I've done some searching and could not find a straight answer, so I'll go ahead and ask it.

What is the highest rank you can get in BF2?  I see that "General" is the last listed rank on BF2s UBAR and says you have to have 200,000 points, but it says that it's the "Highest rank of the month."  Lieutenant General is right below General with the same amount of needed points, but you need 1440 hours of game play.  Then, way in the middle of the list lies "Sergeant Major of the Corps" which the description says "This rank is only awarded to one player at a time."  Is Sergeant Major of the Corps awarded to a random player.  How often does Dice/EA give out the rank to a player?  Do you have to be a certain rank/have a certain number of points to get awarded the rank?  I've been playing since the game came out, but never got real into it until recently and I want to get to the bottom of this ranking thing.  Also, when I look at rankings, I hardly ever see any players with a 1-4 Star ranking, which I believe is the highest 4 ranks you can achieve.  Does that mean that no one currently any form of a General?  Thanks.

EDIT

I see that Phantom0701 is a General, but with 408,444 points and -=RD=-Volx is #1 with 478,285 points and he is only a Colonel.  Why wouldn't Phantom be #1 since he is a General, but he's got less points than the leader who is a Colonel.

Sargeant Major of the Corps 'was' the highest rank way back in the day... But their were so many people that had global scores of over 100,000 that were stuck at sargeant major. So DICE/EA decided to add more ranks to cater for the more full time gamer. So now we have General.

Sargeant Major of the Corps is still around, but no one will ever achieve this rank because the person who has it hasnt patched up to the latest patch, so he will remain SMOTC forever. General as far as im concerned is the highest rank, and probably the last rank in BF2.

And if you go to the BF2s leader boards, you will notice their are quite alot of generals and 3,2,1 star Generals.

EDIT:

just saw your edit. -=RD=-Volx is number one in the world for 'GLOBAL SCORE' not rank. You will notice volx is missing some badges and thus cannot rank to a General Rank.

Ah, okay.  Thanks a lot for the explanation.  Like I said, I've been playing for a while, but not seriously until recently.  I'm a little Staff Sargeant just trying to understand the whole ranking system.

Oh, another question.  If you have 50,000 points, but not all the required badges you are a Master Gunnery Sergeant but if you have 50,000 points and the required badges then you are a Sergeant Major, correct?  I think I'm getting it.  Does Dice/EA have any other special ranks like the Sergeant Major of the Corps?  Under the General's description it says "Highest rank of the month."  What exactly does that mean?  Does it reset each month?  Thanks again.

Generals are just generals.  Don't pay attention to the "of the month" crap.

Thats funny, he's so scared of losing his #1 position that he doesnt make time to do something different with the game

He hardly has any aviator time lol o.O
