kill/death ratio

frankie2shoes

I've got a kill/death ratio of 0.93 (8100ish kills versus 8800ish deaths).
Is this a decent kill/death ratio or am I sh*ite? really enjoy playing but am curious as to my level of competency. I rarely camp, NEVER boost, and am not a sniper and wonder are those high stats I see from other players are awesome players or dirty, no good boostin' pri*ks!!

paulelectronica

better ratio than mine , ive a ratio of .27 4000 kills and over 15000 deaths

frankie2shoes

I never checked til recently. k/d ratio is definitely on the up. As more weapons are unlocked and maps memorized, your ratio is bound to improve.....

paulelectronica

im on my second prestige at the moment

Honestly it's impossible to judge your "level of competency" by KDR alone...you could be a fella who plays Sabotage all the time and camps by the flag picking up easy kills for 20 mins and have a KDR of 5.0+... does that make you a good or "competent" player... on the opposite side you could be the player who runs around capping flags in Domination or running with the bomb in Sabotage (trying to actually win a game)...your bound to die more often than not and your KDR will certainly suffer big time...but does that mean your a bad player...

Basically don't pay any attention to somebodies KDR.. it's not a gauge of "competence"...I.M.H.O.:p

bmw535d

1.73 i think

krudler

I dont rate KDR as an indication of how good a player you are at all, mines 1.10, i suicide a lot to change classes to my anti air class so thats not helping (if suicides count towards deaths, i presume they do), but that doesnt make me a bad player, if anything being a good team player means you'll suffer in your kdr due to putting yourself at risk to shoot down air support and the like. Look at wings of redemption, he bitches when people who dont have an above 2.00 kdr try to play with him, yet he spends the majority of his games sitting in one spot with a claymore, not capping flags or helping the team in any way aside from racking up his killstreaks. sorry but I'd take a guy with a crappy kdr who actually does what the team is meant to over someone who has a sky high one and only looks out for himself in games.

Leeg17

1.07, not too bothered about it. As with Krudler I suicide alot to take out air support. Playing objective games like Domination, Sabotage etc I focus mostly on the objective and worry about my kdr in games like TDM, MTDM and FFA.

krudler

Thats why we need shotguns as a primary if I could have the SPAS and a stinger I wouldnt have to suicide

Magill

1.6ish or something, doesn't really mean anything imo, i **** about ingame ALOT ! When i put my try hard face on i will almost always go 3/4kills+ per death. Wouldnt worry too much about it tbh.

Even win/loss ratio is crap imo, when you play alone games are very random, and you will lose loads, ****, i joined a game of ground war yesterday midway though, my team was getting battered by airsupport, so i quit, requed, only to get into the same game ! 3 times in a row !!

Leeg17

Exactly Krudler!

I have stinger and CB pro on my 6th class, and I'm always chopping and changing the primary, none of that malarky with a Spas, beast at short and a decent meduim range. Currently it's RPD with Grip for the "Boom Headshot" title, but I'm at 13/25 headshots lol. Gimme a ump anyday.

I did this on a domination ground war on Favela, was thrown back into the same game only on the opposite team, so we won, yay

parabola_89

Currently have a KDR of just over 1.00. About 12000 kills and 11500 deaths, give or take a few on each figure.

I've only really played Mercenary TDM since I got the game in January though, so maybe I've handicapped myself in that respect. A lot of people playing that aren't what you'd call competent but they certainly have a unique habit of sticking you with a knife just before you get a decent killstreak reward!

craze7

1.79 but i let my friends play on my profile if there over and i play drunk its only that high because i used to be a try hard, now i just act the bollox!

wilford

Mine is at 1.16 was up at 1.28 until upc decided to start upgrading my area,never had more than 2 bars the last 3 weeks,something that does puzzle me though is your win ratio,I'm at .99 was at 1.07,2006 wins 2021 losses I was 45 wins up at 1.07 yet my m8 was only 34 wins up and he was at 1.23,just another quirk of the leaderboards I presume.

iMuse

Kill/Death ratio is only relevant to people who play game modes where the only objective is to kill (TDM, Free for all) Whereas if you play objective game types capping flags, planting bombs is much more important. If only they could have an "objective ratio" where your flags capped are compared with the amount of domination matches you have played etc

Finical

1.60 would be more blah blah blah etc but ****e teams and the sort.

