Honestly, I’d love to see the return of the Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 4 medal systems.
BF2 gave you that real sense of military progression, with ranks, time-based medals, and specific requirements that made each unlock feel like an achievement. BF4, on the other hand, nailed the balance between constant action-based rewards (like ribbons) and long-term goals (medals and assignments).
Battlefield 1’s system felt limited with the rotating medals, and BFV basically ditched it entirely. BF3 was solid, but I still think BF2 and BF4 had the most satisfying progression.
What do you guys think?
I loved the long-term-goal progression in BF2, I do wonder if the average player these days would have the patience to put up with it. But I think it would be cool to have.
I think in every Battlefield game the amount of people that actually worked on progression from a completionist perspective is very little. Most people just play the game and don’t really care for these rewards.
I never played BF2 so I can’t really say anything about that. My experience comes from BF4 and onwards.
Absolutely, Anobix,I loved it too! That long-term progression in BF2 really gave players something meaningful to work toward.
Sawtooth75, just leaving this here in case you're curious about how medals, badges, and ribbons used to work back then:

It was a different kind of grind, but definitely satisfying for those who enjoyed chasing goals.And the Ranking also had to do with those medals/badges/ribbons/time played -
