Well the problem to be honest ... most of high ranks are arrogant SOB, and most low ranks are plain assholes who never perform alone or on a team, like the other day I was after a medic who’s rank was private, asking him for a med pack like ten times in a raw and the SOB is not even responding at all, just running all around

at the end ... I agree that time makes its magic ... and I feel better and more experienced the more I play and hence the higher my rank gets ... I suck as a Chopper gunner ... but hey ... high ranks "arrogant SOB", how am I going to master it if you never allow me to !!

Chill Kontrolfreq, of course you're gonna be getting some good kills these days as you get better at the game. But the more you play the more experience you get and the better you become. I think that I had a similar K/D ratio when I was your rank, but I'm pulling it up these days as I get better.
I'm sure you got skills, but you (like many other people - including myself) have room for improvement.

Peace, and keep playing

As chilled as a Penguin Popsicle mate. I never claimed to be great (or even good!) So no doubt i'll get better than i am. The point I was gunning for is that i'm not a rank, i'm a human being dammit and demand to be respected! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAAAAAHHH etc etc lol. (sorry too many coffees at my desk today!)

A lower rank does not make a bad player, and a 6 figure score does not make a good player.

All players are bad when they first start playing and get better and better.
Most players can remember the point when they feel they went from a below average player to an above average player. For me it was around 200 hours, for other it may be more or less.

All that said the high rank players are generally more skilled.
If you got a random pick of players ranked Lieutenant or above and played them against a random pick of players ranked Sergeant or less on every map, swapping teams each round, what would you expect the results to be?

At the end of the day, I have had my ass handed to me by low rank players, but they are far fewer than the high rank players that kick my ass.

As in every other activity in life, Experience is golden. There are a few exceptions to that rule but for the most part the longer you play the better you will be.

You begin learning things and you dont even realize it. Common hiding places, routes, spawn points, vehicle spawn points, vehicle spawn times, vehicle hit points, how many hits it takes to kill a certian vehicle ect.

Everyday I play I learn a new tactic, or technique.

The way I treat any game is if I keep on getting killed by one exceptionally good player I keep going up against him or her, even if I get repeatedly killed. I love it when someone will start getting cocky because they are "owning" me. Until an hour or so later when I am killing them 2 out of 3 times because I have learned their moves and "tricks" and hiding places, and just come in from the side, or behind. However, some players are better than others no matter what. Thats when you learn to avoid them and kill everyone else around them.

The grudge matchups during the rounds are the best thing. Getting into a sniper fight is awsome, or when someone calls you a "noob" after he kills you, and you go on to hunt him down repeatedly and make his game hell... happy days...

Dont you think its possible that a high ranked and skilled player could start a new account and appear as a low rank?

They could, but they would rank up very quickly, most high rank player score 150-200 points an hour, or more.
They could start a new account every week, just so they appear low ranks, but I doubt very many players do.

What I love is getting the server bug that shows me as private and then going 40 / 2 in the round and getting gold. Always good for a chuckle...

Lol that's a load of bollocks unless you go by stats. 98% i'd say..

I get today around 75% of my rounds consisted of 100+ scores and no I was not padding ... I see colonels below me on the leaderboard all the time, and i'm like: "wtflolz"

I try to play an hour or two a day just to unwind from the daily grind. You maybe a General or a private don't matter to me. We are all just a Battlefield 2 family. Now go out and blow someone up.

Once you play CAL or TWL you realize rank had NOTHING to do with skill.
