Badge System. +1 for CF
So lately I haven't been really interested in playing CF. It had gotten really boring, there was no point in ranking up, and I just had more things I would rather do/play. Then the new patch came out and they introduced the new badge system.
Similar to getting titles and such in MW2, where you have to get a certain amount of kills to be rewarded with a badge. Now there is a reason to start playing again, its a fresh race for the new players and old players alike. Players are now rushing into TDM rooms, S&D rooms, GM rooms, and for once in a while, not leaving the room to restart or reset score. There are no farmers and so everyone has a chance of becoming one of the first to get the colored and hard to obtain ELITE badges.
Time to get working again guys.
What are your opinions?

No farmers ? Oh really ?
You only have to be 6 players in the room for the kills to count towards your badges, and whatever security Z8 might have put to prevent farm can easily be circumvented. A few hours after the patch, some people were already sporting the elite badge. Others had the 2nd and 3rd knifing badge. That's a lot of kill per hour, A LOT.
In a TD, I usually end up among the first with a KDR of at least 2 and it took me approximately the same time to get the Soldier badge only (though I often get disconnected but still you get the point).
Now onto what I think of the badges : I'm very disappointed.
When I first heard of it, I thought it was a good idea, it's always great to have something to play for, the missions for example, were welcomed. But those badges lacks originality. It's just kill, kill and kill. I'll just keep playing as usual, for the missions or to break any temp weapons, and have the badges slowly with time.
Z8 could have put other criteria for obtaining them :
- x number of games won/played
- x number of kill during specific mode
- x number of specific actions (planting/defusing/revenge/etc.)
- x number of (mode specific) missions fulfilled
And the rewards aren't interesting so far : 2000GP for the first badge. The equivalent of 4 missions. Wow. Why not give temporary weapons right from the beginning. Even if it's regular GP shop weapons, it makes sense to give a 7-days rifle or MG to a freshly badged soldier. They could also give new and different rewards, BM coupons or crates for example.
Oh and picking up another player's weapon or EM mode weapons doesn't count towards the badge... lame and unjustifiable (unless they can't track it). It's part of how you play, and this is what the badges are supposed to reflect. -

lol. maybe theyre trying to stop gun stealing?
well anyways badges just seem like having a second rank o.o
so considering it takes a longer time to rank up the higher you go this isnt a bad idea -

Noobs were scared when they entered a room and saw a captain or LT or whatever, now they have something else to be afraid of... ZOMG ELITE BADGE RUN AWEH!!!!!
OT: I feel stupid because I didn't know you could get rewards for them. That makes them even more sexymazing than before. -
So far...I've had to complete level one Scout badge twice just for it to work. Now I have to complete the second level again just so i can move on. That 1400 kills alone. I'll probably focus on badges when the glitches and such are fixed.
Oh, Mem are nub.
