It said its gonna take me 80 days to get promoted. Since my new computer needs the hard drive replaced and this computer can't even run bf 2 without crashing. Thanks for the advice though. Ill try that.

back when i was a first sarge i was like i am never going to sergent major, and it took me a month and a bit to get the points, my honest advice play commander alot, and when your not play medic.

What i did during my long commanding time i just picked the kits i wanted to get expert on but didnt have the time, so i commanded whilst using these kits.

Also with my high commander score i got to the commander rank of 769 in the world which isnt to bad i suppose.

Bu think of it this way, once you reach that really long gap its only 10k to 2ndLT, after getting ym sergent major i went hard at work on my 2ndLT.

Stay off non city maps, play sharqi with a mate and get the MEC chopper, be gunner and just spawn rape TV station, or play karkand and armour/medic whore or play support.

Hope you get your new uber rank soon

the best way to get theres is having fun this applys to all ranks not just 1st sarge. The points will come racking in if you are having fun.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

I got FrstSgt and quit playing for a bit. Or atleast, played a helluva lot less. It's been a couple months and I'm only at 30,200 something.

I ranked up yesterday to First Sergent YEAH!!!  Now I begin the slow treck to Master...it took me 9 months to get here, don't think I will see Master with BF2142 coming out later this year....although my point production has improved a ton in the last few months (wish I could eliminate stats before corporal)..

I just keep playing different kits and going for the different medals, badges, etc.

At first, yes. Then my holidays came up and I've been playing nearly non stop (my past 7 days of gaming on Xfire reached 81 hours of BF2 at one stage) And anyway, At the start of  last week, I needed 18 000 points......Now I need 7000 soething. Soooo close, yet so far.

I think this is a good rank to sharpen your skills and focus on awards. The previous ranks are used just to kill and people become focused on their points not their skills. This rank forces the individual to focus on their skills because points are sooooo far away. I agree that 30,000 points is a kick in the rear though. Focus on your awards, skills, and medals, that should get you through.

agree. think im on 24000 at the mo, to be honest i kind of dont bother about the rank now more about trying to finish off getting some medals(which im quickly running out of), i dont think il be playing 2142 and stick to bf2 but even then im sure im gona get bored of bf2 again (i did a few months ago then got back into it) + all my uni mates arent playing as much now bc of leaving uni and stuff. so who knows if il ever reach that 50,000 mark

IMO that overly large gap is to allow people to get badges for Sgt Major just like the 12k gap between gunnery sgt and  1st sgt, and if that is the case; EA severly under-estimates the average BF2 player

I'm stting at 32,000 and yea it's a drag.
However I suck so badly that I think I may be able to get some more experts in before I get to 50,000 points.I thought that EA might  change both the 30,000 point gap and the time element for Expert Armour in 1.3, but guess they thought otherwise.
I'm going to buy AF so that will invlove a bit of learning which will pass the time,may even learn to fly a chopper.
At the rate I accumulate points though I may never see another promotion,lol.

Yeah, no fun. I am currently at 40000 pts. I think the second lt. should be at 40000 (lol), because next is at 60000. This is the biggest gap in the game.
