Please do not record death counts.


They're the worst thing in FPS these days as they cause people to camp and look after their K/D. If you just record other stats like kills, assists and other tasks they've done then that is great. You only need something like an overall skill level stat like what BF3 has, no need to add the number of deaths as well.

The problem is people do not like loss in FPS games and neither do I. There is nothing worse than having to wait longer and longer each time you want to respawn as it makes you want to sit back out of the action more. The same goes for showing the death count as people just love going sniper, camping and looking after it instead of getting objectives.

Planetside 2 will play much better if people aren't trying to look after their k/D ratio and so removing the death count will be a great idea to keep the flow of the battle going.
