What's the point?

Master/First Sergeant is as high as most people will get, beyond that the time/reward ratio is so low that only padders and cheaters are likely to get there.

Also, it's worth noting that ranks above 1st lt are not exactly likely to be fighting in battles the size of the ones in BF2 (a small platoon on each side)

Next Rank: Master Gunnery Sergeant
You are not yet eligible for the advanced rank of Sergeant Major because you are missing the awards: Basic Aviator Badge.
13.61%
Score: 6,806 of 50,000. At your historical rate, you should earn 43,194 in 1522 days (or 634:25:57 straight).


have you got that much time to spend on it? that's about 27 days playing, non stop.

Hint: you'll die in about 3 days, by china's usual death rate

I started a new account, to unlock different guns. Much quicker.

A big THIS :above: .
Its ridiculous adding more unlocks, as I know I'm only like 1500 points (If that).. but 200000? Thats really really crazy. Why are EA adding pants like this when the server browser could still be fixed up so much more!?

Because by the time you encounter the borked browser you've already payed your money so they don't make a profit on it. Bringing out a pay-per-patch on the other hand lines EAs pockets. See also: The Sims.

they arnt adding new unloicks, just making gaining ranks easier, unless they add the new weapons from euro horse to your unlocks, but you couldn't unlock them straight away, proberly, you would need to unlock the normal & sf weapons first

well the unlocks are just for the Anti-Tank and Snipers who didn't get a second unlock with SF, so it will just be like the rest of the second unlocks.

You said the magic words "Anti-Tank second unlock", Europe will have to be got. Plus sniping is fun.
