Rank is meaningless but wouldn't it be nice if HT would post the number of kills since your last death when you land.
Would you try harder to defeat someone with a 25 kill streak? Would squads and attack teams organize to defend someone with a record? I think it would make the game more fun for me and be more of an encouragement to work with a squad.
This is as close to an AH hero as we get.
Enemy icons should change color in relation to how many scalps they have on board
Essentialy it would be saying, "hey look at me I'm piktard needing love"
