Myself am on a higher Sergeant Rank. I don't really follow Marine ranks, I think it has "Master" in the name somewhere.
You can't really pull the life thing on me. I played bf2 for like 600 hours over a 2 year period. Douche bag...usmarine2005 wrote:

I am not pulling it on you ffs. I am just saying it is a good thing to some people.jord wrote:

I've played 275 hours over one and a half years, so that must mean I have more life than you.jord wrote:

Carry on...
If they took the ranks out and just gave the perks as unlocks not nearly as many people would bitch about how fast it is. By using BF2 as a reference it is fast... but then again BF2 is ridiculously slow at gaining rank and badges etc.
rofl @ jord making an argument out of nothing
I appreciate that this mean people can get to a more decent rank without playing so much, but I think they went over the top. Something between the speed of BF2 and CoD4 I think would be the best.

The point of ranks shouldn't be to give everyone who plays a good rank. They should be in the game to reward people who are good. Sadly, CoD4 gives everyone the highest rank and that rank isn't even earned through skill. There is absolutely no point of ranks in CoD4.usmarine2005 wrote:

I'd like to play a game with ranks where 1/3 of people are under sergeant, 1/3 of people are sergeants, 1/3 of people are officers. But I know that'll never happen, because people hate not getting ranked up. Whats even more stupid is that these people, who basically play the multiplayer for the rank, are the first to accuse other players of having no life.

Jord, jord, jord. He's just saying that in BF2, it was pretty damn hard to rank up without either being really good or spending a lot of time on the game. Usually, people were high ranked because of the latter.
I for one like CoD4's promotion rate. It's fast but it keeps you feeling rewarded, and you sitll have 10 levels of Prestige mode.

Not on PC...prestige mode is missing.
It's not missing, they just didn't put it inRohirm wrote:

You can rank up to level 55 a total of ten times...
i got 5 star in about 2 mins.
prestige mode?
^^^^
After you get the max rank (commander) you can start over at private again in exchange for a special medal thingy. This feature however is only available for PS3 and 360.

bs. Consolers get all the fun. Just cos they gotta buy a new one for 400 quid every other year.
Agreed, ranking based on good play, i.e. k/d ratio (possibility of dropping rank if you're k/d declines), pts to time played ratio (for ppl w/lives), headshots, etc. I think if you make ranks challenging ppl will play w/in reason. That's partially why WOW & BF2 are a success. It really does add some prestige to the rank. They didn't put a lotta thought into the cod4 rankings, why? Developers know multiplayer is an important part of the game, so in the future this formula will hopefully be dealt w/more seriously. Some modder might have to lead the way. The formula should at least be smarter than the bcs.Spearhead wrote:

or games like BF2 promote hackers and carrier bombing macro using pussies in order to climb the ranks. Ya...real special.makeuser wrote:

I'd probably bomb the carrier if there weren't ranks. It's a great laugh.usmarine2005 wrote:

No I'm actually going to keep to the point this time. I'm saying you'd probably find similar gameplay without ranks. People would still spawnkill/ baserape and whatever else people would do for "stats".usmarine2005 wrote:

This is 100% true. Ranks or no ranks, there will ALWAYS be douchebags out there.jord wrote:

but that's a the pt, a new formula or reward system wouldn't reward ppl for spawn killing & base raping. you must train the douche bag to be less douche baggy.
So would being a kakand armor whore make you less douche baggy?makeuser wrote:
