Fantastic! It's always good to know what's the upcoming stuff, even if it's not 100% certain.

I think you should get two unlocks per rank because otherwise no one will get all of the for a while, and it takes to long to get the reallly good ones. either that or insert "bronze" ranks before the silver ones.

Yeah Lance Corporal should come before Corporal or at least it does in the British army. another thing looking on the Pre order page for Bf2142 it says that u can be a medic Sniper ... this gets me thinking as all the medic unlocks are on the Assualt class if the Medic items are general unlock or are only for a certain classes ?

P.S. Getting rid of the medic Class really annoyed me has it annoyed anyone else or is it just me ?

Ok then what the hell is the point of the "free rank up" for the vet program?
I can get PFC in one game, and gunner silver in a great gaming day!

Its a marketing ploy to make sure BF2 Players buy BF2142 ... anyway any unlock is a good unlock. I'm just at a loss to which class to go to now as i can't go medic . still wondering about the med unlocks..

anyway i'm curious about the rewards for each promotion whether it will be a new unlock per 2 promotions or something similar

thanks for the link mate.

the thing I would like to know is...  The Titan Destruction Achievement Badge requires...

'In One Round: 2 Titan Consoles Destroyed'

does that mean you have to destroy it by yourself, or do you have to do a certain amount of damage to it, or the last person to shoot it before it blows up, or can you shoot it once and it still counts as you destroying the console???

For all those who didn't already see this from the numbers, here's a cheezy graph showing the progression in required points-per-rank. Just a handy-dandy visual aid. Forgive my poor Excel skills...

Actually for this one there really isn't an x-axis. You're right in that there wouldn't be a constant factor that would be identical for every player. The intent was to show the nature of the curve in points required. I don't remember enough trig to tell you what the equation for the curve is but it's obviously quadratic.

I've re-graphed it, this time by adding a linear X-axis. I numbered the axis 1-40, one number corresponding to each rank. This should give a more accurate representation of the curve.

Another reason for me not to buy 2142.

I like the style of the ranks, but yet again, you need tons of points just to get a high rank, it sucks.

Also, why don't they just round of the points, instead of making them random numbers? Instead of 12,435 or whatever, make it 13,000.

Also, I'm kinda P/Oed that the awards require so much times/kills etc.

I know it's easy for those of you who play for hours on end, but people who don't have as much time to play BF2 will be spending hours just trying to get a simple award. I think when I get 2142, I'llg of or the real easy awards, just to say I got them, but once I got them, I'll just play for fun.

tell me about it. & the thing is u get ONE unlock per rank so u have to work ur butt off to get all the unlocks so I guess choose wisely unless they get their heads out of their butts & make it at least 2 per rank.
