Personally, I love stats .. and I pride myself on my 2.5 Kill-Death ratio. At the end of the day, I am usually on top with the most kills. While I may not be the guy running into the objective and dieing, I am certainly always pulling my weight by making enemies dead and clearing the way for my team.
Sniping in the uncap is one thing, but successfully sitting off to the side and unleashing chaos is another.
Don't mind me, but I'm going to take this time to gloat a little..
(All different rounds)
Try not to be bothered by my obsession with stats. It's been a sickness since I can first remember playing an online FPS with any form of stats. x_x
The way I look at it - If we have the upper hand, I will camp and be a killing machine, but trust me, when my team is pinned down in our uncap or not capable of advancing, I do try and get my team out of the hole, usually by attempting to flank. (Thankfully, BF3's more open maps should allow for better flanking). The people who run straight out and have a 5-20 k/d score at the end of the round aren't helping the team any besides depleting tickets.
It really is a highly debatable subject, as a "real-life" friend I used to game with was always a medic and objective-go-getter. He would end rounds with a .5 KD but truly help our team win .. in fact, back in COD4 Leagues, he was a wonderful teammate to have that allowed us to go 72 win to 15 losses. Both me and him are on total opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to how we play games, but together, we used to kick some serious fanny!
So yeah, I can understand PTFO, but I'll be off in the corner supporting the PTFO supporters.
