Devs need to SCRAP K/D Ratios

Or at least make em only viewable online. Its the root of nearly all evil, including excessive camping (MW2 im looking at you), if they didn't display the KDR in the ingame MW2 leaderboards, I guarantee there will be less camping and glitching for kills.

Is your K/D in the negative range? This seems like a trivial complaint. Removal of K/D isn't going to stop people from wanting as many kills as possible anyway they can get it.

any game where you die so easily like MW2 there is going to be camping. because you feel weak and vulnerable. enter halo where you feel like the fist of god, and the last thing on your mind is camping because you want to destroy everything in your path.

Why do people come do this conclusion all the time? Just because someone doesn't like a part of a game doesn't mean they suck at it. My K/D isn't isn't negative and I wish it was out of the game too.

Modern Warfare 2's gameplay is built around Kill/Death ratio. People are encouraged to camp due to the kill streak bonuses. Dying is actually penalized because you lose potential airdrops.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to imply the TC had a bad K/D ratio, but what would the removal of the K/D ratio actually do?

They should just get rid of Mw2, it's the only way to fix it.

Sandy Ravage disagrees :P

They should keep k/d because it measures your skill in killing people. It doesn't mean your a good player, a player with .8 k/d can be a better overall playere than a guy with a 1.3 k/d. Nonstop-Madness

This is actually true. Yes, a K/DR can be INDICATIVE of player skill, but it's not the be all end all of stats. My K/DR on BC2 right now is only 0.82. Consider the fact though that it USED to be 0.69. Obviously I've brought it up considerably. My K/DR might be lower than some friends of mine, but my squad score is more than twice some of theirs. I'm more of a team player than a guy worrying about my K/DR. I'm still trying to improve it, but it's not the most important thing to me.

Besides, FPSs aren't my forte. I don't completely suck at them, but I honesly feel I'm better at TPSs.

I enjoy team-based gameplay rather than games that focus on individual kills, etc. Games like Team Fortress 2 are what I enjoy most. Halo Reach looks like it is leaning more towards that. Sometimes in Modern Warfare 2, it feels like I am playing a single-player game. There is almost no need to communicate other than to spread some hate speech. Getting a kill streak is such an individualized feat that even your own teammates feel like computer-controlled allies.

Solution - Don't support camper friendly games?

Camping happens in MW2 not because people are worrying about their KD but because they're rewarded with Kill Streaks.

i like tf2's way, you can see your k/d ratio but on the scoreboard it just shows how many points you earned.ferret-gamer

K/D ratios can't be negative, lol.

No way that's happeneing. People can play however they like (and they fully exercise their right to do so) regardless of the complaints and protests, so the best you can do to avoid campers/glitchers is to leave the game.

Its still over 0 which is a positive.

Those who have negative ratio are the ones caught cheating (such as prestige 10 lobby).

I know it is positive since it is still over 0. I didn't realize what I typed until Sgt pointed it out to me. I originally meant to say "do you have more deaths than kills?"

I don't think dev should scrap the K/D ratio. Instead, they should stop rewarding the losers and givetons moreincentives for winning. If you and your team lose the match no rewards should be given to you at all, which should halt your progress and allow you to reflect on actually winning.

[QUOTE="tbone802"]I like in BFBC2 how you can compare Points Per Minute (or hour, I forget), I think that stat is more indicative of how effective you are as a player. AncientDozer

Unless you have negative kills that's pretty difficult. :lol:
