Hey all,
Never posted here before but I’ve been noticing a really strange error in my kill count where it appears that I’m receiving a bonus kill which is categorized as ‘explosion’ every time I kill a vehicle.
I have a funny habit of counting my kills after every game through my medals as I wait for the next game. With the ‘generic kill’ award you can actually determine your kill count and style of play just through analyzing the medals screen. It’s kind of dumb but what else am I going to do while I wait?
The problem is the math never adds up when I get ‘vehicle destroyed’ medals. I always have extra kills which are unaccounted for in the medals that are exactly equal to the # of ‘vehicle destroyed’ medals I have. The vehicle destroyed medal is not eclipsing the actual weapon kills either, those are all being accounted for.
I did some investigating on waypoint and I realized that every time I kill a vehicle, I’m getting a kill which is categorized as ‘explosion’. Looking through my stats, the only place that I see ‘explosion’ kills on maps where vehicles are supported.
I just had a game on Harvest where I took down four warthogs, once with a sniper and the other three times with a laser. I had seven laser medals (the last one was against someone on foot) and two sniper medals, plus four explosion medals. In short, I received 23 kills statistically when I only actually got 19 kills in the game. WTF? Are other people noticing this glitch?
