Battlefield 2042 Ranking system - What is your opinion?

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

@ABC-Warrior-realI've got no insight in how much money they make on boins and skins. Just like you my only investment in this game has been the initial purchase. I grinded up to 1000 free boins to get a premium battlepass, which I can renew every season by completing the BP.

And that's the issue with your proposal to give 100 boins for each rank. It would make it very easy for people to farm boins and as such dry up the income from BP, and Item bundles.

They don't care about getting more people playing regularly, they already have our money. Their only objective is to get new people in and make the ones who are in already spend money on cosmetics.
Cosmetics is the name of the game (pass the pun) in the gaming industry. There was recently a documentary (‘Gamer/ gambler’ it was called) on Sweden’s gaming scene and its huge problem with players’ obsession with skins. Some racking up huge debts (millions of Swedish Kronor, unbelievably) on a roulette-style of obtaining “unique” skins. Companies only too happy to oblige (and frankly, nobody forces players to spend their money on it, anymore than McDonalds forces anyone to chow down their hamburgers…). Similar situation to when the ‘FIFA’ franchise started their ‘Ultimate packs’ or whatever they’re called and it raised a ruckus with regulatory agencies. Respect to EA/DICE for at least not going down this gambling route with the ‘Battlefield’ franchise.
