it begins to show BF2 is out for some time now.

[rombaft]

In the beginning of the game, we where all privates or maybe lance corporal, nowbody ever seen a corporal running in the game.

After some time, you could see a corporal sometimes and if you would see a sergeant in a game he got flamed for being an exploiter.

But now you see corporals everywhere, sergeants on regular base, even today on a server there where like 6 sergeants and a staff sergeant.

I find it great from EA to make the ranks so high to reach, now you realy see many different ranks in a game, and this will only grow bigger (when there are more staff's or higher, sergeants, corporals, ....) , if the ranks where easy and fast to get, everybody would have the same rank and after some time, it would realy be stupid.

I agree. It also stretches out the playability of the game, plus I am shure there is room for EA to add more badges as the game progresses.

There's no point, lieutenants and up are officers. What would the unlock be, a pen and a desk? As said before in this forum, NCO's are the backbone of any army.

They should make a dam pistol unlock


On topic, my point beeing, I will never be the highest rank, and I don't care about it, it's just nice to see so many different ranks in the rounds you play.
As I said in start of topic, if it was to easy to get some ranks, with some more months everybody would have the same dam rank.

Their pens would have a tempur-pedic grip installed for maximum comfort and effectiveness! :guns:

They'll probably continue the ranks as well with each new release of expansion packs and add-ons. Very smart marketing to do so as many people are already hooked on the badges and ranks reward system.

He wasn't talking about new ranks, just awards.. but anyway. Would it break your balls to see something like a lieutenant on the battlefield? It would really tarnish this otherwise 100% realistic game (sarcasm FYI).

And if there were to be Generals and stuff in the game, you could always give them special commanders abilities at least. Imagination is the limit.

Personally i'm very happy that the ranks are so difficult to earn. Just like the opening posts say on this thread. Now if you want to stat-pad your way to being a gunnery sergeant, even that is hellalotta work (+it's boring).

Re: it begins to show BF2 is out for some time now.

One thing I find great is the medals. I mean, Gold, silvers and bronzes are easy to get, but getting most of the others is a CHALLENGE and will hopefully keep people interested.

On the flip side, it strangles mappers and mod makers because everyone is trying to get a new rank ...

only a small partition of the bf2 community want to play new maps or mods it's strangling us modders :/
