" You going to give us extra points for killing someone after dying three times in a row?" directed at CCP
I'd rather we get extra points for terminating a clone on a kill streak... if they killed five in a row get extra points for putting them out of action. |

That's exactly what I'm getting at. I don't want this kind of garbage.^
Except that precisely aligns rewards with actions that help the team... some guy is owning your team and you are the one who takes the pressure off your team.
What are the points for otherwise... we could just use integer counters tracking kills.
Throwing in things that you can't control yourself, based on how much of a contribution you make, is a way to encourage people to keep trying when things get tough. |

The bottom line is that 1337 red-dot I killed is only going to come back anyway. To be honest, I like to do away with the WP system to where it gives airstrikes, after all, it the only thing it does right now. I prefer it if they made it a cooldown, like they did in MAG or how they demonstrated back in the Dust keynote back at 2012's Fanfest.
You are thinking too small. The l337 red dot will often have lost his pub-stomping proto suit and is likely to come back with a cheaper fit after losing an expensive fit. If so, that's definitely worth the points.
Also, the WP's determine your rank at the end of the match which determines your share of the payout pool.
If you are worried about too many orbital bombardments then it's not hard to up the WP required to earn one -- though it might take a while. |

I can't argue with that.
We need a conceptual break between where the new player experience happens and PC. While the game may be about PC to many most newer players won't have any reason to care about it for a very long time.

I don't know... seems pointless to whine about giving people WP for doing things they are supposed to do. |

Dude, different people have different requirements. As a sniper you often need a head shot if you want to bring someone down relatively quickly.
Doing that can make the difference between helping your team defend/take an objective or not.
You must be trolling because that is a lame ass excuse for whining about the headshot thing. |
