(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I took my friends list and went to the score leaderboard.
I divided our scores by the hours played and got our score per hour average.
It raised a lot of questions about K/D ratio, win/lose, and score.
It seemed as good a method as any, if score is the result of good playing?

i think it also depends on what they are playing.. you get more points for certain game modes.. also i don't think the match bonus adds to the leaderboard score..

you need to see what there highest killstreak is my friends highest killstreak was 75 on team deathmatch wtf!?!

You have to play with a player to see how good they are. I have friends who have really high killstreaks and ratios but are completely useless. If I'm playing domination I want someone who is going to run there bollocks off going for flags and being a general pain in the arse to the other team. It's all about how good they are at working as a team and winning the game. High stats do nothing but give people a big head.

can't really go on that.. most people camp and hide with claymores and OMA/scavenger to get a high killstreak.. also if you're saying your friend got 75.. most likely he boosted since that's the finishing score of TDM.. unless he's playing groundwar.. if not then i doubt that no one else on his team got a single kill..

Highest killstreak can't be a true measurement when the leaderboards are full of 200 or more killstreaks.
Always playing the same game mode could effect your score avg.
It was never clear to me the differences between XP and score

aucally Ive just checked the leader boards on Xboxlive and he has a 78 killstreak and i think it is from ground war. Fun but takes forever!!!

This. You really have to play with someone to get a feel of how good they are. It also depends on their style of play. In my opinion, a rusher and sniper with a 1.9 k/d is MUCH better than a major camper with a 2.5 k/d.

It all really depends on your definition of what being a good player actually means. Your definition could be someone who sits in a corner and gets a ridiculously high k/d ratio. It could also be someone who plays only for the objective, has an extremely high score, but has a k/d of .75.

My definition of a good player is someone who maintains a decent k/d, plays for the objectives somewhat, and most importantly: Has Fun

I want to withdraw my earlier post, a good player is anyone who wasn't on the team I just had...

Every time I play a team game in mw2, that is what I get.
