What is with this obsession of unlocking?

This isn't Battlefield afterall... thank god.
A game should be fun to play, from the first run onwards. Rewarding players who invest their life into playing a game just seems wrong. Either you're going to keep liking it, or you're not, changing the way a weapon fires doesn't make the game more fun, and adding weapons is pointless, especially in a game with no managed/official servers.

Yeah, the design of the game really doesn't compliment unlocking.

Dunno, if it was directed at my silly idea but just to clear things up. I'm also against unlocking items. My idea was more of single player/campaign thing and it's not so much of unlocking than just a fun "stats" thing where it keeps of certain goals that have to be accomplished.

For instance, people who cannot play on the net for some reason like I when I'm at home I get lags all over, or if the net is down etc. but that person wants to play Nexuiz there could be a fun campaign additional to the (now) standard campaign game modes mixed in together.

And for the "stats" thing it could be like gaining a title or something, and also, it doesn't even need to be shown in multiplayer (although that would be cool :P) That's what I more or less meant.
