On removing the scoreboard during play.

[[R-MOD]Saobh]

Maybe this has already been brought up, but here goes anyways.
Would it be possible to get rid of the score board access during play ?
I see multiple reasons for this:

- Not very realist knowing how many people you 'ow3neD' ...

- Its an alternative way to know if you killed that guy you've been shooting at for half an hour, you just keep track of your kills on the board and check it to see if it grows. I know i have a tendancy to do it (yes ok i am ashamed of it )
and its a loop after having taken away the "you've killed XXXX" message.

- It would would keep peoples mind more on the team play rather then track the fact that they are first or last in the scoreboard.

the only disadvantage i can see in removing it is when someone is on a TK spree you would have a hard time verifying it by not seeing his score.

I do think the scoreboard should be toned down, but not completely removed. It serves other purposes, finding out the IP, map votes (!!!), squad organisation.

I think the enemy's spawn status (alive = red, dead = grey) should be removed. That way if you want to know if you killed that guy, you'd have to keep track of your kills, which seems to me to be quite silly.

Edit: bad grammar

And ping.....
There is no net_graph thingy i think...

... that is exactly why it should be taken away ...

but of course i'm only speaking of the scores themselves (and the life/death situation), the vote, server info, ping etc are usefull and have nothing to do with the realitsic approach.

I dont know what code is available to edit, but just taking out the visibility of the numeric scores would be enough, you could even leave the relative position of each position in their team it would matter much (we all know Dedmon will be 1st anyways )

? its a game you dont have to make it per real.

I agree. Just leave everything else on there, like teamwork score, deaths perhaps, pings etc. Take away the kill thingy.

lol well ya in fact that would be in fact a great idea to leave the teamwork score and only that one as a score (not the kills nor the total points) in that way even if they whant to 'stat pad' and constantly watch their score going up (like cows watching trains go by) at least they are helping out rather then running after kills.

just have to love all the feeback and brainstorming we have on these forums
