Improvements in a player's general and class-specific skill level are rewarded periodically with promotion to a superior rank. Ranks in Enemy Territory range from Private to General. (and their Axis counterparts) Ranks are displayed on the player's helmet for everyone to see. Ranks are a visible warning to the enemy of a player’s current skill level and experience points.
