I was playing last night and I found a Karkand server with good ping. So I spawn as US assault go past the hotel and I see about 25 US and MEC all lying prone in a pile killing eachother and reviving eachother and doing it again...I mean, literally: a pile of guys knifing eachother and then reviving eachother over and over. I started shooting them from a few paces away and I got banned from the server. Is this stat-padding? I'm new at regular battlefield 2 and I didn't know how to take a screenshot...
No dude, don't worry, that's just a knife/pistol server, and let me assure you they are COMPLETELY harmless! Completely legal! EA shouldn't even worry about them!
Seriously, yeah it is, just don't worry about it and find another server.

man...that is fucking hilarious! I'm baffled that people would go to such dull lengths for their stats with full knowledge that the stats are not even legitimate. I can see taking pride in stats earned the hard way, but this...whatever turns your crank I guess...NuclearBlasted wrote:

Because having badges is assumed to give you respect (like rank & KDR). Why do you think so many players display their badges in their sigs? It is to pander for respect.Afrika_18 wrote:

Edit: I should say that is is another reason ... sometimes, a player isn't good enough to get the badge a legitimate way, and they want to advance in rank. So, they resort to this ....
