"Its not the destination or goal that matters, its the journey getting there." This is most true with gaming. Once youre at the top, you find yourself trying to find reason to play, unles youve earned it and have loads of friends and acquaintances to keep the experience fresh.
Too true. I think that's why IW went to objectives/challenges to earn badges. It forces players to utilize and develop alternatives to what they are accustom to.
The Chrome Barrel challenges is diametrically opposite of the Slug Master Challenge.
As far as not caring whether you win or not: Sure its occasionally fun to go back to my first squad member, dig out the Honey Badger with tracker; light up a lobby and pop off a KEM, but where's the lasting fun in that?
Now its about getting those objectives completed that really challenge my abilities and sensibilities.
And with getting those various badges its not like I can fall back on my win percentage or K/D ratio to impress anybody - - - the DMR Iron Sights Master badge killed both of those - - - that's why I sport that badge on a Rainbow background and run around in a Ghillie suit.
And Rank is more function of time spent playing in a mode rather than actual skill.
I'm 150 or so on the PS4 FFA Leaderboard, but that's ONLY because I ONLY play core FFA and have 21000+ kills; NOT because I'm a talented COD player.
Be impressed, be very impressed ------------------------------------------ lol.
