I've just installed the game but read this:
Aswel as the standard ranks, BF2142 features 3 additional Top Officer Ranks (MAjor General, Lieutenant General and Supreme Commander), which are awarded or lost based on your weekly performance online.
 
 
So I reckon it's the same as in BF2, you'll receive the award only once and the next week someone else has that rank.

You can keep the rank multiple weeks in a row, but you have to be the one that earns the most points that week, afaik though, its just for bragging rights and doesnt do anything else for the game.

Guessing then that I just need to focus on Northen strike badges and ribons to get those last unlocks.
And the braging ranks wil pobably out of reatch due to me having a job.
And theres stil  some badges that I want to turn gold.

Seconded!
I've been playing a fair bit on BF2 allready and it's pretty hard to get some badges/medals and such.
I've just started up BF2142 and really like the unlocksystem of BF2142

Is there any way to save the unlocks you prefer. Basically so you don't have to drag them across each time :).

You get carear points for thouse badges. 500 for silver 1000 for gold, so they worth doing if you want to rank up quick.

And I have stil to find a way to save my kit. Don't think there is a way as I belive it is info stored on the server.( Rejoining a server after DC and I sometimes don't need to re do the kit,join a new one and I have to).

Haha, fair enough!
As said, had a blast Sunday although I still don't quit get that Titanstuff.
I seem to enjoy the none Titanmaps alot more.
Bastet, I've added you to my Friendsthingy and also the other few people who added their names before mine.

The titan combat thingy is first fun when you join the bigger servers.
Where there is alvays some defence and you have to woork as a group to get it done. And when you convince your squadmates that when you have taken a silo you should stay at it andkeep it for a while.

The NS asaultlines is pretty fun too but geting to the last base seems a bit hard.

Okay, when I check out my stats I have:
Dog tags collected: 28
Unique Dog tags collected: 27.
 
What's the difference? Does the unique part mean he hasn't knifed me back or so?

Yes, when you play online and knife a guy you'll receive his dogtags.
Not sure how you can see them though. According to EA there's an option to hunt them down again but I don't quit get it.
 
EDIT:
I now have:
Dog tags collected: 43
Unique Dog tags collected: 39.
Last night was a good evening for trying my blade.

I think you have to join a ranked server to be able to save your kit, as I remember. 0.o

What they mean is the settings on the player, everytime you have to select the unlocks towards your selected kit, quit anoying at first.

after brigadeer general, there's major general, lieutenant general and supreme commander. thses ranks are reserved for the top 200 players (most career points) for that month, i think
the supreme commander is the player with the highest score. it changes weekly.

hope that helps mate. congrats on the promotion

Ragnarh/Kakehund
I was looking at various sites the other day for the Supreme Commander and such and found the current one;
http://www.2142-stats.com/CartoonPorn+stats.html
Seems to be a padder on knife only servers and just making knifekills and reviving people.
I reckon you don't have much of a chance of gaining a higher rank then you currently have (Brigadier General).
 
I'm closing up on you btw with my rank. 410 points away from Field Marshal Silver, after that Field Marshal Gold and Supreme Commander.
I'm still looking for a good TitanServer and AssaultLinesserver, maybe this one would be something? http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?user=BearBison
GG's again Sunday, to bad we had a complete Clan against us on that 1 server. The 1 I join usually is a bit hectic and you need to be on the right side but usually when playing on that server you can get teampoints really easy. Teamwork for the win!

Post by: Ragnarh on July 27, 2007, 06:35:21 PM
That server is good for racking up points on EU side, but the base rape on the PAC uncap is a bit unsporting.
The ranking up bit is something I have given up on since I have a jobb.

Gaining points kinda takes a backseat to teamplay and trying to beat my killstreak :boxing:(EA wont give me the killstreak I desrve :crying:)

I got my 25 killstreak as a commander on a large server, not sure which 1.
Ehrm, teamplay gives loads of points to be honoust.@ that 1 sever, I allways defend the left side, PAC does have a decend change to get by there. I've been also several times on the PAC-side winning rounds...

Yesterday I ended up as Brigadier General also.
Must say that the ranking went pretty fast (4 months from Private untill Brigadier General). Teamplay = loads of points...
Almost got all the unlocks now (2 missing but hope to get those through NS).
 
Now I'm trying to get one of the most difficult ribbons, the War College ribbon. Almost have it, just need an 1,5 hours of Commandering and then IOR 45 Commander score.
 
@ Kakehund; I've tryed joining you yesterdaynight several times but got disconnected several times.
-2 times my BF2142 seemed bugged (weird console where you pick your gear).
-2 times BF2142 just crashed to desktop
-1 time bluescreen of death...
When I could join properly, the server was full

Post by: Ragnarh on August 07, 2007, 10:55:05 PM
welcome to the generals club where medals and ribbons is all that counts :blush:
And teamplay is all that keeps the game revarding.
