    Just a small detail i was thinking ^^


    Btw i said top 100 because i think top 100 is great, it could be the top 10 or other ...
    Maybe the top 100 riders could have their username in yellow and not a "TP" near their username.
    I just think it would be cool if the speedrunners get more recognitions and why not give the envy for the new players to be better and better, to get this awards
    I think the top players get a lot of recognition with there name being on the top of the leaderboards to anybody who has this game for that platform. Its pretty much the point of leaderboards people will try to improve because of leaderboards. The small detail you are on about IS leaderboards :P.

    I always thought the TC and wrenches caused too much drama. Too many arguments arose from disagreements and such.

    I was a wrench holder or whatever, but I am glad to see none of that has returned...

    Recognition with the global leaderboard, not with leaderboards :

    For the Player's who are first, second and third in the global leaderboards they get a special color on their name, gold for 1st, silver for 2nd and bronze for 3rd, so that on every leaderboard, Track central, tournaments etc they have the color on there name so it is recognized they are in top 3 overall

    Other Special Tags - Jeruhnq

    N(Ninja)=Players who have completed all in game ninja tracks
    S(Speedrunner)Or TP(Top Player)=Players in top 100 Global leaderboards
    So if you are in the top 100, you obtain an awards as "TP" (Not true fan, 'true' player maybe ? lol) or maybe you username could change to the color yellow, or other.

    And then, anywhere you username is, people can see if you are one of the top speedrunners.
    - On the leaderboards of custom tracks
    - On the leaderboards of tournaments
    - In team (?)
    - In multiplayer (?)

    Also, It could improve the competition between players to get this awards
    That's why i think top 100 is great for this.

    It could be also :
    - Top 3 in global leaderboard = obtain their username in rainbow (#cod4infectedlobbystyle )
    - Top 10 in global leaderboard = obtain their username in gold
    - Top 100 in global leaderboard = obtain their username in silver
    - Top 1000 in global leaderboard = obtain their username in bronze

    Just think it could be a great awards for players who play for their position in the global leaderboard and the game could be more competitive

    Top 100 on PC is pretty easy, though. I'm pretty crap at this game and in top 50 on PC lol.

    Anyone here have the total number of people on console leaderboards? I think PC is around 70k. I remember a time when there was like 1m people on 360 in Trials HD

    I have no problem with True Fans and Wrenches. I don't think good things should be ruined because of the insecurities of a small number of people. That being said if it isn't going to be handled well and is only going to be half-assed, then it shouldn't be done at all. My 2 cents.

    I agree, if they are going to do it, they should do it properly, not give out too many TF or wrench awards so people won't be 'sad' that they don't have one

    Hey guys,

    Just a quick word about that.

    This idea is not at all out of question, though we have other focus at the moment:
    - Making an awesome multiplayer
    - Finalizing the "Team" feature
    - Improving Track Central
    - Improving tournaments
    - Some other small surprises

    + the 4 remaining DLCs

    We're quite busy right now but at some point, we may be able to look at this kind of improvements.

    Cheers,

    TFs and Wrenches make no odds to me really, but I have an alternative to both that are viable I reckon

    Instead of Wrenches, Cut the Featured section on TC in half and have a Featured Builder there,
    Changeable periodically it is a good way to show a builder they are an asset to TC and......yea, fairly straight forward I think,

    Instead of TFs, If its a way for RL to say, Thanks guys,to go that extra bit to showcase the game,...
    ...Gather up the GTs,IDs whatever that are noteable and stick em in a RL created track
    Loads of ways to implement this into tracks such as,
    Build track named. Community Spirit? Set in a little town with the town square shops names given to 'TFs'
    eg; Inflictor Sports, DJ Twitchy Records etc...
    Would be awesome and there would always be chance of a new track...?

    Also I would like to see (but too late now I suppose) maybe next game
    "A rating option for Ingame tracks"
    Surely its benificial to RL to know the good from the bad,
    And it would go someway towards answering the big question of, What makes a good track?

    Just thinkin' out loud
