I dont really give a fuck but I prefer infantry only.
Unranced: Legal. But is it fun to use just knife/pistol?
Ranced: Illegal.
But for soldiers who like the fun. You can use even you first character, but only on unranced servers.

The people who tend to populate k/p servers care more about stats than actual gameplay. I played in one of them several months ago and went something like 48-1. That is not fun. It was no competition. Just a bunch of people trying to get more points in a small amount of time. All I saw was people trying to get more heal and revive pts. But, to each his own I guess. I really don't care what people do with their own stats. It's their stats. If people want to play on k/p servers 24/7, who frigging cares? Seriously, people take stats way to ...well seriously.
I see so many high ranked playing on those... They don't seems to fear anything or something.
do you know why they have high ranks?
I was ranked 500th for Most Pistol Kills...
As soon as Pistol/Knife Ranked showed up.
I am now ranked 5000th for Most Pistol Kills...
What does this say to you about how many people are playing on these Servers.

Well said... I personally believe that it takes away from the people who actually earned what they have got the hard way. P/K only servers and the like... you cant tell who has expert knife badge the right way or stat padding.JeSTeR_Player1 wrote:

EVIL_STYX OUT!!!
but problem is, who really cares about what global rank they are? is it gonna make u a better player? no.
Wow, I figured out how to get those badges without P/K servers
-you pistol whip on medics, snipers and Special Ops. Kits that have the least (or no armor at all)
-aim for the face at close range as it does 3x the damage
-reload after taking out your 1st or 2nd opponent (if you have enough ammo keep it for your 2nd kill then reload)
-For some reason Assualt is the best class for me as it takes more weapons fire.
-Be a sniper if you don't want them to know where you are hitting them from once they respawn
-You need a team of players with you to revive and resupply you as needed. This is the biggest part of getting your badges. If you think you can do it alone you it will take you a long time.
This works for me...everyone has their own way of doing it.

I have what I have from pure gameplay. I've tried some of those k/p servers, and its bs. Ppl always pulling guns out, armour everywhere, rarely is it k/p. But, when it is, its normally a whole bunch of fags just racking up pts. They care too much about their score and rank(I like the scoring system and all, but comon', do it properly, in a normal ranked server). If u want high pistol kills, go sniper, shoot a guy w/ full health and then pistol him, if you are using the M95 or L96A1, they have 2 bars of health left, and armour won't even stop them from dying.
Still. Who cares. Stats are images nothing else.
I love stats without them I would not play. But I could care less about other peoples stats.

Yes.
End of discussion.

I use to play a little, but I stopped when rumor was they were resetting stats like mad.
Yes, there only stats, but still they represent a lot of work.

personally, I think each server should pretty much be able to set their own general version of the ROE. I mean, as long as everyone is playing with the same rules, what is the inequity? I understand they're bad, and against the ROE blah blah blah, but seriously. Infantry only? Fine - even the playing field. Tanks only - more power to you ... literally I suppose. Rules is rules ... or something. <shrug>
Some consider KnP cheating or padding, however, I firmly disagree with that assessment. On KnP, players are fighting to win, and are are using no coordinated padding techniques or hacks to obtain their scores. The action is intensely competitive as well as teamwork oriented, and the commander plays a critical role in the success of the entire team. These are core values that EA itself stresses when discussing the intended experience of BF2.
The real issue is EAs ranking system, and it's all about money. EA has spent serious market research $$ to generate a system designed to keep all of us playing their product for as long as possible. Their strategy includes sustained product expansion, and the ranking system was intentionally designed to encourage booster pack purchases. Higher average scores on KnP servers (due to the increased action and less downtime) throw off their market strategy, and EA obviously doesn’t like it.
Fortunately over the past six months KnP has exponentially increased in popularity, and I think EA is taking a serious look at the implications of those actions. There are thousands upon thousands of players regularly on KnP, and the number of servers continues to grow every month. Even a market strategist n00b can see that it isn't a good idea to piss off thousands upon thousands of potential customers’ right before attempting to sell them a new product (aka 2142).
The bottom line is you might get reported if as admin you ban some looser who holds a grudge. You might get reported if as a player you pwn that same looser to much. If you get reported a stat reset is possible (so I hear). But who gives a ^#^% anyway? All those shiny BF2 medals aren't worth squat in real life, remember that! I play BF2 for the fun, for the action, and to interact with people all over the world. Medals are neat, but I'm here to kick some ass and enjoy the action while sippin some rum and coke.
If as an admin you are really are worried about your stats, the best thing to do is say "Banning Smaktard RULES!!!", instead of something more specific which may end up in a screenshot and a RSP ticket. I wouldn't even worry about it though- EA want's to sell us more games, and all the people complaining about KnP have already purchased it- there's far less motivation there. You really have to wonder what's up with all the katz who invest time in complaining - go play somewhere else if you don't enjoy it!
Show me a player who cites the ROE and asserts players on KnP only care about points, and I'll show you a player who hasn't yet realized that KnP is extremely competitive, action oriented, and lots of fun to play. If you don't like KnP simply choose not to play it. It is fun for others- let them enjoy the $100 they've invested in BF2 and boosters how they want. Lots of people love it, plain and simple, and Admin'n KnP takes hard freakin work- I dare you to locate a server that get's as many "Thank you Admin!!!!" and "I love this place!!" comments durring gameplay as a well run KnP server sees.
In any case, every day more and more people are getting tired of this silly ranking system and many of them are starting to give mods a chance. There's a lot of good shit out there- I highly reccomend downloading Nations at War and it's 3 map packs- 30+ maps, awesome kit and vehicle additions and modifications, and it's quality is better than several of the maps I've recently paid for in booster packs. EA should hire these guys next time they want to make a booster!
Peace-
