Score Removal

Apology if this has been mentioned before, I imagine it has.

Idea:

Remove the ability to view your score ingame (tab). Therefore, the only time you will see what score you have and what position you finished in will be when the round ends.

why:

The feature of not knowing if you've hit an enemy (no crosshair flash) and no knowing if you've killed them (no hud text) is undermined by the fact that a player can note their score and check to see if they've been awarded a point for a kill. You shouldn't worry about your score until you can relax at the end of a round.

I was about to suggest that.

Totally agree with you. Another thing that could work as well would be counting kills 5 seconds after you got 'em, or counting them when the enemy player on "critically wounded" dies.

To make it Uber realistic - have no scoring system

I agree. No score until the round ends. It does change the way people play myself included.

I would rather see some other things change like maybee new game modes or something like that. Every one likes to gloat over thier scores from time to time. Even Scarface has his in his sig

I like to play a game because it's good, not because it's cool showing off my "1337 skillz". 3/4 of the people who play America's Army do so, with the Honor and the tracking system and it sucks. ABR may stay, but the in-game scoring system needs to be changed...

Like I said, I'm not saying that scoring should be removed from the game totally - just that it should only be viewable at the end of the game (round).

in round, focus on fighting

after round, focus on score

[ZiiP]DarkJester I like your idea very much, seem it would be pretty easy to do.

The only thing I use the tab key for is viewing the server IP and map vote. As long as them features aren't removed, I don't care about the score.

But leave the player list and ping display in. Otherwise this is a good idea.

Yes that is a great idea!

I' for that idea too that you can only see the player/score tab while you're dead and in the end of round. Because now as it is that doesn't make a difference if you don't see instantly if you killed someone or not, for example I always check my score after a "burst" and see if I killed anyone. I would like it if I really didn't know always if I had killed someone.

i use that all the time, to get round the hit indicator

i think i might be a bit of a cheat

take it away and i'm just going to have to turn on my hacks again

Cerberus · Post by **Cerberus** » 2006-04-14 20:25

Yeah, I want to get rid of being able to look at your score during rounds. Too many people use it to see if they've killed someone (myself included)

By the amount of times you died tonight... I'd ask for a refund

lol at ^^

But this idea seems logical as we are trying to promote teamwork. However, I agree with the person that said that you should still be able to see the ping and things like that, just not the score.
