Observations when starting a new soldier

[dontsh000t]

so i recently started a new soldier to deal with tards without ruining my stats and online reputation. it's been 3 days, and somehow playing without having to care about stats is fun - no need to TAB before spawning to see if teams are stacked, etc.
Funnily enough though this new soldier has a marginally higher KDR than my main BG soldier =D it's mostly cos 2142 was my first FPS and my KDR sucked at first (it plunged to the depths of 0.09 back when i was a corporal or smth), but it's pretty amazing to see how much i've improved, even without unlocks.
which brings me to my second point - unlocks. it feels pretty crippled starting from scratch. you run for about 2 meters and have to pant and recover for 5 minutes =\
i've found that engy is a good starting kit cos the SMG is like a mini-voss. krylov is of course good to start with, and support actually sucks when you have nothing. recon is worse, no zoom= pwned by baur.

but most importantly, i rank up pretty fast due to awards. i keep getting badges pretty easily. it's fun to rank up twice times in a game due to badges, my previous BG account still has quite a number of gold badges not gotten yet. mostly because of my sucky skills and laggy comp last year.

anyone had similar experiences starting a new soldier?

Yep, it's pretty cool starting from scratch. My first soldier had a K/D of 1.6 and now I have almost 1 more. :) Also, with playing a new one, I discovered the strengths of the Krylov and other weapons - Motion Mines etc.

XD

My first soldier had a .84 K/D Ratio when he hit Brig, I was able to raise it to 1.1 before I started my second. I got most of the awards, but the War College Ribbon was WAAAAAYYY out of sight...

Then I started Mr.Kaizer. His W/L Ratio is approaching 4/1, and his K/D Ratio is almost a nice 2.0 :) I was planning on just messing around with Kaizer and then going back to Fingulfin, but after I saw Kaizer's stats, I knew I would never go back.

especially nice to have 1 account with good stats, that you log on to when you know you're gonna play well, and 1 acc with BG unlocks and crappier stats for days when you're tired and just want some brainless spray-and-pray or jihad jeeping =D

[Fingulfin]

The only thing I miss about my old soldier is his ranking... He was in the top 3000 Overall, and was 21 in the world with the Fried Cheeseball Launcher :( My second is working his Fried Cheeseball rank up (top 300 right now, I can go up 20-100 places per day), but I will never get my world ranking back to what it was.

My current character "lolyn" has almost 1300hours of play, K/D of 2.65 and spm of 2.39. I made a new character called "hansmoleface" and after 3 hours of play I've just unlocked rockets but not used them yet, but have spm of 3.3, K/D of 4.34, and good accuracies across all used weapons (57% voss for 30 kills ain't bad). And that's playing mostly infantry, some vehicle kills but nothing substantial.

So yeah, much better these days :)

some thing suprises me when im playing on my new soldier once in a while on a 48 manned titan server i always go defending in the air shafts and it seems i never get killed by nades or thrown rdx but on my main soldier they always throw nades and c4 lol

[dontsh000t]

now this is weird.
i've been trying out tard things like jihad jeeping due to the lack of unlocks for my new soldier, and APC-whoring. just checked my stats, i have:
1.116 KDR
2.324 WLR
1.356 SPM

low spm sure, but i got a higher WLR than on my main, without even trying. and the kdr is lower than what i'm getting nowadays on my main (~1.5-1.8) but still more than 1.00

conclusion? you want good stats, play like a tard.
now i know why so many tards lurk around on 2142, the game mechanics allow for it o.O

I took your guys advice and created a new soldier, and jebus christ did my stats improve. For some reason I'm getting a much better KDR (3.1) and W/L ratio (7.67! although I haven only played about 25 games with the new guy) than my old soldier and I havent even unlocked the voss yet which is what I usually use for assault.

My current soldier D3lit3 has a sucky KDR of 1.3 (knife hunting for the top 100 & fooling around heh heh) and a SPM of 1.8.

Then I decided to create a new soldier because I was bored called x=Balla=x. So I though meh, why not join a server. I was getting scores like 30-0, 42-4, etc. because I was walker whoring. And low and behold, I log in the next day and have a KDR of 11.6! Then I deleted him because he was a knife server user :(:p...

[dontsh000t]

11.6 D:

wait... how do you walker-whore AND knife-server whore without being kicked? ^^

[Lolyn]

Think I might start using my new soldier a little more - he's called "hansmoleface" if anyone fancies adding him and playing "as new" with me :)
