What are Ranks and how do they work?

[FlyDogFish]

Come on, give us the silly ranks. I'd love to knife artful dodgers do death, blast infamous infiltrators off cliffs, rocket armchair generals, roadkill over some lucky lieutenant generals, tanks smash some not so mr. nice guys and above all, wingclip some pesky privates.

[runcekas]

Yeah you could've thought anything more interesting than specialist...

General OMG HAX!

I agree lol

should have some very fancy names for highest ranks "general of the army" or... fun stuff like "master staff sergeant 3rd class" or just take the easy way out and collect noobs wanting to be the "master chief" or "captain crunch" or "private parts" "GeneralC U"(second part is their name) XD... or add a clan feature, for yet another 'tag' ...

I wish there were perks in the rank system, BFH team, you decide what the perks are

[Smart viking]

i think this is smart and fun!

[bwtw77]

i rekon i good way to use ranks is


rank up=unlock weapons at store

[ScottyClose]

I personally think that the ranking system is great, it doesn't mean a whole lot to some players, but for others its an extra incentive to strive to receive that higher rank to be admired by others. Although I think the ranks should be changed to something with more of a comedic value to match the game. The ranks should correspond to the way you kill. For example, A commando that kills a lot using body shot can have the rank body blaster whilst a commander who gets a substantial amount of headshots should get something along the lines of headshot honcho.

you are TOTALLY correct.
even on one of the orginal videos when this game was in beta it dose state that they DO NOT promote no lifers who spend 8hrs a day and all night gaming
this is a fact tthat the dev team HAVE to take into point.

[JoeriSama]

I like ranks, bit I would love to see those funny ranks. This is just a bit to boring to actually work for ;p

[extreme_killer2]

how do i see my own rank

[One_Moo]

i think it would be better to have the ranking system like this:


* Rank 1 - Private
* Rank 2 - Private II
* Rank 3 - Private III
* Rank 4 - Specialist
* Rank 5 - Specialist II
and so on...

and maby set each rank by 20,000points

As characters move up the ranks, there should be some sort of compensation for getting better; ie..an extra HP, or something built into the characters defense that gives them a slight edge over lower ranks but not over higher ranks. Otherwise its pointless (other than to how that you kick ass in a fight) to move up and the ranks have no meaning.

[Jamener]

Nothing should come with the ranks. They should only show experience (or how much you've stat padded) and be something to brag about rather than giving the more experienced an advantage. I see it all the time MMORPGs - they give all the powerups to the old players. That's fine but what you'll be left with is a small group of friends who are unbeatable. Now that's no fun to the new and upcoming players. So here's you're choice: attract and possibly keep new players while risking boring the old players (but that can easily be fixed with new patches and maps) or give old players powerups making the game unattracting to new, underpowered players who can do nothing but die.

As for the rank names I agree with the lack of silliness that BFH is known for.

[Zalastax]

Ranks shouldn't be based on damage.
It should be based on K/D or damage per game or exp per game!
