I wish that Sony would track more stats than they due currently so that some things become more evident. Dicepoint has taken it about as far as you can go but support players are totally not represented there. If sony could keep track of the ammount of repairing, healing, hacking, and transporting you do in some way, this problem would be solved. I find it really annoying that I am only 4000 or so on the dicepoint board because my kills are low and my hacks are high. Fact of the matter is, almost all 700+ of my kills are with a repeater or a boomer as opposed to MAX suits, reavers, vanguards, lightnings or the like. It is a hell of a lot more difficult (and rewarding) to brazenly kill Darklight reinforced Heavy assault troopers with a pistol, than it is to run around as an AI MAX suit for instance. It does not take into consideration how you kill your enemy or what support activities you are responsible for. These are all equally as important to raw kill count
Anyone that snuck past dark light MAXs, turrets, mines, motion detectors and slips in for an extremely crafy difficult tower hack and gets absolutly no points or recognition for this knows what I am talking about.
Anyone that repairs the Base gens after defeating a squad trying to hold the room and take a base knows what I am talking about
Anyone that has spent 2 or 3 med packs reviving troops at the front of an assault wave helping keep it strong knows what I am talking about
However the Surging Agile Heavy assault/Special Assault grunts are reguarded as the best players since no other information is tracked. I think the dynamics of the game would be much more interesting and realistic if peeps thought they would get credit for support roles
