Ok, What is the deal with First Sergeant only being attained when you have the badges before you rank up? This is completely unfair and typical EA. My next rank up is 50k and won't be able to get an advanced rank until then? Why the torture? They don't even explain the ranking anywhere on their site... I only saw it here _after_ I ranked up. I realise most of you are probably laughing now but my account is basically screwed now. Way to go EA .. force us to get SF if you want to be competitive .. and then get shafted by some stupid rule. I have 30k more score to get .. I may as well restart. Fucking EA. If anyone knows a way to fix this I'm all ears... I really wish they would fix this.. just don't give unlocks for an advanced rank up .. I love how EA treats it's customers... I certainly won't be buying any more EA titles.
Uhhh is The distinction between Master and First Sergeant that important to you? The only difference is that you get priority when applying for Commander.
Whoa.....
You don't get any more unlocks for being Master Sgt. than you would for getting First Sgt.
Here, do some research:

And I quote from the bottom: "The major difference between several of the higher ranks is that you get the "higher" rank if you have certain badges. Whichever rank you get, each pair only gives you one unlock. "

DS Unit. It's principle... It's easy for you to say when you have the rank yourself. No I don't care so much about commander since I get to do it whenever I want.. but why should I be screwed while everyone else has it.. The point is I have 200 hours put in the game with another 300h to get to 50k .. With so much points seperating them now I would like that rank since I have all the badges. If you didn't have yours I'm sure you would be just as pissed (and you can't say no since you already have it). Seeing as advanced ranks stand out above everyone else... Dr Destruction I know you don't get unlocks, I even pointed that out. I just don't understand why it's done this way other than potentially pissing off customers (myself). And as far as I'm concerned EA needs a lot less pissed off customers.
Well, not to offend or anything, but this is the first time Ive heard anyone seriously bitching about this.
It's just a rank, dude. You still have the same amount of global points, and the guy who earned his badges SHOULD get rewarded.

Opiate, are you both stupid and blind? The only difference between Master Sergeant is the pretty little icon diamond and you get more priority over Master Sergeant for commander. And that is -IT-
Both ranks are equal in terms of their grade. You get one OR the other. Not both, and theres no extra unlock.
Same goes for the next two ranks, Master Gunnery and Sergeant Major.
As long as you have the basic kit badges and basic knife & pistol before you reach 20,000 points you will receive your GLORIOUS First Sergeant rank.
I honestly don't know what you are bitching about when you have plenty of oportunity to reach it.
And how exactly is your account screwed? Calm the fuck down.
You can FIX it by obtaining the basic badges that everyone and their mom can get with no sweat.

15 Days is plenty of time to get the pistol and knife badges, Im already able to get vet pistol but i dotn pay attention to it, I just need to get the knife badge.... people have joked about me cheating to get that, but i dont want to risk it. Ill just trick my friends into comin on my server and then i can go and knife them a few times. But i dont care if i get 1st sgt or master sgt. They are equal except in terms of commander. Why you care so much i dont know. Get over it, its life. To hear you complain about a rank doesnt match anywhere up to what ive had to go through this week. My 8 year old cat had to be put asleep, the first pet of mine and my first love for cats. Dead, and i didnt even get to see him alive before they put him down. I only got to pet his limp lifeless body when my parents came home with him. I buried him with his favorite snacks and toys, and his bed. But I am goin through more than you right now and to hear you moan over something so simple makes me furious.
the funny thing is, if you don't have all the basic badges after playing that long, then maybe you shouldn't be first seargent

I'm glad i've got ALL my badges out of the way...
Why is it that everybody bitches about games being too "hard" or "unfair". Please get over it and just play the game. You have much time to get the rest of the badges.
All you get is a symbol that (in my opinion) is uglier and more stupid looking than master sergeants.
You may say: So why did you get the badges if you don't like the look of the symbol.
Well because it was fun! I wanted to run around like a maniac with only a knife. It was funny to see what people wold type.
Good luck in getting your pistol and knife badges and have fun.

if you where that concerned with your rank you should have done some research first . i can understand it you got screwed out of the rank by the "vet badge glich" (like i did) but hay now you got something more to play for...
and just when i thought id seen everything there was to complain about.
i second the opinion, why are you angry?
people that do really well and get their badges get recognition?
"oh noes im not gettin recognition i dont deserve!?
