<div class="IPBDescription">good or bad idea?</div> bring back the scoreboard !
if u agree with me, put a bold <b>yes or no</b> followed by ur reason.....
yeah i know this has been started a million times before, but seriously tell me why not having ur scores shown up is a good thing?
i can think of only 1 reason why having them not there is a good thing - to stop people ramboing just to get a high score, but several reason for having them there. who remembers what it was like to get a score of somthing like 20 - 1 as skulk then at end of the game end up with somthing like 63 - 12?
if u really wanna see it put back in, voice ur opinion while there still fixing things, with ns 2.01 out shortly dont expect another update for months.

Although I liked the scoreboard (especially when I was at the top of it), people have yet to learn that 2.0 requires much more teamwork on the aliens behalf... just as much as the marines almost, and that is why it has been taken out.
The rankings are still there... that should be enough.
Yeh bring it back...but only for the aliens.
Marine need teamwork, they are one.
Forget scoreboards. As far as I'm concerned, scoreboards make people act like it's CS and they **** on teamwork like it's evil because it doesn't get them any kills.
Before 2.0 came out, I thought that removing the aliens scoreboard was a bad idea... then I played it. The alien team now needs as much teamwork as the marines, so it makes sense that there should be no scoreboard. In 1.04 the alien team was more or less a team of one-man-tanks, but in 2.0 if you don't have teamwork, you're dead.
I play aliens a lot and always enjoyed seeing my score leading the team on some of the games and I thought it was that that encouraged me. However, after playing many 2.0 games, I see that there is no point in it. I'm working for my team so my team can win. I don't care who gets that HA kill, as long as that HA is dead and out of the sexay aliens' way.
There is no need for a scoreboard other than to have a quantifiable way for one player to gloat about his 'skillz', when the game is NOT about one player. In fact, trying to center it around one gloryhound can lose the game for you.
Individual scores mean absolute jack in NS. It's all about which species dominates, and which becomes so much protein slurry to fuel the other's advancement.
Even if the xcore boards arn't on they still order the players with the most killz at the top.
zippy
Even on both teams would be not bad, it will promote ramboing on public play. Too many damn Ono's sit back and just wait for them and use redemption. Maybe with a scoreboard they'll be inclined to walk into the marine base and finish it off.
Its a team game after all, score boards are for other mods, type status if it bothers you that much.
Aliens now need cooperation more and scores promote fraghunting.
I find myself sacrificing for my team alot more than in 1.04 ( xenociding heavies etc. )
I like scores.
But type status in console at the end of the game.

I concur. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Although I loved that feeling of 30-4 kills or whatever as a killer skulk, its a purely selfish indulgence. absolutely not necessary
i love ramboing! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Simply because I like to see whether my skulking/fading/whatever is improving or not. I used to use the scores for self improvement, and to see whether I got worse or better.
I heard that the stats were supposed to be shown in tourney mode, but i guess not after playing a few games <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Stuff that has no purpose has no purpose being there.

i have never played so good in my life... i just type 'status' in console and i look there... me a lowly quite crappy player got like 45 - 4 as a skulk i seem to play better without them...
here is my Q
your names are placed on the scoreboard at what i first thoguht was aplphabetically.. but it isnt.. does this mean that the higher your score the higher your place on the names bar? if so surely that is a sort of 'silent' scoreborad...
I'm sick of the egos people grow when they are at the top, especially when it is me.
Gotta disagree with you on this one j.
On pubbies we gotta teach the nubbins teamwork etc, and that frags dont matter, otherwise youll get hoardes saving for onos without putting down rts first.
Plus you can get scoreboards on tournement mode, right?
I know it feels great when youve killed loads, but you can always check status, and i normally know how many times ive died roughly as alien.
No.
