The reason you get points for throwing out medpacks and ammo packs and what not is because it HELPS YOUR TEAM. They reward you for HELPING YOUR TEAM. A basic KILL will not net you much points. But a kill that saves your teammate, or defends a points and such. A proper team with one of each class (Assault, Medic, Recon, Engineer) can beat ANYTHING. Tank is coming? Oh you got an engineer with with the assault giving him ammo for his rockets. You got guys closing in on you? Recon drops a motion sensor and everyone benefits. Gun skill and kill ratios are irrelevant and only matter to those who don't realize that the whole system is based on TEAM gameplay, not individual. Why do you think theres no deathmatch mode?
BCFanboy, go out and shoot a real gun you dipshit, and you'll realize gravity and distance all matter. The only reason you think the hit detection off is because CoD has been turning idiots like you into wanna-be soldiers thinking "LOLOL IF I KEEP POINT EXACTLY AT A GUY WHO'S RUNNING FROM 500 YARDS AWAY I WILL STILL HIT HIM BECAUSE THATS WUT COD TAUGHT ME" (yes, that is what I think your thought process would look like if it were put into text).
BC2 is based on realism while CoD is for those retards who watch too many movies.
It's BATTLEFIELD 2 sequel (I bet you haven't even played it) so stop talking about BC. No one cares about BC spinoffs now.
@BCFanboys I think you are mistaking the rewarding of strategic actions with time. If you sit in a game and do nothing, you will not level up. If you help your teammates by healing them and providing ammo in a support type role you are still contributing, which is why you earn points. The rewards for team based actions are sorely needed to incentive users to think of others. I can't tell you probably wouldn't if I were playing on your team.
