Team Fortress 2
What is your definition of a 'sucessful life' in TF2?
I don't mean like "My life is great because I have an unusual and controversial banana hat!", I mean like during a match, one life of the game, from when you spawn until you're killed.
Basically, what I mean is what goal do you have to hit before you can die but still feel acomplished. Do you have to get two or more kills? Maybe you feel the need to cap the point (when applicable) before you can consider yourself helpful? It's an unorthidox topic but one that I think might be interesting.

For me, I have a hard time ever taking a death lightly and always feel like I could have done better if only I had not walked right into that crocket, but the point between me feeling completely useless and me feeling like I could have done better probabbly lies with 'Halt the enemies progress for 30 seconds or more, or complete at least 1 goal of the objective'. Personally, I think of kills less like kills and more like I pushed this person back a long ways and they'll take a while to come back. Even then, I think that you can still halt the enemy without even getting a single kill, (Being a distractive scout, putting up a frightening-looking sentry, ect.) and you can still be technically worthwhile to the team.

Anywho, discuss! I'm very interested to hear what people think about this.

For me, it's pretty much any instance where I'm top scoring, or at least making a serious help in a push or wall of defense.

For me as my main main(1st main whatever you call it), it's slaying at least half the team or as my 2nd main, defending the point for as long as possible.

I actually don't have a goal, everytime I die I never feel acomplished

For me its whenever I feel I have been successful at defending/attacking. I don't concern myself with trying to have the best k/d etc I prefer to play the objective and actually win the round.

The most accomplished was just scouting in turbine, got all three caps and ruined the enemy teams day, anouther was joining into a random pub went scout and capped all points solo, my team was trying to catch up but at the end it was just soo awesome sixth sense ass beatery took out their whole team trying to stop me and still capped, was never able to do it again but it upped my benchmark.
