Re: Just being curious.

I briefly had Titan.AE as both Favourite Victim and Worst Enemy as a result of us playing a round with just the two of us on a server, but anyone else could have joined at any time...

If you are talking about the Rogue Tribe server it was closed for a training session last night. Many clans lock their servers for this purpose when they are considering entering into competitive play on a game and it is a perfectly legitimate reason to password lock their server.

Password protected servers on BF2142 aren't ranked.

But, anyways, who was talking about statpadding? :rolleyes

Re: Just being curious.

One of my clanmates has/had me as his worst enemy.
I find this Hilarious.

But i've had the same person in both places too- it happens easily enough.

You were asking why a server would be passworded, I was just answering you in case you were talking about ours.

Re: Just being curious.

Do points accrued on a locked FS server count towards stats? If so, it is open to abuse...

Re: Just being curious.

It would appear that our training session last night did indeed get scored by the stats server. I got a massive 14 points in 2h.25m's. Maybe this should be looked into? (locked servers I mean tongue) Also I believe it was originally stated that 6 players are required before the stats get recorded, this doesn't seem to be the case and leaves the stats server open to abuse by padders

Re: Just being curious.

I don't even know what stat padding means!  I had the same victim and enemy for ages, and thought that it was just a bug.  But now I don't, so I didn't really give it another thought.

I've never understood exactly what is meant by stat padding, but if it means I kill a lot of people and get a lot of high scores then I'm guilty! smile

What exactly is the accusation here?
