Dog Tags

The idea is pretty interesting, it kinda seems dumb though.

Clan battles are the only way seem fit to do this with. Like mentioned before, not enough memory for that kind of feature. Who knows, it may work on PS3. The person that did the killing would have to be the only one to pick up the tags. That would be a good way to mock someone like an illegitimate admiral

I personally agree with the whole dog tag issue but I have my own tweeks for what should be done.

You can make your own tag and store it on your memory card. Make it for verified account holders only not to crowd the system. Make it so you can only have 10 tags at a time and whenever you kill someone you automatically pick up their tags and you can only store up to 10 tags total. All of this would be to help reduce space wasting.

All and all I think it would be a kewl "easter egg" type deal to make Socom an even more desirable game.

Yeh it's a cool Idea and with some tweaks like the ones above (and maybe a certain game developing company) Could work effectively.

The Clans only thing would be cool, so you can see who you've killed from different Clans. The dog tags shouldn't be 'customised' Just have the players name, clans name and maybe the Date of kill/little details (headshot with M4 ect.)

Remember metal Gear solid? You could get dog tags from single player and 'special' dog tags.

It's not neccisarily a rediculous Idea.

Glad for all the feedback, I still think we should have to venture out and get them ourselves as it gives us an extra challange, you kill the guy and want to mock him for it, why not have to go through a bit more to do it?

Maybe I was wrong about making them customizable (SP?) as the SEALs are obviously all the same in relation to details.

Also someone said something about only carrying a certain number each time, why? If you play a regular game yuo die only once anyway and in a respawn you die then come back alive (the whole point to respawn) so surely while he is pleeing with the higher authorities to let him go back to earth and fight he has the time to pick up another dog tag or 2 while hes there.

Creating a limit to the number of tags you can store is a good idea though, maybe upping the limit to 20 or so would be better. I cant see the tag taking much more than 1mb tops. Even if it was to implemented in a game it wouldnt be until the release of the PS3 anyway so we can store our own tags on our own HDD.

here's my problem with the idea, you kill me and get my dog tag proving it. then i go and kill you getting your dogtag proving it. now, you continue to kill me every round for the rest of the game and i don't get another kill on you. what's to stop me from just telling everyone "yeah i wiped the floor with that guy every round like a little b1tch! lol"

let's not forget the people that would glitch just to add your high ranking tags to thier list.

it's a good concept but there's really no feasible way to pull it off.
