i like the idea but it should make it so like you get different amount of points based on what gun you use like if someone were to pgp (for fun or something) then maybe they should get more points for kills then you would get for something like a carbine.

If implemented, I think it should apply only to matches in order to promote competitive play and also so the stats actually have some meaning.

Also that could be abused, but it has more sense than to put rankings in pubs.

Abusion could be prevented by putting referee in every match - it would be really complicated.

There's no fair and just ranking system - beside, in the end what's the meaning of it than just for personal satisfaction and egotrip. This community is not that big so that people don't know each other skill. There are less than 10 good clans and less than 5 top ones (pumped up numbers). So why do we need ranking system?

See thats what we need, more ideas to help make this possible. Good job skitzo.

I agree and disagree with that jitspoe, I'm fine with having ranking stats applied for matches but I still think there should be ranked servers with a certain level required to get in so noobs don't camp and spawn kill and all that unfair stuff. Also I recommend using other games for ideas. Such as halo 3, I love that ranking system and it works well for me. I have no dislikes about it and its easy to understand. Its cool how besides having to gain a certain number of exp. points by your team winning or you placing in the top half of the party when its a DM, you can also gain a rank by achieving a higher numbered rank. Its basically which ever one comes first.

I think the current local stats system is fine. IMO, adding a ranking system such as this would make it overly complicated. -1

WILL THIS (OR ANY OF THE FEATURE VOTES) EVER BE IMPLEMENTED? CAN WE AT LEAST RECEIVE SOME FORM OF INDICATION AS TO WHAT YOU ARE WORKING ON? OR CAN YOU JUST TELL US THAT YOU ARE DONE WORKING ON THE GAME? EVERY TIME SOMEONE SUGGESTS SOMETHING YOU LINK THEM TO THE FEATURE VOTE AND THEN WE NEVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT AGAIN.

(and it has been that way since i started playing)

New physics is the only real change in the last like 7 years. And even that IMO - even though the intent was good, ruined some great maps (ren/carp). And seeing as no good mappers were able to make another competitively used map since these changes, no new maps to fit the new physics have come out. So it becomes a very negligible change. (not to mention lots of servers never switched so it takes forever to get used to new physics when you keep switching).

IMO Team Ranking System > Individual ranking system. I don't care if it causes clan hopping or not. It makes it so teams have a reason to practice. Teams have a ladder to climb to be the best. It's a team game, not individual game. It's about camping/rushing/capping/grabbing/decoying/reconning, so much more than KDA comes into play that individual stats aren't necessary. Team ranking is much more important.

Not to mention 100000 other things people listed that may or may not improve the game.

^that's exactly why i bumped this thread. We all just saw how active the game can be when some form of competition is involved...(spec's tournament)

Sorry I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the game right now, but this will probably be the next major feature I work on after I at least get the new bots functional.

Yo, Jitspoe!

People could just go in a match with their freind and let them kill the over and over again.
Alot of people spawn camp before the match started because everyone re spawns instantly.

Well, that's certainly a concern, but the plan is to have some sort of formula that takes into account the different ranking levels of the players involved, so if you eliminate a new or low ranked player a whole bunch, that's not going to help your ranking, and if you let a low-ranked friend eliminate you a whole bunch, then that's going to drop your own ranking down.  If you're both at the same rank and go eliminating each other back and forth, then you'll just stay at around the same rank.
