Alcohol or Drugs?

Edit:
Oh, a poll.
Voted yes because i think too many people play just for the kills.
And this sanction would force them to teamplay or at least would stop them playing just for the kills.

And correct me If I am wrong but you need to kill people in this game to win. Although capping flags and destroying assets is needed, the majority of removal of tickets is through killing people. You say people only play to kill people, that is pretty much every FPS I can think of ever.

Instead of stopping people from being able to see how many enemies they have killed and contributed to the team, maybe give more incentives towards teamwork, i.e more points for repairing vehicles at main etc.


This is not going to stop people 'playing for kills', people will just play the same and will still look for their K/D at the end of the round.

Squad based KDR would change the dynamic sygnificantly too imo....

so make it more squad based points rather than individuals

Exactly what I am thinking.

I feel the same way. It should be a squad effort, at the very least.

Winning the game is much more than killing. If your team believes that battles are that simplistic, I doubt you'd win many games. Most of the games I've played, I don't have too many kills. When playing in a DM squad, I might play as a specialist rifleman or a medic, both provide unique abilities for the squad (flexibility of squad movement and healing the wounded, respectively), both of which aren't centralized around killing the enemy, but are in many cases more important than the grunts with scopes and grenades who concentrate on room-clearing and killing from further away.

Except for America's Army.....I remember a DEV once said that the game/round/map can be played without killing anyone

Anyway,
It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it's worth the trouble

I only want to see scores at the end because You shouldn't be looking around to see who has the most or that crap you should be focused on leading your squad or being a good squad member.

i would like to see mainly a squad K/D ratio shown at the end of the round.

i would welcome something that prevents me from pulling up the scoreboard every now and again (something i cannot help doing!). that's more time to be looking at the map or checking my surrounds.

Ingame name: StrkTm Pygar

Eggyweggs...I would like to smash 'em!
