small feature request
When you dive on your own nade, it should count as a death. The only thing that SHOULDN'T count as a death is being teamkilled. It's not really important or anything, but I was shocked recently to see statwhores diving on their own nades (as opposed to simply /kill'ing) in order to get better stats. I'm all for putting an end to this lameness.
eating your own grenade doesn't count as a death?!

I don't see how it's statwhoring. Afterall it counts as a miss for grenades...suave>>seed wrote:but I was shocked recently to see statwhores diving on their own nades (as opposed to simply /kill'ing)

Re: small feature request
Yes if a person takes the time to lay on there own nade rather then just /killing then they are in it for the kill/death ratiobacon wrote:I don't see how it's statwhoring.

same goes for falling to your death or self-arty/airstriking. believe it or not, people actually do kill themselves in these manners, on purpose, simply to get a better looking kill/death ratio. it's pretty damn sad. i know it's not a big issue or anything, but i figure if you make /kill's count as a death, you might as well make every other method of suicide the same.
lol. it's things like this that make me hate gaming sometimes. et is all about the team aspect, yet people are still stuck in quake mentality. i refuse to look at my stats or the score during a game. why does it matter what my headshot ratio is? the all important question in ET is - are we going to win?
your personal numbers do NOT matter, except as a personal meter to track your own progress, perhaps. but you certainly don't need to check your stats during every game! what's the point? if you see your accuracy is down 3 percentage points, is that going to suddenly make you step up and concentrate better?
gah, if bani should do anything, he should strip out everything that resembles personal glory. you are simply the class you choose - play hard and look for your flag at rounds end. if you see it, you and all your teammates did well. if not, you all sucked.

The game is based on teamwork, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have any individual elements to it aswell. While i agree with what Seed said, all forms of suicide should count as a death, removing all stats is pretty dumb, i care about my sccuracy to see if it improves, i don't really care about k/d though.
that's actually so brilliant in it's simplicity that i'm scratching my head why it never occurred to me.
only problem would be even MORE "i just went 100-10, 50% acc, h4w h4w pwn3d!!!!!111"
but thats mostly a pub worry and that already happens anyway, so yeah man, make it so only YOU can see your stats:D:D
/me waits for the naysayers, so i can make a mental note of whom to label as statwhores for future reference...

well imo this is a competition mod and u dont have problems with stat whoring in clan matches, i know its a problem in publics, but is it a problem unless u urself actually cares about stats???
u will always get sum players that rank themselves compared to others, if there is a scoring system or any kind, or a player tracking system
