Who cares they'll be useless rebels. :thumbsdown:

I was never saying kills weren't important, I was simply stating that they were not the "holy grail" like PKB was making them out to be. I understand that Brink is and FPS, and that people are going to be killing and getting killed, a lot, but to act as though kills surpass everything as the most useful tactic, and then to ridicule anyone who things otherwise, is just plain ignorant. This is what I got from PKB, and this is why I carried on the argument. And PKB, you can save me the "obviously you didn't read what I said," speech, since it doesn't matter what you said, it's how I perceived it. Yes, it's a shooter, yes killing a big part of that, but it is not the focal point in Brink, and shouldn't be for any team based objective game. Besides, the point of the original discussion was if K/D should be a stat when determining xp, and since the game is not centered around killing, and actually encourages you to "take one for the team" to get the job done, K/D should hold very little merit when determining how much xp you earn.

I think J u K E, is not the problem of useless rebels. Think more of it like this: Thief is going to attempt to use these so called "useless rebels" as distractions so he and his little Resistance-The-Anger-Buddies can attempt to steal our cookies and have equal rights and not get shot over 9,000 times.

But on topic,
I don't think that k/d should be a determining factor. On top of this game not having k/d rations or leaderboards anyway, and this being an objective focused game, it just wouldn't make sense.

I say yes, because i believe KDR is pointless....and who really cares about it? for example when im lookin for teammates, i'm gona look for the teamplayer who tryes to carry out objectives that help the team. I'm most likely gona be a medic, so i'm gona be actually helpin the team. i dont care for lone wolf tactics, and thts all KDR represents in my mind. Plus, this shouldnt be seen as another FPS, so they need to break all the walls constrainign FPS's today.... :flamethrower:

Take the blue pill and you will play MW2 as if nothing new has happened, everything will be as it was

Take the red pill and you will leave this generic world of KDR based first person shooters known to us as "The Matrix"


*takes blue pill* "ya my KDR is 3.0 cus i go off on my own and ninja other players...and if a team mate takes my kill i kill them"

*takes red pill* .....welcome to the real world...welcome to...BRINK

I would take both pills and wash 'em down with some Red Bull. Then my head would explode and my body would go on an unstoppable killing spree. :nuke:

Anyway, Brink is not a kill-based shooter, so they shouldn't have kill-based stats. Easy peasy. :tops:

Exactly, maybe a "turret kills" or"turrets hacked" stat to keep track of, that way the more objectives the higher the ranking.

If done right, removing KDR from a game can make teamwork more easy. If you get more points from assisting your team mates or completing an objective you will not be opening the scoreboard every 30 seconds or just looking for kills.

I got it how about a Point per Kill ratio. So your points get divided by your number of kills. So less kills would offer a higher number.

Cause I need leaderboards. I need to be able to brag about something.

Why, yes. How did you ever find out my nefarious plot?

Hm point per kill ratio. Thats actually a good idea haha. Oh and I agree, leaderboards are a big part for me, I love to brag.

No global leaderboards in this game...go brag to your parents.

I think I will. My mom is in my halo 3 clan.

LOL really? Is she good?

It should be point per death... as the higher your kills get, the lower your point per kill would be. This way, you could see how much good you do for the team per life.

If they have KDR, There will be heavies camping around the corner!

How about obj/death lol

No lol I was jk. Do you really think my mom was in my halo 3 clan?

Weirder things have happened. I was going to comment on how you must have one of the coolest moms ever, but I guess not...

But anyway, why brag about a video game score? You're more likely to get negative responses than positive ones, from what I've seen. :sadvaultboy:

I just like to brag about it with my Gaming buddies. It also helps if you ever want to join a team and they want to see your stats. Ive never really gotten any negative responses... maybe a few form starting the Carl Gustav AT trend. (no joke nobody used it until I got 2 gold stars with it lol)

UMP/SCAR-L + gustav ftw, I don't use it that much, only on special occasions. :cake:

I have 5 golds with the Gustav, lol.

sadly, I do too. :foodndrink:

you really can't blame people for using to kill - it's an anti-infantry rocket...

Yes but with the masses being 1337 no joke no scopers, screaming 12 year olds that sound like alvin and the chipmunks, and other general idiots, what do you expect? nobody plays much objective/tactical shooters, even Rainbow Six got crammed full of these kinds of people, just 4 days ago after killing an unskilled player who was probably 7 or 8, he told me to go "play with myself until my package touched my underwear." oh godly mute button

But back to topic, In an objective/tactical based FPS kills should be a priority, however, not taking more priority than the overall goal which is your current objective.
