    Typically, no, donation does not reward you with being an admin. You're donating, not buying powers. If you're on at a time when most people aren't around, I could see giving someone the ability to kick so other people might get in the server when its full.

    And that's the way it should be. Bravo. Give because you enjoy giving and playing on their server. Not because you're filling a need in your life with some (albeit limited) power over people.

    I wouldn't worry about having a high K/D ratio. I don't even know why they'd put that in the sig.

    You know who has the highest K/D ratios? Those pussy snipers on offense who spend the entire first phase of Isla Innocentes sniping and mortar striking the defenders. I'm sure they have great K/D ratios, despite causing their teams to routinely lose because they can't get enough of a force to take a single MCOM.

    I was playing on a rush map this morning where consistently there were two defenders in the attacker base picking off one dude or so. We were taking the mcoms so they weren't slowing us down, but I'm sure their K/D was fantastic.

    Yeah, this is why I was wishing for class cap options for servers. One or two snipers? Fine. Probably even helpful.

    But I'd say more often than not, the attackers in Isla Innocentes (it's just a good example; it's bad in other maps, too) fail to even get through the first phase not because they're necessarily bad players, but because they have 2-3 full squads of snipers, and all the non-snipers are grossly outnumbered every time they push for an MCOM.

    I'm surprised at how many folks have a Negative K/D ratio.

    1) I suck.

    2) I get a fuckload of kill assists and whatnot, none of which seem to count towards my K/D ratio.

    3) I suck.

    4) I tend to play Medic and Engineer, and play both of them as support classes.

    5) But mainly, it's because I suck. At least my sig picture accurately reflects my level of BC2 skills.

    You and me Lawndart, we're two peas in a pod.

    Seriously, if I could have it remove my Engineer stats I'd probably have a positive K/D. My Engy-Fu is weak. I once scored a whole 30 points in a round as an Engineer. Wasn't proud of that.

    They turned it off because of the ridiculous load on their servers. They stated it would come back once everything calms down and the server stability was no longer an issue (it'll be a while :P)

    Getting better slowly. Starting to enjoy the Carl Gustav party.
    And I still love UAVing. Found new fun with the UAV and smoke grenades. You can smash those things through walls. Pretty much just give the MCOMM station a ton of problems, but except for a few missle hit usually not alot of score in it. But you can chip away at the building and keep it drenched in smoke.

    EA’s chief financial officer Eric Brown has reiterated the company’s “extensive paid digital content plan” for DICE’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

    The recently released shooter will give players “multiple opportunities to spend five, 10 or 15 dollars on additional content in the next six months or so,” Brown said today during Wedbush’s financial conference in New York, also revealing an interesting figure; 85 percent of players have activated the VIP code included with new copies of the game.

    and one more thing! if defenders see the flashing message to fall back - fucking ignore it! defenders win by killing people and depleting tickets. kill everyone you see wherever you are! retreating just means you are going to be shot in the back. plus if you do die its a free re-spawn where you are retreating to!

    If you guys want, I believe the developer for the Sigg-O-Matic is this guy:

    http://eltonmuuga.com/about/

    I emailed him asking him to at least give an option to display score and score/game rather than kills and k/d ratios. If you agree, drop him a line.

    Eh

    As much as people want to hate on EA, three or four map DLC from other games have always been $10. If anything, they'd probably include both Rush and Conquest in those maps for the usual price. The first map pack we are getting is free so I don't think that's a fair comparison.
