Can we see a few more interesting things on the scoreboard please? I would like to see maybe Kills/Deaths/Assists and also other peoples ranks. The scoreboard is so dull

No , this is what they're Trying to stay away from. How much you contribute to the team defines your rank on the scoreboards

I almost always get most kills, best engineer/medic, and best overall each game, I finish every engineering-specific or medic-specific objectives I can, usually keep both command posts held on my own, on top of fighting off the enemy...

Just saying, it'd be nice if I could see just how many kills/deaths I had in a game.

I understand you're probably not the problem, but I have to agree that showing k/d would be dangerous.

There's no reason that adding additional information should change who is at the top of the scoreboard. Look at objective matches in Halo/COD, you can still get to the top of the scoreboard without the best K/D. As I posted in another thread, there is plenty of information they could post. Time spent disguised, buffs handed out, players revived, turret kills, mine kills, headshots, time spent near the objective, etc. The number of possibilities is insane.

# of buffs and etc is nice, but K/D is not... Halo and CoD are NOT objective oriented (hardly) Therefore, there is no reason to add K/D when you could care about buffs...
Just getting it out there ;D I might have misread.

Any info is good info. I'm not saying that the board should just be kills, deaths, assists, but there's no reason it shouldn't include that and a lot of other information. People overly concerned with their KDRs aren't going to place as high on the Brink scoreboards as people playing the objective or helping the team in more direct ways.

Any info is not good info, there are those of us out there who get to worried about our kdr and such, and while I always manage to maintain a kdr that is quite impressive, It is not at all something I enjoy worrying about.

The lack of Kdr lists and kill death lists is like a breeze of fresh air to me, if you want these kind of e-peen lists, theres plenty of games that sport them.

Exactly.

Also, MAG was a teamwork-heavy squad-based shooter that showed KDR... and it created elitists and [censored] bags and split the community. No thank you.

CoD is just as objective based when you play anything other than deathmatch. Please explain to me how this game is anymore objective based than any objective game in CoD.

I agree 100%, people who help the team and do the objectives should definately top the scoreboard, and imo the scoring system should stay as is. I would just like to see amount of kills/deaths/assists and showing player ranks to liven up the scoreboard with a bit more info

Crap like that isn't shown for a reason.

Adding it in would be a slap to the face of everyone who bought this game to get away from Stat boosting.

The objective game modes in CoD were the best places to boost your K/Dr....=|

No one went for the Objective in Headquarters...they just racked up kills.
Killing the team became the main focus for Search and Destroy, the bomb was hardly ever planted.
Capture The Flag was nothing more than "Bring the flag back to your spawn, and rack up kills"
And if you've seen that video, clearly, demolition has broken spawns and all people do is spawn kill for K/Dr

Domination also has the same scrubs as every game listed above.

Those should be left off the game scoreboards in my opinion. The stats site can show as much as it likes (pretty please SD).

Just because objectives are the best place to rack up kills doesn't mean they weren't objective based games.... where in Brink is the best place to rack up kills? The reason I play objective based games in CoD is because you know where the campers and if you think about it camping an objective is playing the objective. I'm not sure what you want to happen in these games to make them up to your standards. I mean isn't the smartest way to defend a point in domination to camp it? Or to hold your flag in CTF to camp it? I can truly say I don't do this because I have FPS ADD and play like i'm on speed, but it doesn't bother me as much when people are camping with a purpose as opposed to deathmatch camping in a corner with a shotty.

Perhaps if they didn't show deaths, just kills and assists, that way it would stop people just going for a good ratio and would also encourage people to get lots of kills as well as do objectives, baring in mind that the people doing all the hard work with team work would be on top of the scoreboard still

Maybe it's just me but I don't wanna think that the main source of teamwork in the game is buffing.

In aquarium, if security can repair the elevator, the number of kills goes down for them dramatically. Of course, it makes the objective faster and easier. Technically, buffing helps you win and lowers the number of kills you get. I could buff you and make you feel bad about yourself if they show more stats.

Game changingly broken killstreak rewards and stupid equipment make it easy for someone that is only going for kills to win in COD by not playing the objective in objective based games. Other games that don't have that nonsense do just fine. All shooters, objective based or not, will have some amount of camping, what makes COD svck isn't because it tracks KDR, but because it overly rewards people with high KDRs.

Brink isn't immune to bad spawn areas by the way, Container City is a prime example of a map that can be won (for the defense) by spawn trapping instead of 'playing the objective'.

It's funny how everybody hates CoD yet seems to know how every game plays out. Also those killstreaks that are just so crazy can all be shot down within 10 seconds of them coming in. The ones that can't be shot down aren't game changing by any means. Also people who don't cap points in domination never ever lead in score.

As long as it's not K/D im fine

SD got stats right for Brink.

XP and Awards only.

The only other stat system I enjoyed was Halo because its so through and in depth.

Black Ops isn't the only COD that ever was, since COD4 we've had obnoxious killstreak rewards.

Everyone likes to say how 2 missiles takes everything down/how easy it all is to counter. So all those Chopper Gunners and Gunships and Dogs, those don't get kills since they're so easy to counter and don't affect the game? The number of kills I've got with those things vs the number of times I've called them in is ridiculous. Also, Blackbirds? That isn't game changing?
