Well, players may be "hardcoded", but I bet we can alter player behaviour by not giving them a stupid little kill count to obsess about maxing out..

So my suggestion would be to get rid of the kill counter entirely.

Good one, you got this idea from RnL?

+1, You benefit in reality (you have to make sure he's dead) and players arent showing off their leet kills wits snipzorz... Only shown at the end of the round as now not during the round.

I would like it to be replaced with a 'ticket' counter, so you know how many tickets you've taken from the enemy (vehicles destroyed etc)

I like to know how well I've done

Hmm interesting idea I actually quite like it, even though its always nice to know how you are doing... Perhaps could still display the final scoreboard with kills etc at the end?

Not sure if this might be hardcoded or not though...

1 +

You shouldnt be able to see it in-game, only when the next map is loading and you see the scores.

Not even at the end of the round, because that would still make people focus narrowly on making that little number go up, up up... numbers in games make the players obsessed, just as the levelling grind for example.

It leads to many players locking themselves in one style of exploitive play, such as the sniping kit (get rid of that one too... lets have some tactical firefights instead of getting shot from beyond visible range repeatedly just to make some 12 year old's little ego a stiffening)

Is your team winning? Are you helping out? Then you're doing great.

Why would you do such a thing?

not as hax as this!

You don't have to be good to pull that off, just find some stupid enemies and be on the right place at the right time.

Very nice K/D though

On topic, I think this is a resuggestion.

Lol its training server!

Nah, first one is on the H hardcore server and the second one is from an older version of PR on the Battlearena al basrah server.

Now why cant we have you in an apc on muttrah in our server more often? Either no one uses them or whoever does dies fast.

When ever I play muttrah I fly the hueys on the thread topic I think it would kinda suck I like knowing how many kills I got an allot of people do you can talk **** to the other team and demoralize them and if no one could see there score they probably wouldn't try as hard. It still is a game and we are all competing with each other in a way.

I agree of course, removing the kill counter would benefit gameplay, of course the mod would shed off certain players that only play the mod to see their kills, but I think overall it would be a positive change. Alot of other games that are less realistic than PR have the counter removed.

Theres a couple ways it can be done, theres still debate on the easiest way to do it while maintaining some functionality of being able to judge how well you are doing.

What online team based game doesn't have a way to keep track of the score/kills?

Resuggestion,

Aha.

I read in another post that it is hardcoded, is that correct?
