1. why do people create and use more than 1 account? i dont see the point.

2. what exactly are the requirements for leutenant general? I have seen everyone from nade spammers, rdx bunny hoppers, knife stat padders as well as actual skilled players get this rank. i am confused. it must be a joke.

3. how many people actually play this game? im guessing less than 5,000 people realisticly.

4. why are all the highest ranked players in this game european? are Europeans overall just mentally and physically superior to us? (im guessing yes lol) or do they just take gaming more seriously over there? idk

5. on a personal note, what is your favorite color? i like Navy Blue because it makes me feel confident.:)

1. im guessing they want to have a "fresh start" and re-experience the game when you have no unlocks

2. look here: http://bf2142awards.com/ranks/

EDIT: never mind.... it doest show... strange.... then idk....

3. i play this game a lot, and idk why more people dont- its a really good game. i guess COD4 appeals more.....

4. no idea....

5. same, navy blue just seems more honorable, but army green is just as good! :)

US: 301.139.947

EU: 494.800.000


Some countries that don't belong to the EU but belong to Europe are not counted. So, European people... Maybe around 700.000.000? I dunno. But that might explain why there're more European players.
Just checked 2142-stats. Germany alone almost makes one half of the whole US player base. (300.000.000 (127503 players) -> 80.000.000 (56647 players))
And by having more players = better players. ;)

those seem like highly inflated figures. i dont think the game is THAT popular do you?

6. How often do you go on knife only servers field_boy? :shakehead


recently i've been going on and playing a knife only server my first match a session to kind of warm up my mouse hand so i dont ruin my rep when i go on a real server:) ive made myself look like a fool a couple times coming in not warmed up and playing against some good people and getting killed by them more than i should. then its good practice for the off chance that some doof ball tries to knife me it happens alot i dont really mind getting knife killed it happens but sometimes ill humor them and knife fight

i dont really see a problem with how i do it. i mean some people its all they do but ill do it maybe a round or so maybe not every day and my kd usually ends up being worse than if i had just gone on a regular server

Sorry, what do you mean? I got the numbers from 2142-stats. If you count European players and US players, you surely will find that there are way more European players than US players. And with more players also come more skilled players naturally.
US players: 127.000
European players: 198.503

Dude it's just a game. Nobody cares about your in-game rep.

I've thought of going on some knife server and do some APC whoring. Most of these guys play medic and the servers are usually FF=OFF, so I can't get knifed and still get 5 kills or even 10 kills pin before being kicked out. Then, I would have to answer questions like "why do you go on K/P servers so often?" Ugh, I'd rather suck it up with bad KDR and spamming nades during Camp Gibraltar Fragfest. :dead:

1. It seems that they would do it just for fun, i.e. they've gotten one soldier to their highest rank and every award, so they want to try it again.

2. Primarily it just takes time to get to the highest ranks. Your total point's will always continue to increase so eventually you'll get there. Its just a matter of speed.

3. What on earth would give you the idea that there are only 5000 people playing?

Look here (http://www.swivel.com/data_columns/show/5027235) and then here (http://2142-stats.com/Global+Battlefield2142+Stats.html). Total copies sold in the US is over 200,000, and assessed players is 421663.
Maybe not all of those people are playing regularly or at all anymore, but they did at one point, and you can't expect every person who owns the game to be playing constantly at the same time.

That's just a load of bull sh!t, impossible to argue your way around. Even if you are innocently going onto K/P servers, it doesn't do you any good "to warm up." I never needed to warm up as well as a lot of other pros on TGN who will agree with me (I hope).

They only way you can excuse yourself for using a K/P server is if you go into a server and ruin it by "breaking" the "rules" and only then if you can have some buddies vouch for it back at TGN. ;)

by going on k/p servers your just as bad as they are. You could even call it stat padding yourself since you know everyone is in one specific area on the map bunnyhop/dolphin knifing etc. Save yourself the hassle and dont trail into them. simple

and an in game rep is important in some aspects especially if your tagged for the following:

1. because you are representing your clan most of all

2. if you may or may not play clan matches its good to have a positive reputation

That's why I avoid K/P servers at all cost, to prevent my rep from being tarnished as a statpadder. ;)

Well, it seems that I do care about my rep after all. It's just that it doesn't based on my stat.

whoa. whats with all the hate? i dont get why everyone hates knife servers. ive never played on them, but AFAIK, they are just servers where all you do is knife other people. whats so bad about that? i think it still counts, even if it does put you on an even level with others.
EDIT: and whats a K/P server?

Fingulfin
03-25-2008, 06:29 PM
K/P = Knife/Pistol.

K/P Servers are bad because they are against the RoC, which is covered in the ToS you signed when installing the game. EA can wipe your stats for playing on them, as they are considered as a form of stat-padding.

It isn't EA. EA has licensed server hosts that are allowed to host ranked servers. It's basically up to them as to why they allow such servers.

I have 2 accounts b/c one is for my bro-in-law when he comes over and wants to play for a while. I know sometimes siblings share the game, so that's why someone might have 2 accounts. The only down side is that you can't play at the same time. Another reason to have another account is having one just to be an asshat on. Sometimes you just feel like being a jerk, but you don't want everyone to know it was you doing it. So you have this Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde thing going on.;)

03-26-2008, 05:06 PM
Furthermore, knife servers allow you to gain points twice as fast as you could on a regular server and allows you to get the sought after knife badges without any effort.

It comes down being to stat-padding, which I don't think anyone will say is OK. ;)

Just start a new soldier, you don't need any unlocks for K/P (except maybe sprint+defib, which you can get with I think 250 points), and you won't have to worry about your "reputation".

1. why do people create and use more than 1 account? i dont see the point.
So you can use your skills earned in your first account... And most of the time you will have your old score back very soon, and with a allot higher k/d and kills in a shorter while

2. what exactly are the requirements for leutenant general? I have seen everyone from nade spammers, rdx bunny hoppers, knife stat padders as well as actual skilled players get this rank. i am confused. it must be a joke.
Being in the top 75.. So start Playing hardcore style for 24/7 field :laugh:

3. how many people actually play this game? im guessing less than 5,000 people realisticly.
;)Useless it is..

4. why are all the highest ranked players in this game european? are Europeans overall just mentally and physically superior to us? (im guessing yes lol) or do they just take gaming more seriously over there? idk
Because we europeans are professionals in gaming.. And nobody works here everybody plays 24/7 games and stuff :|:

5. on a personal note, what is your favorite color? i like Navy Blue because it makes me feel confident.
Do you have a fetish for lame questions?

first off its a matter of principle. no one likes cheaters in games and im sure you feel the same(unless you like playing with cheaters??)

secondly k/p servers are against the rules. as if you didnt know already

third, stats are what most people keep playing the game for as it shows achievement.

We went on one of our unranked servers a couple of nights ago and had a blast playing sniper kit only. Rules were no commanders, no vehicles, and you could use anything in the sniper kit except the Lambert. We did the 16 man maps playing just one round on each map and it was so fun. Everyone was in the same TS channel so plenty of chatter back and forth.
