Challanges = InGame Reawards? An Idea

(Rubbaduren) #1

I havent bought the game yet, due to me having alot of exams nowadays (been spending alot of time doing “research” about the game, so I could just as well by and play it!). Definitely going to! From what I’ve been reading on different forums, it seems that the game could end up losing alot of players, due to the fact that it doesn’t have the “carrot” that alot of players have gotten used to, mainly because of CoD. All of said players seem to think the only solution is the “ADD MORE LEVELS! PRESTIGE!” etc.

I think that the game would benifit from having some kind of “carrot”, but definitely not the prestige, lvl kind. Adding elements in the game that can keep the players that doesn’t want to stick around for a long time solely for the gameplay, will in the long run make it a better game for everyone.

My suggestion is (instead of having more levels, prestige etc), have challanges that rewards different clothing/accessories.

In my opinion, it should be challenges that enhances teamwork (which is what the game is about), and berhaps things that happenes kind of “random”.

A couple of challange suggestions:

  • Finish an objective in a short amount of time
  • Get X amount of kills while “fully” buffed
  • Get X amount of xp while defending an objective
  • Get a 3+ kills in a short amount of time
  • Hack X number off controlposts
    etcetc

In my oppinion, the rewards should have some coherence to the challenge, but that would be hard to implement to ALL off the challenges

As mentioned, I have no actual in-game experiense yet, but this is things I think would add something.

Discuss, flame, whatever, response will be appreciated :wink:

The game has challenges that give rewards. Mainly new weapons/weapon accessories.

There are four challenges, one trying to teach you better movement using the SMART features, one teaching you better teamwork where none of the AI on your team complete objectives, one that you have to use the engineer’s abilities to protect a command post, and the last one is an escort challenge.

There are 3 levels to each challenge, while level one and two of each give you rewards and the third puts your score on the scoreboard.

Yeah, I know about that. Was thinking of small challanges, that is in the multiplayer (or ofc playing v bots) in the normal gamemodes. There is challanges already, for instance the “shoot a granade to kill” (?) (one in a million or something). Have that same type of challanges, but instead of rewarding gamerpoints, it rewards things for the character customization.

In my opinion, this would, in addition to have more customization, have some fun goals ingame, that can keep players around for a longer time, increasing the success of this game. Having a bigger player base, means that Splash Damage probably would make a bigger effort in making this game the most it can be, something I would love, because I think that, eben though this game looks awesome, it has an even bigger potental!

The challenges I mentioned don’t reward with achievements. The ones I was talking about actually give you things. They are not the same as the “Shoot a grenade” things.

When you play, you can select “Campaign” “Freeplay” or “Challenge”. Challenges completed reward things like the gotling gun, silencers, bigger magazines ect.

Yeah, I know, have been “researching” alot about how this game works (beeing a student, I cant buy whatever games that comes out, living on a budget :stuck_out_tongue: ) Im not talking about the challanges that give you weapon attachements (Not sure about the names, “parkout this” “be more objective” ?)

If you will, call then achievements. Not rewarding anything that changes your gameplay, but gives something that you only get, if you have done one of said challanges. For instance, in “Free Play”, if you kill someone trying to defuse a planted bomb 10 times, the reward is a new colorscheme for “The Bug”.
