I noticed in one of the PAX videos that you get 100 points for capping a flag. Wouldn’t this make randoms on your team potentially inclined to kill you before you reach the cap point, take the flag, and grab the points for themselves?
Someone told me that the points are distributed across the whole team, but in one of the videos I saw, the player drove the flag carrier to the capture point and only got a Flag Assist worth 20 points or something.
What do you guys think? I tend to not play Matchmaking unless I have a team of friends so it won’t affect me, but I feel for the people who do play with selfish randoms.
A kill is what, worth 10 points? You get 10x that if you capture the flag. Hell, people even did it in previous Halo games (albeit not that often) even when it didn’t really provide any personal benefit. Now there’s even more incentive.
