I'll warn you now this is a decent sized post so if you wish scroll down for the tl;dr version.
Now this probably isn't a new idea, but i think it's worth posting and detailing why this is important to the game. What I'm talking about is a challenge system. If you want to pull a " well then g0 playz c4ll of D00TY" i highly suggest not doing so unless you want to look like a fool.

Basically this is going to be for the guy who has beaten campaign on legendary, played thousands of games etc. etc. You'll have an option in the matchmaking lobby to view it. Once you've selected it you'll see a variety of military ribbons and medals. You can move your cursor over them to view the requirements, and from the same screen look at how much you suck compared to your super cool friends.

Something like this would not only increase the longevity of the game for even some of the best, but it would also give incentive to pick up some other weapons. Some examples, Get 1,000 kills with the sniper, get 100 killing sprees, you get the idea. I'm sure a lot of you would play the game endlessly regardless, but this would definitely throw some incentive in there.

tl;dr version: In game "achievements" should be added. Get 1,000 kills with the sniper, get 100 killing sprees etc. You can compare the one's you've gotten with your friends and give yourself an obnoxious sense of superioty !

Feel free to comment and share your ideas. :D

A very good idea indeed. It would be cool if you could be rewarded with something for doing this, maybe armor...or, maybe, a MAP! Heh, the Champion's map...that would cause some ruckus...
