Well?
The game rankings in the C&C Games are just trown in for fun.
Most here play for theyr own fun... not for rank.
Besides, in the wat the ranking system works it doesnt show the real potential of a player. Someone who stays shooting at buildings from a distance isnt a good player, thats just a point whore.
The ppl that are realy experianced are the ppl who manage to get a beacon in the AGT on field, or who get 20 sniping kills without being seen and killed.

What is your point of standing in this? Cool

The only way the ranks could work is if there was a rank for kills, dead buildings, and most time point whoring with an arty or mrls. Confused

I would just like the rankings to be fixed, or at least updated once a month. I know alot of you are anti-rankings, but imo they are fun to compare with friends to show who did what in a particular game. I know it doesnt show all it should but I still think they are fun, and adds competivness to games where you have a bunch of friends playing at once. I am not talking about point whoring, and being number one overall, I could care less what you are ranked, I am talking about kills/deaths, wins/loses, vehicals destroyed, and buildings. So the rankings are a big reason I still play this game, but since they have stopped working a couple weeks ago, my friends and I have also slowed way down on playing as much too. We were hoping they would have just reset this month but they didnt.

Rankings add competition, playing for something is better then playing for nothing.

I dont really give a shit about rank. The only thing i like about it is seeing my kill next to my deaths and seeing how i have improved since i started. Laughing Laughing Mabey if the ladders are ever fixed it should not be in rank fashin but in A-Z names with ur kills and deaths next to it Very Happy Laughing

Well it's a good idea because it will stop the point whores who only play to increase their rank. If they get no rank, no reason to point whore, no reason to play. Or I can only hope.

It's obviously pronounced Az-dif-ig, or Az-dif-ig-igs if you want to interpret 195 as 1337. :rolleyes: Come on Demo, get with the program.

Point whores are an aspect of the game, they get the team points to win, some of them snipe mainly ( like me ) others just camp all the time even when they got mvp easily and their team is about to lose their base. the only bad ones are the ones that have mvp...

Well, I used to play for ranks when I reached 1st of Thailand and about a rank 1500-2000 I think, then I quitted playing too serious. Currently I only play it for fun. Very Happy And in unladdered games, I rarely point whore because it's no fun at all and I find it really annoying, to both friendlies and enemies. :rolleyes:

i agree, the point of a ladder is to raise competition, and keep that one guy/girl playing as much as he can to get the top ladder score (whether point whoring or whatnot). that makes for good gaming experience having more players active and playing.

Rank to me, is just a guidline for self improvement. I don't use the ranking system to compare myself with others. I use it to see how mush I improved or degraded in the months time.

If I was #1 (LMFAO as if) I still wouldn't be happy. There is always room for improvement, so the ladders show if I am improving.

You have to laugh at those people that think the ladder system says they are one of the best at the game.

Back when the rnking system worked, I would check back at my rank every once in a while to see how low I could get it.

But I hate those people that brag about their rank and say: "My rank is better than yours, so you suck."
