You can still see a player's kills. You just click on their name.

I still prefer to have a global view.

It's not PC to say that kills are the most important aspect of an FPS, but they are.

Bring it back.

It's not the MOST important thing on the scoreboard, but it was nice to see it at a glance.

It shouldnt be too dificult to add it to the existing scorecard, there is plenty of room on there, and it wont look cluttered.

I agree, bring it back. This is just some weird attempt to make people who can't get kills feel better and to put more emphasis on "score"

Kills, deaths, and kill:death ratio are least absolute least important scoring statistic in the existing game modes. They should be a side-effect of your ability to play the objective. They don't indicate skill, and they don't indicate who did better than someone else.

How about a column that reads Objectives that lists our Offense and Defense count? +_=

I personally don't care if its there or not. I think it was done to promote self-less objective play more than anything. If someone looks at the scoreboard and sees that their team's average kdr is about 1 but the other team is 2 then they are less likely to want to attack the objective but with the way it is set now it just shows score and captures.

However, it's not possible to do that during the match.

So, this game is a shooter, but KDR doesn't represent skill? Why are kills what makes up most of the score, then? Even if captures have their importance, it doesn't mean that kills are not relevant. I believe a person who has 15 kills and 0 capture contributes much more to his team than someone who'd have 3 captures but say, 2 kills.

Also, those who stay on the front and work their way to objectives are very likely to have the most kills. Since one's ability to push is the utmost important skill required to perform well at this game, and that the killcount is directly linked to this ability, I definitely recommend bringing it back to the scoreboard.

Furthermore, as Compassghost suggested, separate columns for offensive and defensive kills would be awesome.
