Topic: TDM scoring
Many people ask me to add deaths to the scoreboard. I find this quite useless except in TDM, because a death is a point to the other team. Right now the scores are calculated like this:
player score = kills - suicides
team score = total kills - total suicides
This way of calculating the player score if flawed. Check this out, for one team with two players.
Player A: 25 kills, 30 deaths = 25 points
Player B: 20 kills, 15 kills = 20 points
Team: 45 points
Player A in this case is not better then B because he gave away more points to the other team then he took. With other words, the score means nothing at all. But if we change how the score is calculated like this:
player score = kills - deaths
team score = total kills - total suicides (unchanged)
Then the scoring for our two players will look like this:
Player A: 25 kills, 30 deaths = -5 points
Player B: 20 kills, 15 kills = 5 points
Team: 45 points (unchanged)
What do you guys think of this?
