BF2S Forums Would you start over?

thats up to you.  you just gotta think about how long it took you to get that rank you're at, and is it worth it again.  i wouldn't.

I was in a similiar situation, I had quit for awhile and when I came back had like a borderline 1:1 ratio and 0.8 win ratio. If you're geting better though it'd just play, you can turn them around pretty easy. Went from 0.8 to 2.39 WIN:LOSS and 1.4 K. Glad I chose not to start another account now. Just my input that I wouldn't restart, but yeah as someone else said if you do want to might want to before ya get much further.

Naw, dont restart.  This new goal to raise your motivation to play better and better each day.  By starting over it doesnt change the fact that you still get better with time.  This game isnt very hard, its just practice, placement and luck.  If you are a huge stat person just know that know matter what your stats say, if you are not helping the team your stats mean nothing.  I suggest on focusing on more flag captures because a couple of things happen with that:

-you get flag points
-you help your team win
-most battles happen obtaining a flag or defending it, so your K should go up if you are saying your skill went up

If you skill hasnt gone up, it will surely go up after posting your butt at a few flags because you cannot help but get better with all the action you will see.

In the back of you mind you will have all of those badges and hours lagged just sitting there doing nothing.

I would not restart, but really focus on what makes you good and DO THAT.  That will bring up your score.

I Gunnery Sergeant now but my K/D ratio and win loss is not real good. I have gotten a whole lot better lately and my KD is improving. If you were in my situation would you start over to have better stats?

(sorry I made the poll wrong)

never ever never ....

reason i have stats, are so i can folllow my own progress ... and i would like that to be from day1 and forth

starting over is like ... well .. admitting youre a stats whore , which in my eyes means NOT a team player ... = i would never accept you


anyways, thats my 2 cents

In fact, if I could turn the clock back, I wouldn't buy BF2 or SF until after the new patch comes out.

i got a pretty good K/D ratio

I wouldn't restart.  To get your K/D ration up you need to start vehicle whoring.  This is the only way to really get it over 2.0 quicker.

I started over 3 times.  First I left a clan.  Started over with an account named to irritate a former clan member, thinking I could change the name when the 1.03 patch came out.  When that wasn't going to happen, I started another account, but always seemed to suck when I played it.  Finally started my current account with no clan tags and have used it ever since.  It's sort of irritating to think of those 8 thousand 'orphaned' points floating around out there.  Anyhow, do what will bring yourself the most enjoyment.  If you start a new account and change your mind, you can always go back and keep playing your current account.  You have nothing to lose.  Frag away dude.

im stuck with my clan tag embedded into my name.  respect.  lol, tho we are few
dont restart a new account, for most of the reasons stated above, but mostly the wasted time, and the fact that your growth is incorporated to your current account.  thats you, that is. not a ratio. 
if u wanna up your k:d, start commanding.. arty kills count, tho they dont show on your ingame score as kills.

have respect in thyne self.  at the end of the day, u have to play this game to enjoy yerself, not to get a higher ratio... i mean, is it gonna make you more sexksay to de laydies if u have a better k:d?

try that one down yer local...

Hee,
This question (topic title) zipped trough my mind lately.
I decided not to start a new account i play for the growth.
My k/d is now at a shitty point 0.99 its real hard to just get it over,
A shitty 10 minutes with 4 arty deaths 3 spawnrapes and a teamkill only delay the breaking point :'(
over and over again.
As i said i was thinking quite a lot lately and i think this would be a cool function:

Current K/D ratio
Current SPM
Current W/L ratio
Current accuracy (not sure about this one)

All above would be an average of your last 5 updates or so.
And itergrated in you profile maybe under its own header.
So you would have a bettter view of how you are playing lately.
I don't think it's hard to code in cause you already have the info for the graphs.
When you trie a different technique or different settings you could see this.
I also know this belongs to BF2s request topic should i post again there??

cy,

I have to go the other way and say yes (kind of).  I am gonna create another account to see where my small arms weapons KDR really is (as of today) versus KDR first starting.  It's kind of annoying slowly watching stats go up or down in small increments.  It would be better if there was some kind of monthly permance stats, but there isn't...

Nope, keep same.
