Bad Company 2 Ranks 41-50

Bad Company 2 Lieutenant Colonel Rank II

Due to the huge number of experience points necessary to reach the higher ranks, and the relatively small number of players who have done so thus far, the experience point totals for levels 41-50 have yet to be officially confirmed. These numbers are based on the best information available, and all the ranks for each level are correct.

  • Level 41, Lieutenant Colonel II, is unlocked at 3,142,000 experience points.

  • Lieutenant Colonel III is unlocked at 3,378,000 points. Level 42 is unlocked, as well.

  • Level 43, Colonel I, is yours at 3,604,000 points.

  • Earn 3,852,000 experience to reach level 44 and the rank of Colonel II.

  • Colonel III and level 45 are unlocked at 4,090,000 experience points

  • Bad Company General of the Army Rank

    Become a Brigadier General I at level 46 after earning 4,350,000 experience points.

  • Level 47 is the rank of Brigadier General II and is unlocked at 4,600,000

  • Brigadier General is the rank associated with level 48 and is unlocked at 4,872,000 experience.

  • Level 49, General, is yours at 5,134,000 experience.

  • Finally, level 50 and the rank of General of the Army is yours at 5,400,000 experience points.

Working through all these ranks can take a huge amount of time, and only the most dedicated of players are destined to reach the higher ranks. Many will likely take this as a challenge, though, so it wouldn’t surprise me to start running into groups of players who have reached General of the Army in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sometime soon.
