Squad Lead and Commander are absolutely "Ranks". So, they are completely useless, by your point of view.....

in Squad they are temporay functions, not permanent ranks - everyone can be SL or Commander if he volunteers for it and is not messing it up too much so he gets overvoted by another CO or left alone by his Squad (usually there are enough ppl who are glad to have a really bad SL who lets them do whatever they want).

Your argument is "he" and "his"? SMH

Hell Let Loose has a ranking system? How does that works since you choose your team?

The HLL devs will likely have a master server/backend infrastructure for recording and tracking stats and ranks for the game, something Squad doesn't have. If those stats and ranks are however saved locally, those stats will be open to tampering.

Having a backend to maintain and operate costs the devs money. Singular dedicated servers run by the community doesn't.

I agree.

For a long time, I opposed a ranking system. I played Squad for more than 1.000 hours now.

Then I started playing Hell Let Loose. And even if this game is more arcady, the ranking system helps in playing the game. Not all options will be open to new players, it's rewarding to keep playing and get experience and in the end it's easier to see what kind of players you have in your Squad. Higher level players will tend to take more responsability, which is good and it encourages teamplay.

Since i startet hell let loose i agree 2 and i was thinking why the hell squad does not do that?
I mean so you see how much your Squad lead knows and it makes it easy for new guys talk 2 guys who got more time in the game
and i dont face that toxic stuff people talk about here

Because of a need for dedicated backend resources for saving player data and the cost of having that run and maintained, will be a consideration. If the rank/player sq3 file was still saved locally then you could easily manipulate it.

Manipulate for what?
You get no reward it is just 2 Show other people how much expirience you got
would make no sense 2 fake that
Cause if you are bad you are bad and thats it

Using the Hell Let Loose example. If your rank data is stored locally, you can hack it to give yourselves more ranks/levels whatever. Incentive would be there considering some weapons and ability use is locked behind ranks and class usage.

There is some coord happening on some servers, been trying it again lately and it is not bad the level of communication. It was just a few Eur servers I tried though so that's not going to be representative of the whole.

But the ranking system in HLL has loadout gear locked behind it, which would be different in Squad as you have access to everything straight away, depending on the size of the squad you are operating.

And the original poster did say, 'Like in Hell lets Loose'. But if it is just to show how much experience you have then it will not be like in Hell Let Loose. You need to have a reason for ranks in games, and in most games it will be to unlock something. And that's the driver for progression. There is no progression in Squad, so no need for ranks.

I think it could only work if ranking up is tied to performing actions. I'm thinking something similar to Battlefield 2: Modern Combat where you had to do things that looked somethine like the below:

Complete 2 of the 3 to earn the Medic Service Medal:

- 1000 team heals
- 500 hours as medic
- 500 revives

Earn 5000 heal points to earn First Aid ribbon

Rank Cpl. = 1 medal + 1 ribbon + 100 hours playtime + 25,000xp + 10,000 objective points

This way, just getting kills won't rank you up and just playing the game for hours on end without actually doing much won't rank you up either. You actually have to do something worth while and meaningful to rank up. Ranks would in turn have more meaning behind them and would distinguish players from one another.

BF2:MC had the best ranking system I have ever seen. I was proud to reach 2nd LT. at the time.

^Too much effort for nothing

nah not the ranking system. I would go for the a little character customization and the way they score tank crews and the way tank coax works and the headshot instant death no revives is what i like to see from hell let loose. but its not going to happen hell V3 might not happen this year possibly V3 winter 2022 according to there Q&A

Hell let loose attracts players through a progression/unlocking system with realism and little character customization and role scoring system so players can play the role and be rewarded.

Squad is a arcade/ realistic game or a rip and paste of PR2 the only immersion i feel in squad is good teamwork depending who is playing. Vehicles, weapons handling, is a bit arcade cringe.

Post Scriptum i don't have the game but players from post scriptum comes to HLL and tell me its dead.
