Two ideas, actually. First off, if anyone here has ever played Halo/Halo 2 multiplayer, then you know of that distinctive announcer voice that narrates the action. "Gained the lead! Lost the lead! Tied the leader! Killing spree! Double kill!" I think it would be cool if BF2 had voices for the following feats:
*Gaining the lead, Losing the lead, Tying the leader
*Killing spree (5 kills without dying), Running riot (10), In the zone (15), Un-freakin'-believable (20)
*Double kill (2 kills within 3 seconds of one another), Triple kill (3), Kill-tacular (4), Kill-trocity (5) Kill frenzy (6), Killamanjaro (7)
Of course, only the player who does them should hear them, and they can be turned on and off in the sound options.
And of course the kill list in the corner could occasionally have messages like "[QXJZ]Capt_Kefra is Running Riot!" or "tF-Hitman ends [QXJZ]Capt_Kefra's Killing Spree"
Second, in real life, badges, medals and ribbons can later be awarded with "oak leaf clusters" rather than awarding a second identical badge, medal or ribbon to the individual. Right now, for instance, the gap between Veteran and Expert badges is upwards of 85 hours. I think it would be cool if you could be awarded an "oak leaf cluster" or something if you should get a badge again. Like if you already have Veteran Knife and you get 7 knife kills in a round again, you can get, I don't know what EA would call them...hmm, a Veteran Knife Badge with Pink Fuzzy DICE™? Or something. That might make accumulating, say, the 85 additional hours towards Expert Assault (or whatever) a little more interesting.
Bleh...sorry for the mini-essay. So, good idea, bad idea, what?
