Idea for medal rewards

[RpTheHotrod]

At the moment, medals give nothing. How about this?

NOT INCLUDING 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals!

Imagine your unlocks being in tiers. For example, let us use assault. Defib is tier 1, advanced medpack is tier 2, smoke grenade is tier 3, and voss is teir 4. The lower on the ladder, the lower the tier. The higher on the ladder, the higher the tier.


For every medal you earn, you get an upgrade point.

Every one of your unlocks can be upgraded. The cost to upgrade depends on its tier. A tier 1 unlock takes 1 upgrade point. A tier 4 upgrade takes 4 upgrade points.

Upgrading an unlock makes it better in some way. An engineer could upgrade his anti-tank rocket to reload faster. A support could upgrade his scanner to scan 360 instead of 90 degrees. A recon could upgrade his inviso device to give off no sound. Assault could upgrade his weapon to include a larger clip. A squad leader could upgrade his squad leader beacon to have his old beacon auto-destroy when placing a new one.

Just some upgrades that wouldn't be overpowered. Perhaps the larger clip would add 5 or 10 more bullets. Maybe the support scanner doing 180 and not 360. Just things that are nice little upgrades...but don't overpower the item.

There arn't too many medals...so no one could fully upgrade their gear. For example, it would take 10 medals just to upgrade one side of a class' unlock. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10

Something like this would require much planning...since there's no going back...so why not have a once a week ability that allows you to take back an upgrade?

Assault could upgrade his weapon to include a larger clip.

I think it would be a bad idea because that's what the whole point of the two different unlocked guns are for, and they're balance already seeing as the baur is more effective at long range and slightly more powerful with a small clip.

If you could have a larger clip it would make other weapons obsolete.

Think of some upgrades that wouldn't break balance. I was just throwing it out there. Maybe less sway while zoomed in or something. Minor upgrades...that are just "nice" to have...but doesn't make/break the weapon.

I kindof agree with things like reloading faster, but technically wouldn't that be a player ability rather than an upgrade for the weapon?


Maybe an idea could be an addon for the sniper rifle, if lets say, mr.sniper is hiding in a tower, and he happens to see mr.tank, he can shoot a tracking bullet which sticks to mr.tank and it'll be on the map constantly.


This idea is probably retarded as vehicles die pretty fast anyway but hey :laugh: I tried :P

I think everything is fine the way it is minus the bugs.

i like the idea, the more options the game has the better. make it more fun to play and also add some life to it (considering everyone seems to be ranking-up so dam fast!)

[Shadowace]

idk, i think if they just have metals reward points it would be all good

I think for every medal you get a coupon for a free lap dance at the strip club of your choice should be automatically emailed to you. It will help the economy and give me a reason to see some strippers. Someone in the EA marketing department should get to work on this ASAP.

1000 pts for expert badges neway, im good... although I wished you could get the sprint bar on the kit select screen full with unlocks and still keep heavy armor on.

My idea for medal rewards:

get rid of medals entirely. gg
