Ranking System Dramatcly Changed Warning Spoilers - Page 5

***ptownlax503*** · October 7th, 2005

so has anyone determined that this is even a the real ranking system? Like I said in my last posts, it can't be right. I'm a gunnery sergeant when i should only be a sergeant. Obviously something is off...can someone confirm or deny that this is the correct ranking system because if it is then something is glitched.

First Sergeant

Required Score: 25,000

I think you are mistaken....you should have 25,000 points to be a first sergeant. And how do you explain me only have 8900 points and being a gunnery sergeant. I don't get it! If you have 20,300 you should only be a gunnery sergeant

OK OK OK now there are alot of good points made here, BUT the bottom line is that when they made the game the criteria for everything was way way way to hard. Yes I know there are some people out there with 150,000 points, but they have no life and probably have themselves locked in there room and believe battlefield 2 is the real world. Now the rest of us normal gamers who have have averge amounts of points deserve to be rewarded as well. I mean its ok to have some things be reallly hard to get, but not most things. I play for about and hour to 3 a day and have a little over 10,000 points and i was ready to quit playin ranked servers because whats the point. You play for hundrads of hours to get one reward or two. I think it has made the game much more fun. Anyone who is in here complaining that it ruined the game are probably one of those people who spend every waking hour playin the game and are now pissed because everyone is getting a boost. Well get over it, its just a game and the few people who made this game there Life need to get out and take a walk. The other 95% of us who have lives are now enjoying it much more. EA changed it for a reason. Thousands of people complain its 2 hard to get ahead and a handful complain about dumbing it down.

The final line to your statement was unecessary. I suggest you read the forum TOS before posting again.

actually i don't agree with the majority but let me clarify. Make the ranks harder to get if they want. But don't dangle special weapons and such in front of people like a carrot infront of a horse and tell them they need to play hundreds of thousands of hours.
The game was built for longevity. And those people who have hundreds of thousands of points do have lives. And play other games. there are many ways to get points. Some faster than others.

The game has been out for about half a year. The ranking system is (was) designed for the lifetime of the game, i.e. 2-3 years. In those 2-3 years, even the slowest players here would get all their unlocks.

Why do people want to get all their unlocks/badges in the first 3 months?! And stop for a second to think of what's going to happen in 1 year with the current system. Erm... screw waiting 1 year, look at it now: everyone has everything now.

Once again, the ranking system was designed for 2-3 year ahead. You were never meant to have all your badges/ranks in the first 3 months, and you were never meant to have all unlocks unless you spend 1 year playing the game.

I play for 3 hours a day (and it got me 53,000 points so far), and i still have enough time for a familly dinner every night, time to help my younger brother with his homework, time to do some house chores, late evenings are reserved for my GF, and i get time to go out and party on the weekeneds (and normal people that work through the day, have to pay for the house, electricity, food, GF, etc don't have the money to party all week long like some here try to suggest

Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) at that stupid method of spelling color

). So, with all the above, i still get the social life and get to put 3 hours a day for BF2.

So don't tell me you can't squeeze out 3 hours a day if you got GF, work, etc. True, some people will not play everyday, some people only play on weekends. But it's not because they cannot put 3 hours a day, it's because they don't want to.

Well, maybe your not looking for a game. Your looking for more of a war simulator. Games shouldn't take that long to complete. Simulators, yea, they can take a while.

***Dark Saint*** · October 7th, 2005

you don't " complete " anything in online multiplayer fps game. Soldier of fortune ? SOF2 ?Bf, BFV, there is nothing to complete. This game was built for you to get your monies worth, by leveling up to get new weapons. It should take a while to do that so you get some self satisfaction out of it.

Uh,the game's been out for 3.5 months.That's not half a year.

And I will tell you I can't play 3 hours a night,every night because it's true.Without getting into a minute by minute description of my schedule,I simply don't have that kind of time.Unless of course I get a divorce and quit my job.If you can,that's great.But we're not all in the same circumstance as you.
