Stats

[acrazyhobo]

Alright, new stats, I like the point system so far, but headshots, although god easy to get I think should give plus two points instead of plus one - reason for it encourages people to improve and get headshots more instead of just hiding, charging up to 100 power and the popping out and shooting somebody in the knee. At least just what I think

[quote="Tarrock";p="61670"][quote="stress";p="60922"]i think people spy revenge out of hurt pride just as much as fer points, if not more, when i snipe some poor foo to domination they almost always change class and hunt.[/quote]

I really don't see that all that often(outside of dustbowl), most of the time they'll be like
"Tee Hee, I'll switch to sniper and kill that sniper that got me."
Just to be wtfpwned cause they're taking on someone who has a hell of a lot more experience as a sniper and better reaction times.

But when they do go spy to backstab the sniper, they're usually just focusing on that 1 sniper, when they could be focused on a sentry gun preventing their team from advancing.
Happens in dustbowl quite a bit You'll pop a guy enough times that he will go spy and go straight for the sniper.
What do you think happens? Well usually he sucks at being a spy and the team sees him uncloak so he get machetted losing pts with the 2.00 modifier.
If he does get the sniper, he's usually picked off by a sentry or the snipers alerted everyone that a spy is around.
In the long run though he's only hurting his own team.[/quote]

I'll admit I'm guilty of getting peeved by a Sniper that kept taking me out, and decided to sharpen my knife on his spinal column. I don't see it has hurting my team, if he's a really good Sniper, he could ostensibly be wreaking just as much havoc on my team as a Sentry Gun, and in some ways, a lot harder to kill. Sentries are big, immovable and relatively easy to kill with a concentrated push. Snipers are fast, have their pick of stealthy locations to shoot from in many maps, and are usually at a range where only another Sniper can effectively kill them (which can pose a problem if the Sniper in question is good at what he does). So I don't feel that going Spy to take out Snipers hurts the team at all. No action you take that kills a member of the enemy team can ever be considered hurting your team, if you ask me.

[quote="TheCarpe";p="60962"]To me, I feel Engis should get NO points simply for a built sentry. The points should slide upward for the destroyer depending on level (1, 3, and 5 points respectively). That way, the Engi only gets points if he builds his sentry in an area where it will kill enemies (i.e. help the team).

That's just my two cents.[/quote]The problem with that is that many engies set up sentries as the last line of defense. While they're not getting a lot of kills, it's extremely valuable for making sure a scout doesn't sneak into the backfield and take the cap.
