Show Kills In The Scoreboard Too

[<animal>FUR]

While I think that points (caps10 + kills1) are definitely more important and player rank on the scoreboard should still be sorted by points, I think it would be nice to see a column for kills.
Why?
Here's one reason. If a player decides to defend a captured position from recap, He can be a great asset to the team and if he fends off 10 attackers, then (pointwise) it looks as though he was just part of a capture. A kills column would at least let him and the rest of the players know how many people he had fended off.

Here's another reason. If a player starts off on the attacking team, scores a bunch of captures, and then switches over to the defending team chances are, he will look allot better then his new teammates scorewise. At least players would know that his points didn't all come from kills if there was a kills column and it didn

Bad idea, and thankfully will never be implemented

to me this game isnt really about the kills, more so about the teamwork and capturing the area.. the enemy is just in the way, thats all the ragdolls rock ass though, i need to see someone crumble once in a while ^^

Not that interested in seeing a kills column, I think it may detract from the game for some people...

Wouldn't the real military also keep track of soldiers refusing to follow orders...

So say in Basovka/Odessa/Kauk for example when people sit back and shoot when the are supposed to attack (assuming the order from the command was to attack the cap zones and secure them) ..

Yes, maybe the real military keeps track of kills, but if somebody outright refuses to to even try to follow an order, sitting back trying to "get kills" while ordered to advance, I'm sure there would be disciplinary action.

And yes, the military would keep record of disciplinary action.

They shouldn't add a column for kills. But maybe a good idea would be to add a column for all the people that don't enter the cap zone on the attacking side at all during a map. Or a total time spent in cap zones column.

I think the potential problem of tracking ones refusal to follow orders would be that of well what if the commander is a total fool? or what if the 'commander' shoulda been a private? Like many classes that of commander is often obtained through the luck of the draw.

and who ever really needs "fraggs" - well, happy counting to him^^

... if i sit in the tiger gun and defend an area, i start counting the tanks i killed, but only then

this would be really anyoing if you sit somewhere and try to cover somebody, who maybe would take a area and there is nobody to cover and also nobody who covers you while trying to take it cause everybody goes mad on pushing their fragging stats - i often saw that in BF2

Sometimes I count when I go to take a position or something, I don't do it everytime. I don't really see the need to puff up your ego by showing how many kills you have, since this game isn't about kills it's about teamplay.


Is cool though, when you are killing people and you get up to like 12 or so

Maybe do the opposite, and have a column for the number of caps you were involved with? That would effectively show both how many kills you had (approximately, rather than a specific number) and would encourage people to try and cap things, as it would show on the scoreboard how many caps they had.
You could work out a vague number of kills by taking away all the points for caps from the total, as it should give an approximate numbers (excluding tks, MG ammo etc).

Maybe we just don't have any score-screen during the match? While you're at it, go ahead and completely remove death messages from the game? Why you ask? Well, it adds realism and immersion... two things witch I seem to be in love with.

I really like that Idea. Do you think a "Time spent in a capzone" column would count count defensively too?

I like that idea too
