    Play on ranked servers, and your score will go up along with your rank. Its also how you get medals/badges/ribions, along with weapon unlocks.

    Sheff is right. Best thing to do is just have Ranked Servers Only in your filter...there is really no reason to play on a non-ranked server unless you are messing around.

    apparently the ranking system is going to be dropped upon 2142 release and all weapons available on all servers. If so, not much point starting now... :D

    BF2 will be played for a long time to come. 2142 looks corny. I am getting sick of the whole "future war" games. Star Wars has brought us enough... just drop it. I want to drive a tank... not a "Mech".

    Of course alot of people will still play it...but thats completely beside the point. The point was that there will be no more ranking system.

    Dont even begin to compare the Star Wars univers to the Battlefield universe, they are completly different. Star Wars is complete fiction, while BF is baised on the real past, present, and a possible/realistic future. The technology shown in 2142 is very achieveable in 136 years from now. The game is actually set in a believeable and possible future, unlike Star Wars. Thats why I think it looks great. Its that, plus all the great things from BF2. I like BF2 now, but I will love 2142, and I will drop BF2 in a heartbeat once it comes out.

    BF2142 looks lame. It IS BF2 with a skin mod and a few extra minor things. I would rather play with modern weapons/technology than some stupid cyborgs and laser guns. BF2 POE mod is also cool.

    I never said it was "exactly" like Star Wars... I meant in a relative sense, Star Wars has taken care of the "future" warzone for us. I am just sick of EA... they keep charging $50 for skins on a new games. (BF1942-BFVietnam-BF2-BF2142) And out of all of those... I don't see much of a change! I love ALL of the Battlefield games, because they stick to the more "current/past realism", and stayed away from the ever so popular "futuristic" seen. Now, looks like they fell...

    Why dont you read this artice before saying what your saying.

    http://pc.ign.com/articles/725/725454p1.html

    And I dont consider Star Wars to cover the "futuristic scene" , because its all fiction and completly unrealistic. Yeah 2142 is also fiction, but its realistic fiction, unlike Star Wars which is complete fantasy.

    If you hit their body it will take them down to 2 bars of health. But a head shot is an instant kill. Being a good sniper takes a good mouse, and a good resolution to be able to see the small head from a distance. Then you need to compensate for bullet drop, which varies from gun to gun. So sniper is a hard kit to master. But if you pratice alot you will eventually be able to do it naturally, and get a head shot everytime, even on moving targets...I still havent mastered that one yet.
