Just played some Oddball and King of the hill and right now theres really no incentive to try to hold each thing.
Holding the oddball does not give enough points compared to kills and controlling the hill is just useless compared to just killing everyone.

Removed the word Petition from title. Sorry.
Anyone?
I can see your point, as in it’s gimping yourself.
But don’t forget you get progression towards your accomodation by winning oddball, smacking people with the ball and sofort. That increases your XP.
Winning also increases XP
And for me (I know, a lot of this gaming generation does not agree with me) holding the ball and therefor winning is enough incentive to hold it!
Otherwise get a friend, take turns holding the ball and guarding the other!
Dont get me wrong, I like to win but I just hate to see players who play the Obj hurt for doing so. I dont think someone not even trying to go after the Obj and just focusing on kills get more points than the guy who had a 1.30 ball held time.
I mean one example:
I go like 8-10 (More focused on Obj and less about K/D with sadly is the standard stat now) with the ball held time for 1.00 and hardly get any exp for it however the guy who never even attempts to go near the ball goes (Basically using the mode for a easier slayer match) 15-7 and gets a lot more points than me.
Oh, Candyman50S I tottaly see your point now, and though I haven’t played oddball yet, I agree with you.
Maybe every 10 seconds held, or something should give you bonus XP so that you are on par with persons guarding you all the time, thus it stays a team-effort.
Or maybe, when your team kills someone close to you (a threat), you get xp for holding the ball, and they get bonus for guarding the carrier.
That way teamwork and protecting the carrier is promoted I think!
They could do something like that. Anything is better than the system they got in place.
Agreed. also, boost flag cap points to 150 or 200 because 100 isn’t enough to encourage people to cap the flag.
I say get rid of the whole point system. Or at least make it hidden.
Also bring back emblems on the scoreboard. Now its hard to see where you are and no one can see it so why even have them in the first place.
Yeah, a hidden system could probably work.
Trying to get this noticed with more input.
Not many Obj players?
I do agree with you for more objectives. I only played oddball once on halo4, and it seemed pointless honestly… I didn’t get much points just holding the ball and staying in the corner, when i could had been killing people and getting +10 for every kill (+headshots, multi kills, etc.)
Same with king of the hill.
