Contradictory KDAs and other strange game data

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I just played a warzone game where I got 40 spartan kills and 19 deaths. This was my highest kill count of all time, so I took to analyzing it and found some strange results.

  1. The Carnage report after the game said my KDA was 22.6. Then I go to halowaypoint.com’s game history on my phone and it says my KDA is 34.7. Is this a bug? Or are they factoring in AI kills in some weird way?

  2. Furthermore, the guy right after me had 36 kills and 24 deaths. His Carnage KDA was 16.6. But halowaypoint says 36.7. He also had LESS AI kills than me.

How is it possible for him to have a lower KDA than me on the TV but a higher one on Halo waypoint.

  1. I re-watched the game and I definitely captured a base. I was standing inside the first floor of the armory on Darkstar for like 15 seconds when our teams Marines spawned. Yet I got no credit for capturing any bases. Is this a known bug?

  2. Finally, Halo waypoint says that I got one kill using a scorpion. However, I never drove a Scorpion. I did board and grenade two of them, killing a total of 4 passengers. And I killed a 3rd tank at long range. How could it be telling me that I used a scorpion to get a kill?

Thanks for your time.

Hey there again!

  1. AIs like crawlers/marines/grunts etc get factored in to waypoint KDA. (even factors into your total WZ “Kills” on your service record).
  2. same thing. marines and the such
  3. not common to happen, but not the end of the world when it rarely does.
  4. not sure if this happened, but say my buddy killed a vehicle with a scorpion while I am shooting it with my BR, I can still get the kill with it counting as me shooting it with the tank. Only works on vehicles that have a delayed destruction animation like the wraith. This is how people can steal Tankmaster on Apex despite you blowing it up.

Waypoint has always had weird sync issues like that. For example, my total arena kills always show to be about 500 more on the Xbox than on waypoint. I’m sure there are lots of other minor things we just don’t notice. The important thing is, congrats on a great game!

Thanks, bro. It’s no big deal I just wanted to make sure I’m understanding things correctly
