well i really dont like ABR as it lags up servers, but looking at this new scoring system, i think stats will keeps some people who would usually lone wolf and teamkill in line. The new stats system will reward people for killing a tank more than regular infantry, actually making players in jets and helos target the major threats instead of bombing the enemy's spawn all day long.

I am ashamed to say it (*stands up, looks at the floor*) My name is DarkJester, and I was a total stat wh0r3 in vBF2...
I'd check my BFHQ and BF2S and see how many hours i'd need on each kit and play nothing but that kit to get my 100 hours up.. even when the map didn't really require that kit or my squad needed help in another area. (i'd like to point out, I never stat-padded though.. everything achieved was 100% legit)
My only release from the dirty addiction of stats has been PRMM. It's made me see the point of the game again. I play in a completely different way than I used to. I don't go after kills, when I can support others to get that kill. I don't go for flag captures when I can do a better job providing support from an outer perimeter. That's the trouble with stats - they make everyone play in the same manner. Without stats, i'm less selfish.. and at the end of the day in PRMM.. I have a LOT more fun than I ever had in vBF2
ZiiP will never adopt a 3rd ranked system, purely on the basis it distracts players from playing as a team.

Tell me you never played Karkand and seen 10 to 20 ammo and aid bags around a flag pole just laying there in wait for somone to fall over. Just because someone wants to get ammo and first aid points.
Or the medics that lie in wait and revive you over and over while you die time after time because there is a tank sitting on top of you.
That's manipulation in my eyes. That's the kind of stuff that happens in ranked vanilla servers. That kinda **** will come here if PRMM is ranked.

actually it wont buggies. there is no way to throw down medic bags now. with .3 only 3 ammo packs will be able to be dropped at any time. anymore and they will dissappear. Tossing ammo packs or med packs was stupid because the enemy could pick them up too. Why supply your enemy? just stupid. I hope everyone that did that died by an enemy who was able to use those packs.
as for darkjester saying that he only played a certain way to rank up. well if that is the way some play than so be it. I don't think they would go over well like that in a clan or have a good game period. If someone wants to do that stuff than I could care less. It isnt going to ruin my great games with great guys.
I am the current #1 ranked player in prmm and if you were too ask those who play with me on a daily basis I am sure everyone of them would say that I am the first one to play Teamwork based Games.
