I`m not gonna go too much into the psychology of computer games, but the 400 hours expert tank badge is in a way forcing a gaming addiction onto the players of BF2.
The inclusion of a rank/reward system is brilliant, it makes the game more interesting and longer lasting, but there is a limit for how much time you as a player should spend on pursuing the ranks and medals.
In my view i think Dice has put to high demands in respect to the time the player has to put in to reach the top rank and get all the awards.
I find myself obsessing about BF2, that means i`m partially hooked and i`m not liking the idea that a computer game can make me prioritize playing BF2 instead of spending time with friends, family and my wife.
Look at how the MMORG`s are creating recluse people who more or less spend all their time on line and in some ways give up their personal life to "become" their on line character.
If the gaming industry want`s to continue to be as loosely controlled as they are now i thing it`s about time they realize their impact on peoples life's and start restraining them selves before the government does it for them.
