possible... i mean why not? if people keep playing and racing through the ranks, they will have to keep adding them i would think. the more ranks, the more people will want to keep playing.
Are we going to see a bunch of five star general infantrymen running about?
Even though 2nd Lt. is around, there are a ton of other ranks to go before 5 star general. Let's not forget about Captains, Majors, the massive number of Colonel ranks, and plenty of others.
And trust me, considering how many Sergeant ranks there are, they're going to use every possible military rank possible. It's still going to be quite some time.
yeah and by the end of next Year will see some ppl with "President of the USA" or "Dictator of the MEC" Ranks or WTF?????
And whats about those ppl who just dont give a f*** about the Add On and wouldnt even buy it in their worst dreams? Wil we stay behind like some retardet CS Kiddies?

Here's an idea that EA and Dice didn't think about......why not have Air Force, Navy, and Army rankings? Take the first hour or two that the person plays, determine what they do most (fly, fight on land, on water (only if they would have brought out the ships like DC and BF1942 had...bummer)) and then assign them a rank tree to climb. It would kinda made things more interesting.
I still wonder what one is going to do with all these ranks.
My primary motivation were the Unlocks (now i have them all).
So i dunno how long i will keep playing BF2 besides the competative stuff.
id really like to see other kinds of unlocks, not only class specific weapons.
For example better kevlar for all armored classes.
a better Pistol for all classes (maybe a desert eagle or even an MP7)
Singleserving portable Stingers for engineers or ATs.
something like that.
Or "chain unlocks" for a class.. for example, the first Assault unlock would be the G3, if you unlock it a second time you get a G36-E etc, and so on..you get my point.
they didnt even put sergeant first class in : also theres a few warrant officer ranks before 2nd Lieutenant
The ranks in game are USMC, US Army, Sgt. First Class = USMC, Gunnery Sgt. So yes it is in game. Also Americans don't have Warrent Officer ranks, the resflective ranks of theirs and ours compared just work out as Master Sgt. upwards.

I like this idea. maybe an option to choose what branch youd like to play on. Your unlocks you could used would be determined by what branch you are playing and what rank you have on that branch. maybe a way to implement new weapons, saving space.
There are 5 star generals, but only in war time. They are:
General of the Army for the army
Fleet Admiral for coast guard/ Navy
and General of Airforce for the AF
the marines dont seem to have one for some reason.
The 5 star ranks haven't been used since WW2, and probably will never be used again. Basically it gave commander's in the field unrestricted authority over their subordinates, like a CINC in the field. With the communications abilities now the rank is no longer needed, as field commanders can talk directly with their HQ or the Pentagon. Here are the only 5 stars in the history of the US military.
The Army's Five-Star Generals:
General George C. Marshall
General Douglas MacArthur
General Dwight D. Eisenhower
General Omar N. Bradley
The Navy's Five-Star Fleet Admirals:
Admiral William D. Leahy
Admiral Ernest J. King
Admiral Chester Nimitz
Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey
The Air Force Five-Star General:
General Henry "Hap" Arnold --Note: General Arnold actually was awarded this rank twice. In 1944, he received his fifth star while the air force was still part of the Army. It was then known as the U.S. Army Air Corps. After the Air Force separated from the Army, he became the new service's only Five-Star General.
