Would you play a game that did not keep track of KDR?

Alright, so lets say a game only keeps track of number of games played, wins, losses, and objectives within each match completed. No kill, no deaths, no KDR. I feel like this would eliminate camping, and other ways people get cheap kills. If the only way of people could judge your stats is by how many games you have won, it would motivate people to play the game they are actually supposed to be played. What do you all think?

makes no difference to me. but disagree about thee winning games bit as you can be playing team matches play REALLY well but if your team loses then its a loss for you as well, so having a personal stat lik KDR makes sense

It would upset the hardcore good players and make the casual players less intimidated I guess.

Games are played firstly for fun. That's what I do at least. Of course I get annoyed by a camper hiding in the grass or shadows or etc. Think of it this way maybe this is the first FPS he is playing, maybe he isn't as good as you with shooters. This way I get less annoyed. I don't really care about stats. The only one I check from time to time is the kill/death ratio. This is only for shooters of course. And if there weren't any stats I wouldn't be bothered a bit.

I just think if people didn't have a KDR to hold above their head they would be less likely to do the typical things that people complain about. I think games would be a lot more fun if you were actually competing over things rather than how some people just treat objective based modes as team deathmatch with a time limit. Close games are always a lot more fun for me so I wish people wouldn't just play for their KDR.

well i agree that it would eliminate some campers and that... but what about more like unless it's tdm and dm.. you don't level up by kills, but more by capturing objectives and doing whatever you are suppose to do.. players who do the objectives get triple the xp then those you take no part in doing them.. so people could camp and get their high kill streaks but they would still be at level 1... i think that would be a more effective way, just a thought.

I would still play the game without a kill to death ratio. It is actually better that way anyway, so you could just enjoy the game and not worry about your stats. I know some people that go crazy over those things. I used to be big on it, but then I realized that once you move on to the next big online shooter, the last one doesn't even matter anymore, so why worry about it anyway?

No im pretty sure thats for people who are tired of getting killed by complete noobs who barley know how to shoot a gun and just lob grenades everywhere trying to get up their kdr! But yea the game would be more enjoyable because even though people dont admit it, they will do anything to keep their kdr from going down. I kinda enjoy the kdr sometimes like when i own a guy with a really high kdr, then i get to listen to him complain about how i was cheating or hacking somehow. lol But overall I think no kdr could be enjoayable

haha I'm sure, sounds like someone who only cares about their kdr, is that the only thing you have to look forward to in llfe?

seannn199 - "yeah man, just got a 1.0 kdr i am a beast, took me 20 matches of camping in a corner, throwing grenades and shooting 40's aimlessly!, i should go talk trash to these guys!"

actually the people complaining about this are people with high kdr's who get BS deaths by someone who doesn't play the right way or doesn't know how to play. It's absurd, and the matchmaking system should be more detailed, based on objectives so someone who goes for objectives doesn't play against someone who camps but rather other objective based players to bring more competition and make the game fun.

nah mines triple that(kdr). and campers are easy to kill, cause there in one spot lol. trust me anyone with a good kdr wouldnt be complaining, cause they wouldnt be dying/ also if they dont care abou8t there kdr's then they wouldnt care if they die once by a camper cause they would just kill them afterwards anyway

when you are playing a match and you go to capture the objectives and the other team is camping it, just to get cheap kills, that takes away from the fun of the game... it's not that your 3.0 kdr goes down to a 2.9, it's the fact that, they are playing objective based game modes like tdm... so yes you can go kill the campers and then the next objective spawns and instead of capturing it you have to go around checking every corner looking for the people who are sitting there waiting for someone to get on the objective. And that takes away from the game mode, they should play tdm. if you have a 3.0 and do the objectives (not likely), then great... but to say no one with a high kdr complains is laughable and diminishes any argument you can say.. powerman, bpoole and myself, not too mention countless others have high kdr's and complain about stat whores... stats are all well to look at, but people have fun with games by competition and when the other team isn't even going for the objectives, so you get an automatic win, there is no fun.. i rather lose a close game then absolutely destroy a team, just because they weren't trying to win.
