Games that require subscription are heavy on progression because they need to keep players interested longer so that they will continue to subscribe. In non-subscription games, like BFBC2 and CoD: MW2, unlocks allow players to choose from a larger variety of weapons, but don’t necessarily give them an advantage. Also, unlike in MMOs, these games do not make a distinction between leveling and the endgame; the fun starts from the beginning and right as the player starts to get bored with his arsenal, he gets new weapons to try out.

MMORPGs and, to a lesser extent, RPGs have always had grinding, so the trend is hardly new. Progression is still rather new to FPSes, but the lack of a grind makes the game fun from the beginning and you can usually unlock everything in around 40 or 50 hours of playtime. This progression system keeps hardcore players happy, while allowing casual players to experience it at their own pace.

Hamma : Only once in the first season that is correct

Yes he did, but he completed his primary objectives and the hostage didn’t get harmed. Died a Hero ( In-game )

@Richard None of those guys were Navy Seals or Force Recon. Some were RECON but not Force Recon. You should really pay close attention before shooting from hip. Also the show is just show casing the abilities. In a real OP he would NEVER go in alone. So if your argument is based off of him not carry lockpick or bolt cutters then you seriously are just arguing for arguing sakes.

Good job MIke for nailing Richard on his comment. He had no place to criticize The show and get his 2 Cents worth in.

@Richard
Richard,

Dont be a hater… Wil clearly has a lot of skill (anyone in the military can see this) and the show is entertaining… dont watch the show dumb a## and continue your military training/education… Call of Duty 3.

Nat Geo had a multi-part series on Pararescue training a couple years ago. Very intense and just unbelievable the high level of fitness and overall fortitude physically and mentally that these guys go through in this 2 year course.

One part of the series was covering airborne operations including dropping inflatable boats (motor included) and getting it inflated and operational in the water after the jump. Of course military freefall etc. was covered. Who was one of the main instructors during this? Yup, Wil Willis. The guy know his stuff and not only did it but taught it.

Sure they add drama and stuff to the show, because it’s entertainment, not a field manual. @Richard. Understand what you’re seeing here. Scripted TV for entertainment. Not malign Wil’s quals because of a TV show. What to see him as a Pararescue instructor. Go look at the Documentary “Rescue Warriors”. I think that should cover his resume.

@Richard Have you ever served our armed forces? It's a show. I saw the episode in question. He explaned that he went to stand to to let his eyes adjust. It's morons like yourself that don't understand that it's just for entertainment, not real life.
