Point system in DOD is the suq

Ok, I don't have the best kill to death ratio but I don't have the worst either. I know how the points system works and how the more high ranked players you kill and how you kill them the more points you get. But when I play, I shoot whoever comes across my path and with whatever I have in my hand. How can I be on the 7 page for player rankings with guys that have killed 4 people and died 10 times be ahead of me. It just makes no sense, tonight on Charlie I captured 3 of the 4 command points 2 times in a row, you would think that would count for something, because on that map with a full server, its just not that easy.

I am not a stat whore but you've got to give credit where credit is due, and the point system for this mod is absolutely positively crap.

I will however continue to play

and I am not changing my style, otherwise it just wouldn't be fun.

I'm usually happy when I'm not on the last page of the stats

. I check them when I need a good laugh.

It would be nice if the point system in DoD at least recorded how many times you had capped the flag for each team.

I know the main problem with this is that someone can go onto the server when no one else is there and abuse it.

Can a minimum number of people on the server be put in place for capping to count for a stat?

Just put it out there for discussion.

Shockwave, that's exactly what happens with the TFC stats. If less than 4 people are on the server, flag caps don't count.

I'm sure the admins could find a way to implement flag caps into the DoD stats.

I would for sure be up for something like that Shocky. You know i don't care so much about killed but more about capping.

I think the main problem is that DOD has changed the way scoring is done, mainly. It's a good idea to change scoring so you don't have rampant camping, and rewards those players who put their necks out there to get shot to cap flags.

However, this leads to 1:2 K

Ratios on people, and the people doing what ranks them high on the in-game scoreboard are near the bottom of the stats

After three days, I don't expect anyone to really have a good stats system for DOD. We'll see in a couple of months how stats are calculated.

I really hope they do something. Especially on a map like Charlie where the allies aren't really going to get alot of kills, the whole point of that map is getting killed 10 times just to cap one point. Why should I even go Allies, except to keep teams even. (I put that last part in for BRN

) I know its not all about stats, but I do like to see on the board how I compare to the other players and the way it is now, its just not giving an accurate report.