K/D means nothing imo anyways. Win/Loss ratio would be better to judge a player but I play solo a lot and stuck with them young ones failing at sniping damages mine oh well.

Kev_ps3

Think its around 2.78, used to be 3.33 but Ive started not to care about dieing in the past few months. Win ratio is 2.24, its high but I usually play in a party of 6 good players and dominate the game.

Shammy

Funny thing for me , when i played tdm my k/d went up to 2.0 but i tended to lose most games .... go figure .

Went back playing objective games and my k/d is now at 1.7 something but i usually win most games.

brian plank

up to 2.22 but my win/loss is only 0.70. the advantage and disadvantage of always playing alone.

Nuri Sahin

K/D's range from 2.26 to 2.87. I really couldn't give a flying **** anymore so long as I win.

Washington Irving

1.19 on my saulgoode9 account, but I rarely use it for COD anymore.
On my JD-Quench_ account its 0.61

paulelectronica

Im just terrible at the game , ive had a few games where I have died 51 times and only killed 4

Scody94

1.37 not bad

TaytoCrisps

1.14 k/d ratio 24k kills and about 21k deaths, 4k headshots , .89 win/loss ratio . 18.41% accuracy and dropping every day !

Jev/N

1.18 with about 40k kills, it's very hard to move my stats by .01 these days as the killcount is so high, any good games make only a small dent.

I like going for challenges and messing around with stupid set-ups which doesn't help!

shawpower

1.37 k:d and 1.17w/l

Since I've been playing with Boardsies, that w/l has gone up, but my k:d has dropped a little. (It was 1.4)

I've about 27,000 kills and about 20,000 deaths. I used to worry about it, but now I just go out to win the game and try to get some killstreaks. If I'm having a bad game I'll break even, if I'm doing well, I'll go strongly positive. But I worry more about gettign through the levels and prestiging so I'm constantly using different weapons to get the unlocks. I remember one game of domination recently I was using the ACOG on the p90 in Skidrow. I just stayed around the B flag and kept picking up kills. I finished the challenge in one game, getting 24:18 or something. I didn't care that it hurt my k:d as we won the game and I got a crap load of kills with the P90.

If you're really worried about it, I'd suggest playing FFA a lot, as I found that was where I "boosted" it quickest as I ended up usually beating 2:1 ratio at very worst in those games, but a 30:3/4/5 will really help when you get those games. Out of interest, when you play do you get 4 green bars often? If not, it could be down to this more than anything.

gimli2112

Had it at 1.28 for ages but it dropped to 1.26 since last prestige. Highest was 1.29 (I play drunk too much to ever get it much higher) Started off at 0.6 but after about 1000 kills things started getting better. 26450 kills 21000 deaths W/L is 0.84

When you get put in a match just as it ends in defeat does that count as a loss? It seems to happen an awful lot to me?

I'm 99.9% sure it does unfortunately. Happens to me all to often as well especially in TDM.

EDIT - this is like that 100000000000th time give or take I reckon, we've had to a K/D/stats thread.

raheny red

Finally got it positive. 1.01 49863 kills and 48972 deaths.

Le King

1.56.

Used to be around 1.4~.

But I've been getting better at the game.

I don't really care for it tho.

sierra117x

1.55

alanEire89

mines 1.54, it was 0.86 untill I started to care bout k/d

in my opinion higher k/d = better player

COUCH WARRIOR

win/loss 1.04 k/d 1.25

only play tdm and have never had 4 green bars as i live miles away from the telephone exchange out in the sticks:(

Et Cetera

1.00 just now, ~2400 . A mate of mine is on 2.01 with 40000 kills!

jugger0

2.18 would be higher but i refuse to use anything but the intervention at this stage, unless the boosters manage to call in air support, then ill switch to shoot it down.

Dont think it matters that much, usually a player with a high k/d will be better then someone who is lower.. presuming they dont boost or camp.

What a stupid statement. People who play objective games may not have a great K/D because they're busy trying to play the actual game of planting/defusing or whatever it might be.

