IMO it was worth it {taking the time to meet all the requirements - and most of them before 1.3}
Despite making general recently I actually had more fun earning all the awards - even thou you tend not get high points while going after certain medals, ribbons, and badges. Just give it time and it will come to you and when you earn it you'll be doing that happy dance that should only be done in private

Happy Kaboom

Well i do not see anything high about sitting in a tank 100 hours. That really does not require any kind of skill.

Why are you always talking about vehicles? There's 7 different kits to choose from...You don't HAVE to play in a vehicle 24/7...

Now fuck off and die

stef, the requirements were slashed down for people like you.
Higher rank requires more EXPERIENCE, not better k/d or spm.
you dont want to spend 100 hours FIGHTING in a tank?, then DONT do it. Enjoy your current rank.
Before, to be a 4 * general required to be expert at all, not very easy, now, is easy, just look at the top 20 of karkand whores how many of them are generals, some of them has never played other maps, or SF, or EF...

They shouldn't make the ranks easier to get, if they do that, anyone who plays long periods of time would be a general, not necessarily having the skills to obtain that rank, but rather time.

QFE

There's no point in having ranks, medals and badges that are too easy to get, otherwise they're devalued completely; as it is some of the Expert badges have been dumbed down too much already (Expert Sniper Combat and Expert Sniper Specialist are both really too easy).

Reduce the requirements for armor badges ???
then what, one armor kill, inmediatly expert?
there is armor at every map, play euroforces, theres a lot there.
You dont flat your ass inside a tank, you fight the enemy armors and rape the ground troops so your team can advance and win.

Someone show him the original requirements for general. Or how about the requirements for kits when the game came out. 1,000 hours in each kit.

And while we're there show him the point requirements for the ranks in 1.0.

Yes, shortening everything so people could feel more content with bf2 because ea and dice were about to shove another game in their face.

Well as you guys know the requirements for General are very high, and in my opinion completely insane. Look at all of those hours, you have to be in a vehicle. Since the rank General came I have wanted to become one, but I am not the type that spends loads of time in vehicles. Look in my stats. Do you think it would get changed, and would you ever have a chance of becoming one.

I'm a General nub! Leave the rank alone!

From the look of your stats, an average captain. And to put my opinion in this, obtaining general is not a hard task. Like another person quoted earlier, you only need your vet badges for vehicles, not expert. The rate i play this game, I'm not going to see general status for at least another year, but you don't hear me bitch'in about it. So in conclusion, why don't you just play the game and not worry about whether or not you're going to make general.

If you want general status so bad, why don't you set goals for your self.

I'm currently a colonel, dont really care for getting the 37 some odd hours in a jet for general. If it comes it comes, just like every other badge and rank ive gotten.

battlefield is a game about infantry AND vehicle battles - it's ok if you don't like vehicles but don't expect to become a general - because a "true" bf2 general is one who masters all expects of the game

true that...this is what I wanted to say. The expectation when you see a general is that he can do anything in the game well.

I'm going to have the points and the vehicle requirements for 3 star before I get the time required for 1 star... The requirements are not too high and they are easy to get, just have to play less IO and more real maps.

I think the 400h in a tank is the biggest setback... aviator, heli, and transport are well within reach.
