Hello everyone,Today, I'd like to delve into a discussion of the ranking system in Battlefield 2042.In my opinion the ranking system in Battlefield 3 undoubtedly surpasses that of Battlefield 2042, primarily due to its depth, sense of accomplishment, and clear end goal. Unlike the bland and uninspiring ranking system in Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 3's progression model is a masterclass in player engagement. One of the critical flaws of Battlefield 2042's ranking system is its lack of meaning or a genuine sense of accomplishment. Battlefield 2042 fails to provide players with a clear end goal to strive for, which can be demotivating for many. In Battlefield 3, reaching the maximum rank felt like a significant achievement, a testament to a player's dedication, skill, and perseverance. This clear end goal provided players with a sense of purpose and motivation to keep pushing themselves to the limit. I'm very interested to hear other peoples opinions. As always they're no wrong answers. 😉 Best regards,danisoff

My personal opinion is that I'm not really fussed about my rank and it doesn't incentive me to play. I just enjoy PTFOing and supporting my team to the best of my (sometimes lacking) abilities. That's enough for me usually. Obviously I'm not expecting my opinion to match everyone else, and there is arguably merit in refining the existing system for people who do focus on and enjoy ranking up (E.G. lowering it from S999 to make it less of a grind), but it's just not something I focus on myself.

@danisoff I don't really care about player rank in BF, but the point of having an incentive to work towards I do recognize.For me it currently is in the completing weekly missions, season tier 1 and BP completion, on top of that I try tier 1 other stuff.But the main incentive should be having fun and there I cannot compare BF2042 to BF3 for example, unfortunately.

@danisoffTo be honest i wouldn't care if i was on top or on bottom as a solo player.Getting top squad at the end of the round is what i enjoy.I have no objection to special awards, ribbons medals that can be achieved.But those in the minority that got to 999 cause they sucked and had to use cheats,hacks shouldnt be high fived.

@danisoff No worries and I do have to admit that I was more inclined to enjoy ranking up in BF4 and BF1 as it seemed a lot more achievable and less off-putting to reach max rank.

I fully understand your opinion. Also, as you have said probably lowering the current "prestige" level would also help out. Thank you for taking the time to reply @ElliotLH.

I understand, but I also think that most with max "prestige" are actually legit players. EA has done a pretty good job in banning the hackers, at least that is from my personal experience. I would be bold to say that almost every s999 you find in the game is a legit player. Thank you for taking the time to write a post @Hudson1531.

I agree @ElliotLH, I think the perfect sweet spot, at least for me is a ranking system between Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, I have to say I'm very biased towards Battlefield 3 😉. Never played Battlefield 1, but I heard the ranking system is almost the same like in Battlefield 4. Maybe I'm a minority, but the ranking system like in BFV and BF2042 just made it feel very boring and unreachable. In previous games, like BFBC2, BF3, BF4 you would play a lot but you would reach the end goal.
