Is there any way that we can acquire awards similar to BF2 in CS:S? It would be great if there would be an MVP of each captain's game, or some award for areas of interest such as: Great Strategist, MVP, Best defender, best attacker, etc. I don't know, but some kind of award system in the CS:S would draw more players to TG and CS:S.
The best way to implement this would be in captain's games. Everone wants to display those little awards, so it would atract more participation.

This is a good idea, in my opinion, but only for official games. Tournaments maybe, or maybe there could be a special competitors' bowl where people duke it out in an ultimate PCS match and awards are given appropriately.

I'm working on a modular sig similar to the one I have for BF2, something along those lines. Stay tuned.

This gives me a reason to polish my amazing planning skillzzz

Rush B is not a plan.

AzzMan

It certainly is! But "Rush b through x while y and z do a, and b makes a diversion using a flash and smoke in that order at 5:30 at c", now that's a bigger plan.

Beth I'll give you a spelling award if you can spell captains correctly

The dev team is looking into the whole award thing, but CS is a very fast paced game, making it hard to give awards. Also, there are no dedicated roles such as medic etc. My biggest worry is that awards will lead to kill hunting in pursuit of any awards.

Then make it so most of the awards don't involve your kdr. You don't need to kill 63233902948 people to be a good defender. You pin down the bad guys and they go away. You're defending X.

Well, an MVP award wouldn't be for killing the most players. For example, the MVP award could be awarded to someone who followed their objective without any deviation, and used excellent planning skills. Something that doesn't associate the players’ score with the award. I would have to think for a while to get a bunch of awards down and reasons for giving them out, but it can be done. I really think this would attract more attention to the Tourney games, official games, and captain's games. Maybe there could be a lowest score "Effort Award", which I am sure you would always win.
