classic score system gone, good or bad?

FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL FROM THE VIDOC: Halo’s new score system will be based on the call of duty score system, each kill will be worth points, and so will assists and headshots etc. assist= 5, headshot=5

this is only what ive gathered from the video!

what do you think??

Not sure how I feel on that one just yet. But it’s not something I felt needed a change.

Bad bad bad. This will make team slayer games less like team slayer games. In slayer, the main objective and only objective is to have more kills than your opponent. With a wacky scoring system, you could possibly lose a slayer game while having more kills. That would be a big fail…

Probably just a game type.

I’m sure we’ll be able to have settings for both strictly kill-based scoring systems and objective/point-based scoring systems. Personally, it’s a welcome addition for me.

> Probably just a game type.

Hopefully. As a gametype that could be voted on in playlists I’m alright with this. As the new standard for all Slayer matches? Not at all.

I don’t think we can judge anything as definite until we hear a direct statement from 343…but I’m at least interested in the idea.

It would be nice to be at least glad you got an assist, instead of being annoyed by it.

I hope it is just a game type. If its not then it would ruin the normal feel of Halo games.

I like that it rewards you for getting medals, but I’m fairly neutral about it.

well so far im not very happy as this game is going towards call of duty’s style

-weapon perks means no one is going to start even
-weapon locators: kinda stupid
-its not a game type as it says “br slayer” which is just slayer with the br. so thats probably the default

If it is just a gametype it could be interesting, especially if they allocate the points well, according to the skill required to to get each medal. It would be fun to be rewarded for going on a frenzy other than just the 10 kills you got.

If it is the main scoring system, I will not buy H4.

I have a feeling it ties into the progression system.

This is not the final product, what makes you think it will be like that? And even if it was, it’s not that big of a deal.

WAT IF THEY HAD THE SCORE TO UNLIMITED, because you know id would be tedious restarting every single match and since there is not beta this makes sense

Its most likely a gametype lol.
Id still enjoy multiplayer regardless tho but if it was the default id just buy halo 4 for the story and the multiplayer for when im bored.

Its stupid how a scoring system would be the deciding factor for you whether or not you buy the game i still like shooting people up and being a better player regardless of how its scored.

it’s not too different from reach’s XP gaining. just more detailed on where your XP is coming from. however it would be annoying if it shows the points every time like cod does.

So where did it say the classic score system is gone?

So… You won’t buy Halo 4 because points are shown differently and you get points for different things? Well then… Your loss mate…

I’ve played a good amount of CoD, but I don’t recall a point system being like this.
Can someone help me out, here?

Every thread since the new trailer is ignoring the first 5 sec of the video.

I’ll have more of an opinion on this tomorrow, after my first few games i get of BTB Heavy. If ME3 doesn’t interrupt me that long xD
