Subject: Why Care About your K/D

Ok I got a KD of 0.90 Do I care nope? Why you ask because I like having FUN I Can see playing this game when All I care about is how many times I Die or Kill Its all about having fun. IMO When you care about KD so much let alone someone else your a try hard. K/D Says nothing of a person at all. I play to have fun.

Im tired of people throwing K/D in your Face like hahaha your a 0.79 your bad? No he is not bad he likes to play the game and have fun and allot of people with K/D like that mostly play adjective games. And when I see people with high K/D all they play is Adjective games and not care about what the game really has like CTF and does not go for the flag but he grabs sniper and camps in the Very back and end up with 50 kills or so and thinks he is good with a K/D of 1.78.

No that does not make you go when you do that it makes you not a team player.

Just wanted to put out there that K/D Really is just a number that means nothing.

Your definition of fun is different from mine. Simple as that.

Now quit making pointless topics before you get banned again

I only care about my K/D ratio because it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I raise it higher; I don't judge others by their K/D ratio though.

if you think playing for fun is an excuse for having a negative k/d you're retarded.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

So you're argument for having a poor k/d is you play "adjective games"...well i play OBJECTIVE games, have a positive W/L ratio and a k/d higher than 2. Oh, and I play this game for fun too...

Your argument is invalid.

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

It's funny because players who are bad (you, OP, with the .89) incessantly scream, "KD doesn't matter!!!!" I searched over 200 games as a random in TS many months back when i was below Lt. Colonel, and I managed a 1.47. If you're a Nova with that much playtime you should definitely be above that.

Based on campaigns.

TBH i dont really care that much about it. I think I am reasonably good at the game but everyone here is like 'n0pe UR BAD KID'. I have a low KD because I have been playing bad for a lot longer than Ive been playing good, so of course my KD isnt going to recover just like that.

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

I think this is what OP is trying to get across. Why do people take the game so seriously, and care about K/D so much? Why do people rage, complain, and -blam!- on their teammates when they do bad?

So, why do you rage, complain, and -blam!- on your teammates when they suck?

IF you play fairly, that is, no boosting or stat padding, then your KD should be a fair indicator of how much of an asset you are and how skilled you are as a player.

If you are actually TRYING to play and your KD is under 1, then you need to put down the AR, get out of Living Dead, and start practicing.

But what if playing living dead and spraying his AR is fun for the OP?

Well TBH i consider myself fairly good at the game its just that Ive only been playing good for a short while. For months before that I was terrible and I sent my KD way down hill. Only now is it starting to go up but it is still low from when I was terrible.

This may come as a surprise, but those are EASY playlists (Living Dead and TS AR starts). If you go negative in either you need to improve.

I'm no try-hard like a lot of the players on these forums, but at least I can hold my own and do well most games.

Your opinion is invalid.

Everyone plays for fun. If your K/D is below 1 then you just happen to be bad at the game while you play for fun.
