The only thing I’d hope for is that DICE doesnt implement that system. While unlocking stuff is fun and fresh it becomes almost impossible to further your rank in vehicles and certain things because someone is 140 and maxed out squashing you while you’re fresh to the game scraping by. Its almost as if it becomes a chore to deal with.
Rank doesn’t necessarily translate to skill. DICE did implement “newbie” servers late in BF4’s life cycle. I understand why it was done, but that doesn’t mean I agreed with it or think it should be a continuing trend IMO. 
In BF4, there are other ways to get vehicle unlocks other than driving the vehicle. There was even air superiority that required no kills to further vehicle progression.
Think before you go into an engagement with vehicles. You’re such a big target regardless of the vehicle gotta prioritize. Plus knowing the maps helps like finding spots near by to retreat.
Plenty of beginner servers in Bf4. High rank doesn’t mean great skill btw.. Seen great lvl 30 and below in BF4 numerous times..
This, sometimes rank just means they play alot.
Very true. Seen a terrible lvl 140 who had 4k hours in Bf4..
Hahaha I think I’m like lvl 114 and that’s since launch. It baffles me how bad some people are with the amount of time invested.
This is a worse idea than removing k/d from the scoreboard.
I’d sooner they add helicopters, hand held lock on weapons, and aliens.
just use SPM to maintain rank. they lose SPM, they lose rank.
Spm is massively dependant on game mode/map.
Also…what do you even mean? The two are already tied together. Low spm = low score = takes longer to rank up.
How can you ‘lose score per minute’??
older BF games had rank dependent on total points (overall) then you had to maintain a minimum SPM (depending on rank) to maintain that rank. You lose SPM by not having productive games, i.e. not playing the objective, camping for 3 kills somewhere on the edge of the map, not supporting your team. It was points per hour back then (it’s been 11 years) and here’s how it broke down.

Just get better at the game. Play 10 hours and you have quality guns and equipments. Rank is no excuse.
removing the rank system is a bad idea, but it does need to be reworked taking inspiration from battle non sense he says “back in battlefield 2 you had to complete assignments and do certain tasks to rank up so getting to high rank would be hard and it would be very rare for you to see a very high ranked player” or some thing similar to that his idea was to add in a program called " The Veteran Program" idea was after you complete the normal rank system that would be similar to bf4s you would have option to enter the veteran program and that program would require you to get a certain amount of xp plus a couple of team oriented assignments or what ever in order to rank up. i cant remember it one to one but it was very similar to what i typed just go to battle non sense on youtube.
I think a ranking system like that could put a lot of people off.
while improving the community. weed out the scrubs and make it competitive (ish) again.
the video game version of ‘put up, or shut up.’
It wont please the masses though.
look at the garbage they’ve released to ‘please the masses’. They need to refocus on what set the BF franchise apart from “generic FPS 5.0”. Go back to some old formulas that made BF fresh and fun, not run and gun.
Believe me I wouldnt mind if they did. I just dont think they will.
OK, so take away the rank of that player. They still have more experience and will pound you regardless
