A lot of kill stealing goes on, and it means you can use up a lot of clips and only get 2 kills for it, because someone with a better weapon finished them off after all the damage you did. This means you won't ever get enough points for a better weapon, and also will have trouble getting enough for ammo. Maybe a system where you get points for doing a certain amount of damage to a zombie. For zombies that give you lots of points, those points might be shared amongst the people who did enough damage to it.

Perhaps a feature where people who don't get many points during the round get more points at the end? Say if you get >10 points you'd get 15 or 20 when the round ends. Might make the game too easy though .

Feel free to code that feature ;D Uh, I'll get right on it.... They actually have a system like this in a mutator called Team Arena Mutator. You get a point for every 100 damage you do. I guess it's not so important, just annoying when Exo steals all your kills

If you turn off pre load player skins in the settings it loads up a lot faster, i got an instant 30-40% boost in level load times... even with my measely 512 megs of ram By the by Alex and crew: Fantastic mod, and inspiriring story about how it came to be... It actually gave me some motivation to keep working on my novel (Going with what you said about not having anoyne to talk to about your project... Its murder )

I'd just like to throw in my support for such a feature. Damage is logged every time you do damage to something, obviously, so it should be possible within the game engine to award points for that. Then, all you'd have to do is scale up the costs for everything.
