Rewarding the player with the highest kdr is one of the most unbalanced aspects of CoD, killstreaks like the nuke in mw2 ruined the franchise for a lot of fans. It made it into a hiding or rushing match and everyone in-between got screwed. Cod 2 was the last balanced iteration imo.
On another note, I really like the addition of Eliminate enemy squad: +10 points. The information that you have made sure a squad will need to spawn at its base or a captured point is worth more than 10 points to me.
Honestly I think cod united offensive was the best of the cod seris. its mp wasnt that far off battlefield 1942 . it had large maps and tanks ect.
i have ALWAYS said that COD:UO was the best ever COD game
Look michael i made an account
i think the +10 killing enemy squad is a typo. i think its supposed to be “+10 killing enemy squad LEADER”
No it’s the eliminate squad thing is right. I don’t know how many times I got it in the beta
last time i checked call of duty 3 was the most balanced call of duty of all time and was way better than the ones made by infinity ward. cod 3 was also the most realistic cod of its time, not call of duty 2, or mw series. get ur facts straight, PRICK!
wow…. MW3 fanboys on a website made specifically for BF3…. And making comments on how good you THINK MW3 will be…. that’s just sad
I reckon you should get more points if you do away with an entire squad. I like how you get points for ppl spawning on you. I just hope BF3 will have much more tactical and team oriented gameplay than BC2.
Its called Combat efficiency and combat excellence.
Wait! So you get +20 points just because you spot/tag an enemy which led to a kill by a squadmate, but you ONLY get +10 bonus points for headshots? That’s kinda stupid. It should be higher so it gives more incentive to not just run around doing drive-by spray & pray’s. BF3 will still be awesome though….
killstreaks are for CoD. They encourage overly-defensive gameplay and individual combat rather than teamplay. i dont see them including it.
Why so many points for knifing? Thats actually easy to do.
probably because you have to go out of your way to do it instead of just shooting them you know?
I guess 300 points for knife kill are only when you get the dog-tag …attacking enemy from behind and killing ‘em
There are also different animations depending on the location of the knifeee. E.g. the frontal chest piercing stealth kill in the beginning of the Caspian Borders trailer seems to me to be because he was facing him when he got the kill.
Insta knife kills only happen from behind now if you knife from in front it can be defended against or at least the attackee has a chance to.
I think it has a 300 points reward because its diffrent now getting a kill with the knife …I saw the animation, it takes quit a while to finish the move and u actualy rip the tags with ur hands so I suppose u get exposed longer untill u raise ur gun again so in short its RISKY somehow and u have to pick ur kills with care … thats my opinion ofc …
In the beta, you can only knife from behind and the enemy not moving. Knifing from the side, front or the back and enemy moving does nothing. It maybe because DICE only created one animation for knife killing, and that is, the kill coming from behind. Not really a good implementation of a knife kill.
Knifing someone is not actually 300 points it’s really 100 points, the same as just shooting someone. Who ever typed down the scoring has a lot of errors.
wtf few spotted before now noone will(from a recon who spots more than shoots)
Spot before shot n00b.
lol bigfoots spotting, no the people on ground spot em, then the animals that live in the rocks shoot the enemies.
What are you basing the point values from? If you say Alpha you maybe in correct.
Better than nothing.
It’s crazy how 1 knife kill gets you 75% of the score for arming and destroying and MCOM.
actually you do not get the full 300 points unless you knife from the back I was in the alpha and got 100 for a quick slice kill and 300 for a backstab so no it isnt easy to do
VIOLATE THE NDA, MUCH? lol jk. I got invited but I play on xbox so my computer crashed trying to play it on low graphics at 1 fps LOL
sweet, cant wait. I just cant wait.
