So, I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but at 1:54 in the new vidoc:
you can see on the bottom right that the score is 399 to 139. This leads me to believe that you will now receive a certain amount of points per kill rather than just counting kills. Not sure how I feel about this, but I just wanted to point it out to anyone who didn’t notice.
Discuss…
Also wanted to comment that I saw no bloom or armor abilities used during the multiplayer peak…WINNING
Halo always needed a better scoring system IMO.
well sprint is in it. That’s an AA for me:S I surely hope they still gonna remove that. Screw AA’s
You have to bear in mind that the game is still in development and the most likely explanation is the winning score is set very very high so they can just keep playing and testing.
I hope we still have the traditional scoring system, and that is just a different gametype, but that is just me, doesn’t really effect gameplay.
Loving that the BR is back, doesn’t seem to have bloom either!
The talk of a progression system to unlock abilities and weapon loadsouts set some alarm bells ringing though. But I’ll wait to find out more before I judge.
All in all, looks damn sweet! Hopefully we can get a more indepth look soon.
Binarytales, I meant to post that as an alternate explanation. Nice point.
And yes, sprint is in, but at least we can agree that that is the best AA
I am happy Sprint is back, ALL I PRAY FOR NOW IS MY REAR ADMIRALS TO RETURN!
I love Rear Admiraling people. 
Perhaps, more points would be rewarded for the type of kill such as head shots, assassinations, armor abilities in use, mid air, vehicle, weapon, assists. There are many possibilities for points when you think of Firefight.
I think it’s a specific gametype

Not my type of game, i enjoy the assassination animations in reach and if you have a problem, keep it to yourself.
Great point! It could just be a specific gametype which I think is a great idea. Certain number of points based on medals and such. Sounds good and won’t effect gameplay really.
Jesus…how many Ideas did 343 steal from me?

The probably just played for a long time.
When I played Anniversary on a convention before the game came out the score ended up being somewhere around 9500
or they might be counting down, like the scoring system in Battlefield, we didn’t see what gametype this was in right?
What is with the team symbols by the score a unicorn a and a wolf?
Idk, when you see the assist medal and headshot medal there’s a “5” next to them, hinting at “points” for medals. Idk if I like that, but yet again it is still a WIP.

If you have a problem with the way they’re making this game you’re supposed to KEEP IT TO YOURSELF?! ROFL! No, actually I think the community voicing their opinion should happen, whether it’s positive or negative, you should always let the game developers know how you feel. And if they don’t take the game in a direction the community wants, the community will not be satisfied, and will stop paying and playing their game.
Well, I don’t know if seeing that score indicates a different scoring system.
Could be though. But it could just be a (very) long gametype for testing and preview/vidoc videos. Also, could be an oddball, koth, etc with a higher time limit.

If you read the quoted text then you would understand that they were not saying not to voice opinions about the game but opinions on other players. “Go play COD” isn’t exactly an opinion that helps 343i at all. Read before you post.
I really hope that’s not a slayer game mode. You should only be able to get points through kills in slayer, period.