People who play TDM and have a high K/D is a sign of a good player.

I know alot of people with high K/D, 2-3 + that are alot worse than me and other friends with similar K/D's to myself.

Again this is because most of the time i play to win, not to have a high K/D, so yeah they might finnish a game with 20 kills and 2 deaths, whereas i'd finish with 60 kills and 20 deaths, have 4k points and my team wins. I think everyone knows whos the better player in this situation.

Another example, i was playing demolation on skidrow by myself yesterday. My team were all newish to the game.. or at least didn't have a clue how to play demo. The other team were just sitting back picking everyone off, first half (As offensive) I ended with a score of 8-20ish... but we won, because i was constantly trying to plant. Second half we won aswel, I finnished on a negative score of 30-32ish. The other team were all on positive K/D's.... again.. who is the better player in this situation ?

K/D = NOTHING in a team based game.

MTDM and TDM are opposite though, higher K/D ratio players are generally better seeing as they are scoring more points whilst giving away less points.

My own K/D is @ 1.58, been climbing for months from 1.21 an still on the up, just so hard move it these days seeing as I'm above 40k kills.

True but again, not very many people play TDM/FFA only. And again, those gametype dont always show whos the better player, just who can camp the best. I just run around trying to kill people in TDM(Because traditionally.... thats how deathmatch is suppose to be played) and because a camper can sit back and get 10 kills without dying makes him a more skilled player ? Not imo. Yeah he might contribute more to his team, but any handiwhopper can camp with claymores and get a high K/D... i still wouldn't consider them good players.

I suppose K/D needs to be viewed in context of play style then.
Always exceptions to the rule though, if I am in MTDM and a guy finishes 30 something to 10 something I would bet money he's not a camper, it'd be very hard belive 30 folks came back for revenge kills (on consideration the majority of his kills were gained from killstreaks "earned" from camping too)

Nuri Sahin

Gonna throw this out there and I've made my feelings on the game type very clear before.

Domination is all about K/D. That video Shammy(?) posted with the clan capturing 3 flags was a needle in a haystack vid/game.

I know a ton of players with good K/D's but play Domination mainly and the objective for them is to spawn trap and simply boost their K/D or get nukes. Nothing more. Nothing less. Vast majority of people who play Dom are like that. Most will try to sugar coat it though from what I've heard and seen.

As bad as people like to claim FFA and TDM are, Dom is right up there as well.
At least TDM and FFA are meant to be all about the kills.

I'm usually the only one(if own my own and not in party) trying to capture 3 flags, though that's rare as tbf I try to avoid Dom as much as possible.

Sabotage at times borders on this as well and I'm a massive Sabo fan, again as seen by previous comments.

Mysterious Man

I've people on my friends list that have a lower K/D than me and i'd say they are on a par/ if not better than me at the game.

My k/d is around 1.3 which is good considering i play Domination and Demolition a lot.

why would you want to capture all 3 flags and have the other team spawn behind you? anyone who knows how to play domination will take 2, spawn trap the other team and end the game with a win and usually a good few kills. taking the third flag or even pushing too far forward is bad play imo.

Exactly, it just proves that K/D is only useful for showing whos actually really bad at the game, other than that you cant tell whos actually a skilled player.

The whole objective of Domination in FPS games was to capture all 3 flags and thus dominate.

Do you really think Domination was designed for spawn trapping only!?

Capturing the flag is now a chore, it must be done but people don't really want to be the one capturing it. I'm the one usually staying back and capturing A or C while others take their positions to get kills.. not capture B.

Shammy's(might have been shawpower now I think of it) vid was one in 100 if not 1000 game. 6 lads all wanting to capture the flags and entirely play the objective. That's the way it's meant to be played.

I rather win the game quickly. The good thing about the lads here I play with, they are the same and kudos to them.

Repeating myself here I know, but domination is for the vast majority of players who have their head stuck up their arse looking for a nuke/improving K/D. Most people will deny it, but frankly that's a load of BS.

If I played Domination like many people I know as well as put in the amount of time put into it, my K/D would be easily 5 at the least.

I just find it all hilarious that people who bash TDM and FFA play Dom.
