I am hoping that Battlefield 1 gets executed correctly by giving the players the ability to work towards new camos for weapons and vehicles. Being able to look through a catalog of camos and requirements to acquire would give the players incentive to play the game for hours and hours. Especially if more stylish camos were harder to obtain and no run-of-the-mill player could get. It would also be a treat if the player got a certain amount of kills or head-shots with a specific vehicle to get there clan tag or something similar scratched into it. Hopefully, if this were to happen, this isn’t only for camos and clan tags on weapons, but maybe skins on melee weapons, different helmets, and clothes for different challenges, ranging in difficulty, are completed.

BF3 had really cool dog tags. I couldn’t believe how they toned them down so much in BF4. I like the idea of having to put actual time and effort in to unlock some decent stuff. Nice thread i’m all for it.

I agree. I think they should include natural solid colors and make them look used and somewhat beat up and scratched, and have other kinds of camos like a dark red and black tiger stripe camo or a green and brown leaf camo

I was never a big fan of the gun camo thing (although i think i equipped it on a couple of guns - not many). I did like the dog tags though more than anything. The emblems were ok, but again i could easily do without… I was not one of the people complaining when they didn’t work.

I do miss the stat dog tags so people could show off a certain stat. It was subtle and didn’t really alter the view in game.

I agree. I think you should be able to find a challenge for a dog tag you want and go for it. And if you want a sick tag, then you have to do hard challenges and earn it and really make it yours.

The game should not be fun to play because you can unlock that looks different. In Battlefield 2 it took some time before you unlocked a new weapon. With sometime I mean like a good week of solid game play.  
This modern COD incentive driven games do not last because the may focus is on giving new things to players and after a year one runs out of new things to give a player.

Battlefield 1 should be fun to play because of the teamwork and the general combat engagements. Not because you will unlock a new gun attachment after you kill X enemies.

Good game design and good map design makes great games!

Then they don’t make yellow blue and pink ones? Look at DICE’s previous games, do they have this sort of camos?

BF4 has loads if camos, various patterns and color schemes. Nothing wrong with those sort of camos.

People want to customize their soldiers and weapons, is there something wrong with it?
