"Lowering the score for kills" should go away! Common scene tells me that if you give some one a larger number it makes for a bigger attitude. The kill count is the only thing "I" pay attention to, (1 Kill 1 Point) never the score. It's nice to know your doing you part by that 1 Kill 1 Point. BUT ANY type of scoring should never go to the inflation of your head it's only purpose is for a gauge.

I believe if your going with a scoring system it should break down like so:
(Rank) John-TG Score, Kills, Assists, (-)Self Deaths TK's.
Now John is a Medic he healed 2 people therefore= 2 Assist points.
John shot 1 person= 1 point.
John fell off a ladder -1 Death point.
John-TG's score should look like this:
(Rank) John-TG Score+2 Kills+1 Assists+2 Self Deaths or TK's-1 <<<Score of 2>>>>.
If you want to promote people doing more you give incentives to the things you want them to do. ( horse, stick, and carrot )
If you take away the "kills" you take out CoD2 fans. Also if taking Kills away and going with score it's an inaccurate way of gauging actual progress if going by the score. Because how will you know how many kills you got over all?
The rank promotes people playing more; the stick and carrot thing.

Why is there a focus on laming down the game; it has so far been going good has it not?
There hasn't even been a test scrimmage yet.

Ren I think you are missing the point this is a team game/mod or at least the goal I have for it is. You said "Common scene tells me that if you give some one a larger number it makes for a bigger attitude." And this is what we want to help change. Most people are playing for EGO when it comes to the score board. Like in this statement "The kill count is the only thing "I" pay attention to, (1 Kill 1 Point) never the score. " So In re-reading your last statement have you come realize something. Maybe instead of looking at Kills you should look at your Deaths to Rounds played to gauge how well you are playing. We play
S and D for a reason that is to promote Teamwork and Teamplay, Because if we are just Judging how well we do on how many kills we get, We might as well go and play TDM.
Heres an example of TDM style of play right when you spawn you run staight for the enemys spawn area kill a few this is good for TDM style of play, But we are playing S and D
and they dont mix, cause now you spawn run right for the enemy spawn area maybe get one , then sit out the rest of the game. So now how is this really helping the team but it is helping your kill count which in turn is feeding the EGO. And yes the carrot with a higher score you rank faster so why not have people score higher on the things that they do for there team this will help with the Team Work part of the game. And here is why John TG
should have a higher score. John TG just ran all the way across the map to revive his team mate instead of going after the enemy that he knows is around the corner just so he can
add one more to his kill count. Now that is true Team Play. Just like in real life you get medals for such acts, but in game you get a higher score which gives you a higher rank.
And yes you may loose a few players by doing this but what you will gain is far better. And that is people who rather work as a team instead of inflating there own score by killing as many as they can before they die.
