Was playing on silent cartographer a few nights ago on legendary with 4 skulls, on competitive score mode and about 20 minutes into the game my score was depleting at about 100 points per 5-10 seconds. Just wondering if this was a bug or a normal function? Has this happened to anyone else?
most likely that is the competitive scoring functionality.
Was killing enemies still warranting you points and did this depletion slow down after you got a kill?
No the depletion seemed to stay at the same steady pace after I got to the halfway point of the level, I kept getting normal score from killing enemy’s but the points were going down much faster then I was gaining them, I didn’t realize it at first. Hadn’t died was at about 40k points and a few minutes later had dropped down to 34k. Even with getting steady kills I drops all the way down to 20k before reaching the end of the level, I got a little frustrated and quit early because this has not happened to me in the past even playing on competitive score. I’m going to try again tonight to see if I get the same results.
once you have gotten past your par time, the score starts depleting. this is to keep players from taking their sweet time on missions, and, as much as I hate the function, speeds things along.
For example I was playing the Halo 3 level Halo on MCC. I was going for the par score (40K) so I could get the Platinum Gravity Hammer Nameplate. After about 20 minutes-which I believe is par time for that mission-the score started rapidly depleting. I had just gotten to that warthog run. Thankfully, the Arbiter was in the turret and had aimbot, and was able to kill tons of sentinels and flood to make up for my lost points. I managed to finish with 41K and got the Platinum Gravity Hammer Nameplate.
