Opinion needed on K/D Ratio

[bigthumbs]

just wondering what everyones opinion is on this..

I hate seeing people with high kills at the top of the scoreboard and getting medals when they have HIGH death rates also.. like someone who is 25 kills
25 deaths. thats +0 because while they took away 25 enemy tickets,
they got 25 of their own teams tickets taken away.

now lets say a player has 12 kills and 2 deaths, thats +10

i'd rather have that player in my squad.. but according to the game he's not as good as the guy that died 25 times getting his 25 kills.


Why cant the scores be based on KD ratio.. so the board would put who
has the most kills - deaths at the top?

the guy that gets high kills but dies almost as much is worthless to the team
(atleast he isnt one of those guys that goes like 1 kill 12 deaths in a round).

Because the person who just killed two people after joining the server would be at the top for having a 2:0?

Besides, someone who dies a lot isn't always usless, they might be anti-tank or something... defending a base.

Because the game isn't a team deathmatch, it's conquest. It's all about the points.

I have to agreee with that. Also, it's relaistic in the way that people sacrifice themselves in order to kill other people and/or defend bases, etc (also in real-life). Also, no one thinks about tickets when they die. I have never heard anyone say in any server that someone dies too much.

Again, it's conquest, not deathmatch. as Hoov said...

what your saying would still not work cause what about snipers ?

someone who camps up on a rooftop getting tons of kills isn't really helping out the team as much as someone who runs up to a flag and maybe gets it half way capped while killing 1 guy and then dies , to have other teammates cap the flag the rest of the way

Tons of different scenarios where kill death ratio doesn't really help the team out at all.

Exactly. People like support, engineers aren't really designed to be playing right on the front line with Assault, Spec Ops, Medics as I would assume most play them as a secondary line of attack/defense, providing valuable assistance to those doing the bulk of the fighting.

I've never had anybody complain that I"m using up tickets if I get killed whilst dispensing ammo to others as support.

[PteConlon]

I don't count people who use tanks/lavs/planes as "good".

[Travace]

Uhh i wouldnt say 1217 asualt kills while 180 assualt deaths is a bad player


in fact id consider that pretty good

That would turn the game into a camping frag course. it would suck. There are other things rather than killing, did you know that??

What abour the BH pilot?? giving supPort, delivering troops, caping flags...

And the medic??

And the sùpport guy??

Fragging kiddos..

I really dont care about teamwork points, im all for Kill Death Ratio. I currently have a 2.0 K/D ratio which i think is pretty good with 2500 points....

another example of somebody dying alot is the medics :evil:
