He's stating that scoreboard does not effect teamplay negatively. I will not rant, flame, or assume. Just state personal experience.

As aliens, my favorite side, they currently have a scoreboard in 1.04. Normally, as we are short a NS server for our clan at the time, I'll be pubbing around, and as the game is progressing I usually stay on top of the team with a score ratio of 2:1 or 3:1. Even when I'm playing in clan matches, I'm usually on top with a 1:1 score. I hesitate to throw myself at a TF or a phase to stop marine progression, merely on the point of my score. I'm a seasoned "halloween" clan player, and time after time, I'll stop stutter or hold up something just because of my freaking score.

I'm all for removing K-D scores, why not replace it with something useful? It's not a DM type game, so deaths don't matter. And if deaths don't matter, neither do kills.

So, if you can make heads or tails of that post, that's my stance. Remove kills and deaths from the scoreboard. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, Although I have gotten alot better at ignoring my score im nowadays (often 1:1 I have become a PG, IP and rt assain) It took a long time. I think that most ppl, especially younger guys feel they have something to prove and a good kill/death score proves it.
    One thing though that would be REALLY nice to have the option of activating whould be a board that tracks Everything you destory/ kill IE: x Restowers ,x phase gates, 3 HA killls, 2JP kills. Although It would probly be to much of a pain to implement it would be nice
