If there wer no ranks, data stored online, stats, awards, unlocks, etc etc, all the bells and whistles there are now, how much would you play bf2. This does not mean no commander, squads, and spawning on squad leader, and all of those feratures, just the ones to do with ranking

I would play it exactly the same.  Given the choice of ranks/stats or none, I would rather have the ranks, but I would play just as much if there weren't any.  The game is pretty damn fun regardless.

Oh yeah, forgot my view.

Well, I voted A bit less, because as burito said there would not be anything to look forward to getting, but then maybe people would play in teams a bit more, there would be no stat padding, and perhaps a bit less tking for vehicles

Not A LOT less. But I defiantly would play a little less.

I knwo one of the first things that got me really into this game was the fact that ALL OF MY STATS (if Im playing in Ranked Servers) would be kept so look at for later, and keep on adding and adding up.

I probably would of already mostly quit playing BF2 if there where no stats and ranks. But I would still play it and play Special Forces when it came out. Just not as much.

I would have played it exactly the same.

Ranks are exactly what they are : A BONUS!

If I wanted to play a MMO, I would go out and buy WoW...
I mean CSS doesn't have ranks, yet i've played it for 260 hours +.

Do you get my point?  Awards/Ranks are nice... But not my reason for playign the game

I will play the same, because this is the first game to incorporate the ranking system. Look at the others we've played -- people are still playing BF42!

I'd be interested in finding out of how many people say that the stat tracking things(rank/ribbon/medals) dont matter and they'd play the same amount, how much of you play extensively on non-ranked servers?  I mean, if you would play the same amount then you're essentially saying you are playing for the gameplay and not the bonuses.  And since you're playing for the gameplay, playing in a ranked/non-ranked server would be no different.

Ah... the truth! Never thought of that until now. True.

I think ranks/unlocks are good to bring in some of the CS crowd.  I play the same amount as much as I did with BF1942.  BF1942 didn't have an integrated stats system, but there was bftracks.com (monthly performance stats).

Noooo for anyone who can remember Delta Force: Land Warrior had a ranking system not too different from this one

But for some reason Novalogic didn't put it into DF:BHD DF:BHD:TS or J-Ops or J-Ops:E, I remember cause I was about 13 and I used to play medic alot then when I got the purple heart and said cool I got the purple heart someone bluntly told me that it wasn't good :'(

I played BF1942 a fair amount without any type of ranking or stats tracking.  Although there was a indpendent stats website set up that let you track your number of kills, flag caps, etc. and even had clan groupings.

I would still play it, but not nearly as much.  It's weird though because I played CS and DOD for years (and still do from time to time) and there's no ranking system in those games.  CS was just...amazing.
