Black Ops: Opinion on changing account?

    Should I create a new account on xbox live? I've only had an xbox for around 3 months, and I have been playing on one account with a free month trial. On this GT (frankj15), I had been playing my first fps, Black ops, and got an amazing k/d of 0.30 :P
    This week I bought a 12 month sub to XBL, so I was thinking, should I make a fresh start with a new account plus a more exciting GT in order to get a better k/d? I could easily get a kd of 0.70 or more as I have improved a huge amount now.
    The only downsides would be losing my Friends on XBL and having to add them again, and my gamerscore (its only 445, but still).
    Opinions? Also write down ideas for a good GT if you can think of one, nothing that would get me banned though :pac:

    Honestly, the people that care about career KDs are the one who want you to care about their's.
    You have some guns unlocked and perks you are comfortable with, play it week by week and your KD will rise as you get better.

    Honestly, what sort of k/d could I get at the end of this games lifespan? I now normally get 0.7 of higher and I am getting better rapidly. I know it doesn't matter that much, but I no my current one doesn't represent what I'm like at this game.

    This is the problem with most kids playing this game , my k/d my k/d , if you dont care about your k/d then add the 12 months to your normal account , if you do care about it then make a new one .
    I dont look at my k/d just my w/l

    I actually like knowing my k/d though... Especially now as the TDM and other game types are separated in the rankings with weekly and all time stats. I also like the stats that I get on game types I mostly play like domination with how many captures/defends and points per min. I can see that I'm getting better as a player from CoD4-Blackops.

    OP if you're really worried about all of the stats and want them to be good, you should go for the new GT, otherwise, meh, effort of that :P

    Theres nothing wrong with knowing your k/d , whats wrong is worrying about it . Many times i have played hq or dom and you find people afraid to play the objective as it might interfere with their overall k/d

    Black ops has a weekly k/d option if that helps?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    i remember when I first started playing MW2, I was shocking. Rocking a .3 k/d for ages, but then I started to get better. A lot of the fun I got from that game early on was watching my k/d go up as I improved. The day I hit 1, I was delighted for myself. So while stats count for shít all, it's just a cool thing to see for yourself.

    Thanks for your replies guys, and ive decided to fúck it and use my old account :D dont really need a new one as i should put that k/d up quickly. I was playing on my brothers account and brought his k/d of 0.4 up to 0.5 in the last 5 days, so i think thats good progress :pac:
