    I play TDM only. KDR is important to me simply because the higher KDR, the more I have helped my team. I typically see it as a measuring stick yes, but I usually care more about my W/L ratio. It is more fun to improve that over the span of the game than KDR, especially when I usually play in PUGs.

    Playing video games since 1988!

    Well as a whole in previous CoDs I only played TDM so to me k/d was important. Nowadays I really don't care too much about it. I guess with each new game the whole "stats are life" thing gets older and older.

    One persons good stats may not mean they are better than another player with worse stats cause so many factors/varibles play a role in this game compared to others.

    I almost always play TDM and KDR is the biggest measure of how good a player is in my opinion.  However, you can't simply look at KDR to make your judgement.  I just bought Black Ops 2 but haven't played it yet but in MW3 my KDR is 1.78.  However, all I do is run around the entire time looking for people.  I'm just as likely to go 20-18 as I am to go 35-5. 

    As soon as I enter the lobby, I check everyone's KDR.  I make a mental note of anyone over 2.0 and pay careful attention to how they play.  If they run around and win gunfights, they're pretty damn good and deserve the COD respect.  If they sit in a corner all match, their KDR is fake and it's not a true measure of their ability.

    The other thing I notice is the fake KDR guys who camp all match will leave in the middle of the round as soon as your start owning them...further proving they're fake.

    Personally the K/D ratio is just about the only thing I look at. To me it's like this, what's the point of getting 20 kills in a round, if you die 30-40 times trying to get those kills. The only thing that shows, is how much you suck at playing the game. Keeping my K/D ratio above 1 and not resorting to the easiest way to get a kill to keep it that way is how I play.

    This is absolutely true. I put my life on the line to get domination points all the time and my KDR goes down. Wouldn't that be cool to keep KDR separate for each type of match you are playing?

    But KDR does matter a lot in TDM. Sure, who cares if you camp, but the fact of the matter is if you have a KDR over 1, you are netting some benefit for your team on average, and that's essentially what matters. If you are usually a 10/7 player, you aren't doing stellar, but if your whole team is ranging in that type of ratio, then you are doing pretty good, since a team of 6 only requires each player to have 12 to 13 kills each. And as long as the average KDR of your team is over 1, then you win.

    LOL!!! My k/d is currently 0.31 and has never, never been higher than 0.50 in ANY COD game I have played!! I'm that guy that shoots down every UAV, counter UAV, heli and anything else my launcher will target. I run around like a madman drawing fire so my teammates can located the other side. On a good day I am NOT in last place, normally I have like 3 kills to 20 deaths...lol. My internet connection sucks, my skills suck, but I don't know of anyone who has more FUN than I do!!

    KD ratio should be a factor in what matters because if you get 1 kill and die 100 times you are still hurting your team's chances, no matter how many flags you capture or domination points you get. Giving the opposing team streak points by dying so many times can possibly lead to your team's loss. So I think that the best option is trying to maintain a KD of .75 or above, while you run around shooting down UAVs or aircrafts, and capturing flags, etc. I usually have a KD between 1.5-2.0, but I don't camp because it would be like playing S&D which is terrible and a waste of time. I play to win.

    My being 52 years of age has a lot to do with my skills. You may find out one day.

    It does but it doesnt. I dont live and breath by my k/d but if I just keep dying over and over its not fun. I think its a balance but different strokes for different folks. You have fun how you have fun I guess.
