Your rise in rank by over all score. This includes kills, and other factors such
as healing, repairing, capping Silos, flags, assist kills. It's all formulated together and is what advances you in rank.

BF1942 was much more simplified in all aspects. You could pretty much always
tell where killing fire shots came from. The terrain and buildings were much simpler too.

BF1942 evloved into BF2 with more buildings...advanced weaponry. Even in BF2 you can get shot and know not where from...but usually you have a good idea.

BF2 evolved into BF2142 with even more complex and varied building design.
As such...on large populated servers...you have ppl that lie in hard to see areas and wait for others to do the moving around. You more often than not DO NOT see (or have any idea) where that shot came from.

I too am not thrilled to die and the Heads Up Display text doesn't tell me what or who killed me. In BF2142, I'd say almost half my deaths are a complete mystery to me!

You might like BF2 better...it's the same game engine and less complicated for newcomers to this series.
