watch as the blue player headshots the red player. He gets two medals in the upper right of the screen, one for headshot and one other (help identify it if you can). Each is paired with a 5. Now watch the lower right’s score meter increase from 388 to 398.

Clearly score is based on points awarded for specific actions, and goes to a lot higher a number. Will this help make the game more competitive (more points for headshots, less for AR spam + beatdown)?
We will certainly be able to adjust it in custom games. So many possibilities!

The second medal looked like an assist medal.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about this.

Could just be a BR Slayer variant. I’m sure there will still be classic scoring as well.

If it scores for your team based on kills, assists, skills and else, i’m very glad that driving and helping your team will be really rewarded now.

I don’t like it at all. The problem is we’re only getting some of the information though. In it’s current context it might seem silly and completely unnecessary, but it might seem like a really good idea when we see the big picture. As much as I hate people who say this, I’m gonna have to wait till I get more information before I make a decision :confused:

One three second clip and you are completed convinced they are changing the entirwe multiplayer formula?

These forums seriously need to stop finding problems with things that aren’t problems yet.

For all we know this could be a clip from a customized gametype with extra bonus points.

We don’t know enough yet to say things like they are changing multiplayer entirely. So stop saying things like that
