ontopic: i agree and always have.. maybe show at end of game, but even then... who cares ? i also agree with rudds statement, if possible.

Yes. Things may be a resuggestion, but try looking for the thread yourself and posting the link to it, be helpful, not a smart arse....

If they can't be arsed to look for it themselves, I'm not going to give it to them.

I can´t see exactly how this is going to benefit gameplay? I am kind of don´t care about it, but what difference does checking your kills make? It only comes up when they respawn anyway, and with the current revive situation, its nice to know that someone actually dies during a round.

Not even at the end of the round, because that would still make people focus narrowly on making that little number go up, up up... numbers in games make the players obsessed, just as the levelling grind for example.

It is a Shooter. We are supposed to kill in this game. And for me getting many kills means I did well. (Medics get other rewards) but this is the most basic fundament of this game.

Shoot the guys from the other team. And I want to see at the end of the game how many I killed. Ithink it is great that kills are not displayed immediately but it is very very very important to see how many kills I have at the end of the round.

In fact I did read the suggestions thread first, but I must have missed that line.

Don't you worry about that, evolution took care of El_Vikingo and his constant Google quotes. So just wait.

What comes to this suggestion, I'd suggest it as well.

Is it a shooter? Not quite, because a shooter is a game about shooting. PR is a game that features shooting, but is fundamentally about tactics, teamplay and ultimately bringing your team as a whole to victory.

Killing the enemy should be seen as means to that end.

Playing shooters where the point is getting kills is fine - but there are already many such games out there, and I like PR because it offers something different.

I agree of course, removing the kill counter would benefit gameplay, of course the mod would shed off certain players that only play the mod to see their kills, but I think overall it would be a positive change. Alot of other games that are less realistic than PR have the counter removed.

Theres a couple ways it can be done, theres still debate on the easiest way to do it while maintaining some functionality of being able to judge how well you are doing.

What is te point? "Teamplay" will not improve if I do not see my kills. Most people use teamplay only as much as it helps. If running with a squad gets me more success (=kills) I will stick with a squad. If I am with a squad that is bad and it gets me killed I am not going to follow a squad the next game.

I think this is a very weird myth that there are "good" players who would lov nothing more than shoveling themselves into nirvana on a FB just to "teamplay and that there are "bad" players who are only after the kills.

Here is the true reason why people do actually follow squad leaders and help building:
If I follow my SL, he can place RPs, which after I get killed, allow me to spawn near the action so I can respawn and play more (=kill enemy players). If I shovel for a FB, I get reduced spawn penalty. If I protect my supply crate, I get better guns.

This is how "teamplay" works. No one in their correct mind plays this game to

1. shovel firebases
2. stand in the middle of nowhere watching a cap meter go down

We all play it because we like to play a military shooter with realistic gameplay. it is about shooting and killing. And a kill statistic is a way to see if I "won" or played well.

OMG SO HA4DC0R3!@# L3tz rem0ves all sc0rings!@#!@#

Seriously. You guys do realize this is a game yes? People play games for relaxation and gratification and scores provide gratification. I really don't have time to play for 3 hours to see how well I did.

Usually, I don't even look at the scores, but I do like to have the option.

I guess I'm the only one who actually feels the game is about winning as a team


(oh, and by the way, building a FB is good teamplay if it helps the team.. otherwise its just shovelling for points)
