Ranking system

[PCGamer121.]

DICE Demize has just posted a poll on what people think about the ranking system for bad company 2 , so you can have your say on the ranking system.

Lots of people think you can rank up too fast , and i am one of them , its possible to reach full rank in 1-2 weeks ATM and needs to be changed to what BF2 was like.

For your say , head over here and vote.

Re: Ranking system

hmm I'm not sure, Looking at some of the requirements for say the last Assault gun (M16) you need a lot of points as the assault class, I have played for I think 8 hours or so and got to the FN2000 (on my way to the AUG) but even then you need a lot more points as Assault

You could add in more ranks I suppose but then theres no commander so its not as relevant, besides adding a lot more stuff to unlock I think the only way is to do the BF2 style where you need more points.

Although with what I said earlier who knows, I'll play later and see how it all compares

Re: Ranking system

But in BC-2 you get 50 points for each kill 100 points for killing tanks and jeeps and stuff , 30 points for defusing the creates , 10 or 30 points extra for headshots on top of the points for the kill.

With all that you score a massive amount of points per round , sometimes 7000 points per round , its just too damn quick and easy to rank up

Re: Ranking system

I think its a bit early to be asking about the ranking system considering we have only had the beta for a few days. Only when players have had a decent amount of time on the game will it really show how long it will take to get all the weapons and gadgets available and reach the highest rank.

It would be nice to be able to select an unlock when you rank up rather than be automatically given weapons and gadgets. This would provide more variation in the game than just having people use the same weapons all the time. Even if it was a hybrid system of being given unlocks and being able to choose some unlocks (maybe gadgets that are available to all classes).

The BF2 system was good but whether console players will give the same amount of time to Bad Company as players gave to BF2 is another question. BC2 won't have the player base that COD has or even BF2 I would say. So I would think (or hope) that DICE are trying to get a balance between something like the BF2 system and the BC system. This way it would take longer to rank up giving more longevity for some players but at the same time not too long to get some of the higher unlocks.

Re: Ranking system

I think BF2142 had the time about right. It only took a day or so to get one or two unlocks, but to reach the highest rank it would take a couple of months for most people. BF2 is way too time consuming for the average human, if you plan on reaching highest rank that is.

Re: Ranking system

i think 2142 ranked up too quick. most people were able to get to brig gen in a month. it should take longer to reach the highest rank imo.

Head over to the forum in my link , people are at Rank 19 after only two days play , and i think there is only 25 or 30 Ranks.

BC-1 had 25 Ranks , its just too fast to Rank up , 2142 would be pretty good way to Rank up

I agree its too fast if there's only 25-30 ranks. I'm guessing you'll still have to work for all the weapons and gadgets tho after you reach the top rank but I think it should take at least a month like 2142 otherwise ranks become meaningless. Especially when you don't have all the gadgets and weapons by top rank.

Re: Ranking system

after playing for a bit longer, and getting 9k in one round lol, I can see that you can sort of go up ranks quite fast

however a lot of the unlocks are not based on rank but simply the class score, and I don't think that goes up by as much.

I'm still miles off the Aug but close to the USAS12

Unlocked the Thompson, was lolworthy

Re: Ranking system

I think they should use their system a way that you get maybe all weapons in about 1-2 months, but ranks are something for a waaayyyy longer term.

As the class weapons are excluded from ranks anyway this could be achieved quite easily.

I liked it the way it was in Bf2 concerning ranks. I have no problem with not getting the highest rank, but I'd like to get all the weapons earlier than playing several months for it.

Double post much? lol

IMO BF2 is WAY too slow, it's rewarding at the start then when you hit officer it sort of casts you into a box of boredom.

On the other hand 2142 had a good idea with sectioning ranks into bronze silver gold etc which BFBC2 has also.

2 weeks is crazy of course but IMO, the average team player (so relatively high points) should be able to get the top rank in 700 hours.

Of course IMO the #1 or top 10 people in the world should get the elusive 5 star General rank as recognition.


How ever I can see that it is possibly so fast in the beta because DICE want to give people a chance to play and test all the bells and whistles.

Re: Ranking system

I'll add this as I forgot

basically for each class after you unlock the first few guns (2 I think) in the class tree, and I think you only need something like a 3600 class score to get them, the gap then jumps massively, as in from 3600 up to 180000 or something lol

could be better to perhaps space them out but if Dice are yet to finalise all the stuff that will be added I don't mind.

Re: Ranking system

I think it would be good if you had all unlocks but still needed a load more points to reach highest rank , like months and months and months of play.

Now i come to think about it , BF2 was abit too slow at ranking up , and 2142 was probably perfect

Re: Ranking system

I forgot that killing people gives 50 points, I thought those 120k points for the higher weapons in a bf2 score system...

A normal round gives how many points normally in the beta?

[Mavrik347]

Re: Ranking system

Yeah all the points are 10x too much... I have not seen a 5, 15 or 25 etc so why have 50, 30 or what ever points?

All the points need dividing by 10 imo. 5, not 50. 3, not 30. etc.
