In many shooters 100 kill games are revered by many and are constantly sought out by many of the top players as they are considered one of the few ways to prove true skill.

However, some games have matches that are too short to legitimately put up this number and some games have matches that just play too slowly and don't have enough action for someone to find this many kills (like Dust 514), so another number is used as that standard.

How many kills in Dust do you think is as impressive as a 100 kill game in other games like MAG or COD? What is that barrier that the top players and, if this game ever picks up, Youtubers, should be constantly trying to break? What do you consider to be that "wow I can't believe he just up that score" number? Assume exploits aren't used (like sniping from a soft spot behind the red line) and vehicles aren't abused (like hiding in a HAV the entire game with a full party backing you up). Most average players probably don't care much about this but good players love trying to break that barrier and set new limits.

For reference, a Skirmish match typically plays for around 17-22 minutes and Ambush typically plays for around 6-9 minutes.

I say 40 kills in Ambush and 60 kills in Skirmish (though Skirmish lasts much longer than Ambush it plays much slower) should be those magic numbers.

Average "high kill" games I see from good killers as follows: Ambush 22-30, Skirmish 35-45

Good (equivalent to 100-kill MAG status) high kill games: Ambush 35-45, Skirmish 50-60

Often you will see these kinds of score from a select group of groundpounders across a few corps.

52/3 in a skirmish is my personal best. So that's my benchmark for a truly great match.

48/0 is beastly.
