Game stats stay

BonesX

Mu biggest complaint about NS is that when a game ends it kills the scoreboard so fast you never get to see it.
Well mostly anyway. If there was a way to leave the scoreboard up till a new round starts that would be great!
That way when killing time between map changes or rounds we could ll see how we were stacking up in the match.


usually i only get to see when I am on the table but not much in the way of individual stats (kills/deaths ect)

Perhaps when a match ends the scoreboard is copied into a different set of variables for storage that is used to display the scores only in the readyroom. This means that the scorebord in the readyroom only changes when a match ends.

Hope that this makes sense.

Thanks for the great game otherwise!

You mean that you want a debriefing "results" screen where the player can see the stats from the game? This would be achieved by the press of a button or accessed through a menu. The stats would be reset at the start of every new round or, alternatively, they could even be saved temporarily on your computer so that you can browse through the stats from each match whenever you please.

How about, the stats is displayed on a HUGE screen in the readyroom?

That would be rather fancy...

I forget what game, maybe its dystopia you can save it as a HTML page or something. That would be cool

I object to game stats because they cause individual play on pubs. If you want that then play counter strike. However, if you must have stats then I suggest the following that rewards team play rather than individual play.

1. Each kill is worth 3 points
2. Assisting a kill (i.e. damaging a opponent 10sec before it dies) 1 point
3. Building a structure by your self 3 points.
4. Assisting a build (10% or more of a build) 1 point.
5. Healing/welding other players/structures. 1 point per 100 repaired
6. Com, 1 point for each building built or alien killed via turrets
7. Damaging structures: 1 point per 100 damaged.

optional
8. Team kills -4 points
9. Failing to follow commander’s orders (this would be hard to impellent) –x points

This sort of format would eliminate the just get the best kill ratio.

perhaps ready rooms could even have monitors which display scores and best / worse players, and even perhaps - funny events - like longest fade, most damaging onos etc...

yeah this could be funny. I have payed on servers with a plug in where people got awarded titles like "bullet magnet" for the most attacked player etc. The important factor is to make what ever scoring system is used (if any) to promote team play.

The best games I have played is when both teams work together. I would rather lose in those games than win in one where the players are acting like idiots. What ever scoring system is introduced into the next NS should be made to promote team play and not noob play.

I have played on several servers that gave out awards. In fact when I started out playing NS I spent alot of time on the MArine trainer servers. I actually thought that awards were a part of NS not that particular server. They were alot of fun.

My thing with this is the scoreboard is already tracking stats from the game. However, at game end the scrores are just GONE so fast you cant hardly see them. I just figured maybe they could change the code to reset that scoreboard as part of the new match setup as opposed to at the end of a match.
