Kills divided by deaths. Yours is 0.82


Is that good or bad?

You can help the team and still wind up going negative. Until you let go of your k/d, you won't get any better.


I am starting to forget about kd. It is all about the win. Ruffgonjaing isnt good though. As Sanuel mentioned earlier, kd doesnt tell the full story of the game. It doesnt convey callouts and positioning.

Kd means very little, but does mean something.

Player A averages 20 and 10 in a game

Player B averages 6 and 1 in a game


I think everyone would agree they would prefer Player A from the above example. Despite having a K/D of 2 compared to Player Bs 6 they are doing nearly all the work.

Surely the stat of Kills per game is the most important when judging a player. This coupled with K/D(aslong as they go positive) shows a player with the best ability.

This is why you shouldn't judge on K/D, some people have legitimate high K/Ds but actually contribute very little.



Does every single thread you make have to always be about K/D or how competitive gamers are ruining halo?

A k/d over 1.0 means that you kill more people than kill you. So you die more than you kill.

Not entirely true. My K/D is a 2.43 and I contribute to an average of 18 kills/game. (Which is lower than what it should be due to all the times teams have quit in the first minutes of matches.)

The Tech Game

1,000,000+ Members, and still going strong!

I go try-hard when it comes to KD.. I have like 10.67 for my Reach KD because I tried hard in L.D.

Then I have a 6.-- something KD in Halo 3 because I tried hard also. =)

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I would say so, yes.
Why though is beyond me and, more than likely, beyond any of us on the Halo: Reach forum.

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

A player should not be based only on k/d. However it should be taken into account.

Playlist K/D + W/L ratio is the only way to properly read service records. The combined K/D on the front page of your record doesn't mean much.
Pretty much this. Someone can have a 3.24 k/d on his main page and people will think he's good but look at his playlist and he has a 4.21 k/d in lolivingdead and a 1.0 - 1.5 k/d in normal playlists.

Just do it

I never cared about K/D. As long as they contribute to the team.

  • 01.08.2012 1:52 PM PDT

While I'm not obsessed with my K/D. If I'm playing and die without a kill or assist, I kick myself in the butt a little. Then think about what I could have done better.

But I still base a-lot off of K/D.

i know it doesn't really matter


I mean on both ends.

People bother to stat-check and brag and others actually care what people have to say?

Retards on both ends.

Whatever floats your boat.
Translation: you have no counter to my argument.


K/D under 1 = trash 100% of the time. Sorry I hate to break it to you guys but that's just the way it is. I don't mean to troll or anything, you can be bad and have an opinion. You can be bad and be cool.. but you can't be bad and good at the same time, at least not at Halo.
You are 100% correct. I offer myself as an example.
