PR ranking is not compatible with the official one, therefore, the stats shown in BFHQ won't be affected by playing PR.

And welcome to the forums

Hey Bro.

You will get better technical answers from the devs..but really quickly...

There are NO RANKED servers. Some servers use what is called ABR (alt. battlefield ranking). It uses the EA BF2 code and allows you to get points and ranks.

There are NO UNLOCKS in PR.

Hope this helps...it is the real quick answer version.

Well think of all the electricity wasted on lighting all those monitors just to see the caption "hmm" eh?

My rank keeps resetting itself, but since it doesn't really affect anything, and I don't get any new cool guns from it, then I've ceased to care about it since making the move to a superior game.

There's no unlocks in PR.

If you want a cool gun, then go and knife the idiot sniper on the other team or shoot an enemy and pick up their rifle...

Some use ranking systems other than ABR i think.

Sounds like promoting teamkilling by saying "shoot someone"...

Welcome to Project Reality and the forums. Please take 5 minutes to read the GUIDE section above. To answer your questions: there are no unlocks as mentioned, and rank is not important for any reason other than to increase the size of your e-penis.
However, if you'd still like your PR experience to be reflected by your rank, play on servers with "ABR" in their name. Google "Alternative Battlefield Ranking", you will find an ABR Tool which you must download and install. Then you can start PR right from the tool as it shows you a list of ABR-compatible PR servers.

In Europe I can recommend iGi and Thors Brigade, in the States there's always Tactical Gamer.

Good luck and see you on the battlefield!

Apart from Tactical Gamer being non-ranked...? Still a good server, though.

Ah, yes thank you. But you don't have to call me "Gawd" I'm not really the religious type anyway.

Seriously though, thanks for the edit.

Unless you're applying for Commander, in which case the temporary 'rank' does seem to count.

Tactical Gamer is a great server, but why do they lock it down to password a lot?

the Europlay server or whatever is good too.
