The simple solution to that is that kills earned in objective game types don't count towards your KDR.  KDR should only be made up of kills from FFA and TDM where that matters most... maybe KC too

Agreed.

My stats follow as such for domination.

K/D 1.73 Captures 6,235 Defends 5,020 in 1,796

That averages to 3 captures and 2.8 defends a game.

Objective player?

Anyone want to contest that?

It bothers me when people sit w/ one flag and go for kills.

YOU NEED AT LEAST TO FLAGS TO WIN.

My gamertag is "DopHop" if you want to check stats.

My whole opinion on it, is you can slay and still capture flags.

Camping for your AC-130 Osprey Gunner or Reaper when they

get shot down and don't help, you are a hindrance to your team.

I agree with you about kill whores in Dom, HQ, etcetera, but if a guy MOABs in KC and the team loses I don't think he can be blamed solely although I do think everyone SHOULD pick up some tags...

Also FFA is not for KDR, only TDM is...

In TDM the Positive KDR team WIN and the Negative KDR team lose...

In FFA the first player to 30 kills WINS, regardless of how many deaths he has taken. You can win a FFA with a negative KDR...

i believe they should completely remove K/D from ALL matches except for non-objective matches. the K/D is too much of a distraction in objective modes because people see the extended time they dont get in FFA or TDM and think that is an excuse to inflate their kills and not bother with objectives.

I'll tell you what. If you can guarantee that I'll get one or two decent random players in my team, I'll go for the objective more often. I play for the objective when I can acually get the objective, not when I'm guaranteed to die trying.

Flogging that horse won't resurrect it.

One of the most annoying game modes for this is Sabotage. Everyone wants to play it like its a 20 minute tdm. I have been in many many games where i will be the only one bringing the bomb to the target,while my team sits back and watches me die,only to grab the bomb and and run away from the target to hide in a building with it.Just to farm more kills.And if somehow you manage to get the bomb and plant it,your team just quits out,making it easy for the other team to defuse and go plant and win.Which they are more than happy to do,after being killfarmed for most of the match.

The best option is to just remove k/d stats from all objective modes. Other games,such as Uncharted 3 have done this and it does make a difference in the amount of people who play the objective.

TDM and FFA,possibly KC should be only modes that increase or decrease your k/d ratio.

I know you can still win in ffa and kc with a negative k/d,but kills is still pretty much the basis for those modes.

I personally grab as many tags as i can while playing KC whne not palying with my clan. I however have stopped collecting them while playing with my clan due to the fact i am done leveling and I save those points for clan mates that still are progressing.

Sorry to burst your bubble but not everyone that plays the game cares about winning all the time. W/L has less meaning to a very large portion of the players that play the game. Winning is not everything.

Even removing the stats will not change how some people play, nor will it cause more communication or more trying for the win just because you think it will. Some do just play for fun and their fun might be just to kill players and not care about the win or stats at all.

This is why I refuse to play with randoms anymore. I havent rolled solo since WAW. COD is so much more enjoyable in a party.

Get ready for league play in BLOPS 2. Players will have to play the objective in that because you need to win to rank up.

Story. of. my. life

Do you guys know the ACTUAL way to stop all this KDR bullshit..?

It's really quite simple.

All IW/Treyarch have to do is to get rid of KDR full stop. So don't show how many kills you've earned totally, don't show how many deaths you've had totally. So no one will know, and thus, no one will care.

But of course, they should keep WLR to show how good you are at winning  games.

This is the exact reason why I stopped playing objectives in COD. As a matter of fact, I havent played any objective matches consistantly since MW2. Now on MW3 I have played a fair share of objective modes, but I have not played them as much as I have played HCTDM. And the main reason for that is because of what the OP is saying, people DONT play the objectives much anymore.

I got rid of this game to get BO2 and I probably wont get it back until it is cheaper. I dont think I would find it any different than when I left it. The maps are something to hate, there are hardly if not any maps worth using a sniper rifle on and the camping is just plain horrendous.

And for those who say to "play in a party", I really dont think you guys realize how much the term its easier said than done applies here. First you have the fact that many people on our friends list dont even have the game and if they do, they dont want to play it because of th BS. Then you have the fact that most randoms you play with wont want to play in a party. It is not that easy to just "get a party".
