Kill Count on hud

[Brobocop]

I think it would be awesome to have your current kill count on the hud so you constantly see it and want to get it higher.

Before i go on I must say I mostly play with friends and do no "go rambo" and kill everything i can leaving my team to die.

I just think it would be awesome. There is no console command for it. If there is please tell me. So i don't really know how someone would integrate it.

Actually if you just hit "TAB" your kill count will show up, along with everyone elses score/health.

Having a on hud kill count would be kind of nice, but not much point when you can check it with just a button press.

Having it as a mutator might be doable, just requires editing the HUD section of the game. Some people over in the modding section of the forum might be interested in that.

Kill counts mean crap all if you're playing fleshpound-ready SS or medic. Really it should be unusual for anything but firebug or support to be on top of the list if people are adhering to their roles.

I like it as it is now, only visible at the player's option without any assumptions about priorities.

Besides, more HUD stuff just takes up space that could be displaying more useful information, like an onscreen zed that has yet to be killed.

This isn't MW2, kills aren't the focus of the game.

Having said that, tracking perk-based performance is a better idea than kills.

That way Sharpshooters will sharpshoot, Medics will medicate, and so on.

I'd love this, if the scoreboard looked at things other then basic kill count:

Health healed for Medics

Shotgun/kills damage for Support (or perhaps weld points?)

Headshots for Sharpshooter (maybe just Scrake/FP headshots?)

AR damage/kills for Commando

Melee damage/kills for Berserker

Burn damage/kills for Firebug

Explosive damage/Pipe bomb kills for Demo


Or even if it just looked at "waves survived". In my opinion having the scoreboard look at kills contributes to glory-hogging and poor teamwork.

The same thing i have been telling my friends when it comes to kills in KF....

Great idea actually!

Kills mean nothing in this game. In fact, they shouldnt displayed at all.

Some people tend to ruin the game simply because they do everything they can to be the "top killer", for example this old friend of mine always played SS with m14 and jesus he just couldnt let anyone get any extra kills... I remember being a Support Specialist, walking towards to a group of 3-4 clots so I could take them out with a clean shot from my hunting shotty, until I hear my "friend" spamming the sh1t out of his weapon miles away from me just trying to kill those clots before I could reach them -______-. That was EXTREMELY annoying, even tho I dont care about kills myself. I mean... WHY COULDNT HE JUST LET ME HAVE THOSE FEW ODD CLOTS?! If he would've been next to me, ok, but he was literally on the other side of the long hallway. T_T

I am afraid that this would only spread the plague...

the plague of Kill MADNESS! Already this has infected much of the KF-populace, and led to people doing insane things for kills. I've even seen players who only heal those whose kill counts are far below them, and actually tried to get their comrades killed.

It sickens me.

This sounds like a plot for a crazy zombie game!

And the M14 spamshootards are the special infected :IS2:

And me. (Though, I have yet to see it)

I don't know. Every time I join a public server, it 9 out of 10 times is infected. Just my luck?
Or is it just that you are extremely lucky?

of course, if I keep asking questions it will eventually lead to the ultimate one:

How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

I'd prefer one that collects points, like you get 1 point for every 10 HP healed, clot gives 1 point, gorefast, crawlers & stalkers 2 points and so forth, things like that. That shows alot more about a player then a Commando rage murdering clots and getting 1000 kills, haha.

 

[imonoz]

NONONO!! bad idea! I'm one of those poor guys thinking that I want to be the top-killer every game.. I'm trying to stop that competing kill thing and just focus on the value of the game actually. And if kills would be displayed in the HUD it would be mission impossible ..

tho I want something to pop up when the team have died or if the team wins (headshots, healings, weldings, fp/scrake takedowns etcetc)

 

[Merin Redplate]

Yeah, that would be neat. Have a whole page of stats available for viewing at the end of the game.

Kind of like the 'credits' in L4D. I agree 100%, this could be nice. particularly if it isn't just kills.

Like the credits in L4D! I support this, it seems like a good idea. Especially if you threw in all the different stats. I would not support this if just kills were added though.

 

[BenioX]

Timur, double-posting exactly same thing wouldn't be supported either
But I agree about stats - all those stats shall be displayed on the end of game and perhaps in trader rooms. Like how much health healed own, how much someone's, how many zeds of what kind killed by us, how many by team etc

Thank you for being brave enough to admit it and thereby speak for the rest of us. ._.

And that goes for basically all stats really...
