Re: badges easier in 1.03

based on the ranks of people who have tested the new patch and their global scores, these are my educated guesses for the rank requirements in 1.03:
250-pfc
500-lance cpl
1500-2000-cpl
3000-4000-sgt
5000-staff sgt
10000-gunnery sgt
20000(?)-master sgt/ 1st sgt
I don't have any idea what the upper two will be because nobody who has played the patch had higher than 30k points, but I might guess
50k and 100k

Educated Guesses ?? It's time to go back to school. Anyone between Corp and Sarg are going to jump about 3 promotions using your logic. I don't think its going to look like that somehow.

this guy is a first sergeant, he has veteran assault and support, also veteran commander (with only 4000 commander points) and a good conduct medal

so veteran badges need probably 50 hours and 2000 kills with each kit, veteran commander needs 4000 points and good condut medal probably onl needs 250 hours instead of 4000. big change in requirements

lol, last time i played w/ that guy he got so mad at me because i use a tank to kill him when he was on foot, and a AT to kill him while infantry as well. he wouldn't stop with the "Thats unecceptable" and "it's supposed to be balanced, like rock, paper scissors!" lol

Re: badges easier in 1.03

Well I dont maind them lowering the points for all the ranks... as long as they throw in a heap of new ones.... officers ...

that way we all wont end up as sargents even faster than before, but have something more to continue with.

less than 50 hours, I saw one huy who had a veteran badge an less than 40 global hours.

EDIT:

http://bf2s.com/player/47093957/

gunny sgt at less than 9000
7500-gunny sgt?

also, he has the veteran commander badge, with about 1500 global commander points. that's a tenfold decrease in requirements. wow.

thirdly, it's a looong way from gunny sgt to master/1st sgt, at least 20000

7500-> 20000 is a pretty long ways for players who aren't necesarily all the great.

Re: badges easier in 1.03

if you look at two of the players who have tested 1.03 and been promoted because of it, they have also earned veteran badges. http://www.bf2tracker.com/bf2_useraw...bf2id=43389870
Naz has the veteran sniper badge, but he has only played about 50 hours as a sniper.

http://bf2s.com/player/43312501/

grr has only played 80 hours as spec ops, and yet he has the veteran badge. I think the new requirement will be around 50 hours and then some IAR requirement. also 30k-> master sgt and 15k-> gunnery sgt, so corporals get 3 extra unlocks, which seems a little much to me.

Veteran should be around 50-100 hours. 250 is way too much.
EA said they formulated the ranking system after looking at BF1942 stats but I don't think they took into account that 95% of the players were on mods like DC or Pirates or something. i.e. not playing the proper game

Re: badges easier in 1.03

This is too funny. The last time I played was more than a month ago at the rank of SGT. When I come back (with v1.03), I could be a 1st SGT. :laugh:

BF-Center.de-B_C is playing Wake Island 2007 on Bredbandsbolaget 1.03 Test Server

some of the guys on that server dont have veteran badges even with more hours than people who do

Re: badges easier in 1.03

the badge requirements being lowered will probably end up being significant because first sgt requires all the basic combat badges and sgt maj requires all the basic badges. quite a few players with around 30k points won't get 1st sgt immediately because they don;t have all the basic badges.

I had all basic badges at the time i got Lance Corp...

[illeaglealien]
