You know how we have different tours and such. Would if instead of # rank we started at Private and gained rank normally, but like some people get the rank of 4 in a day, would if it took more then 1 day and took all tour to gain rank. I know I should of probably searched but was to lazy to. I was just thinking about that idea, I think it sounds cool.

raider,
I don't have a clue about what you are talking about.
Yea, the current rank system has its problems, but I really can't think of a better way to do it. Coupled with the fact that rank has very limited benefits, i.e. you get to steer the carrier, it would not be worth the trouble to change.
-
True but I don't know I would rather see real ranks, like PFC, PVT, SGT, LT, COL, and GEN. But this is probably a dream, if it were on the list of things to do for HTC it would be very far down.

Rank is just a way to tell who gets control of the cv, nothing else. To me, and alot of other people on here, rank is meaningless and we don't really care for it.
As for your request for ranks such as PVT, and SGT, etc etc, I believe that's how HT is going to use ranks when/if CT comes out. Not sure on that though.
-
I hope so, if it ever comes out. BUt yeah thanks wes
. Another thing that would be good if they got rid of what ever goes up when you bomb a factory. I think hit percentage not sure. But that'll never happen, and your right latrobe I don't care about rank but i would just like to see it in a different form. If CT ever comes out I hope its like that.

Lame,waste of time.
No one will like it.And to add their is a limit of ranks you can have is a general.And people with higher ranking could boss other people around.
-
True but I just hate the #'s rank.:noid

Because you cant get your low?
And besides.
2weeks till CT and they have proper ranks like you want.
-
Honestly I would rather see the public score removed from the game all together. Let people look at there own score privately and they can post it on the forums if they want to show off and look like a score-potato then. The only thing the score system does is encourage people to score-potato... It might even get rid of some of the HOers and runners as they won't be so worried about there score.
-
But air how would that work you would need to see who has lower rank to control CV is some dweeb takes it into SB range or PT spawn. And yeah thats a joke 2 weeks vans =P.

Believe it or not, some people in the game enjoy the rank aspect since it gives them something to work towards. Take it away from them, they are probably more likely to leave rather than change their style. People leaving = revenue loss for HTC, which is not a good thing for anyone who enjoys this game.
The thought by the original poster is interesting in that it would put people into tiers rather than give just a number. It might be mildly interesting to some people to see if they could get everyone in their squad to rank major or higher or something . . . I know no one in my squad would rise above corporal, but there could be others . . .

E25 work for it? you can take JU87 to City and bomb it once every other week for tour and have bomber rank of like 4. No work in that, and thats a good idea vanscrew.

You have managed to completely miss the point, but for some reason I am not surprised.
-
I never said remove score all together, just the public aspect of it. That way the game can still tell who is higher rank for taking control of a CV. People can still see there -own- score to work at different goals, such as a 2 K\D Ratio. And people aren't worried about having a #1 beside there name for everyone to see.
-
O I get you now. Good idea
-
WW2OL has the rank system like you mentioned. Overall it sucks pretty bad. The ones with rank pretty much decide what gets attacked or defended whether others agree with it or not.
Thats one reason I quit WW2OL by itself
-
well thats stupid they command you, i would of quit to. I just mean to have it like that instead of #'s.
-
that's Dustin for ya, full of brilliant, bright ideas. It would be nice if rank did not play into what people play for.

Why? How will they learn? Don't give me the "They can in the TA!" answer, because it isn't the same in this case.
Rank is an ego filler for most. Folks like SHawk, SR, Stang, Killn, and other vets who maintain a "low rank" routinely, usually shelve the ego (SR's ball busting doesn't apply).

About all it was most of the time was "Attack order has been issued for *insert town*. The ones ranked general had the say-so to what town they wanted us to attack, most were usually poor choices
For example, we had control of a town that could of been easily captured. If an attack order wasnt issued, we cannot capture it. A timer starts with an attack order and when that timer is up, then the "radios" appear. You have to guard that radio for 3 minutes (??) in order to capture that particular checkpoint. If you die or move, the timer resets to 0.
Or there was MANY a time where we had complete control on a town and close to capturing it. All of a sudden, the generals decide they dont want the town and the attack order is pulled. All of a sudden, those same "radios" dissapear and you cant do a single thing about it. If you complain, the answer you get is more or less "Too bad, if you dont like it then go Axis" (we were on the allied side).
99% of the player base had no sayso whatsoever on what they wanted to capture, just the 1% that had the control pretty much raun the game their way (and thats why the allies lost the war 80% of the time.
Towards the end out of frustration and boredom, I would spawn a unit and purposely ditch/destroy/crash it just to spite them. (you only have *X* number of units at that particular base. If you wreck all of them yourself, there wont be anymore until someone brings it from the neighboring town or it self-resupplies, maybe 20-30 minutes.
I liked to land planes on buildings then taxi them off into the ground, totally wrecking the plane.
Or take a truck or tank and seeing how far I can get by climbing up objects or inside of buildings (if I ditch it, its gone until its resupplied again)
I was a funkiller in WW2OL also :)
-
Well that game sound good if you were in control but other then that i'd hate it.
-
The only good part about the game I liked was the 88mm AA/AT Flak that the germans had.
-
Nice we need some of those.
-
Id like it, but it would probabally have a perk value to it plus the addition it would have to be towed by an M3. It would require new coding for all of it. I very much doubt we would see it in game. If we do, it probabally wont be for at least 2 years
-
I'd say 2 weeks :p but yeah definetly perked couldn't 88mm kill tanks as well?

Can you download that game off the internet? Or do you have to buy a CD.
-
I downloaded it off their webpage
The current file is 350 megs (just checked a minute ago)
A monthy subscription to play online was $15/month back when I was playing
-
Rgr whats the site I think i'll try to see how boring it is.
-
I think you get a free trial when you sign up, but its around $15/month to keep playing online

I agree with this!!!!! Also guns on the cv's.
