v3 Scoring

[Stumper]

Scoring - currently you get 2 points for each kill and -1 for each suicide. Would keeping track of the number of times you died be possible or even of interest to others? Or, breaking out the score to a 1 pt/kill for a kill column, 1 pt/suicide in a suicide column, and 1 pt/death (yep you guessed it) in a death column? Also, in v3 will you be able to make use of the ngWorldStats? Do they plan on supporting MOD's and TC's? OK .... the question (simply put) is: What are the plans for the scoring in v3? And, wouldn't seeing Infiltration listed on ngWorldStats as a game type be beneficial to Catalytic Conversions? I'm asking these questions because I would like to see such a scoring system implemented. Or, even better, if you would be able to make use of the ngWorldStats format.

Very good questions. First off, we're not quite sure how we'll do the actual game scoring- what we'll list, what we won't. It'll be an issue we'll address as the game progresses. Going on what you're saying, it'd also be nice to have the displayed score be manipulated by the client themselves- for instance, if someone just likes to see the team score and individual score than they can turn off options to list other data. A player might be rushing or simply doesn't care about having all these statistics in front of them- or the player might love to see all the little details! Maybe harder to track, but a hit % would be sweet too.

As far as the ngWorldStats goes, I haven't any idea. I don't know if this issue has already been addressed or not, so I can send off an email to Tim and see what the deal is.
