I've noticed that people are making padding servers in CoD4. Yes, PADDING SERVERS.
What the admin does, is he/she sets the game mode to free-for-all.
Player limit to 50, respawn to nearly instant, and rotates on shipment and the cargo boat level.
Both maps have close quarters, so it's easy to kill each other.
How does this make it a pad server?
So many people die because at least 5+ people spawn at the same spot. If a player is lucky, he or she can get away from the spawn, aim their cross hairs towards where the players head would be when they spawn, and fire. It's a constant spawn of people and you end up with 1000+ points per kill eventually. I fell victim to this earlier, starting off with a sexy 0-50. A friend of mine explained this process to me.
Watch out for these servers, it could break your stats, and your heart </3.
Update
Yes, I know there isn't a global stat system The point of this topic is to point out that yes, you can stat pad. Sure, you can get General in a few hours. But it's also not how the game was made to be played. So what have you really accomplished by stat padding your way up? Proving that you can spawn kill better than anyone else? The purpose of playing on regular servers, and achieving that 5 star status shows that you have worked hard, and gotten much better at the game. It's like Mario Teaches Typing, you're having fun while learning how to play.
Btw, I'll post screen shots in a bit of how it looks.

Screenshot on one instance.
Note, these rounds last as long as regular rounds do.
