How can you say someone who can tweak their settings in order to see further than me,  for example, see me but I can't see him, not have a distinct advantage?
If they suck at playing,they suck at playing.... oh, and where did I even bring up tweaking settings?

Suck is one thing,  He is asking if it could make you better.  I am an average player, but I bet I could snipe more effectively or do anything else better without lag.

I understand what you are saying.  But what if your older comp can't handle a better card or more ram?  The newer computer would have the advantage.

Isn't that a little obvious? If a computer has more RAM and a better card the computer itself will run better. I'm not trying to get into some stupid debate over this, all I merely wanted to state was that you shouldn't assume that someone with a great PC is a great BF2 player.

I think I've made my point here...

Now that cat fight is over, back to what the guy is asking,

I would agree with what a few of the people on here have said, a better computer (i.e better graphics, more ram etc) will allow you to get closer to your personal best.  I'v clocked up just over 1000 hours on this game, and for 990 of them, I've played on low, with some lag problems and the like.  I recently got a new graphics card, and on my first round of karkand, i clocked up a round of 183, and then a round on wake of 126.  I think it is more to do with not having to squint ones eye to see where the god damm enemy is, sniping has improved, and in a one on one fight, i no longer think oo god not again.  Next will be an upgrade with my ram, and then finially get my damm conection sorted, all in time for 2142

let me just say that the computer doesnt make the man. the man makes the computer. although the computer can help the man but it doesnt make the man. trust me on this cause i know people who had a piece of crap comp and still used to own in other fps games.

No.

If anything it makes you worse, as better graphics conceal things that people with low graphics can see.

IE people laying in grass, darkened areas etc.


But it does make you play better if you have been getting lag etc, I dunno.

I think you're talking about the Skill & Experience Cheat other players use? I must admit, i use it myself to mow down newbs and to make them call other players hacker.

I corrected your statement for you.

You're welcome.
We'll unlike you, I prefer to live in Reality and not in a fantasy world. The people that cheat in online games always say the same worn out remarks and statements. Burying your head in the sand and saying online multiplayer pc gaming hacking/cheating isnt crippleing gaming as we know it forever, is not the way to exterminate it from the future of PC gaming.

Aimbots, wallhacks and various other little nasty things are reality in todays gaming world. The game companies will feel the pinch even more as the years go on. So you can say skill and experience all you like.. if you believe your statements, I have some lovely ocean front property to sell you here in Minnesota.

I enjoy playing a game for relaxation and fun. I do not type/talk when im in servers, even though I might know I was just aimbot headshot while my enemy was doing a dolphin dive while shooting me, and my whole clip didnt even touch a hair under his helmet. Don't help these people hide in the shadows by denying its not a HUGE problem in online gaming today. I have my opinions and you have yours...mine are correct though.
And now comes the factor experience into play. Meanwhile i'm close to 1000 hours of ranked BF2, i don't know  how many hours i spent on the Demo Version, on unranked Servers or on crashing ranked servers that didn't report the stats after that. I play in Leagues and therefore i play nearly exclusively infantry only. As you practice and practice your skill increases and increases. You get better and you're able to place headshots on a regular basis.

I don't know how many times i've been already called a cheater, because i was playing good and able to kill players who're maybe not soooo good. On the other side, if someone is able to kill me once, twice or 100 times i know that something happened, and this is clearly the other guy got more luck (if it's happened maybe once or twice) or he is simply better than me.

I don't call them cheater/hacker/whatever due to one simply reason, there are just really good players out there.

On the other hand, i don't deny that there are cheaters out there, but i honestly never experienced one and if, he was one of the worst players because he would have even sucked with aid by tools.

Now i take a look at your stats (I suppose it's your stats you show in your profile), you spent 112 hours in BF2 and your stats really show that you're 1.) new to the game and 2.) not good at the game (at least until now).

If you "maybe" one day got the motivation to invest enough time into this game, so that you'll get maybe really good you'll discover that there are players out there who are able to place headshot after headshot.

And please don't forget ping issues, if there is a player with a 15ms ping and you got something like a 100ms ping do you know what happens in the game? He uses his ping advantage and kills you with bodyshots. You die suddenly and think he placed a headshot on you because it was so incredible quick. No, it was the ping difference...

Now please join the "reality" (if you can call a PC game this) and leave your fantasy world of everyone cheating who's just better than you.

And a last one: Do you make sports? If yes do you make competitive sports? Do all your opponents use doping because they're better than you?
You can brag about how good you are all you want, and as for stats I told you I play for fun not "computer gaming God glory". You are whats wrong with this community and this game in general, look at your stats OoOoO you are sooo good...pfft stats and polls were made to be fixed and skewed. You can flame my stats all you want...people like you help hacker/cheaters remain hidden among all of us by making it look like it isnt a HUGE thing.

Open your eyes and talk some truth.

If this community had less people like you it would probably survive, you can pat yourself on the back because you accomplised your mission of helping deny there is a BIG problem with not only the glitches/bugs in this game but the hacked/stat padded game called BF2 and expansion packs.

You must be really insecure about yourself to have to research my stats lol...I will not ever take  time to check yours because like I said before, i'm sure you have not earned them but simply cheated to get where you are. Keep right on bragging about yourself because its empty, vain and useless, i'm sure like your life is.