Um… where are the Conquest points? Like Capture Enemy Flag, Defend Flag and such?
they haven’t released any conquest footage, so how would they know? lol…. by the way everyone, Battlefieldo.com is a better BF3 site, just an FYI
Why would you post something so rude? BF3blog is using all the resources they have to get us the info as quick as possible. They are fantastic editors and moderators. At the rate they are pumping out such excellent writing, they’re like a 4 man medic squad, they’re gonna get you eventually.
I find this site a great site for BF3. So far it has lots of information and there are some good dicussions going on.
Knifing is actually a bit harder than BFBC2 i think
I’m sure that DICE will change this (ridiculous) scoring system. I don’t know what guy was making this system… But I’m sure he was intoxicated on that moment.
I’m down with all those different points. But 300 points for a knife kill while doing an objective earns less? I don’t really have much interests in this system. I’m from the old garde I guess. But I don’t want to see whole my team running around with a knife while the objective lies on the side. (Sort of speak)
I think that the knife kill should get 150 points. The bomb plant and the defuse 180. And the destroy 250.
But hey, that’s just me talking…
They probably scaled the xp required for leveling up to reflect the change in to the scoring system.
Thats right, but this can be a good strategy.
The game will take more battlefield-action than BC2 because some people may want your dog tag or just simply, the rage-guys want knife you on your back because you kill them. lol
I reckon its a decent scoring system. Though I reckon certain things need to be changed but im sure all of this will be worked out in the BETA.
What a tool, the guy who argues passionately about a console game and gives folk grief for writing an error on the scoring system. Bf3 is excellent, so is mw3! You can like the both! Twats
Well at least arming and disarming the mcom is now better rewarded. Was a feeble 50 points in bc2 despite it being the objective of the game and often suicidal.
I personally think that points for killing an enemy should be lower, with the assist points and m-com attack/defend bonus points higher. Reward more for team play and objective actions.
Well all depends of how much points per level you have to reach. If the level is 30 and you have to reach 3,000,000 points, 100 points will be worst. :O
Disable vehicle? I like the sound of that
I read something in a magazine saying that if you shoot the tank many times, it will stop moving but the guns on it will still be able to shoot.
NOOOO , too much points for kill = no team play only play for kill -_-
Kill points:
Kill enemy: 50 points
Knife kill: 150 points
Comeback kill: 30 points
Headshot bonus: +10 points
Eliminate enemy squad: +10 points
Savior bonus: +10 points
Avenger bonus: +10 points
Destroy vehicle: 100 points
Disable vehicle: 50 points
M-COM objective points:
M-COM arm: 300 points
M-COM disarm: 300 points
M-COM destroy: 500 points
M-COM attack bonus: +20 points
M-COM defend bonus: +20 points
it’s better like this
your right man %100
Dice should just doubled this and make it their new standard. This is entirely win.
truthfully i never played any battlefield game looking to get a lot of point so i have no problem with high points for knife kills
i saw in some alpha footage that thers is a 60 point bonus on top of the normal 100 for killing someone and ending their killstreak…. sorry i don’t have the source video, but saw it. i believe it said exactly “killstreak stopped – 60″ … who knows how many kills equals a “killstreak”… im okay with bonuses for stopping someone elses streak, but i dont wanna see bonuses for being on one.
I think you are referring to a “killing spree stopped”
I like to know if the assault win points for healing team mates with the boxes they drop, and how many points they win by healing a member of his squad and a member of his team. Tanks =D
Sadly with 100pts for kills and 100pts revive does help the assault alot if they can disable vehicles. I wonder who can do that maybe recon if so that’s far
im also wondering how hard it is to disable a vehicle if it the same as a kill I think kills should be 50 because people will now focus more on kills the objective should always be way more pts than a kills to encourage going for it more.
but there will be TDM so people who want to only kill people and such can go play TDM and us team players can play Rush
Have to add this sorry, but they should add a point system for the wining side ..like 800 points to each person on wining
The theory of giving points to players on the winning side sounds good at first but the reality will probably be that people will switch to the stronger side (as often happened in BF2 anyway even without points bonuses) and games could get rather one-sided.
