> 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.

calling Modern Combat, aka, the one BF game no one actually cares about, an “older BF game” and even using it to make a positive comparison about something is a joke.

for the record, them doing something ONCE in one game is a poor way to make an argument.

> 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.

first off, you know they make games, for the masses right? them pleasing the masses is how they make money.

second, the ranking system is something BF introduced itself in BF2. it WAS what set BF apart back in the day. that everyone else copied them is not BF’s problem.

and old BF was run n gun.
