Is where you are at on the list of people your rank? It doesn't show a kill/death score, which I assume is because it is a team game. However, I don't see people moving in and out of the server, but I move up and down the list.

    Yes I've wondered this for awhile too. Does anyone know how the order of the people in the Tab menu actually works?

    Marines = random
    Aliens = people with most kills at top (works just like CS scoreboard but doesn't show the numbers)

    Agreed. Marines arn't sorted in order of rank, but the positions of players DOES seem to change, so what is it based on?

    I think the marine are based on number of deaths, or least deaths or summink...

    I noticed ppl at the bottom of the rine list usually are the better players...

    I always get scared with the marine score menu, because I tend to be in the lower half of the board. Hopefully it is random and has no significance. Maybe it is based on something else and we just have to find out.

    **EDIT** Woa didn't notice the post before mine.

But I doubt it is the normal scoreboard in reverse order, that would be too easy to figure out.

    Hopefully we can find out for sure though.

    Don't be a stats ****. In both CS and NS, most kills does NOT win games. Put your team before yourself and your score.

    Marines are not sorted. If you want to examine the evidence, type 'status' in your console and compare to what you see in the tab menu.

    Who gives a flying f--k how many kills you have, you could kill 500000000 people and your team would lose, and that would suck.

    right snake, but its still nice to know how you are going in regard to your status.
    Although kills mean nothing if ur a gorge and some skulk res **** to onos.
    Of course he will be ontop.
    Anyway as sum1 further up said type status.
    This will show you your exact kills. Then compare that to the list and. vualla.
    Aliens sorted by kills, rines arent.
    They are sorted by who entered the game first.(I think)

    Hmm, and that might explain the fact that the better players are at the bottom, because the worst tend to stack whatever team the better players go to, after they have already gone...

    Yeah actually that sounds right, as far as when I play marines, I just jump in because I try to alternate. So I don't sit there thinking, "Hmm what am I going to play today?"

    Funnily enough, last game I played when I was a perma gorge I was on the top of the list for most of the game. I got shifted down to 3rd spot when 2 onos showed up in the last 10 mins <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
