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

No ranks, no stats.

No ranks, had enough in 2142. Promotes cheating imo.

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

I say no ranking system unless......

Unless it's something that EA does with their regular ranking system.  In other words, if EA at some point says that they are open to the idea of adding the mods to the ranking stats, then fine.  Otherwise, if it's a standalone ranking system that is apart from the basic 2142 rankings, then no.   The only reason I would say yes, if it were part of the official rankings is, then it would draw a ton of players.

In my opinion, the rankings have mostly increased players interest right at first, but once we all get to a certain level (got all the unlocks) then "who cares".  The down side to rankings are more cheaters/stat padders and fewer people that will play mods ("cause mods are unranked").

No permanent stats are needed, but I would like to see the end of round stats with my preferred weapon, accuracy etc.

I've earned enough ranks over the last three years to last me another seven.. >_<
Although its nice to see a pretty icon by your name, it just promotes stat padding and such.
If you want to add unlockables, maybe add medals and ribbons for feats such as 5 kills in one grenade explosion... which will give you an extra grenade to carry when you spawn or something of the like... I dunno. *shrugs*

Thanks, for the support, I was just worried when I read that in the features list.

I think there needs to be some sort of reward for your points, even if its just a running taly of your global score its still nice to be able to see it.
