I know I'm late in posting to this thread but I just gotta say my 2 cents.  Anyone and everyone should be able to play the game the way they want to and for whatever reason as long as that reason is to have fun.  Complaining to people as to how they play is a major turn off and this mod needs players to stick around.  Kicking people from a squad because they don't do as you say is silly and locking them out is just plain spiteful.  It's a GAME!  Stop taking it so seriously people.

If you want to join a squad and be a team player OR 'lone wolf' it so be it.  I for one like to do both.  But some of you people make it sound as if there is something seriously wrong with Lonewolfen it.  I don't know how many people have saved a round by sneaking off by themselves and scoring another flag just as their team loses their last one.  I've done this myself, sometimes in a squad.  IMO that IS being a team player.   

Honestly I think the people complaining about the stats do so because their stats aren't all that great.  And if they really didn't care about stats, why are they complaining in the first place?  Maybe because people give them a hard time about their stats?  Waahhhh!  I love the competitive nature of gaming and stats symbolize that.  It's you stat haters that make me want to own you even more and rub it in your faces!  >:P

People running off to get badges is just an excuse to get rid of the stats.  I don't care if someone is trying to get a badge.  I never even notice because I'm too busy enjoying the game, which is why it was made right?  Earn you're badges fellas!  I'm with RabidJohn, I'll help you if I can.  Just kill the other team while doing it, have fun and don't listen to all those whiners.

You know from reading all this it realy seems like a no brainer to find some middle ground. Remove all the badges and pins but continue to record points. This way people will be encouraged to play well, using teamwork etc. while continuing to gain points and rank up.
