Im mean to him because who gives a rats ass if he decides to uninstall. Why does he feel the need to let a whole bunch of perfect strangers know that hes not playing anymore? This is along the lines of a retirement post and I cant stand them. <<
You obviously gave enough of one to feel the need to respond, even if it was to ridicule. The guy was obviously a little frustrated at his situation. Perhaps it would have been much better form to offer him some friendly suggestions on where he could play?
About stats, for the most part...they don’t tell the whole story because anyone can manipulate stats to make themselves look like “Death on a Cracker”. Examples?
* Jumping on a server and switching to the team that is winning.
* Switching to the team that is winning in the middle of the game.
* Logging off the server if the team looks like they are losing and jumping on a new server to make sure the old server doesn't count you as on, but lagging...thereby giving you the loss.
* Jumping on a server, making 3 or 4 kills without dying and moving to another server before the odds of dying catch up.
* Playing on a server that you Admin so you can manipulate the teams and dump people that are too good.
* Only playing on your clan server or with people that you know.
* Spawn camping
* Whoring all vehicles
* Never playing on an EA server w/ uncontrollable teammates and n00bs at every turn.
* Jumping on an EA server with your clan buddies and pasting all the Brand N00bians.
I am sure there is more.
The point is...many times, the players who make the greatest difference in a game, usually don't get the credit in points. I can't tell you how many times I have lost games because too many people were obsessed with fluffing their kill ratios, but had no interest in DEFENDING the main base...or defending at ALL.
