User blog:Awyman13/Battlefield 4 Ranking, Awards, and More

A recent post on the BF Blog has revealed new insight on how ranking and awards work in Battlefield 4 and if you havent played the beta, this is largely new to you!


 * 100 Ranks - BF4 has 100 Ranks (0 Recruit - 100 Colonel) as opposed to BF3s 145. Each rank has 5 sub ranks with roman numerals like USMC - example:
 * 16 - SGT
 * 17 - SGT II
 * 18 - SGT III
 * 19 - SGT IV
 * 20 - SGT V
 * 21 - Staff SGT
 * 22 - SSGT II


 * Assignments are largely unlocked by rank. In BF3, they were unlocked by completing specific assignments. They unlock at ranks 10, 20, 50, and 100.


 * 45 Ribbons


 * 45 Medals (1 per ribbon) - 50 ribbons = 1 Medal


 * Class Specific Ribbons - Assault Rifle, Sniper, etc.


 * 600 DOGTAGS!


 * 130 Service Stars - Can be earned 100 times each - 13K Service Stars


 * 80 Total Weapons


 * Scoring
 * Commanders get points when their orders are followed
 * Bonus points are earned during the capture of objectives. Capturing a Conquest flag in 250 points but with the 20 bonus its around 470
 * Hit points from damaging vehicles depend on where it is hit
 * NO MORE 99% or 100% Kill assist Bull Sh*t! - If a TM kills an enemy you heavily damaged then you both get the kill "Kill Assist Counts As Kill"
 * Points for just about everything


 * Improvements
 * Jets start with flares unlocked at start
 * Starting Assault Rifles have Grips unlocked at start
 * Some LMGs have BIPODs unlocked at start
 * Smoke unlocked for tanks at start
