Suggestion for improving playing to win spirit

[Batausu]

I just found out about this commander glitch, which get your score multiplied.
So I start thinking, what if the whole team would get their score multiplied?
Wouldn't this be a real incentive to play better and more team oriented?
The winning team would get the score doubled. Commander's score would still be derived the same way it is now.
This suggestion has nothing to do with the glitch, that needs to be addressed as soon as possible or else more people would get their stats reset.
What do you think?

A great way to improve teamwork would be if the best squad on each side at the end of a round got a points reward, not just anyone
that would encourage switching teams and the opposite of teamwork - point farming
So no your idea is poorly thought out

You are right, I am playing mostly on servers that don't allow team switching, so I forgot about this aspect. But some way to reward team work should be put in place.

What if your teamwork score was doubled when you won and only if you were in a squad for the majority of the round.

You want to improve teamwork? Remove all personal stats. Except for win/loss record. That's the only way.

Because as counterstrike has shown us, teamwork will happen naturally[/sarcasm]
For future games there needs to be a rethink of the way that teamwork is done. A failed mod for Halflife 2 nailed it - you were forced by the very dynamic of the gameplay design to play as a team - the minimap showed you the quickest route to your objective and people followed it meaning that the team stayed together at all times because they all used the same path. Such a shame that the mod - point of attack - was of such poor quality.

You get teamwork points no matter if you play in a team, or solo, so doubling teamwork points to everyone in the wining team, wouldn't be rewarding teamplay. Rewarding the best team sounds like a good idea to me.

Play with people you know or play on the same server a lot. That promotes teamwork.

Hire some Dutch hookers to give the members of the winning side's best squad some "extra attention" after they win a round on a non-switching server.

I'm sure Rombaft could hook us up. Even though he's just a Belgian.

Re: Suggestion for improving playing to win spirit

lets face it, there is no easy way to force ppl to be more team-oriented in their gameplay...

i was thinking maybe only allowing ppl that are in squads to gain team-points.....but that would only create more dysfunctional squads full of lone-wolves

how about awarding extra 'duty points' for following the commander's/squad leader's orders.....
