Battle Ranks, Command Ranks, and Outfit Ranks


I just wanted to post a bit my thoughts how these should work in general. We know that BR 40 is making a comeback. We also know that there are no plans for CR to be in PS2. OR is as far as I am aware not coming to PS2.

My thoughts on BR are that it should remain largely as is, but perhaps have a title upgrade along with it:

BR 40 First Sergeant PlayerName
BR 35 Master Sergeant PlayerName
BR 30 Gunnery Sergeant PlayerName
BR 25 Staff Sergeant PlayerName
BR 20 Sergeant PlayerName
BR 15 Corporal PlayerName
BR 10 Lance Corporal PlayerName
BR 05 Private First Class PlayerName
BR 00 Private PlayerName

This would help determine a player's BR on the fly when the armor won't necessarily be an indicator.

As for CR, I think they should be in, but only cosmetically. You earn CR at any level, by completing mission as SL, but the titles don't start to take effect until you reach BR 20.

CR 10 General (BR 40)
CR 09 Lieutenant General
CR 08 Major General (BR 35)
CR 07 Brigadier General
CR 06 Colonel (BR 30)
CR 05 Lieutenant Colonel
CR 04 Major (BR 25)
CR 03 Captain
CR 02 Lieutenant 1st Class
CR 01 Lieutenant 2nd Class

The CR grind should be roughly the same to get to CR 5 as it was at release, so CR 10 is difficult and long in the tooth. CR grants nothing other than a title to recognize persistent leadership. I'm sure at least one or two players named Pain will will rank up to Major and stop.

OR is a way to advance the entire Outfit as a whole:

OR 05 Outfit becomes a Cadre and can be on 'outfit' leaderboards.
OR 04 ?Base Claiming?
OR 03 Can upload custom insignia
OR 02 Can choose an outfit uniform for infantry and vehicles
OR 01 Can choose a default insignia
OR 00 Freshly created

Maybe OR should also be symbolic, not really sure. Don't really want to go the wow route and make a massive gulch between new and established outfits.

Input is appreciated.
