@RevoPlays@BattleNonSense@Brammflakes@TheFaithSheriff Squad has almost zero progression system and has a pretty healthy player base.
progression is just chasing a carrot not gameplay.
If the core gameplay loop can’t stand on its own - that’s a boring game.
@RevoPlays@BattleNonSense@Brammflakes@TheFaithSheriff BF2 didn’t have “progression”
BC2 has limited progression
COD4 has limited unlocks
Just chasing gear unlocks that turn into power creep is insanely difficult to balance.
That game modes and sandbox are the experience not arbitrary unlock tree.
@puknguy2@swaguley I haven’t seen a single team shooter in recent years have a successful skin system - hunt showdown & Tarkov might be the closest to it
