For the record I searched a couple of times before starting this thread.
It seems as though the global ranking system, while a good idea just made BF2 way to competitive, attracted some questionable tactics and the ranked server policy has kind of killed off modding for this game. I was wondering about any ideas for a different or improved system from anybody?
My idea was that:-
*Ranks should be removed, total global score should be removed.
*SPM, K/D ratio should stay but be kit/vehicle specific. All stats would be recorded for each kit BESIDES total score.... (eg. Total revives and heals would be recorded for medic, but not the points gained during a match for them)
*Badges, Medals and Ribbons should stay. Good fun to get a veteran/expert badge in anything.
*UNLOCKS WOULD HAVE KIT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
eg.
=>So to get a gun like the PKM, you have to be a good support player first.
Second tier unlocks would require different things soo...
PKM requirements = K : D ratio with support small arms above 1 and x amount of resupply points...
MG36 requirements = Accuracy above 15% (personal joke... I'm a crap shot...) and x amount of resupply points IAR...
I'm sure if anybody wanted I could come up with a whole load of other examples for other kits...
Anyways, post your suggestions and stuff because I'm interested to see what other people think. Anybody out there have any other ideas on where the ranking system could go next?
-EDIT-
Added summat that I forgot...
