Support Class Badges

For Support/Medic class:

Concept: Bronze, Silver, Gold, badges based on the player’s average revive count when playing as that class. Levels could be added to indicate frequency of play as that class, and fringe for average frequency of revives when playing as other classes. This medal would appear on the player’s card during loading and end screens, signaling player quality to the squad.

Challenge: make this accolade essential non-grindable, in the sense that, while players could technically grind to get their medal, there would still be some indication of the recency of their achievement, so that if they stopped playing as that class, the medal would indicate its underuse.

Proposal: Maybe a red border to indicate the player has, within their last 50-100 games, maintained that medal by continuing to perform at a certain average. 

As a longtime COD player, I fell in love with this class over the weekend. Rather than being motivated by rage and lone-wolf run-and-gunning, playing as and observing other medics reduced my tendency to rage, increased my care and caution, and inspired me to play more intentionally and with the good of the squad in mind.

Similar accolades could be available for other classes, and could appear when the player has selected and played as that class.
