BF2S Forums "Positive K/D ratio" Am I the only one annoyed by this?

Every player in the game has a positive K/D ratio....

EVERYONE....Negative numbers are less then 0, not less then one. You would have to either have a negative amount of kills, or a negative amount of deaths for it to be positive...


I know what you mean....and yes its a very stupid thing to bitch about, but its just fingers on a chalk board to me for some reason...
Am I the only one lame enough to be annoyed by this?

Think everyone has their own anal annoyance.  Mine is when people say 24/7/365 when there aren't 365 weeks in a year, should be 24/7/52.

All KDRs average should be 1.000000000000000000000000000000

So, for every guy with a 2.0 kdr, there should be another one with 0.5 (or 2 with 0.75 etc.)

Except revived kills still count as kills, but not deaths, so your logic is flawed


and when we say positive kdr, most people mean positive kills - deaths, which happens to have a ratio of 1.

not everyone has a pos ratio. for it to be pos it has to be above 1.0, more kills then deaths!!!!!

Let say some one has 5 kills, and 20 deaths.
they have 5/20 Kills/deaths
Ratios are fractions, and if both the numorator and denominator are positive the ratio or fraction is positive.

In the example above he has .25 kills per each death, or a K/D ratio of .25

.25 is greater then zero, and so it is positive.

Zim, I don't care about my K/D, I only know its horrible from getting owned so much when I was new....Its more of an issue of semantics then game play...

The 24/7/365 is funny, very true, Ive never thought of that...

Paco, Yeah I get what most people are saying, like I said its just a random thing that bothers me.... But kdr is kill death ratio, and that ratio can never be negative.

umm no that would be negative, in the fraction then it wouldnt be zero it would be one,5 over 5 would be one so anything less then 5 would be a neg ratio.

Oh boy, let's try again slowly shall we...I'll speak slowly for you so you can catch it.
Any      real     number     greater     than     zero     (including    things    like   1/2,   1/3,   4/5,   1,   2, etc.) is    a    positive    number.   That    means    a   kdr    of     0.anything    is    still     positive    .

I know that many ancient civilisations took a long time to discover / understand the concept of negatives and the null (zero) number, so I'd estimate that you are only about 2000-3000 years behind the rest of the world.
