In TimeSplitters, a Loss is when a player dies, usually by having their health depleted.
Significance in the Games
Dying plays a very important role in TimeSplitters. When a player is killed by another player, in most Arcade modes the player who killed the player gets a point. In Elimination, losses are even more important than kills, as a loss makes the player lose a life. Losses are very bad in Story Mode, as a single loss will cause the player to either restart the mission, or restart from a checkpoint, which is usually far behind the player's progress.
Losses, like kills, are important in measuring the skill of a player. The more losses you have, the worse you are. It is especially ambarassing if you Kill/Loss Rate is low. In the worst cases, you die more often then you kill.

- All Deathmatch type modes (only if the scoring setting is Kills-Losses) - The loss of a point
- Elimination and Vampire - The loss of a life (in Vampire also the refilling of your bloodbar)
- Bag Games - Causes you to drop the bag (if your carrying it)
