Alien Vs. Marine Running Game Toll?

I don't know if anyones thought of this but if a running toll of wins and losses Marines vs. Aliens was kept it might be easier to distinguish which side is more powerfull, and help in balancing.

Just a thought,
Rascal


Also Marine scores in the Tab window would be uber-lite <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Marine scores would encourage deathmatch play; marines are supposed to work as a team and not go off chasing some skulk to get points.

    EH....the marines do that, score or no score they still run off to kill stuff. I have experianced more teamplay on aliens than marines even though they get a score.

    The only possible way to win with aliens is to use teamplay. It doesnt matter with marines, i have take out 2 hives with defenses solo (well with the cmder) jetpack and hmg are just a really deadly mix, any skulk that come running though vent dies in a millisecond with that gun, unless it long distance. Offensive chambers die in about 3 seconds really close with hmg.

    Well if you wanted marine scores, I suppose you could count yourself. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Pardon me, but I don't believe he is talking about individual scores. He's talking about keeping a record of how many games each team has won, to better understand which areas of team balancing need improvement, if any. Am I right?

    Personally, I think this is a great idea! To tell the truth, I am going to attempt to implement this on my server, through an Admin Mod plugin or a whole new Meta Mod plugin itself. I'm going to go ask on the AM forums if someone will right one. Basically it will record who won the round and on what map and how long it took, and write it to a file so that I can display it on my site or forums as a type of daily BDA (Battle Damage Assessment).

    If anyone here thinks they can write such a plugin, PM me please, and we'll talk about it. Or, you can contact me through the link in my signature. It might also be something worth putting in the ideas forum, no?

    Individual scores would be nice but not required. I was trying to conentrate more on overally wins and losses of aliens and marines. I just thought individual scores would be nice seeing as aliens get them, BUT if that disturbs what the creators of NS wanted, then it shouldn't be.

    Clarifying,

    I don't think recording of statistics over the win loss ratio would be that bad an idea (individual scores for marines would suck big time though and pretty much eliminating any kind of teamwork on the marine side).
    To summarize:
    -Alien versus Marines win ratio: Good idea.
    -Individual score for marines: Very, very bad idea (and not what rascal said, just some people who can't read said that rascal said).
