Hey yall,
New to the forums. Long time Halo player. Nice to meet all of you in the community!
In the gameplay trailers I noticed the UI for the kill system is going by points instead of kill count. Wondering how yall feel about it? Hoping for them to make an option to turn it off or change it.
Look forward to chatting with you spartans more!
I’d Say the footage is likely an objective ‘game type’ variant with corresponding scoring? Traditional Slayer with Scoring based on Kill count will almost certainly be returning.
I’d love it.
Your typical game can easily be first to 5000 points (ie. 50 kills - the maths isn’t hard).
But it opens up lots of (custom) game play options. Different players being worth different points. Different weapons or types of kills being worth more.
Games where you keep your points for an assist and get less if your kill isn’t clean.
In social games you could adjust the scoring for each team as players drop in/out to keep things balanced.
Keeps options open.
Honestly, I don’t think it changes much besides the visual appearance on the kill feed. A kill is still a kill but here’s a hundred points for your personal score.
The points on screen aren’t necessarily “match scoring”.
I imagine it’ll be like CoD, you have a personal points accumulation per match that calculates towards XP but points to win the match will still be 1 per kill.
I don’t think it really changes that much except just visually.
