we all know that the new patch is bringing the officer class to the rank scale. do you think that it will/should have requrements for these new positions? i.e. 20 hours of commander, 50 hours squad leader to reach captain, per se. do you think that is fair or unreasonable?
I think it would make sense that officers should have either minimum squad leader or commander times.
Good Idea there Stryyker!!!!
i read on this one page, i got the link from a forum here but i dont remember which one, but it said there was going to be ranks up to general? anyone heard otherwise or how much points it will take to reach these new ranks?
Agreed. I wonder what the requirements for the ultimate rank of 'General' would be. I bet it's going to be another one person gets it at a time type thing.

I hope they have requirments like maybe... all expert badges or something for this... all blah blah blah for that...
(like you need all basics for first serg etc...)
so all the medic whores that play nothing but medic (sorry blazin ) will cry that they spent all that time doing nothing.

If I remember right, when BF2SF was born, they dropped the score limits for the ranks...Do I remember right?
I wonder are they gonna do that again?

they did that before SF. the requirements were lowered with the 1.03 patch.A.Aho wrote:

stryyker, i really like that idea. i think it would separate those who are good all-around players from those who only play in armor and jets or those who only play as medic or commander. although you can medic whore it up on karkand and get a ton of points, theres no way you can pad your way to 100 hours for each kit.

I would be very surprised if the enormous gap inbetween sergeant major and 2nd lt. wasn't narrowed. Or maybe put a warrant officer rank in between them.
i think thats a great idea stryyker! and quite a possible way they might do that because cmon, lots of new ranks... more then 200,000 points thats insane to go higher than that (imo), so the "hours as" an "required awards" is a great way forward
expert everything for general rank
should have them by the time you get that many points anwyay
should have them by the time you get that many points anwyay
hmmm, the only problem with this would be, everyone in the top ten(much less the top 50) has over 700 hrs played, so the time req's would have to be huge, like 300 or 400 hrs as each position for it to even effect most ppl. I also dislike the idea because, the medals have time req's on them, I don't think the ranks should. I do like the idea of making the ranks have a large point requirement, maybe 500,000 or 750,000 for the top rank or something. It would be stupid to see dozens of generals running around on Karkand.
I would personally like the ranks to go like this:
50,000 sgt major
80,000 2nd Lt
160,000 1st Lt
250,000 captain
300,000 major
350,000 Lt. Col.
400,000 Colonel
450,000 Brig. Gen (1 star)
500,000 Maj. Gen (2 star)
550,000 Lt. Gen (3 star)
650,000 4 star general, and you should need so many expert badges.

hell no put them lower then that. think about the people who have a life and want unlocks.
650,000 some of us (that like to rank up) have more to life than play that amount of time to get 650,000VeNg3nCe^ wrote:

That’s why they lowered the non-officer ranks for you. Now the higer score players need something to work towards. I agree with VeNg3nCe on those numbers.SAS-Lynx wrote:

yeah but people that dont play all there days still wana rank up now and then, which is why the time requirement an required awards is a good idea it will also make the amazing "top 10" that everyone is so botherd about more accurate because you will have to have the skill to get the awards rather than just points
I will just wait till the summer then non-stop bf2
I can't see why you want pointless ranks if you don't want to spend a lot of time getting them. You're a "casual player" and already have all the unlocks, why do you care? These new ranks that require a ton of points are just for the people with no livesSAS-Lynx wrote:

lol i gues your right, i like to be a rank i like (dont ask y ) an i like gunny sgt (my current rank) an first sergeant. the only new rank coming i gues i would like would be major or maby captain. officer ranks isnt my thing but getting priority for commander is lol
I think they should be selected for ranks above captain and done by performance not by points.
i got some info from my cousin in EA canada, she didnt say much, but that new ranks were added, and requirements lowered, so who knows?
I Just became a Sargent Major. I would'nt mind if they would add more ranks between that and 2nd leutenet. Be nice to rank up again so quickly! When the 1.03 patch came out, I gained three ranks instantly, it was great!
Stryyker that was an excellent idea! While it would be nice to lower them, it would be nice for them to include certain attainment factors other than badges, like what has been said about time spent as a certain kit? That would be nice to see.
