Suicides

I was wondering, do suicides count against your rating? I thought that they counted as deaths, but I noticed someone who didn't have any deaths, but he had 2 suicides. Are they counted seperately, but still count against you?

They don't count against you?!?!?!?! Does this mean that if you get infected you can just kill yourself and it won't make a difference? I guess it means that you can switch classes if you want, but still, doesn't that make being a medic sort of pointless?

Right, I dont know what I was thinking when I said they dont count against you. When you die I have seen two things in your score, either the number of kills you have made has gone down by 1 or the number of deaths you have had has increased by 1. I have also seen senarios where both numbers go down by 1, but I dont recall the circumstances. If you suicide your deaths will increase.

JD has better answers when he is sober.

Even if you kill yourself the medic still gets credit for the kill if your infected.

Wow, I never knew that. I always accepted that it took them 5 seconds to respawn after suicide. That was worth it to me for team play. I just figured I get the kill or they respawn slower. Either way I've done my job.... You talking stats or in the game or both ?? I don't recall seeing it in game statistics.

As many of know, I play for fun and for the team and not for stats. So I implement suicide runs often because they can be a very effect weapon that can frustrate the enemy a GREAT deal. With a suicide run, I may die, but I can often 2-11 of the enemy with me. Plus it is a sure way to take out an SG to do a suicide run while priming.

As for the score, if you kill yourself with your own weapon or nade, then I believe you loose a point on your kill side AND gain one on your deaths.

Yes as another Villen who kills himself often and does suicide runs Calvin & Hobbes is correct in that it takes away a kill and adds a death.
