as i said people always play that way as long as there is a score board
honestly some of us like the sats just to see how we stack up, that dosen't mean our game play is based on it :roll:

The scoreboard and the stats are two seperate things... if you're high on the scoreboard in-game, it means you're good and you're doing good for the team... if you're higly ranked with the stats, it doesn't mean shit. If you have two people of equal skill, and you have one person playing a lot of TF2, and the other playing not so much TF2, you'll see the person who plays a lot more ranked a lot higher.

That's another problem these stats bring. Not only does it screw with the game, the stats aren't accurate at all. If you play a lot and play carefully so you don't die often, you'll gain points in the rankings very quickly. Hlstatsx is flawed. The in-game scoreboard is actually useful. The stats aren't.
