You know what would be cool in Brink, some badges, insignia, and monikers that you unlock through acquiring exp. We play as both factions. It'd be cool to somehow show progress in terms of moving up the ranks in the faction towards like the Chief level Mokena type figure. And as you play you create like a custom G.I. Joe type card (the ones that were on the back of the box) for each of your custom characters. With the picture of your dude and the information next to it. Some ideas I had for badges you could unlock are:

• Thief (how many times you broke in to the safe on Sec Tow as an example)

• Scientist

• Biochemist

• Field Medic

• Brain Surgeon

• Mercenary

• Detective

• Mechanic

• Ops Tech

• Rogue

Insignia could be obtained through Team-based goals reached. They could be something like:

• Initiate

• Acolyte

• Second

• First

• Squad Leader

• Chief

• Warden

• Founder

So that once you have your character maxxed out you can start earning another layer of progress. It'd also be cool to have a designation and point of Origin that you could choose. Like West Continent, North Atlantic. Just vague places that folks came from. Or Ark Lower.

This reminds me of nother game. Your idea is good but not for brink

I think its a great idea.

Awesome ideas!

Being able to set where you originally came from would be a great customization option, along with the ranks.

Here's something the puzzles me, though: We know Security as a military force, right? So what's the Resistance? A a militia? A 'band of brothers', or so to speak? Would their ranks be the same as the Security? Other than that small issue, I see no reason why this shouldn't be added!

Id like this, also could be cool if they were visible beside your name on the scoreboard. Be nice to earn badges as bragging rights. I dont think they should be exp based but given after hacking x# objectives, or for getting a certain number of kills with a weapon.

This honestly reminds me of Monster Hunter.

Or monday night combat. I like the idea.

Wolf you should just try to bring the whole thread over

I really enjoy this.

And a custom badge would be sweet and a good way to get a look at other people's characters.


Good idea bro. Hope to see it in use.

A Brink Trading Card game wtf? :blink:

Brain...cant...handle the...EPICNESS :shocking: But it reminds me of Black Ops to much

Reminds me of Halo.

REminds me of a Cupcake.

They aren't in game awards like kill medals, they're like tactics acheivements to tell you how you're doing with each class. "you are thiiiiiiiiis good" Medal.

It's a great idea, very much adds to the replayability of a game like this. especially when you're seeing 0's at the end of every match you still have something to work for.

This

This is exactly what Gears 3 has! Titles..
If you played the Beta then you know what Im describing.

Win 500 DM get a title
500 Lancer kills get a title
Play as Anya 75 times get a title
and so on...


It's not a bad idea by far it's just already or going to be done in Gears 3.
