I noticed this while playing the other day, what I think is really missing from this game, are kill streaks, and things like double, triple, quadruple kills etc etc. I mainly played Halo as my FPS of choice, so I'm not sure if other FPS games do this, but I for one think it would be nice to get some kind of visual or verbal queue for when you're housing the crap out of your opponent.
Anyone else agree, or is this too trivial?
EDIT: Just a clarification, I'm not talking about giving bonuses for kill streaks or anything like that. Just a good old fashion verbal or visual queue letting you know that you're hulking out ;) |

Right? It's such a minor thing, but it pumps you up, really helps to keep the adrenaline going. I also like to know when I've passed 5-10-15 kills etc, cuz I do it all the time and only really notice at the very end of the game >_< |

I'm all for getting players all worked up and getting "the beast out of them" but it shouldn't be based on kills.
How about WP or objective based enthusiasm?
I don't see why we couldn't have both? I'm all for adding stuff for the guys who are capping objectives and following orders and stuff, but also putting things in for kills could only help.
Yea, I think we should have both ^_^ |

If a killstreak bonus was implemented though, I would hope it would only be used in Ambush mode. On the plus side, a killstreak bonus would also help Ambush equalize with Skirmish as I have always gotten alot less points in Ambush compared to Skirmish.
In any case, we already have a killstreak bonus; the orbital strike.
I just want to clarify, I'm not talking about any kind of bonuses, just a verbal or visual notification letting you know that you're tearing up the house  |

This is true, though it's so minor I hardly even notice (I have noticed though). As for the comment about MCC shields and clones and stuff, that is an indicator that my TEAM is doing good, not that I am doing good.
At the very least, it would be nice to have this stuff tallied up and put into a battle report at the end of the match, so I can see how many double kills, triple kills, rampages, etc etc I had. It wouldn't effect anyone else, it would just be a nice way to see just how good I did during a match. The same kind of information could be applied to things like hacking, capturing and defending objectives, following squad orders, revives, etc etc. |

There is NO I in TEAM
There's no WE either, or US, or even THEM, for that matter.
If you jumble it around a bit you can find a ME though |

No US in team? But I've had a blast playing with US people!
Rofl, we are a rather interesting bunch, aren't we?
I want to keep this on topic though, sorry for getting a bit off track. I'm more or less curious about WHY this would be a bad idea? Leaderboards already support KDR, and this technically doesn't really "support" KDR, it's just a friendly indicator that you're doing well.

This is all I'm talking about. Not giving bonus points, or extra ISK, or anything like that. |

I would much rather see someone I know I can work with to get an objective on my team then some leet KDR arrogant as F*** punk who thinks hes the almighty's gift to Dust514 because he can contribute nothing to squad efforts, play's it safe the entire match, and makes sure he saves his precious clone long enough to kill a few noobs. KDR mentality is stupid. It's not a reflection of a person ability or lack there of to play the game. Maybe if this were all about 1 on 1 fights you could make that argument but in the end a person who is on a squad with a 0.3 KDR that is willing to listen to squad leader and even act as a diversion or do whats dangerous to help the squad is 1000x more useful then some 20.0 KDR person who just hides from everyone and only takes the safe kills to save his precious KDR.
Except the problem with your thinking is that a lot of us are right there on the front lines, tearing it up, making sure you guys that aren't as good aren't dieing, so that way you can still contribute.
You guys act like people with good KDRs don't know how to cap objectives or listen to orders.... |

I still fail to see what this has to do with letting us know when we just tore the enemy a new one >_< I think we're overcomplicating things here lol |
