...its a long way to go till sergeant major, 23000 more global points, pfhh..
willl you quit before or how do you intend to spend this time? practicing a certain skill? just having fun? going for special medals? working on your stats? could have made a poll also...
i need a little motivation -gimme some

for my part: improve my aviator skills and maybe go sometimes back to chopper, which in my opinion can be the most powerfull weapon in the game, and flying it can as well be a lot of fun, if you have a good gunner

Play how you wanna play, the points will come with it.

I'm going to start going for all the expert kit badges, and while I'm at it i'll try to etch away at all the time required for those other badges (1700 hrs sheesh...) I honestly don't know if I will make it all the way to 50,000 or not before something better comes along. Good luck to you.

It is a lot of points, but if you set goals for yourself it won't seem as daunting to you. If you haven't got all the basics or veterans, you can always work towards those. It seems EA is planning to change the requirements for the general ranks from all Experts to all Veterans, so you may as well get a head start on that. Or accumulate time to get a specific award: an expert badge, a medal, or a couple ribbons. There's enough stuff to do so that those 30,000 points won't seem so bad after all.

From someone who's definitely been there before, good luck in your pursuit to three stripes up and four down!

sorry mate, i didn´t mean how to rack up 23000 points in the shortest time. i was just interested what kind of motivation u have after some 100 hrs played, and what still is challenging you.

i have never really used the heli's or planes much so spending a lot of my time playing around with them.

but generally i am just having fun!! playing the game to win each round with my team, capturing control points, healing, supplying, sniping, fixing, whoring, using my whit, fooling the privates on the other team "where did he go? i saw him walking round that building but now he has not come out the other side" *knife* "o crap i am dead"

i do enjoy annoying all the enemy tanks and apcs with my c4, using the old explosive car gag but not killing myself in the process.

I'm about to go home for the summer and leave my school, which means no internet connection to my gaming pc (which I would have to say will be a bit more productive). To be honest, I'm probobly done playing BF2 Online for a good while, but I did get to get a few vet bages in the last couple of days and last night I kicked ass on Wake and got a gold star, so I figure thats a good way to go out for a while .

Well.. I say.. find a nice 32 or 64 slots karkand server, pick medic and revive (also shoot the enemy, else people might call u a medic whore) U get points this way the fastest, and if u don't like being a medic, try being a support and throw as many bags around

I'm in a similar situation like you eagleray69 - actually we only have 790 points differing us

Anyway, what *I* am doing is exactly what YOU are doing. I've been buffing up on my aviator skills and actually got the aviator ribbon a few days ago (19 or 15 kills in jet) so things are coming along. Took the veteran pistol and knife badge same night as well and is working on veteran engineer and assault as we speak. I'm an admin so a lot of time goes doing just that as well.

I'm just gonna do what RunDje is saying: just play, have fun and the points will come a long! Earning those points doesn't nearly take as long as it did anyway.

Good luck buddy!

Trying to get 100 hours on classes that i'm good at so i can get expert badges. I figured out anyway by the time i'm near 50,000 2142 will be out so i'll probably give up on BF2 then. I wish they gave you more of a reason to get the next rank. Its stupid you need 30,000 from 1 rank to another when all the others are at most 15,000.

It all depends on how much you play. I managed to make the 30.000 leap in points in about 6-7 weeks, but then again I play about 4 hours a day, and the entire day in weekends. It would be nice if there could be a new rank at 35.000 points just to make it seem a little less daunting for those who play less.

I basically managed to accumulate 30.000 points in 6 weeks by doing what i'm best at:

-Medic/Support infantry combat (MG36/g63e/ak-101 ftw)
-Flying Jets. Although since i've made the gap i've started playing on kubra servers more, f18 vs. mig is much more fun rather than simply flying around in your j10 without a worry in the world, shrugging off any f-35 that tries to kill you and racking in the points

Lot's of awards to take and ratios to improve.

You could try some of the other maps. Pick one of the least played maps and only play that for some time, soon you will find new tactics for that map and it will become more fun.

Totally agree with you on that one! I spend more time watching re-runs of Golden Girls then I do in ground/air defense.

Did I actually say that out loud? D'OH!

my motivation: having fun in choppers and planes, as sniper or c4 n00b.

in a round, find someone thats easy to kill and keep pwning him, its very funny.

when flying alone in a chopper tv-guide incomming planes, its always worth the reactings, last week i got this reacting after saying 'pwned' he sayd: yeah but you still suck.
(if you want to do that aim at the buttom of the plane, otherwise it goes through sometimes.)
