Fragging

The_New_Akuma

<div class="IPBDescription">Sorry if this is been asked</div>Hi, im a newbie to this mod, i just found out about it today, from planet half lifes update about it, it looks really good, I have read the "about NS" and the FAQ.

Alot of team-based games..well.. ALL team based games, are nothign but deathmatches, you know what i mean im sure, firearms, CS, tfc, etc etc all anyone cares about is frags frags and frags, if your team won it dont mean anything if your not on top score kind of thing. I hate people who are like that, i love games like RTCW and MOH:AA since i like BEING a team member, not a frag-master  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

So what i want to know is, will you get points, sroce or whatever for doing things like helping ppl, like healing them (if u can do that) or if the commander tells u to go somewhere, u do it. Since i think this will help frag-masters get over there prob and become a helpfull team player.

The New Akuma, Thanks  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

correct me if i'm wrong but I believe the marines have hidden scores.

100% right Sgt. X. Marine scores are hidden to promote teamplay, quite simple <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
As for the aliens, they have their scores shown, as they are a more DM based team. Thus, the mod can carter to the DM players, and the teamplayers like you.

thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> sounds very cool, anouther thing that annoys me is stuff like this

(heres a leader bored thing on a ramdom game)

1. 1337 Killer Frags - 29 Deaths - 9
2. Frog-man Frags - 11 Deaths - 3
3. The New Akuma Frags - 3 Deaths - 19

then u get the top guy (Mr. 1337 killer) calling you a n00b non stop for the rest of your life, but what he dont know is the new akuma (this is basied on what normally happans to me lol) goes diveing into battle armed with a medic kit to heal ppl then get killed, but healing about 5 or 6 ppl before that, thus HELPING THE TEAM

Yeah, that can ruin the entire concept of teamwork sometimes. The absence of individual scores as a marine really does help though. I never once thought about a personal score while playing as a marine. Not once.

Switch to aliens, and it totally changes... I'm watching the scoreboard steady. It's really amazing in that way, I think.

Maybe an option to hide or show scores from the client side could be implemented.  CS is supposed to be a team based mod and for a while they had removed the playerscores.  Eventually after much bitching by the CS comminuity, they put the scores back in.

I may be the oddball, but I actually like to know my killratio compared to other players on my team.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

i dont mind at all about haveing frags (points or whateveer) for the aliens, since i like the type of alien thats fast, deadly, but oddly smart, like the blep that other aliens can see shows where marines are. So tell me, is it all that wonderfull? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->


EDIT:

soo..

#1 40+ frags
#2 30-40
#3 10-30
#4 0-10

or something like that <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> no wait, my idea sucked, ignore it plz <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

I dont mind the marines scores not showing.  It didnt work for CS cause they initially had the scores showing, and people got used to that.  So when they finally removed them, people wanted them back.  But since they are probably never visible for the marines in the first place, no one should really miss them   <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
