Posted July 2, 200520 yr I was talking with Poptart and she said that some like some of you guys are ranked in the Top 5, and I don't want to go against what Poptart said, but I don't see you guys there. Ranked Top 5 I see =BOD=Grim, =|UH|=ryan, [MyORC]-AnDouilLE, BoB|SuicideSkippy, |LAB|Monkeymagic. Then again, what do I know! D= So I was just wondering what everyone was ranked on the Leader Boards in BFHQ in Battlefield 2. I'm currently ranked exactly 100 in Global Score, 70 in Teamwork, and 160 in Combat. This is my online stats page at BF2 Tracker: http://www.bf2tracker.com/bf2_userprofile.php?bf2id=43354823 Here's some screenies: http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/4954/bf2rank5or.th.jpg http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/8660/bf2profile7mz.th.jpg http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/5059/bf2medals7hc.th.jpg As you can see from my profile, I'm about to reach my next rank and be able to unlock my second gun. This was very hard to do. To put it in perspective, you need 1000 global points to reach Lance Corporal, which is the third rank, to get your first unlockable, and you need 11000 global points to reach Corporal and unlock your second. I have already unlocked the L85A1 for the Medic, and I don't need another gun for assaulting. That means I don't want the G3A3 or the G36C. That leaves the PKM for Support, the M95 for the Sniper, the DOA-12 for the Anti-Tank, and the Jackhammer for the Engineer. I don't really want something that would limit my range like a shotgun, so I'm leaning towards either the PKM or the M95. Which would you guys suggest I get? Summary: Post your Battlefield 2 rank and tell me which gun I should unlock next.
July 2, 200520 yr get the anti-tank gun, since it's always good to have a good anti-infantry weapon for anti-tank (if that's what that gun is) like, I always play medic, but if there is some tank guy just goign around mowing down everyone (or camping) I'll switch to anti-tank and take him out. I haven't played in a couple of days, so I'm slightly behind... here are my stats so far http://bf2stats.ausgamers.com/stats/44529431/ not a whole lot I know, I only play as medic, and as you can see, just barely used any other class
July 2, 200520 yr So, what you guys are saying here is the longer I wait to get this game the harder it is going to be for me because I have no rank?
July 2, 200520 yr No not really. You get unlockable weapons that are slightly better than the starting weapons but not hugely overpowered. I can fairly easily kill a guy with an unlocked weapon with just the basic ones. It's more of an incentive to play more and just get badges than anything else. Youre rank allows you to take precedence over others when youre trying to become commander. Thats about the only thing that is affected by it.
July 2, 200520 yr Author Erm, I meant "What are you ranked" and not "What is your rank" =P Like, I'm ranked 100, what about you guys. And what did Poptart mean about the Top 5 thing? And yeah the unlockable weapons are different, not necessarily better, than the defaults. Some sacrifice power for accuracy, and some are completely different (Sub-Machine Gun versus a Semi-Automatic Shotgun).
July 2, 200520 yr No idea what my rank is. I bet it's in the thousands .... . I just broke 5k global last night. I'm now around 5300 global points. Most of the time I get on a .... sorry to say **** team that doesn't do nothing to help any of us. Once in awhile i can get a good squad going and we get a little bit of help from the rest of the team. Hard to find a random server with good players to form a squad. I read in the File Planet forums that once corpral you get two weapons unlocks ontop of your current one. The source said he knows that for sure. Who knows I certainly don't. The source also mentioned that theres another way to get weapons unlocked but he didn't know for sure. He just may very well be a smacktard....I don't know. Let us know Kak how many weapon unlocks you get. Would be nice to beable to get a full squad of us TAC going on a ranked server. That was my plan coming into this game. EA really pissed in my tea on that idea. They should be punished dearly for their hostile takeover.
July 2, 200520 yr hmm, im lagging around at 3300 global score, but I didnt get to play much yesterday or it looks like today, hopefully I can push 5000+ by tomorrow or Tues. Honestly I have just been playing to try and get the some more basic badges, right now ground defense, aviator, and knife are still out of reach. There just havent been any opportunities to use the ground defense weapons and while I do have a sizeable number of knife kills, the opportunity to get 10 in a round hasnt arisen. I just suck at planes when it comes to aviation

