Like in ANY level of competition, why not make it to where certain ranks, BASED ON PERFORMANCE, NOT TIME IN PLAY, earn you the right to move up.

HOW BAD does it sucks to play with a Noob (we were all noobs) and have them punish for TK because they ran into the path of a vehicle with the horn honking for a block or have them C4 the chopper-pad?

If you f-up all the time and your level of play super-sucks, you get bumped down.  If you do well, you get moved up.

They FOR ONCE you can remove the play for 8,000,000 hours and get ranked up, even though you're a cock and are really not that good.

that would be complicated to do and will require more work (DICE hasn't even managed patch stability yet) also, stop bashing noobs, yes they are sometimes frustrating, what do you expect.. definition of 'noob' is a real blur, even experienced players punish for no good reason... maybe theyre having a bad day or maybe their just a tard.  thats always going to be part of online gaming so dont bother.

This is more of a goal for people to get better and feed the squad-based play.  I remember each and every time that I have played where the win came down to a few people that everyone was working, collectively, towards capturing flags.

Staying alive and teamwork wins and makes it fun.

I think Halo has a similar system with the levels.

I'd rather them fix the ranks fiasco.  They should've changed the ranks after the first 6 months.  Nowadays, every average player is on most servers a Staff Sergeant.  So they should create an unlock system based on points, not ranks, and make it so that it's evened out so the ranks are still close to being realistic.  I mean, it kind of deludes the point of having ranks if most players are above Sergeant, if you know what I mean.

Current Pvt. = Updated Pvt.
Current Pfc. = Updated Pvt.
Current Lance Corporal = Updated Pvt.
Current Corporal = Updated Pvt.
Current Sergeant = Updated Pvt.
C. Staff Sergeant = Updated Pfc.
C. Gunnery Sergeant = Updated Pfc.
C. Master Sergeant = Updated Lance Corporal
C. First Sergeant = Updated Sergeant
C. Master Gunnery Sergeant = Updated Staff Sergeant
C. Sergeant Major = Updated gunnery Sergeant
C. 2d Lieutenant = Updated Master Sergeant
C. 1st Lieutenant = Updated First Sergeant
C. Captain = Updated Sergeant Major
C. Major = Updated 2nd Lieutenant
C. Lt. Colonel = Updated 1st Lieutenant
C. Colonel = Updated Captain
C. Brig. General = Updated Major
C. Major General = Updated Lt. Colonel
C. Lt. General and General = Colonel

Seeing as how it'd be very unlikely to see a Colonel in combat, let alone a General, I think it'd be fair to just have Colonel as the highest rank.

Last thing,

Sucks to HAVE to play forever to get rank.  If you are good and qualified, earn the rank.  If you suck or are new and need some time, granted, take the time and get good.  If you suck, be a private forever.  Happens in the military.

Acknowledge performance.  The rank structure is not for ANYTHING but keeping people playing forever prior to new mods.

If anyone argues that, they have not been in business long enough or skipped too many classes somewhere.

Whoever said it would be too much coding needs to look at the Xbox version of this game

Anyone above major (I think) would play with majors and higher and vice versa

And ranks in that game are based on Points Per Hour or PPH
