Disabling scoreboard stats
There should be option for server side to disable showing scoreboard points, becouse allready there is option for disabling death messages. Though scoreboard still can be used for checking your kills, which is rather gamey. Scoreboard stats should only show in the end of game.
There isn't many servers without death messages, I played in one yesterday and that was my first time scoring kill which could be described slightly realistic. Map was Stalingrad I think, I was sneaking in to some building and looking for enemies, then enemy pops up from stairway and runs straight to window not seeing me in the other end of corridor, I walked toward him pistol aimed and shooted him in about 20 meters or so, then I was seeing no death message, what? Is that guy actually dead or not? I wasn't sure so I have to go right next to body, then I saw ragdoll body hanging lifeless from window, I though poor chap no time to defend when I shooted him from behind and I didn't know who I shooted, very realistic.
Then in other map where are death messages many players are using them unrealistically and gamey for making sure you are dead (myself included). I was hiding in perfectly good spot in and defending objective and somebody tosses granade towards me in to location where I was when I killed him last time, I was easily avoiding that becouse I changed my position, now little while he knows I am still there becouse A: He is guessing right and B: He checks death messages or scoreboard, not very realistic.
