Award Ideas

[lamsbro]

Awards are useful for encouraging competition. I think both FFA and TBD awards could be changed to better accomplish that.

Current FFA awards are:
-kamikaze- I'm not a big fan of this, there is never any competition for this reward because it is too easy to do. I like the idea of something that gives new players a chance to be on the screen but how about something a little more interactive, like "whipping boy" (most non-suicide deaths) or "worst K/D ratio"
-longest life- this one is ok but its hard to see how you stack up compared to your competitors during the game so its always a surprise who gets it
-best multikill- too similar to best killstreak I think.
-best killstreak- I like it, but maybe too similar to most deadly
-most deadly- this is a good one but it is generally unachievable for anyone that hasn't been there since the start of the match, also I think it might be nice to recognize 2nd and 3rd place sometimes

New Idea: not really new, but what about k/d ratio where only those with 5+ kills are counted?

Current TBD awards are:
-kamikaze- not a fan for reasons above, how about least valuable player? That was fun, maybe.
-demolitions expert-I like this one
-best killstreak-not a big fan, I think tbd awards should emphasize team goals not individual ones
-most deadly- not a big fan again, too much emphasis on individual goals.
-most valuable player- this is ok but maybe too similar to demolitions expert. I think team objectives should be rewarded heavily in these calculations.

New Idea: how about some statistics, like the total number of kills/deaths of each team, combined k/d ratios of each time, time in possession of bomb, # of bomb steals, turnovers (if neutral bombs are in use), # of items grabbed.

A statistics database would be neat in general, where you can see how you rank against others in terms of various metrics over certain time frames (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, alltime)

I liked the Goldneye/old biplanes award system.

IMO, the best awards have always been the ones you could ridicule people over or brag about. The best award(s) in old biplanes was the Kill Steal award and the Most Robbed award. No one even really gave a **** about who won in FFA's, it was all about the Kill Steal award ;O

All that said, a database or something of stats would be awesome I just don't think it'd be fitting at an award screen. I always liked the idea of having a bunch of different awards, and whatever conditions were met the most, the top 5 would show up.

What about an award for most Assists.

[lamsbro]

I believe that was called "Most Robbed" in the old version. I agree with Blank, those old ones were some good awards.

for TBD
Best Bomber-most accurate bomber in the game

for FFA
Most Damage Done-like most deadly but includes assists also
Bitch-most kills stolen from

[Triped]

For TBD, what about some kind of "minority MVP" for the best player on the losing side?

For TBD, what about some kind of "minority MVP" for the best player on the losing side?

For FFA i think that having maybe a second and third place might be nice, as long as it's kept limited at like top 2 or three, no going crazy. Also, I think that this idea of recognizing the top ppl on both teams could be the equivalent of this for TBD.

[Kupac]

how about most random

for anyone who played through the whole match using only random.

if there's more then one, then the player with the best stats is chosen.

Here are some more I thought of:

Efficiency award: Best K/D Ratio (maybe a diff. name) in TBD and FFA

Best Teammate: Most assists in TBD games

Best Offensive Player: Same as most damage done I guess...maybe rename. In TBD only obviously.

Best Defensive Player: Consists of: most bomb carriers killed, bombs caught, bombs defused, and bombs reflected by shield. In TBD only.

I don't think there are enough bomb runs in a game to determine "most reliable bomber" in only one round though.

Please don't put this in TBD, it will make the kill whoring worse than it already is. Limit it to FFA and team FFA if it's ever put in.

I agree with this. When the biggest multikill or kill streak is 2, I don't want to see that award on the screen, but that could be a game where the kamikaze award is interesting.

[DiogenesDog]

There's a better reason not to add K/D ratio: You'd have to add a minimum number of kills if you didn't want this award to get ****ed up by a guy who joined late and went 1-0. Which means you'd have to have some retarded complicated description and just... meh. It's a big mess.

I think factoring a version of this into MVP might be cool, though.
