I don't want to uninstall the game to check this out.
Can anyone tell me, if it's needed to keep the 1.02-Patch on my harddisk, or can i install my game and then V1.03 without V1.02?

I have 6551 Point. Since the new patch i'm promoted to Staff Sergeant. Before the patch i had needed 50.000 points for this rank!!!
I think it isn't good to get the higher ranks that easy.

Because of the promotion i have now already 4 weapons unlocked (G36, Sniper, PKM, Gun for Medic).
But i only can use the weapons when i play as USMC. Anyone else with the same problem? Don't know if this was also so before the V1.03 update.

Does someone know, until when all the ranked servers must be updated to V1.03?

The "keep it to kosmiq's thread" sounds good enough for me...

About updates and other questions, here is what I know:
1. You can apply the 1.03 patch directly without installing the previous (1.02) one. You can also update from 1.02 to 1.03.
2. They have lowered the requirements for each rank very drastically so it will be easier for people to gain all unlocks. However they have also added new ranks that is higher up. Something about Officer ranks and so on, more ribbons have also been added and a few more medals if I am not mistaken.
3. That you can only use your weapons with USMC is strange. It has always been so that all 3 teams have been able to use the unlocks, otherwise it would be kinda pointless. Report the bug to EA and maybe they can help you out.
4. I doubt that there is a certain limit to when the servers must be updated, but my guess is that they will be very soon anyway. Simply because most users updates their game as soon as they find out about the patch.

Should clear some things out...
