    OmG!! Ranks to low!! Read.

    I've bounced to numerous threads, on numerous forums, and there's always a couple who claim the ranks were lowered to much, and they didn't earn their three simultaneous promotions.

    If you didn't earn the point then who did? People make it sound like they were handed the ranks. You EARNED the ranks when you reached the new set of standards months ago. True, you were upped 3 ranks after only 3 kills, but you had already earned the points. Stop complaining.

    I agree I think they lowered them a bit to much, but they DID need to be lowered. I think only needing 800 points for corporal is low, same with sergeant. However it doesn't really matter. I will say the game is a helluva lot of fun now. Especially with the more teamwork you're seeing, and I'll admit, I'm working more as a team as well.

    Before I only played as spec ops to get my 250 hours of playtime with the kit, to get my Vet. badge, and I know many others did as well (with different classes). Now that their lowered, I swtich classes more often to actually help the situation. If there's a bunch of tanks at a CP, instead of going SF to gain the time requirement and hoping to C4 them, I'll go Anti-Tank, as now the badges are more obtainable.

    I personally like the new system in regards to the badges, medals, ribbons. The ranks were dropped a little TOO much, but hey, they still have ranks which are WAY up there for players to achieve.

    Remember, this IS an FPS. EA/DICE did the right move in moving it away from an RPG.

    Remember, you did in fact earn your rank. You got the points, and were awarded with the promotion. Think of it as your rank was a backordered product from newegg :p.

    Cheers.

      well said. And as someone else pointed out the point requirements are just shifted. There are still goals to work for. And yes, yesterday I experienced some nice teamplay.

          does the game run smoother for everyone now? i keep getting headshots with my m95 when i point it at a guys head! it's amazing, it doesn't just randomly shoot, it actually hits where i point! i think it's because of the smoother frame rate. *bows*backflips into pool*

              Well, even if they were lowered too much (which I believe they were, it doesn't seem realistic when everyone is a Sargeant or above), they can't raise them now or they'd have to figure out a way to get people to give up their unlocked guns.

                  about time some 1 posted the "good things" about this patch i rlly enjoy the new ranks as well as unlocks. i will be playing more as spec ops when there base raping us with tanks because i can acctully kill other players now.

                  well posted as for people who think one kill is another promotion...... im at a loss outside the fact i have to mention that u only get 3 kills in a round!? i mean u would think you would notice it when uve killed 20 peps and no promotion.... come on use the your brains or have they been shot out by the sound from the headphones off ur computer as there turned up way to loud inorder to gain that extra kill when u hear people sneeking up?

                        You've got to play for a few minutes and get some kills.

                          You have to play on a ranked server and get the promotions then after approx. 1 1/2 hours you quit out and when you restart the game it says congrats......

                          you may wanna try quiting out every 20 minutes or whatever. You will keep 'getting promoted' until it registers.

                          All the new ranks were earned by all, you earned the points just on a tougher system. The old way was too tough but I think they shoulda double what they have now. I play likely 2 hours a day on average since the release and have 15000 global and all but 2 unlocks that I don't even care about; Medic and AT.

                          Better than the old system and lets more people max their awards; I'm the kinda guy who wants to earn every badge there is, woulda taken 2 years the old way.

                          I like it.

                          Plus no more A-holes TKing you for your M95.
