I don't know whether this is new to you,
but for the case it isn't I post it here.

I just looked around a bit and found the folder with the bf2ranks.
And besides the known ranks, there were some other ranks too:

[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/03.jpg[/img]
[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/04.jpg[/img]
[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/05.jpg[/img]
[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/06.jpg[/img]
[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/07.jpg[/img]
[img]http://kts.team-nn.de/addranks/08.jpg[/img]

So does anybody know the meaning of this?
(Because I don't understand why these ranks are there but not used)

the images you pasted range from colonel to general of the armies but the question is why there is a gap between 2nd lt - colonel

Well A Review I read in a magazine before BF2 came out was this:

"players will be able to shoot, drive fly, and bomb there way through the ranks of battlefield 2, to eventually attain the ultimate rank of General"

So Maybe those are going to be used in the next few months/years etc.

o,O

Hmm, but the "Sergeant Major of the Corps" rank would have to be removed then (because only one person at a time can reach it), wouldn't it?

This picture is the small icon that indicates whether a kit has armor or not on the kit selection screen. The only thing is that it's sideways, whereas the one on the kit selection screen has the two points sticking upwards.

it is likely they are used, but noone is anywhere near what is required. my question for EA is why have officer ranks? IRL you can be promoted from say SM to 2LT it would be considered a demotion to teh SM, officer and non commisioned ranks shoudl be seperated some how, like you earn officer ranks by commander points, and NCO ranks by combat and team points.

after i read this thread i decided to checkout the zip, it is actually full of stuff which is not included in the final game. looking through just some of the sounds i found lines such as "laser target locked" it is really cool to see what they have left behind in the game. there is even a demotion sound effect

I searched the folder "Battlefield 2" with the keyword "rank".
Then I found some zipped folders.
That's it
