Anyone guilty of doing this?

-I've done this a few times but I usually see the ragdoll fly around when I kill them, that's confirmation enough. The only thing I use the scoreboard for is checking who's squadless if I need to invite people.

The last few people who were caught and banned for this were primarily noticed by their unusually high scores which lead keeping a close eye on them. If the scoreboard is removed, being killed by an aimbot will likely be credited to "oh well I died again" instead of "how is that guy 110 and 9?"

Just something to consider.

Every 3rd minute killedscoreboard update will make everyone happy.

Then again I have it keyed to Backspace because I used to use tab for something or the other ...

HahaHA! I caught you! AFAIK, you can't bind your tab key to anything BUT scoreboard.

i'd rather se the scoreboard only at the end, and yes the tab is simply too hard to resist

Guilty.....

But I always say five "ave maria" afterwards and show a great deal of regret.

And then I take a cold shower just to cool down and lie nervously in my bed fearing I'll get hairy palms.. (oh wait.. that was my other sin.. sorry)

ops:

but seriously, it should be removed.

the scoreboard should only show up at the end of the round

I actually feel sorry for all you guys checking your kills via the scoreboard. I never do it (don't call me a liar either or I will give you a big e-*****-slap :razz

Seriously though I don't and haven't since the kill messages have been removed. You guys are missing out on the tension it creates and the awarness you have to keep by not knowing 100% if you cleared an area. I'm shocked by how many people are checking; for shame.

Can't agree more.

And yes, I'm quilty. But only in the middle of a gunfight or in the hills. Otherwise I'll use the binoculars to check if he is dead.

I'm a KDR whore, I do it, but I want the scoreboard removed while the game is in progress.

Chat text should be optional too, like a command line that turns it off.

You still can't know if an area is clear. Basically the main time I use it is if I'm trying to snipe at someone far away with a non-sniper gun, cuz you can't see if you kill them or not, or at least it's very difficult.

'[T wrote:BludShoT;475237']I do it half the time. The rest of the time when I don't it's because I forgot what my kill count was lol.

i dont look at it to confirm a kill. but after a while just to see how many kills i have and whatnot.

nillazsuck · Post by **nillazsuck** » 2007-09-05 00:15

I only use it to check my kdr and score when I'm waiting to respawn. Other than that I'm usually to focused the game to check.

Why? You could set your minimap to become invisible if you want. Why make it any harder for people who are new to a map by making them constantly press Caps Lock to check where they are...
