    Why can you unlockall in zombie mode? ranks are skillbased, I don't see a reason to be able to show off ranks that you don't deserve. Zombies were always about reaching the highest score and maintaining good stats and climbing the leaderboard, It's fine that some players want to casually kill zombies but there's no point in giving out free ranks since it doesn't change anything in game.

    There is no point in giving out free complaining about ranks since it doesn't change anything in game.

      Xerxes Good point, so why not have legit ranks? Everyone is happy. We get the competitive nature of the leaderboards and the noobs get to run with permaperks and godmode or whatever is unlocked.

        Good question, because then development time would have to be spent on something we can both agree is pointless.

          Xerxes Yea, no, I didn't agree to it being useless. Brother, I'd pay for a small icon next to my name certifying i'm a true OG zombie killer and didn't mod my way to higher rank than I should

            QCAnnihilatorQC because skill is more important than rank. If you're good just show it. No need to have someone certify it. This is a lot of dev time for something only a tiny minority of people want. This is the first I've heard this in 3 years

              Resxt Yea except there is no matchmaking and trying to meet actual good players for a private match is a chore when there is no ranks. Back in the days you could simply back out of the lobby if you were matched with new players.

                QCAnnihilatorQC quit crying or go play something with a real ranked mode. the zombies ranks have never meant anything since day 1 back in the day someone would sit in a glitch for a week and get shotguns just to suck at the game when they actually played. on the other hand youd have regular skull ranked people who could carry you to round 100+ but have low ranks because the system sucks anyway

                  QCAnnihilatorQC theres people that just download game and they know how to play the game with one bone or they reset rank just to troll people.

                  once the steam check gets fully added 60% of new players with max rank will drop out due to not owning.

                  problem solved , sorta

                    @Mar-Astaguas sounds like excuses you're making for being bad, an exploiter will drop pretty quick to knife and then skull if they keep dying while not maintaining ratio. The fact that you didn't care back in the days isn't true for everyone. The system didn't suck and reflected how good you were at the game. But I'm done arguing, it's fine that you aren't competitive by nature and like to play pretend, just remember that we aren't all betas not interested in competition lmao.

                      QCAnnihilatorQC Unlock all is an optional choice, beneficial for players who have already reached the maximum rank on either Steam or console already, especially considering the game's age of over 10 years. With numerous infection videos available in theater mode for both platforms, attaining max rank becomes easy, as many players on those platforms have either used a glitch, mod, or did an infection. For players who prefer the traditional method of grinding for rank, they can simply avoid using unlock all. It's that simple, and rank never truly reflected skill back in the day, but rather the amount of time spent in the game

                        RedxSkull Thanks for not being hostile but I disagree with you simply because it's not how ranks work, they do not reflect time spent, they reflected ratio. Ok sure there was a small kill treshold you had to reach before upgrading to knife and then shotguns (around 5k for skull, 10k 70 kdr for knife and 20k 200kdr for shotguns). The rest was skillbased while tally marks and blue eyes meant consecutive days played. IDK what you're talking about by most players reached such ranks with glitches, because such players would derank pretty quick if they cant keep with ratio. I myself maxed in zombies on both ps3 and x360 without glitches and about to on plutonium.

                          QCAnnihilatorQC I never stated how rank works, I stated that it never truly reflected skill back in the day. This means OG players who were good at zombies never considered someone with shotguns to be skilled at all, because many had obtained it without genuine skill, using other means. Too many glitches, mods, etc., existed to quickly gain rank until this day. Seeing someone with shotguns who played badly didn't surprise anyone. It's the same for MP. Seeing someone with a high rank over others didn't necessarily mean they were a skilled player. They simply had more free time on their hands, played non stop or found shortcuts/glitches for fast exp, and didn't have other commitments like others who work, etc.

                            Resxt It's definately not a tiny minority that wants leaderboards just like in the steam and console version. It's the whole point of playing. I installed plutonium yesterday in hopes of finding a normal game of buried grief. Since i have to wait days alone in the console and steam lobbies and still not have anyone join in. I was very dissappointed to find out there's no leaderboards. I am back on the steam version now since there is completely no point to play without leaderboards, it's what the game is all about. For a plutonium staff member you really do not understand the game itself which is odd af imo.

                                Resxt Are you actually serious, how are you plutonium staff. Did you buy yourself into your position or what? Why do you argue now that leaderboards is not the topic. Does that matter? Are you a teenager or are you actually a monkey? Because you come over as both. You're are acting like you know how the game works. But you come of as a complete noob if you don't get that leaderboards are important and the game revolves around it. You really have no idea what the hell i'm saying? Or can i talk to an actual serious plutonium staff member who is not a monkey and does understand what the fuck i'm saying?

                                  JimmyCapRx This is not true at all. And wtf are you talking about round 100? it varies per map. Someone who's lvl 3 is not going to carry anyone to a decent high round. You are talking straight out of your ass man. Then you say quit crying? You arrogant idiot. Regular skull ranked you call that. Lvl 3 people are garbaaaage. Just like you, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. The game is about experience and leaderboards. QCAnnihilatorQC desrves a lot more respect for this great and relevant thread he made. The system sucks anyway? It doesn't at all, it says everything, the rank is a result of your combined stats which all appear on the stat section of the leaderboard. But there's really no point explaining how the game works to you, you arrogant idiot waste of time u are.

                                    Xerxes you are not seeing the point man. The game is all about leaderboard. It's what gives it meaning to play. it's designed around it, the maps , the stat system. There is no such thing as free rank. The level is determined on the stat section of the leaderboard.
                                    Again another person who calls himself "plutonium staff" but has no idea how the actual game works. I installed it in hopes of finding more players then on the steam or console version. But since there is no leaderboard it's a complete waste of time to play since the entire game is based on it. So i played plutonium once and never again, there is no reason to play it without leaderboards it's so bad. plutonium sucks ass.

                                          Not sure why a number on a online dick measuring contest is that important for you, especially when almost everyone is cheating anyways. IMHO playing with friends and having fun > going for big numbers.
                                          But since you like them here take this one 42069.
