Player from team A spawns and kills a player from team B, 50-49 clones
Another player from team B shows up and kills the player from team A, then revives his squad mate, 49-50 clones
When you revive someone you stop them from dying and losing a clone so it should reflect on the number of clones left and not take away 1 clone because it isnt lost, also on the K/D he didnt die so he should not have the death added to his K/D
I thought it already worked like that. the clones counter only drops when a player re spawns.
What I would like to see though, is that while you get a +50 immediately when you kill someone, you should get a -50 if that player is then revived. He didn't die after all...
This could add another fun aspect to the game, denying the other side points.
Same with hacking. Where you get +100 for a successful hack. instead you should get the first half as soon as the virus upload is complete, and the rest when the hack succeeds. In turn. you lose the initial 50 if the opposition stops the hack, where they instead get those 50.
Losing the 50 if the hack is stopped, is identical to the current amount. But seeing a red -50 on the screen, instead of the pretty blue +50 is an extra motivator to stay put and protect the hack. |

A tactic I really haven't seen yet, is when both teams are more or less on level, that the losing side stops respawning, leaving fewer people on the ground, but also giving those last few a chance to make that all important final kill that tips the balance.
The game ends when the clone counter is 000, and one more tries to respawn.
Edit:
Actually, the game ought to end only when the last merc is dead. Respawning just stops when the counter hits 0. One determined guy can wreak havoc. It is not a survival tactic to just hide. because the team with most survivors on the ground + remaining clones wins. |
