Ii decided to start this thread because i felt certain gameplay aspects of BF2 which are arousing a certain amount of confusion have not been adequately covered (or at least not on this forum)
BF2 ranks 101:
this is what i know of the BF2 ranking system so far (feel free to add to this)
in battlefield 2 there are certain privleges that come with increased rank, access to better weapons/preference when applying for the position of commander and possibly others that i am not yet aware of.
in order to incease your rank you need to earn points you need to play on "ranked" servers (which tend to be few/full and slightly laggy, ea say they are working on it...)
these are the ranks as i am aware of them at this point:
private: 0 points
private 1st class: 500 points
lance-corpral: 1000 points
corpral: 9500 points
Sergeant:
Staff Sergeant:
Gunnery Sergeant:
Master Sergeant:
First Sergeant:
Master Gunnery Sergeant:
Sergeant Major:
Sergeant Major of the Corps:
(i am not yet aware of what level of points is required for the higher ranks, last time i checked only one person had reached the rank of corpral)
weapon unlocks:
you get ONLY ONE weapon unlock per increase in rank starting at lance-corpral (1000 points) so choose carefully, you can't change your mind without starting over. (btw you need to restart BF2 after gaining a promotion for the upgraded weapon to take effect) once you have upgraded a weapon you have the option of improved or original weapon in the spawn screen.
Badges, medals and ribbons, as far as i have been able to tell these have no effect on rank, they merely demonstrate skill or proficiency in certain aspects of gameplay and there is at least one badge for every player type.
