User blog:Nayhem/Gameplay

There are pages on the wiki relating to stuff other than shooting stuff and the people/vehicles that do it. Many of these topics used to be lumped under a "Concepts" category that was ill-defined and thus became bloated in some areas, and isolated in other areas.

I am taking some time to better organize what now falls under the general heading of Gameplay:


 * Feature: Anything given its own out-of-game menu (e.g. Customization, Awards) or service (Battlelog, Battlefield Premium).


 * Concept: Rules that affect how in-game characters and objects behave.


 * Mechanic: Systems by which a player may interact with the gameworld through their character, i.e. anything that has a keyboard/mouse/joystick button.


 * Movement: Mechanics that cause character/vehicle movement.


 * Gamemode Element: Gameworld objects that relate directly to a gamemode or scoring.


 * Objects: Other gameworld objects without an influence on scoring.

As a general rule, if you can select it from the Customization screen of any game, it doesn't fall under Gameplay since it likely has its own section (e.g. kits, weapons, gadgets, specializations).
