Re: Why is K/D so highly reagrded in BF? It's NOT the ONLY Team STAT...

@psylentrage76 It's true, K/D is so overrated in BF. I think Bad Company is the only game I have a positive K/D in. It typically hovers around .8 or so. Capping flags is arguably the most important thing, and you get more points doing it. I get MVP a lot mostly because I'm always aggressive about capping flags.

Other roles are important, but I do think DICE has watered that part down over the years. In their chase of COD, things did get more run n gun focused. The PC only titles like BF2 and BF2142 were better at emphasizing support roles.

    K/D is a fairly useless general measuring device in a game with vehicles and artillery call-ins (and revives).

    Still, K/D is a good tool for self-evaluation of how you are evolving as a player in general. Other stats are also important and usefull, but those also depend on the game modes one plays - as does the K/D.

    You can get an MVP as a support on conquest pretty much by just going around the map building up every single entrenchment you can find. Is that really being the MVP though if you are not actually helping the team capture flags and you are even making it more difficult to recapture flags because they are fully fortified?!

    So, it's in the eye of the beholder how much value you place on your K/D, but it still remains the quickest way to evaluate the perceived skill of a player in a FPS.
