I noticed in the IGN video that you get points for catching and throwing the Oddball to a teammate. You get 15 points for a catch and 25 points for a long ball through. My question is what is to stop two people from just throwing the ball back and forth to eachother and boost their points?
Won’t last long when they’re wasting time throwing it back and forth and the enemy team comes in and just murders them.
In BF3, to stop people from repairing damaged vehicles to boost points, they stopped the exp at a certain point. Im sure they did the same here.

Doesn’t it work the same way with the bomb though? So on two bomb two teammates just throw it back and forth in some secluded corner of the map.

Unless the enemy team are their friends.
Maybe it explodes after x amount of tosses that are caught…
Good question though. Or maybe the points are so small that they won’t even be looked at as boosting, but you just playing the game…

They why throw the oddball back and forth then when they could just get a bunch of kills, sprees, etc on each other? Way more efficient than throwing a ball where only two people benefit in a 8 player game.
If your in a party of 8 it would be possible but then again in a party of eight there are many more ways u can boost.
You have to consider that throwing the ball will probably take at least a second off your score for the air time so your score won’t be going up as fast and also decreasing your chances of winning and if u get a large amount of points for winning then it wouldn’t be boosting would it?
I just wish the flag and ball didn’t make you feel stupid.
Jeff: YOU HAVE THE BALL!!!
Oh jee jeff thank didnt notice it there.
Maybe you only have a limited number of throws in a single life.
I thought that as soon as they started passing it back and forth too

Same here, for a second I actually thought that all that elementary stuff was in there just for the PAX demos so everyone would know what they are doing, and that it would be taken out in the final build. That’s what I’m hoping happens anyway.
Wait, this is exp right? I hope this isnt the scoring system used in game.

good call.

This would be the best solution.
But I don’t have faith in 343 to implement such and easy fix to the problem.

Getting shot at would be my guess
