The old scoreboard
Please bring back the old scoreboard showing kills, deaths, score, ping etc of all people in the server. The new one is too messy, unclear and doesn't show me useful information or just too little in...

@Terminator000001 I think you haven't been playing a lot of competitive games like BF. The whole teamplay aspect of BF doesn't work. The old sacoreboard clearly shows, even if i have 5 kills and 40 deaths, i can still be in the top 5 because i revived a lot, i captured a lot. I was never a top kill ratio player. But still you felt some sense of accomplishment at the end. 2042 is exactly the opposite. That busy clunky squad screen makes no sense. Its designed to hide players real performance because they know: BF games are hard at first. People get frustrated and leave. I have done this. BF 1 i couldn't do *. So I stopped playing for a while.
Dice's excuse is to have 'more fun' but half the fun is to strife to be a better team player and 2042 encourages not any of it. This is also why GLOBAL CHAT is missing. So now instead of taunting your enemy which totally makes sense, people on your town team talk *. They are trying to cancel "video game bullies" which is ridiculous because * talk is part of the game. I've * talked already during the Quake years in 1996 and it was never a problem.
As 2042 is right now, its sorta a FFA game with team elements thrown in. When you think about it, it all makes sense.

I play video games for more than 20 years and I actually always hated how scoreboards, we used to have, always were, because they promoted everything that defines egoistic gameplay. Having a terrible K/D but tons of heals, revives and ammo given is just some band aid for yourself and nothing more. It doesn't help me to feel better if my 200 revives and heals were made in a chokepoint in Operation Metro or anything equally to that situation.
In my eyes, a scoreboard like this is a step in the right direction. Now they just need to buff points for teamplay and PTFO and nerf points for kills. So people would finally start to play in a team in this wannabe Call of Duty.
- @Terminator000001 sorry, I disagree. The whole point is, you can make it to the top which killing a lot of people. Which proves: You did a lot of team work.
Its beyond me how any one say this SB is going "in the right direction". I simply think, you dont like competitive games and just wanna have "fun" ( I mean its all supposed to be fun but BF always was a bit competitive). - @Buzzfunk Competitive games stopped being interesting, when people abused the * out of the tiniest exploit they could find. And let it be just set the graphics to the lowest setting possible.
That's why I don't take those people serious even an inch. - @Terminator000001 you remove the scoreboard , you will quit this game guaranteed by the end of December. The cheaters will be hidden. Hey we can spectate them, no we cant because thats missing also.
- @Terminator000001 Again, you playing these games just for fun but not to win a match? I think what youre saying makes zero sense.
The easiest solution: Give people options. Don't wanna see you're stats ala old BF scoreboard? Dont look at it. Wanna know your squad score instead? Sure. That way, everyone is happy.
BTW This isn't a new feature request. EVERY BF game had one. And this entire discussion on the board could have been spared if one of the Dice COMMUNITY managers would actually, manage. What im saying - im not against changing things but why not give people options? Esp with core elements that were part of the franchise since the first BF. Because nowdays....everybody is a winner. Why hurt some kids feelings when he notices that he is absolutely terrible at the game. The new lack of scoreboard lets camping snipers know that their complete lack of contribution to the game should not be punished by their low rank on the scoreboard.
Those people that preorder any game should not be upset or angry at EA or Dice.......Learn from this!
