In an article from joystiq.com"Darius Kazemi"reported some statistics on how long it takes to reach the highest rank in the DICE shooter Battlefield Bad Company 2.Apparently it takes 282 hours on average, to reach the highest rank (50). To come up with this number, 3,373 player profiles where analyzed. Compare that to the 1400 + hours it takes to reach the highest rank in Battlefield 2
To put the hours in perspective, instead of ranking up to the highest rank in BC2 you could:
work full time, 8 hours every day for 35 days straight or, fly around the world 12 times with a concord.
- Rank 1-10 players spent 3-24 hours in game
- Rank 11-20 players spent 25-44 hours in game
- Rank 21-30 players spent 48-100 hours in game
- Rank 31-40 players spent 111-221 hours in game
- Rank 41-50 players spent 228-295 hours in game

The question is: Will klasbo ever reach rank 3?
The "hours per rank" - if drawn as a line graph - is basically a straight line up to rank 24, then a straight line from 25 to 50, but here at about 3 times the gradient.
This basically means that you rank up at the same rate up to 24, then only a third as fast from 25 and onwards. You'd expect the ranks to be progressively harder to get (an exponential curve), but no. Not here.
@Stoner, have you heard any news on a map editor? Cracking the fbrb files is hard enough, editing them near impossible... I'm expecting us to get a proper solid modSDK (something like the SC2 editor) sometime in the near future.
A lot of the maps have huge potential, but they're just so damn linear and limited. Open them up a little and we have something that reminds us of the good ol' BF2 maps.
I actually checked scores of 10-15 hardcore gamers and the best ones had 20,000+.
To make 50 lvl in 282 hours you need to get 22 000+ points every hour, it's a huge number and only best scorers can manage to keep that constant high value.
