Dying deserves -1 points

[Odinpalen]

Should be punnished more for death because some people just get killed so they can get more ammo and a different gun. Also you should be punnished for using a plane as a taxi to a flag and then ditching it.

The point system is fine atm and should be left alone. The only thing that should be changed is the giving of points for blowing up the opposing commander's assets.

[Yezo]

If you talking about reducing kills or score in any way I've just got to say your an idiot. How would you like it if I was standing at your spawn point with a LAV APC raping your ass. You wouldn't get any kills. With -1 score or kill points each time I kill you you'd be either 0 or the negatives. Seriously think before you speak.

I doont care if i die i just have to wait

[DieseL™]

The current point system rewards those who charge into combat and kill (thus die) as quickly as possible. Each death takes away one ticket from their team. It is only fair that a player that gets killed (TK excluded) is charged a negative point for that death. Maybe if being killed had a penalty you might actually see some more strategy and flanking rather than bunny hop charges with the M203.

stfu..your never going to change an age old system

[Odinpalen]

Yeah you will never change, communism or old governments. Democracy was just a pipe dream. New systems and ideas never happen out of brainstorming and ennovation. Only dip$hit pu$$y a$$ losers who slam others post make things better right diesel. Your pathetic...

[Talus]

Terrible idea.

Nice, Odin. You saved me the time and trouble of responding.

Some might say the same of those who repeatedly respawn at the same camped spawn point.

Well I can live with the fact I'm an idiot, but your gonna have to admit your a bigger one. If I sat and spawn raped you, I could make your 60 score at 20, or how about a 0 to a -40. Would hurt your BFHQ stats wouldn't it?

Lets say you were getting the gold medal but you need some kills because someones catching up to you, well no more, I just raped all your points away.

Say I'm a commander at karkand, now I'm gonna whore your whole team with an arti. strike.

How the hell can you possibly compare a scoring system in a video game with communism? That's the dumbest thing I've read all day, no wait, the idea to penalize players for dying is the dumbest thing I've read all day.

Conversation if this change took place

soldier 1: he look at that tank, hes not look at this direction, should plant a C4 on it
soldier 2: good idea, you go, i dont want to die you know
soldier 1: I dont want to die either, the risk outweights the potential benifit
result: both dead.

This is a valid counter-argument. Two possible remedies:

(1) kill points vary according to target (e.g. +3 for tank, +4 for jet, +2 for infantry; these are examples only not proposed values)
(2) No death penalty when outclassed by killer (For example: infantry deaths from APCs, tanks, choppers, jets, and artillery strikes would not be penalized).

This may not be feasbile on ranked servers but adding server-side options (point values, penalties) on unranked servers would.

[Daz]

Shite idea, nobody would want to be killed then and not engage in combat. You do get minus points for killing yourself. But not by others. eg : Daz is no more. = minus points.

[shadow_wolf]

-1 point for dying? so we should get penalized for being spawn camped?
well that would make the campers light up with glee...not only to they get kills, it takes kills away from the victims.

scoring is fine as is, except for TK penalties which is outrageous. If you get +2 for kills you should get -2 for teamkills...-4 to -6 is steep

[Solar71]

If we make respawn 30 seconds instead of 15 or 12 people will think twice before charging in ....
