if you'd like).  I get lucky enough to grab a plane out of the 50 folks standing around and 3 idiots jump under my wheels and then punish me so I start out with like -25 points.  Obviously I could become a pariah and only play boards where TK is turned off or whatever but those servers usually suck and no one plays there.  Surely EA could rub their 2 working brain cells together and come up with a way to stop this crap.  I understand it isn't a perfect world and all, and that there will always be 12 yr olds acting their age (or older folks acting 12).  However, it aggravates me to see EA and crew spend so much time and effort coming up with new ROE and wiping stats, yet they can't do something actually productive to make the game more enjoyable.

Ok.  Rant over.

Just because you see them actively administering the ranking system doesn't mean that they abandon the other issues in the game, and assuming so would be ignorant. They could be even different departments working on separate issues simultaneously. Sure the team-damage system needs work, but if you look at the overall picture, the developers have done an outstanding job with the game thus far, and it's my favorite shooter of all time. I think the recent game of the year awards reflect that as well.

If you where aloved to statspad people would start thinking what's right and wrong. This also give them new weapons faster than anyone else and higher chance to get commander position.

I want to get a plane. I have been sitting at a place for ten minutes. But it gets stolen by a asshole that just got there. So I shoot him with a anti-tank missile. I will tell you that. He deserves it.

IMHO the only people who are likely to complain about statpadders getting their stats wiped are the statpadders themselves.  Have you got something you'd like to 'fess up?

Stat padding has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen, with legitimate reasons ranging from getting all the weapons unlocks to hearing the endlessly amusing drumroll of an awards popup.

What would probably be more effective is a statpadder ribbon to let everyone know just how dumb a particular player is for trying to grab stats that don't even give him access to level 30 magic missile. While they're at it, EA could award court martial certificates to serial teamkillers. And then let snipers punish people who constantly go out of their way to walk all over the cozy football-like claymores protecting sniper flanks. Award the friendly football punters with a ribbon depicting a magnet and a red skull, too. Unfortunately, some players might go out of their ways to get these particular awards, just like that infinitely desirable purple heart.

Well, when Battlefield 3 comes out, EA will probably relax their anti-padding enforcement for everyone who wants to be in that top 20,000.

Na, the stupidest thing EA have done is disallow team switching to gain the war college ribbon. Can you actually believe they wiped 2nd lieutenants stats for that!?!?!?!?! Sigh.

Everytime you team switch, it forces someone from the winning team to the losing team after all that hard work they did in order to get the win. That sir makes you a smacktard for teamswitching for a stupid ribbon.

I play on servers with auto balance turned off. It doesn’t work that way on these.

they should atleast make autobalance fair. ive been in first frickin place on the winning team and got switched almost at the end of the game and i was squad leader. they should switch people with low scores or lonewolves.

No mater how or why someone does it , it gives the rest of the people playing fairlly to the best of their ability an unfair chance to compete . A cheat is a cheat no matter how you look at it.

EA/DICE has no common sense.. thats why..   Lets not forget that weve got choppers that can not only
TAKE GROUND (which has NEVER been done in the history of mankind..) but they can also take direct
tank shell hits and simply fly away with just a little smoke..

The whole voting system is a joke.. totally useless, they might as well not have one in the game at all..
I dont think I have EVER EVER EVER seen a successful vote on anything..

They did not beta test this game, thats obvious.. they made us all paying beta testers for them, but
yet decide to not fix obvious flaws in the game, instead they cater to cry babies who whine about
'bunny hopping' (its called jumping you noobs, if you cant hit a moving target, play another game..)

Its sad.. EA is the worst game publisher I have ever seen.. and DICE are the worst group of
programmers ever assembled..

Depending on how big the server is, it'll require more or less votes to kick someone.

seriously i don't get it... if people don't like Dice and EA so much... why are you spending hundreds of hours and dollars on their products? shut up and play or go play something else.  I think its a great game and DICE is working very hard to support it especially without making people pay monthly like so many other companies do.  I completely don't understand why people bitch at EA when they're not the ones writing code for it. 

To put this in perspective for the slower audience here:  you paid on the average $80 if you got both BF2 and SF and average player here spent about 200 hours!  that's 40 cents per hour. Lets compare that to another average game for $40 which usually takes about 12 hours of gameplay to finish at $3.33 per hour.  A movie $10 per ticket for 2 hours at $5 per hour.  A MMORPG $75 initial cost for title and expansion plus $15 monthly, 2 hours per day for 100 days (200 hours in about 3 months) at 60 cents per hour (and going up every month).  I think this is QUITE a deal and I think a lot of people owe both EA and DICE an appology and should be forced to send them a thank you letter

COD2 is a different type of FPS. It doesn't have the huge battlefields, which allows it to cram in more graphics.
