What do u all think about visable scores in NS, i think it sucks!
Couse then when the team is going after an Onos and some one takes him, some dumb ppl says HEY, THAT WAS MY KILL MAN!!!
but when u cant see scores i think there is more team play in the game, so i dont want visable scores, couse i dont want this to be like CS when everyone screams KILLSTEALER after you....

NS should be a Teamplay mod forever, dont ruin the fun!!!

    The new score system would be more than just frags, I presume.

    I agree completely. Scores only encourage glory hunters. Lots of the time you have to sacrifice yourself for the good of your team.

    I think and hope for it. Something based on the "usefulness" of each players, not only on kill/death ratio. How many nodes he built, how many PG, etc.

    Everyone wants to be useful, but usefulness in NS is almost never judged in kills. Putting up that section of o turrets to block a walkway as a gorg can potentially win a game, because if you hadn't done it that marine that was killed by them might have got a firebase up to seige your hive.

    Its a team game, if you want a high score go back to playing iceworld or poolday in CS.

    How old is this? Unless this was brought up, there's no point in arguing against visible scores since there aren't any in 2.0

    I posted this today, read the news on main, They said maybe visable scres in 2.1.
    Visable scres would ruin the game even if they show what u buil, couse the everyone would RUN FAST to somethng abd built it as fast as they could.

    say NO to visable scores <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In 1.04 I really like the scores and of course when it came time to vote I voted for show all scores. After not having scores in 2.0 I've realized its really not all that bad, it just takes a couple extra seconds to type status in console. While I would support the addition of showing scores I don't really see any compelling reason to bring them back in except I like them. Now there are the teamplay issues to think of though on the other side and not that no scores has really changed teamplay at all, but I think it may have discouraged one or two players from concentrating only on kills. I still wouldn't mind this being a possible server side option though...

    I think that not showing the scores is pretty stupid because you can always find out your score, and people have just started writing scripts to make checking your score from the console easier... We can find them out, therefore not displaying them in the scoreboard is nothing but an annoyance to everyone who plays ns.

    Showing the score by default would just take away something to do while waiting to respawn - typing status in the console to see your score <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. I wonder though ... is there a way to change the console font? It'd be easier to read with a monospaced font.

    no it's just an annoyance to anyone playing ns and wanting to know its score.

    With me as alien, if you want some kills, sure. I'll get a bite and let you the second, granted it's not going to be too dangerous for both of us and I got enough for my own (in pubs I usually stay skulk as I love it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->)
    In marines, there's absolutely no reasoning as to why we'd allow anybody to share kills. Concentrate fire, kill off twice as fast and gain res just as much.
    A thing I love is going onos, stomping a team and letting a skulk some harmless feast <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Is it just me or does/did voogru reset your score to 0 every frag? (regardless of the number of kills you really made)

    i find myself checking the scores less and less because you have to use a console command to do so. If i can just push tab and see it, its sooo much more convinient. If visable scores come back, NS is going to turn into another CS clone

    Because every multi-player game that shows scores is a CS clone. Of course.
