I was just wondering, someday this game will get old outdated and stuff, so will the ranking system be shut down? cos if it does ,all of the medal earning and hours spent on a single medal will go to waste dont ya think.
I suppose you could take a screenshot of your stats for the memories. There's nothing much we can do about this but play and enjoy. Untill we get bored and move on. I did it to Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike.
I don't think of earning ranks/medals/stats as wasting time. In fact, I don't even lust after them to impress my friends or the BF2 community. By the time I started playing in late November, all the "firsts" had been taken. There's always someone that makes the grade before you, so why reinvent the wheel?
On the contrary, I use earning them to create "goals" for my playing time. As much as I love random killing sprees, flag caps, and getting in the top three at a round's end, having set out to accomplish something in the round (i.e. getting a new ribbon or qualifying for one in the next match) and doing it makes the game really worthwhile.
Plus, that little drum roll that accompanies an award is a sweet sound!
