Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Creates satisfying cumulative loops
  • Balances tactical against spatial effectively
  • Creates satisfying contextual loops
  • Easy to understand but difficult to master
  • Supports numerous viable strategies and approaches

Disadvantages

  • Creates potential for exploits by experienced players
  • Can create analysis paralysis if not carefully balanced
  • Can create power creep if not carefully balanced
  • Requires significant player feedback to implement well
  • Can create unfair when RNG is unfavorable

Implementation Patterns

Prestige System

Data-driven implementation that loads predictive badge / medal system for shooters configuration from external definitions.

class PredictiveBadgeMedalSystemForShootersManager {
  level = 1;
  points = 0;

  addXP(amount: number) {
    this.points += amount;
    while (this.points >= this.xpToNext()) {
      this.points -= this.xpToNext();
      this.level++;
      this.onLevelUp();
    }
  }

  xpToNext() {
    return Math.floor(100 * Math.pow(1.1, this.level - 1));
  }

  onLevelUp() {
    // Grant rewards for level level
    this.power += 2;
  }
}

Rank Coordinator

Data-driven implementation that loads predictive badge / medal system for shooters configuration from external definitions.

class PredictiveBadgeMedalSystemForShootersEngine {
  level = 1;
  progress = 0;

  addXP(amount: number) {
    this.progress += amount;
    while (this.progress >= this.xpToNext()) {
      this.progress -= this.xpToNext();
      this.level++;
      this.onLevelUp();
    }
  }

  xpToNext() {
    return Math.floor(100 * Math.pow(1.2, this.level - 1));
  }

  onLevelUp() {
    // Grant rewards for level level
    this.power += 5;
  }
}
