MVP shouldn't be reserved for the same 4-5 people who know how to rack up kills/points anymore IMO. I'd suggest squad leaders/officers in general nominate people who either did significantly well over a period of time compared to what was expected of them and be chosen, so it's not always "Oh, great, the guy from VbD//Legacy is MVP again". Stats are fine, but with the way MVP has always been done, we're actively awarding those who play like complete killjoys.
Just a thought. If sticking to the old, ka/d can't really be beat.
