You've probably read in one of our news update that we are planning to add an official stats (statistics) and awards system to Forgotten Hope 2. Now, we've already done quite some work and testing on this, but I feel we can do with some extra input. At the moment, I feel our awards are too similar to Battlefield 2's awards and who better to ask for ideas about unique FH2 awards than the FH2 community?
Our awards will work quite similar to the ones already in Battlefield 2. When you play on a 'ranked' server, all your information will be send to our awards website (which is currently offline, or I would show it to you) and on this website you can see your stats (how long you played, how many kills you made, etc) and your awards (medals awarded for doing various things). You can, of course, also view other people's stats and see who the top FH2 players are. Which servers are 'ranked' is carefully regulated. Server admins will have to run with specific server variables (like ticket settings and spawn time) and have to apply for 'ranked' server status.
Awards will be for show only, you will not be able to get better weapons like in Battlefield 2.
So, I would like you to think about and discuss the following:
- How do you feel about an official stats / awards system?
- What kind of awards should there be?
- Should awards be serious (
like BF2) or fun (
like TF2)?
- Should the focus lay on teamwork or individual achievements?
- Should we make our own awards, or focus on historical medals (or a combination)?
Feel free to suggest awards you would like to see and what kind of requirements would be needed to obtain them. We are restricted to the same amount of awards in Battlefield 2, which is 150, so there is plenty of room.
