Once you get 10500 try logging out then back in then it should change if not it may be the servers are a bit slow.

best way to get your promotion

log out.

log back on.

score some points

that usually does it.

Someone posted this on some other forums for me. I think i'm gonna go with the medic unlock (**5A1) as its just too fun being medic on a 64 player Strike at Karkland

Thats quite handy. There should be a thread or something where the infomation stuff goes (such as this, and how to make the screensize anythig nother than the default ones), as finding a post in a thread with 100's and 100's of replies is damn hard!

p.s. i think your sig is too big

That can't be accurate surely ? Because the M95 is quite clearly more powerful than the M24 in real play terms. ( in game it's also marked as 'very high' damage whereas the M24 is just 'high' )

Me thinks the damage reading on that is too high for the M24.

Thats not my experience. I'd say the M95 is same power as M24 (theres no 1 shot kills apart from the head, same as M24) and it also seems slightly less accurate, which is bourne out in that table. Only plus point is it will shoot through cockpit glass.

Just tried that and it worked You do realise you could cycle through the weapons and select the one you want instead of just choosing the anti tank weapon?

Hey what gives?? The last game I played I got alerts that my rank had been raised to the next one after private and I earned an amoured combat ribbon, that was on saturday. After checking my stats today (nero120) they are not showing up. Does the update delay sometimes take this long or could there have been a mistake? I would have thought they'd have shown up by now? :confused:

edit: just checked the last page - looks like a few people are misplacing their ribbons! I might put in a complaint with the joint chiefs about this!

what happens when u get badges, are they for personal enjoyment, or do they add to you ingame?

Totally the opposite, you can certainly tell when you've been hit by the Barret over the M24 in my experience. I also feel that the M95 is more accurate, especially over range, shots that never hit before over a certain distance using the M24 now kill, spot on the crosshair.

It means when you die you make a shinier corpse.
