BF2S Forums Look! Blazin.uk is a Sgt. Major of the Corps!

Guys i never said my stats were the best'...LOL.. but why in the hell did EA make all this stat programing and awards' and how come to get a higher rand  on the first sarget' you have to have some badges and stufff'
and you you dont  on the 2nd luitenent' or the sargent major of the corps ?

my point is'  EA is basicly ass backwards.. its true ' he plays quite abit' a day
and look at his over 38,000 revives  dare  i say padder ?.. or maybe im just seeing it wrong'...
and i dont wish to take it from him....
but he gets it based on global score only'.........which is kinda  lame considering there are a hell of alot of better players out there,,, and those stats should be considered especialy' if their gonna track them !..

godd greif...lol

basicly'..EA evidently has more money than they have sence...?

Ubar isn't "wrong" so much as "superceeded". This rank is awarded 'by hand' on the backend by EA/IGN. It can be given and taken at will, so "requirements" aren't really 'required'.

Then that begs the question what the hell is the point?  If they can apparently give this stuff out with out it actually being earned then whats the point?  Its disgusting enough that the leaderboards are based on time played and not skill now they are apparently giving away top honors because they "felt" like it.

If I had 18925278 hours on BF2 I would be in the Top 20 as well!! haha

I don't get why this is so hard to comprehend. The whole of BF series is based around Militaries. Generally speaking "time in service" quite often equates to "rank in service", Some times it is because you're good, but often it is simply due to seniority.

As for you, Mr. Hotbutter, chill it down a bit. They only give this rank out to ONE player. It is superceeded because it is something that MUST be done server side because it can't be done client side -- clients have no idea who the highest ranked player is.

I'm sorry,  I suppose after a few conversations with some people today I have begun to miss bftracks.  I have always thought the devs really could have learned something from some of the formulas and methods they used to come up with their leaderboards.  I think we all can agree that as it is now the leaderboards  are somewhat of a joke.  I mean when you remove the skill factor from your equation to calculate leaderboard positions then really they become a joke.

This is the reason why alot of people don't take the leaderboards seriously (slowly I am becoming one of those people).  I understand that these ranks are based on seniority and I suppose I don't have a problem with that come to think of it, but I do have a problem with the way leaderboards are calculated as of now.  I suppose that is a bit off topic, but as I mentioned earlier some of the conversations I had today really got me thinking...and I have become somewhat disenchanted with the system.

So what would I have done if they would have let me play God with the stat system when the game was being made?  I would have based Sgt Major of the corps on overall monthly play of all ranks, leaving in the possibility that if a Sgt. played well enough on that given month he or she could earn that top spot.  I would have based the leaderboards on  an equation that takes into account KDR, SPM, Team Winning Percentage  with a bonus given for smalls arms KDR and a smaller bonus for time played. Also I would have made the leaderboards based on a monthly basis, meaning that every month you started from scratch thus making it possible for someone new to the game to have just as much of a chance for a spot in the top 20 as someone who has played since the game came out.  That in itself would keep the game fresh. forgive me for standing on my soap box but really it all just got me thinking and I feel irked.

OK, I see that you feel "Irked", but having a Corporal , Sergent , or one Bad Ass Lance Corporal being equated by your ridiculous equation makes absolutely no sense at all. I'm not trying to bash you but SGTMAJ of the Corps can only be held by the highest qualified SGTMAJ at one time. That is just simple common sense.  So seeing how Chuy made the simplest explanation at the begening of this post, go back to page one.

(But common sense isn't really common--> uncommon sense would be more accurate, but that is a differant topic!)

ffs bring on  the Lt.Gen. and Gen and General of the Army FFS!

kekeke !!!

erm, so how exactly will the S.M.O.T.C be given out? just to one player every month, then does the player who had it previously lose it, or what? and how is it decided who gets it? just the player with the next highest score? ie it gets moved down the scores?

sorry if this has already been asked

the one player at a time means that whoever has the best score at Sgt. Major or maybe 2nd LT. will be given this special rank that only one person can have at one time.  the rank is given out once a month to one player, and one player only.  in other words, Blazin. Uk got the rank this month, but  say Broggi played his ass off and replaced blazin as number 1 on the leader boards, and he managed to hold that position until the month ended, the rank would be taken away from Blazin and given to Broggi. make sense?

Actualy, I'm pretty sure it is given out by who performed the best that month. meaning, whoever earned the most points. It has nothing to do with the leaderboard or who is 1st place overall.
as long as you have Master Sergeant, you are eligable for SMOTC.

That is what I thought too...What is the point of that 2nd Lieutenant anyway? Did EA feel like throwing in another rank randomly or something? Also - SlayThem, why are you not a First Sergeant? You meet all the criteria and more...

Because you don't get promoted from Master Sergeant to First Seargent, cause it's the same level...not really same, but here... this should make it a bit clearer, although the SergeantMajor of the Corps is another deal...

with that said he got that rank with high numbers(votes) just as that guy got high numbers(gs)

Actually, George Bush is COMMANDER IN CHIEF as President of the United States.  This is a civilian position as set out in the Constitution, not a military rank.  He also earned the National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award and the Small Arms Expert Ribbon while a pilot in the Air Force and Texas Air National Guard.

By law, George Washington holds the highest military rank in the armed forces of the United States.

Can't you people just shut the fuck up and play? For those of you complaining, he doesn't stat pad by the looks of it and at least unlike the rest of the top players, he didn't tank whore his way to the top.

There's nothing wrong with playing one class the whole game. It's not your decision whether or not he gets bored, it's his. What do you care anyway? He's not doing anything to hurt his team or himself. You can't even stat pad anymore after the patch without the help of a lot of people.


Maybe he doesn't play the game to show off how big his cock is by his stats or ribbons or medals like the rest of you whining little babies.

Get over it and have fun playing.
