Have they released anything on how Team Slayer works?
Edit:Sorry if it wasn’t clear, I’m talking about Team Slayer, how 50 kills was to win.
With a skill system you can’t see.
No.
I’m kinda disappointed at this change. It doesn’t benefit anything, It’s a scoring system. It just seems to make old fans who have been here since 2001 annoyed.
I prefer no ranking system. Just killing, shooting and winning really.

He’s talking about how Team Slayer is now won by points.
"500 Points to win*
It’s a turn from the tradition and doesn’t really do anything except enrage old fans.

So is each kill worth 10 points? Or are they going to make like headshots and stuff worth points, because in some of the pictures it shows the score being at like 392…

We’re not quite sure yet, but we have seen a screen shot of medals being assigned points so it sounds like it. Not really fair to me if headshots are worth more points though. A kill is a kill, why should aiming a few inches higher give you more points?

Wow that would be awful. That would totally kill the game for lesser skilled players…wow.
> Wow that would be awful. That would totally kill the game for lesser skilled players…wow.
actually I would like that. Better skilled players winning.
Sounds fair to me.
I want 50 kills to win
I dont like the point to wins idea …
Although nothing has been said yet so no one is certain as to how it will play …

Because headshots are everything right? Thought thats what team swat was for.

Umm. If you’re reticule happens to be one click down, you’re given less points? Not all good players get head shots all the time.
It is first to 50. 343 was just testing out custom options in the ViDoc

Give me a sec, I’ll find 5 vids that prove it’s up to 500 pts. Even a quote from Frankie.
EDIT: Here’s a vid at 0:25. Look at the bottom right corner of the screen.
I’ll get the quote now.

Proof that Team Slayer is no longer won by kills, but points.

I just watched that video and if you watch from 1:40 to 1:43 there is a kill with a headshot and the score goes from 40 points to 50 points - 10 points for a kill. Doesn’t look like there’s any extra points for headshots, just medals.
I think this thread is leaping to conclusions that aren’t there.

Question - I can’t find anywhere that a normal kill isn’t 10 points? Alternatively put is a non-headshot kill still 10 points? The videos I have watched only show headshot kills.
500 points for a win is still 50 kills from what I can see.

Its a vague explanation but still
Screw 343.

In videos we can see scores like 392, and numbers that aren’t multiples of 10. What would be the point of changing the old system if it wasn’t any different?
I’m unsure how the new scoring system might work. We know 1-50 system has been confirmed to be more flawed then predicated and as a result, 343 is not going to be implementing it, but as for this new system, I’ll take a prediction based on nothing but guessing:
Kill - 10 points
Assist - 5 points
Distraction - 2 points
Death - 0 points
Suicide - -10 points
Beyond that, I’m sure medals and spree’s are going to be rewarding for a team somewhere in that. I don’t know if they’ll directly affect the scoreboard, but a gut feeling is being played on this, so I’ll consider it for now.
