What makes a player good?

Re: What makes a player good?

Someone that can be all things when needed. An overall well balanced player that has a team oriented style of game play.

Well said.

A 'good' K/D ratio will make you look good, but I doesn't make you a good player.
A Medic's job isn't to kill all the enemies, it's to support the team, healing, reviving and such, and that's exactly what I do, and I'm good at it. If I die a lot, so be it.

Accuracy: No. Ever hear of suppressing fire?

Points: Yes, mostly, as it means your doing your job at least mostly right.

A Team-player: Bingo. Must I really explain?

Re: What makes a player good?

I've seen many players on the top of the leaderboards playing, and they all do the same old bunnyhopping crap.

But nobody thinks that they are the best though. blazin, firestorm and all those nolifes are on top of the board only because they've played for 2000 hours, and of course they have the points. If you check their stats, most of the time they play one kit and one map only. It's not hard to guess which one.

Thanks!
I tried to keep it as simple and honest as possible. I don't always play that way myself. I get too involved in teh "vendettas" someone on the other team kills me with C4 say...I go all out to find them and knife them or pistol them...lol Other than that I always squad up with the squad that has the least players or the lower ranked players to help them out.

So, if you run arround all the time healing and reviving, but you can't shoot squat, does that make you good overall player, or just good medic and yoyo in everything else. That's why good player is combination of all those things, not just the best shooter, or just the best reviver. As Revolution said, being good in different things when needed, not just one.

What if you're better at CQ and overall killing with medics than with Assault?

Re: What makes a player good?

What would make more sense: reviving the guy and getting killed afterwards along with him being killed again, or first killing the enemy that's shooting, and than reviving the team member? If you are good player, you'll be able to do the second one fast enough, until then, don't think that you are good just because you are running around with your shock pads looking stupid for getting both of you killed. But wait, you scored 2 points by doing it your way, so you are good player regardless of getting killed all the time.

Re: What makes a player good?

yeah as said teamwork, sticking in squads and capturing flags as a complete unit, and not some damn hack or statpadding

Re: What makes a player good?

To be good, instead of being an infant on ground. Just be a wh0re in a tank or something. Easiest way to get points.

[Vw-Merv-CL]

Re: What makes a player good?

yeah but spawn killing in a tank isnt being good eh

[imported_Remmydox]

Re: What makes a player good?

I dont mean spawn killing. I said wh0re, wh0ring doesn't mean spawn camping.

And where is the team work when you are tank whoring?

Re: What makes a player good?

Really most stats will tell you nothing about how useful a player is to their team. The best player is the one who will win a round for their team. It is very very rarely the case that one player single handedly wins a round on the grounds of their k/d ratio, unless they are perhaps in a jet or some other powerful vehicle.
For example on Sharqi if a couple of guys hold the TV station successfully for the entire map, most likely the americans will win. Certainly the americans can't usually win if they don't hold TV. Those guys could sit around on their asses doing nothing for 9/10 of the time and they could go 0.2 on their k/d but it doesn't matter. If they are responsible for holding the TV successfully they are responsible for the americans winning, and there is no stat that recognises that kind of behaviour.

Re: What makes a player good?

Statswise yes, those are the important ones all except for this:



My accuracy is low (20%) and thats not because im inaccurate, its more because I just shoot off into the sky when im bored....

\
lol i do the same thing. when i got the L961A(or whatever it is called), i would just shoot and shoot and shoot at nothing just to hear that sound lol u gotta love it
