Very simple really. If the person you wounded to near death bleeds out, you get the kill. If a medic does his job, and stops the bleeding before it dies, you don't get the kill, and obviously doesn't counts as a death.

I will support that 100%.

So you are fine with kill info and +50 (60) popping at a later time?

I imagine you would still get the points, but it wouldn't count as a kill, and the players you downed could still be displayed on the leaderboard. Example:

A/T/K/D (from left to right: assists, takedowns, kills and deaths)
4/6/5/2

How do you get points without getting a kill?

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

As pointed out you don't have a kill without a death so you have to wait for the bleed out before you get the points and the credit.

So you may get your deaths erased but you will also get plenty of kills erased. Instead of going 15-2 you may go 7-0.

Instead of 750 WP you get 350. The other 400 went to the medics who picked them up.

Now add the ability to execute a downed merc. Your teammate gets the kill and you get the assist only if the execution is quick enough after the down to count. If you had an assist on the down you now get nothing as you weren't the second to last person to do damage.

All that so your stat looks a little better.

Presently, when you "kill" someone, you get 50 points. What I'm suggesting is that when you cut through a player's shields and armor, the following would appear:

+50 Takedown

You'd get the same amount of points for downing someone, but it would no longer count as a kill. To earn a kill, you would need to do one of the following:

• Take someone out with a headshot
• Shoot a downed player
• Prevent the enemy from reviving players you take down

Perhaps there could even be a small reward when you get a kill. Example:

+5 Kill

Alternatively, the reward for takedowns could be lowered to something like 40, and netting a kill would give you the remaining 10 points.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that +50 are War Points you get for your contribution in battle, right ? You also get +25 for a kill assist right ? ... you see where i going with this ?

- Takedown counts the same as a Kill Assist +25
- Kill assist now counts as +15
- If the person you wounded dies, you get an extra +50
- If the medic rescues that person from death, it gets the +50

Also what Canaan Knute say about, "executing" down enemies, will also work better this way. You'll need to decide if you want to take the risk of a " Execution " for an extra +50 WP.

Edit: and when i say " Execution ", i mean a bullet in the head

I imagine you would still get the points, but it wouldn't count as a kill, and the players you downed could still be displayed on the leaderboard. Example:

A/T/K/D (from left to right: assists, takedowns, kills and deaths)
4/6/5/2

When some one dies in a hospital and is then revived, they still died.

So I was playing a game, trying to go X amount of kills and 0 deaths. I died one time and got revived. At the end of the match it said I went 12 and 1. As I understand it if a clone is revived that clone is spared, suits, weapon, etc. We don't actually die until we bleed out, so why should we take the death until we bleed out? If we wanted to get technical we are actually on the ground dying but not yet dead. What also make this bad, is when you get revived and die, revived and die, and so on, all those deaths count. I know of another game where a revive spared your death ratio. Now I know this is not that other game, it is Dust 514. So I post this to see if maybe it is a mistake/glitch, or is it intentional? I think this should be fixed. I wanted to know if the community knows this and how do they feel about it?

If they fix...what? Nothing is broken. You went down. Your HP went below 0. That's a death. You don't undo that just because someone saved you afterwards.

OP, What you're saying is that if you get downed and revived you shouldn't have a death on you, what is supposed to happen to the person that "killed" you? they took you all the way down and got a kill added to their stats, is that kill supposed to be removed once you get revived? that's robbing the enemy player of that kill. You're asking if it is intentionally implemented, i believe it is just to reflect the skill of all players. If someone bests you in combat and runs off, then a teammate comes up to revive you, that opponent still bested you and it should reflect on their stats.

Either this or Panther Alpha's idea:

You died, get over it.

You died, get over it.

How about a revived stat. . . I see a full side of negatives for it, but at the same time. Some people like useless screens full of stats. Gives Logi's something to do running around sticking needle junkies.

And the purpose I would hope is that the Revive will be HUGE when and if the MAPS get HUGE. I think respawns should put you back in the rear or specific strategic take over points to make that hump back to the front make youthink twice. A heavy waiting to revived and staying at the front is way more beneficial than respawning. Bigger maps will make revives very essential.

You died, get over it.
