Well, I have hit rank 40, and I have also hit the point where playing this game is more of a chore than a game.
Up to and including level 25 is all good fun, unlocking new guns, new gadgets and what not, it feels very good, however after that all I can say is the incentive to play just goes down hill massively.
After rank 25 (and unlocking all the kit unlocks), you are left with getting stars for weapons, which feels like more of a grind then playing an MMORPG. When you rank up, you don't even get that feeling of accomplishment, it just feels like a "yay, another level... wooooo".
And before you all go in saying play the game for fun, it's very hard to enjoy absolutely ******** hit reg (I mean it is as bad as BF2 and thats 5 years old), stupidly overpowered weapons like the tube, CG, AN-94 etc, dreadful weapon balance...
I really hope they don't do a similiar job like this on BF3, I mean take ranking up on BF2, ranking up on that game felt amazing. You got drum rolls, you got a cool commander telling you you're awesome, and ofcourse, it felt like an achievement. And even if 2142 was much less reward with rank ups it made up for it with amazing gameplay.
*sighs* I guess I may have to re-install BF2 again...
PS. Wouldn't it have been good if they implemented some sort of leaderboard system for weapons like in 2142, that was really fun (number 5 with the sudnik go me!).