What about stoping from switching.. I guess im just trying to score the game more to winning and not kills. I do watch my kills deaths but it seems like the game is becoming more less to winning the objective. I cant even find in bfbc2 how to see my wins losses. When wins losses should be the point on this game.
i believe there are pins for these things guys… “Conquest winner pin” +200 pts… “Rush winner…+200″ etc etc
i dont think theres a way to see your win loss ratio in bc2 but you can count your pins to see how many you won. i do something similar to get a good idea of my head shot count. (praying that they count headshots in bf3)
I hope your right not saying I don’t believe you
well they were present in BC2 i cant see why they wouldnt bring them back. it makes sense that the winner gets a point reward
stopping from team switching and giving such a huge bonus for winning is just asking for rage quitting… it would end up being 12 v 3 on the gigantic maps…
Nop. I disagree with you because players with low KDR will get 800 points doing nothing. CoD is CoD and B3 will be B3. Im sure that the next comment that Im gonna read is that people want killtreaks in battlefield 3. LOL
I am sorry but 300 for a knife kill when vehicle disabling is 100. Seems a bit unbalanced towards effort for reward. We might just end up with a load of commando lightweight knifers etc.
I agree if knifing wasnt as hard as i hear in bf3. What i heard and seen is you dont have a button that just makes you knife, you have to switch to your knife and get the kill from the back but i do think it shiuld be like 150- 200. In my eyes i think kills need to be 50. knifes from the back 80 and and 60 from front then objectives much more and at the end of the match extra points for being the winning side and no switching sides.
Couldn’t agree more m8.
this is ok for me but i say screw the points you get i just am exited for the game! i know that cod is over since i saw the 1st couple sp videos for bf3! cod is olny good (@least was lol) for its sp now bf3 has a awesome sp & still mp experience im getting more exited evry day im really glad commander is back but i wont be experienceing 64 players due to my outdated pc. so its cool to hear that DICE has givin consle players a version of the commander mode & server browser! & if theirs any ps3 players that are getting bf3 you should look in to adding me on psn my id for psn is “mercs2_0990″
erm, commander isnt back and if you have a shit pc then dont bother about getting bf3 on pc just get it on your ps3.
console has the server browser but nothing else is different from the game on console vs pc.
i really hope cod goes fine cause i dont want little kiddies playing bf3 and raping our ears with their high pitched whines about how they cant get killstreaks and tanks dont blow up when they shoot it with their m16.
thats exactly why we need the CoD franchise to keep going. who gives a crap about how shitty the more popular CoD games are if you’re playing BF3 instead? as long as it keeps the 2 yr olds off of BF3 im perfectly fine
His name is anonomys and he posts his psn id… lol…
I would just be happy with the old bf2 type scoring. Simple. The way I like it.
•Revive teammate: 100 points
•Squad revive: +20 points
This is going to deter medics from going in squads.
Perhaps that is a mis-type or it is supposed to be 120 or +20 to the base revive score. (equals out the same)
so is there going to be long range headshot bonus’s like in bfbc2?
Scoring system is too friggin UNBALANCED. Waht would be the point in blowin up an MCOM if I could get the same points for 2-4 kills? It just encourages ppl to play more like CoD gamers, goin round and knifing ppl on a pathetic little killstreak instead of winnin the game! It even has a bonus for stoppin a killstreak now for christ’s sake!
well, seeing as you get +50 xp from mcom destroy and +250 from mcom defuse compared to bfbc2 and same xp for a standard gun kill, pull your head in. its much better than the scoring system in bfbc2, which left many new/inexperienced players out to dry as they were most likely used to CoD (couldnt overcome dice, lol) which is much easier for new players. in bfbc2 you check the leaderboards and youll see only levels 20 to 50 on top of leaderboards, on call of duty you will find a variety of levels or ranks leading in different games. im not calling cod better, but much easier for new players, im still in FULL support of previously made bf games and the ones to come.
