BFBC2 On the scoreboard, what are the numbers in white squares?

On the BFBC2 scoreboard, to the left of some player names there is either a black dash or a number in a white square. What is this for?


Solution 1:

That's a player's veteran status, or in other words the number of previous Battlefield games they've played and linked to their current EA account.
