Delayed killpoints !

I think a killpoint-delay would improve REALITY bigtime as you then couldn't press TAB to see if you got a killscore for the guy you just shot at. (I do that all the time now..)

In a real war you cannot press tab to see if your target has died, right?

1 minute delay would be ok I think.

What do you think of a killpoint-delay ??

I'd simply say clean up the scoreboard so that it only displays the total points, and not kills, deaths and TW points. They should only show up on the scoreboard when the round is over.
But I don't know if that's hardcoded or not.

bosco, showing total score would still mean you could see add of points when you get a kill. I still think a delay would be better.

But I strongly doubt that a delay is possible.
You're right, you could still see if you got points, but it would make you focus less on the number of kills you make or your K/D.

I'm still gonna carve tally marks into my arm after every kill.

What with? Some fluffy kittens you poof?

Anyway, I think the PR team are working on your idea, but it's not really a priority.

meh i dont like the idea..

Yes El_Vikingo, but you still must confirm your kill before you carve your arm.. and thats the whole thing I'm talking about. You shouldn't be able to do it by checking the scoreboard. You should have to go to the dead body and cut his scalp to have a confirmed kill

And also - I think it would be easy to implement a delay.

Arthuro - why?

I say just get rid of the scoreboard completely, and show kills at the end of round and stuff.

Well, one thing I was thinking about is that the kill gets added on as soon as the guy actually dies. This is the way it works with deaths, you get a death point only after your "critically wounded" timer expires. I think kills should be added only after the victim's critically wounded timer expires so as to maintain the integrity of the kill. Sometimes the guy gets revived over and over and I get 5 kills per his one "death"

Remove the scoreboard and issue the soldiers with a keyring and plenty space for ears!

I like the idea of a delay a lot more than the idea of not showing until end of round

Uhm how am I supposed to display my L33T'nis to all people on the server if my kills are not displayed!!1!

It is a bit of a cheat right now to see the kills. If they dropped the kills from the scoreboard or the scoreboard all together I would be fine with it.

A small part of me fears that El_Vikingo wasn't joking

Cheers,

they should show the scoreboard just at the end of the round. makes it more exciting. lol

in real life bullets dont have hit detection, so you know you didnt get cheated out of a kill.

but fuck it, get rid of the scoreboard all togehter. people will play ALOT more as a team and not give a shit about there own score as much.
