Allright, basically i'm starting to get close to brig gen. (starting) and i just wanted to say that now it gets really fun because you got alot of unlocks to use and alot of strategies, unlucky for me i made a stupid decision and am stuck with the Clark being my last weapon :( :(.....anyways, i have noticed that it takes alot more to get to the next rank, so the question is:
What is your way of getting alot of points but still having a blast playing the game?

Go for ribbons/gold/silver badges.

Yeah, just taking a quick look at your stats, I'd suggest looking at the badge requirements and high-point ribbons, and see which ones look entertaining to you. Some will bore the snot out of you, so don't bother with them unless you are *really* goal-oriented. The other thing I'd suggest is getting the Northern Strike booster. Honestly, for $10 bucks, it's totally worth it. Some cool maps, some nifty new toys to unlock, and the ten unlocks you earn in NS are mostly pretty quick and easy. Those unlock credits can be used on *any* unlock, so you can get that Clark quicker if you want and leave a couple of the NS unlocks until last.

yeah i agree with rottnJP, buying NS is a great idea. I bought it, and within 3days had every gold NS ribbon/badge except the 40 speeder kills. They're really easy to get and bam you get like 6 unlocks by doing that.

defend the titan with the clark if you can unlock it as a squad upgrade, shotgun pins and defence pins constantly the points rack up fairly fast, if you squad unlock the ids aswell that sould net you some teamwork points

Looks like you're just a couple thousand points behind me... just made Commissar Silver today. I suggest going for badges. They earn so much.
Titan Combat and Defense Gold will earn you 2000 total points are aren't *that* hard... well, having a Clark makes them easier but they can still be done =P

go get Northern strike and in a day you can have 2-3 new unlocks. Get the clark right away, and boom go get your titan combat and defense gold, problem solved.

I've had this game since June and play it almost everyday. I'm not the best but I've improved TONS since I started. The better I've gotten the more fun it's become. The points, the unlocks, the next rank....it all adds to the enjoyment of this game but I'll still play this after I hit Brig. Gen. I enjoy trying to better my last game. I enjoy trying to get more kills, less deaths, more teamwork points, etc., etc., than the previous game. I enjoy grabbing a different gun and trying to see how I do on the same map. I'm a big Camp G. guy right now but I used to pay a lot of titan. I use the Ganz more often but find that the Clark or the Lambert completely changes the game. When I get bored with one map I pick a different one and its like a whole new game.
I would definitely recommend getting Northern Strike. I've played a ton of it and for $10 you can't go wrong.
The problem with this game is its too friggin' addictive. I find I sit down to play ONE game and TWO HOURS is gone before I know it!

Which is??????
oh yea, did i mention how i made a stupid mistake and have to get the Clark as my last weapon unlock? yea......so usually i stay up there with a Lambert and find someone who has a clark then take his kit after he dies. But i love using the Clark so much :(

hahah im in the same boat, the clark is my last big unlock. I have every other major unlock except the clark.. I'm kind of dissapointed now since i've already got all my NS gold badges, so it looks like i'll have to get the clark the hard way.

Titan Defend, 100+ Points in less than ten minutes. You could also Titan Gun Whore, but thats a bit boring. Going for awards can be fun, but it can also be boring as heck or even frustrating. Just play the game how you like to play it, you will get your rank in no time at all :)
BTW, I passed the last 4 ranks using the Private Glitch. In a matter of three days I went from Field Commissar to Brig General :|: Nowadays I don't even notice when I get the private glitch, career points really don't mean anything to me :p

But i love using the Clark so much :(It's when the game glitches out and thinks you're a Private rank... In other words, you lose all your unlocks, but it remembers all the time requirements for badges, so if you've played 50 hours as Assault, get the private bug, and get 30 kills as Assault that round you will get the Assault Gold badge, even if you've gotten it before.
@Kr1k1t, at least your next rank isn't 3000+ away =O

It's legal, a DICE guy even told us to enjoy the free points. :) Happens when the stat servers screw up or something.
Also wwwwwhhhyyy did you leave the Clark last, should left the Zeller, it's basically a bigger, louder, stock rifle while the Clark is completely different,

Private bug:
I got it yesterday again, and i again got 2670 points in one round which rocks :D
got it from a 2000 point ribbon and a 500 point ribbon even though i wasnt trying for it, think its the soldier of merit or good conduct ribbons
think we're gonna get alot more brig gens soon :D

i wasted my last unlock on the SAAW 86.. What a waste that was! I thought it'd be cool to shoot down aircraft, so i went into a 64 man titan server.. Let's just say i was severely disappointed in that hunk of crap.
My next 4 unlocks are going towards the clark.
And im seriously hoping i get a private bug sometime soon hehe :D

I think the unlocks that everybody should save for last are the Zeller+scope stabilizer and SAAW unless your a hardcore engy and need those extra 10 rounds.

Clark is the epic point earner/fun to use-er.

I seem to get this bug when CTD or get disconnected. Then you log back on and find that you don't have any of your unlocks. So you start playing anyway and start noticing that you are getting all the ribbons, medals and badges that you already earned. You can easily racking up thousands of points. It is a god send sometimes.

Yeah, same here. I ended up with my second Legion of Merit and Good Conduct ribbon in a round just a few weeks ago. 2600 point game. Ended up with an promotion and an unlock I wasn't going to be getting for some time. I had no idea what had happened....now I know. I'll be looking forward to it more often now!:yay:

Got BG on my 3rd LoM / GC ribbon Private glitch. Bit of a disappointment, but what can ya do, right?
The SAAW takes some work to get used to... but I love it for scaring gunship whores away from my armor.
And the Clark just plain rocks.
