Unranked:

Battlefield 4 unranked servers drastically change gameplay and do not award soldier progression. Learn about custom settings like player limits.

Unranked servers in Battlefield 4 utilize settings that are known to drastically change how the game is played. Because of these altered settings, no soldier progression (experience points or unlocks) is awarded when playing on unranked servers.

For example, an unranked server hosting the Defuse game mode can have its maximum player limit set to 16 players, a setting that differs from standard configurations.
