Was just thumbing thru some posts over at xbox.com and ran across one that got me thinking. What do assists mean to you? I always figured assists to be when you put a bullet or two in to a sumbuck then a teammate finishes him off. Or another sceneario is when capturing an objective theres two or more of ya on it or....well you get the idea. Anyways the whole thread got jacked into a bunch of whiny ass biatches complaining bout kill stealing. Which brings me to my question......How the hell do you steal a kill in a team based game? I mean as long as the enemy dies and the points go toward the team total does it really matter WHO gets the kill? Anyway peeps have a good Sunday!!

I look at assists like I couldnt quite close the deal on that one. I dunno what average is, but I'm about 10% of my kill total is what my assists are. So 1 out of 10 I start and someone else finishes off.

In the team games, it doesn't bother me because the points all stay in the family. When doing a free for all, that gets a little tiresome. But I know that I've probably poached a kill or two in my time.

The concept of kill stealing is stupid. Are you supposed to recognize one of your team is shooting an an enemy, and then not shoot at that enemy? BS. The instance dudes seem to whine the most about is when they drop an enemy into last stand, and I come by and finish them off before they can. As far as I'm concerned, if an enemy can shoot at me, even on his back, he is fair game.

Agreed, In a team game, assists should be a HUGE number. A good team does a lot of team shooting, as well as assists in the form of callouts to help others get their jobs done(no way to track those though) The children complaining about kill stealing aren't doing anything but playing FFA slayer in a team playlist.

Agreed with everyone here. I get very few kills, but lots of assists. Most of the time I suck so much I can only put a bullet or two in a guy before he's gone (or I'm dead). Frankly: "steal" my kills go for it. It's a team based game, so who cares? That being said: the fact that your weapons rank up based on kills sort of diverts from taht line of thought....