July 2, 200520 yr So, what you guys are saying here is the longer I wait to get this game the harder it is going to be for me because I have no rank? Don't worry about the ranks Klink, because most of those folks are playing for the "kiddie" medals, and to unlock different (worthless) weapons. Now, there are those of us who play to enjoy the teamwork and comaraderie that comes with the game also. These are typically older folks, but there are a few adults who like the "kiddie" medals also. I think it adds a bit of arcadeness to the game, like popping the balloons at a State fair and winning a stuffed animal. When you play in most of the "ranked" servers, most of the players are playing for the badges and medals anyway, and they are not exercising much teamwork at all. I myself enjoy the game for strategy, and tactical deployment, and I love to fly the helicopters. I also like to sneak in behind enemy lines and cap an objective point as well.
July 2, 200520 yr you havent played on many ranked servers then gator- lots of people i have played with practice teamwork since teamwork=points more than just going by yourself and fighting for medals, since a lot of these 'kiddie' prizes require teamwork in order to complete
July 2, 200520 yr Author Gator that was kind of a cheap shot you took at me =\ I'm afraid you have an innacurate perception of people who play on ranked servers. Please do not categorize and label people who do something you're not fond of doing =( And for the record I see a lot of teamwork on Ranked servers, with everyone in squads and giving orders and stuff like that. Oh and lagnhard, I just reached Corporal and I got one weapon unlock. Still trying to decide what I will unlock.
July 2, 200520 yr while I can definitely see where you are coming from Gator, I would actually have to say that ranked servers are actually the best places to be for teamwork and tactics since most if not all medals actually REQUIRE that you that you work together to earn them. In fact, on the servers where people play without teamwork it is hardest to earn medals, awards, etc. much less have fun. The thing is, most people who dont feel like playing as a team go play on un ranked servers, with the TAC server being a rare and welcome exception (my best games so far have been on the TAC server, because win or lose, there is always good teamplay and hence more fun). Please dont be so harsh on people who play on ranked servers, because I believe they are just as committed to teamplay, if not more so, than any other player. The most fun I have had so far in this game was when i lead a squad that was so disruptive to rear enemy positions that the commander kept singling us out above all other targets for artillery. If thats not tactical, Im not sure what is : ) All this being said, I have to confess that one day I decided to get the pistol combat badge, and that required me being a little bit of a selfish player for the first half of a round, but after that I was a teamplayer again, I swear! Oh yeah, and the L85A is a much better medic weapon than the default M16, its worth unlocking for the increased accuracy, which as Im sure you can attest is a valued commodity in BF2
July 2, 200520 yr Author Good post Defcon, although kinda hard to read =P Go for the knife badge next, it's so much fun ambushing an enemy squad with just a knife. And yes the L85A1 is godlike, although considerably weaker than the Kalashnikov series of guns.
July 2, 200520 yr Oh yeah, and the L85A is a much better medic weapon than the default M16, its worth unlocking for the increased accuracy, which as Im sure you can attest is a valued commodity in BF2 its acctualy the least accurate rifle and the weakest, ive seen the code for it. just because it has a scope doesnt mean its accurate
July 2, 200520 yr you havent played on many ranked servers then gator- lots of people i have played with practice teamwork since teamwork=points more than just going by yourself and fighting for medals, since a lot of these 'kiddie' prizes require teamwork in order to complete OK, fair enough, so lets battle it out and see who has the best team. We will have a battle against the guys who have won the most medals/ranks vs. some of us old, but seasoned, Battlefield players to see who is still alive at the end. Date and time to be announced.

July 3, 200520 yr Thanks for the heads up on the L85A, I always wondered why it seemed a little impotent (5+ hits = no kill = wth?)
July 3, 200520 yr the anti tank has a 12 round semi auto shotgun that reloads per shell. Its way better than the Jackhammer, plus anti tank gets body armor. I want my Jackhammer to hold more ammo.

I want my Jackhammer to hold more ammo. jackhammer is deadly though, 2 shots at medium range kills, and ive killed people from far away with it too
July 4, 200520 yr yeah, but it needs more rounds. the anti tank semi shotgun is so much better. give us engineers some leverage here. anti tank has a freaking rocketlauncher. we have at mines, but teammates are too stupid to NOT drive into a red skull.
July 4, 200520 yr Would be nice to beable to get a full squad of us TAC going on a ranked server. That was my plan coming into this game. EA really pissed in my tea on that idea. They should be punished dearly for their hostile takeover. It's possible, I've seen full squads from other clans together. It just takes a little patience to get everybody in the game and on the same side.
