Outside Ranking System: Clan Medals

Kimo Ting · 04-25-2006

This is an Idea I posted on my Clan Forum. Was wondering what people thought of it, whether I shuld implement it or not...

I Just had an Idea.

Basically, the Ranking system on Socom 3 is really ****ed up. 1/2 the time it dosn't register your stats and You can win a game with 22 kills and 2 deaths, win MVP and still go down in rank.

So, **** the system. How about we create our own?

I was looking up Navy Medals and found a bunch of interesting things. We could assign different Medals to different tasks (like getting 20 kills in a match or something) and award them to clan members. Encouraging Play and showing different clan memebers at different stages of skill and experience. You could win a medal for sniping, for assaulting or even completing objectives. We could then organise the clan better with tactics based on clear prefereance. It also makes us look more professional (more stuff we can fill up the website with when it's created).

Basically, Stats are important to me - And Socom 3 dosn't provide that. I think this is a cool Idea.

Some Of the Medal Ideas:

Playing X Clan Matches
Scoring X Kills
X kills in a row (rampage)
Staying with the clan for X time
Effectively swinging the Match outcome
Qualified Sniper Medal
Qualified Assault Medal
Qualified Tactical Player award
Qualified Stealth award
'Barbarian' award for being ruthless
Medals in each of the game modes
Qualified Team Leader
Clan Member of the Month Award

Someone who's higher up the clan like me or you would decide if someone is worthy of an award and it would be recorded on the website for all to see.

It might seem like an over the top Idea, but I think it's cool. I need some sort of insentive to do great deeds in socom 3. And it pretty much complelty boycotts the game's failed ranking system.

Some of the best clans do this, even we thought about doing it before. But you've got to get your clanmates up to it.. Our other problem arose when we decided we only like playing respawns, and the only way to track kills and so on would be to track it by hand. Way way tedious. But it's a great idea.

Yeah it wouldn't be easy to implement.

Damn though, I thought it was an original Idea :(

lol I got pictures of all the medals and Ribbons too.

ya it is a good idea. my clan also does the same thing (jus cant see it in name, we post as clan news). its a good idea and i would stick with it.

What kind of things do you award medals for and how does your system work?

we give awards per game, week, month, and year (best player of the game, week, month, and year). we give *'s, * for best player of the game (game = clan match), ** for week, *** for month, and **** for year. jus tell ur leader, if ur not, to try this, its worked good for us to get our guys to play better. ez.
