To get upwards of 40-50k points? i play ten-twenty games a day maybe 3-5 times weekly and i have been playing a month, and have like 4000 points.

i normally either get one of the stars or close to it...so its not like im way at the bottom of the list, and most of my points are commander points, so i double up...

and i play long maps, etc. 300 / 300 with like 64 people. and all over the EA etc servers...always on a different server. a couple times i have noticed people scoring 84 points or so, never seen anyone in any of my games (i think i have about 50 hours total logged) score over 100. and yet people have such high scores?

Lol, you must mean everyone outside this forum. I don't think anyone who has posted in here has passed that 50k mark yet, and that doesn't bother me a bit. I think it's what keeps everyone so civil in here.

I guess I agree. On average, the residents here have plenty of commitments outside of games, and therefore have a least a little contact with "real people" who they have to be civil with. This is vital practice for also being civil to each other online. But it does mean we've got lower scores than the spotty pale faced freaks at the top of the leader board

My job has funny hours ( and I make the schedule ) so I am usually free from 2-5 PM weekdays. If the wife is working in the evening I might play all night. If she is not I'll only get a couple of games in or maybe a little late-nite action.

If you want a good squad that follows orders, try and win gold, then make your own squad on the next map. Newer players will join your squad and stick with you cause they want to learn what you are doing. Not a sure-fire way of getting a good squad, but it pays off sometimes.

Are you talking about tickets? I mean, I don't mean to burst your bubble or anything... but.. uh.. aren't they set on ranked servers? From what I understand you can't change them... I've never run a ranked server so I don't know personally.

Also, I don't know what your talking about... I have noooo free time it seems like. I work / go to school / play Army on weekends / and have a gf. BF2 is what I do when all of that isn't going on... I wish I could play more...

I try to come up with about 1.000 points per week, but it ain't easy. there are so many other things in life.
And I don't want to force myself to play just for the points. that's not an option. so I only play when I feel like it.

real life matters. BF2 is just a game....

Summer Vacation + Lots of spare time + BF2 = VazkoraGFL

That was about 2-3 days ago. My GS at the time of this post is 19,374. Accuracy 21%, Kill Streak 50, Vehicle is now Armor, Map is now Karkand, best game is like 166. But I alternate between Armor and Helicopter, Karkand and Sharqi.

don't worry, you are doing just fine. It is true though that two weeks ago when I was close to getting corporal I got a bit fired up and played nearly the whole weekend just for that promotion. I racked up over 1.000 points in two days. I am much more relaxed now...

we need to play more together. not many germans here after all.

tomorrow is my birthday, btw....the big 30....

Whatever, I had so much more free time when I was AD! End of the duty day is end of the day. Nothing else follows. You can even get your asshat commander to leave you alone if you live off post. 97E, MI? You should have plenty of time if you aren't too busy looking over your shoulder...

BF2S Forums Where do you people find the time?
