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 should be those magic numbers. |

Also a suggestion for CCP: In most online shooter there always seems to be this friendly, unspoken competition between the top players over who can put up the highest score / amount of kills in a single game. I think it would be neat if there was a "top scores" leaderboard that listed the highest kills, war-points, ISK gained/lost, killstreak, etc put up by players in a single public match in each game mode. |

Pretty sure I just set the record for Ambush, but of course I never told anybody because without any proof, well it's pretty much horseshit.
Ya, that's why we should have that "top score" stat and/or leaderboard so we don't have to rely on photographs as proof. |
