(Before you gripe on me for calling it "point padding" and not "stat padding", there aren't many stats, it's all about points).

So tonight while playing some Headquarters (hardcore mode of course), when I'd die, I'd be spectating on a teammate who just stood there not moving. No he wasn't camping, he wasn't even aiming at anything. Just standing there facing a wall. Had 0 kills and a few deaths. But never moved, just stood there. Too bad admins wouldn't kick him for idling.

So I guess a great way to rack up points while you're asleep or out is to just find an HQ server and then walk away? You'll rack up loads of deaths, sure, but you'll get loads of points when your team captures the headquarters and holds it.

Hmm, what an asshole. Swap to the other team and get your knife challenge

but after one round you will get stuck as a spectator since you havent selected a side/loadout.

Meh, it's not like it's paticularly hard to pad points.

Nor is it paticularly possible to do anything about it (legally, that is).

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Sure you can do that, but once the round ends and a new one starts, you have to select a team. So you can't just go to sleep and rack up a bunch of points. You'd have to wake up every 15 minutes to start a new round.

The guy probably made a macro. To automatically choose a team.
