Topic: I am not in favor of adding a ranking system, are you?

The devs have mentioned a ranking system, I am not even sure if this is possible, but even if it is, I won't like it. A mod is more vaunrable to hackers than the full game, and a ranking system tends to encourage hackers. I am also not in favor of unlocking items, for me that doesn't work in a Star wars setting. The ranking system also makes me feel under pressure sometimes, as I cannot experiment (Like parking a corrvet outside the hanger to the hoth ISD [Try it, it is dead fun]) as I feel I wil lower my rank. I am however, all for any medels/pins/ribbons that could be added, but I think that is unlikely.

Re: I am not in favor of adding a ranking system, are you?

No, no and no. Keep it out. For once since 1942 i prefer relaxed and teamplay-based games. Since ranking was introduced in BF2 the whole BF series felt changed to me, though it was better for those who are concerned about earning pictures (medals) with no value. I played 2142 to unlock weapons, because they left me no choice.

On the other hand, ranking systems encourage people to play BF more often, though it also makes them obsessed in some cases to become the number 1 in every field, often acting in a careless attitude towards others, all because of those damn numbers.

I tell you, playing unranked, everybody being the same, everything unlocked and without the pressure of having a good K/D ratio makes it alot more relaxed for you, offering you the chance to enjoy the game itself, not another contest.

Though i'm sure, there will always be players who disagree, but i'd guess they are far more hardcore gamers then i am. smile

No ranking, I don't like this, I just want to play for fun, not under pressure of achieving things

No more ranks, stats, etc. Lets keep it fun and team based, please. I'd hate to see FS become the mess that vanilla 2142 is. Quite frankly I just enjoy being in the SW universe and trying to win the round. Last thing I want to see is spawn campers, stat padders, cheaters, hackers etc.

Re: I am not in favor of adding a ranking system, are you?

i totally agree, no stats for this! what made me bored of 2142 was the stats and how i felt i couldnt do fun stuff with high risks of getting killed cuz i would get a bad K/D
