A few ideas to further improve both of what I listed above.

Service Records:

1. No matchmaking KDR for all gametypes combined; total KDR should only be in Slayer game types.
2. Victory Streak overhaul
* Blue Bars indicate victory; Red Bars indicate defeat. Grey Bars indicate Quitting/Being Kicked.
* Whether you win or lose, the colored bar will display your overall score in the game you played. For example, if your team won, but you didn't do so well, the blue bar will be small. If your team lost, but you performed the best, the red bar will be large.

Scoreboards and Carnage reports

1. No Kills and Deaths within non-slayer based games.
2. No medals rewarded for killing actions, in non-slayer based games.

The reason for these changes, are for the following reasons

1. Reduce the farm killers, who play an objective game, only for the KDR.
2. Allows players to better understand one's skill in games. You could have the best player in the world, ignored and believed to be the worst, all because he/she lost 7 games in a row, because their teammates were horrid in every way.

I tried to play a game of Grifball, and after a few matches of doing just that, one of my teams decided to build their KDR, by having their bomb carrier stay in a corner, and let time run out (they were discussing their plan via voice).

So I did the most honorable action, by killing my corner camping, KDR building, bomb carrying teammate(s), and placing that bomb in the goal to score. Of course they were pissed off (after doing it a few times), but that's what you get for not playing the objective.

If you have further ideas, feel free to comment.

Changes can still be made, regardless. And even on that website, I still have my total K/D being tracked. And total K/D is worse news, for people who play objective games, for the objective, and not for KDR.
