Suicide (Concept)

Suicide

CONCEPT

The act of taking one's own life.

Overview

Suicide is the intentional act of bringing about one's own death. In a story-based game, this may be the result of horrible pain or fear, or simply preferring death to capture, as was the case with Call of Duty 4's Victor Zakhaev (Character). In a deathmatch environment, suicide is considered any action by which the player brings about his or her own death, either intentional or accidental. This may include blowing oneself with a rocket or similar explosive that causes splash damage or falling into a bottomless pit or other trap without being pushed by another player's weapon. In most deathmatch games, a suicide will result in a point deduction, usually one point for each suicide. For example, a player with 38 kills but 10 suicides will only have 28 points by match's end. In a team deathmatch environment, suicides may also be counted against the team's score in addition to that of the player. As such, it is obviously frowned upon to commit suicide often.
