Only about 20 hours to reach commander the ranks are probably 100x easier than Bf2

Ranking up should be a challenge.  BF2 got it right imo.

I really like the quick rank too...Maybe I've spent too much time on the NES but I don't like the whole having to work years just to earn everything available in the game...

First its just nice to have everything available for use so early, second I can earn all my ranks even with casual game play.

Mostly just nice to have everything unlocked.

they're a bit too easy, but I can't (or rather, I refuse to) dedicate 400 hours of my life to sitting in a e-tank just to get an e-medal, so I like it, and the challenges are perfect.

I think that it should take like 100 hours to reach the highest rank in CoD4. But you get all the unlockable weapons by rank 35 and from then on you only get challenges.

Agreed. The ranks don't mean much in CoD4 anyways. Some rounds I score higher than five star generals or those folks in prestige, and other rounds i fail miserably.

Been playing multi since Friday night and I'm like a Gunny II.

Ranks in CoD4 mean nothing. Ranks in Battlefield 2 mean that, the higher you are, the more time you wasted on e-awards.

Yeah I don't care about ranks much, I just want all the guns unlocked. Can't wait to get my hands on the M14/MP44 with the M1911 (or w/e) and go CoD 2 on everyone's arse. (Well the M14 is like the Garand)

Ranks in CoD4 are a tad bit more pointless than ranks in BF2.  But they're both pointless, they take no effort to actually earn them.  Just takes time.

What?  You love it because there is no challenge to get to the top level of the game?

Who the hell cares about rank? Like I said, some rounds I have better scores and KDRs than five star generals, and other times I don't. Rank means nothing except cool-looking insignia and having more perks / guns.

Ranking up is way too easy. We really need prestige mode on the PC.

hah, I think you got that exactly opposite.  Seems like kids these days only wan't to play a game where they get achivements, e-pats on the back, and a stat page to masturbate over....While back in the day we played the same game you could beat in one sitting over and over and over cause it was damn fun.

TBH I think CS did it best. Everything available in 10 minutes if you did good, nothing available after even a year if you did bad and every time you play its a fresh start

I've been playing the xbox 360 version for 7 hours and I'm Major.  It's so much easier to rank up in cod4 then bf2.
