DUST Search - Extra points for headshots is super dumb

Marlin Kirby wrote:

We don't need this candy handout bullcrap and it doesn't directly help the team either.

What's next? You going to give us extra points for killing someone after dying three times in a row?

The above is the unaltered OP. I made no changes to it. Upon review of this thread, two fair points were brought up:
- Slayers should get more opportunities for points compared to the mass amount logis get
- Shooting a clone in the head puts it out of action, this should be rewarded

With these points being stated, I slay that the headshot bonus should be removed, however, any kill that results in the termination of the clone (headshots, explosions, getting killed in a vehicle, etc.) or bleeding out a clone that has been defeated should result in 10+ WP. This makes it so the mechanic actually helps the team instead of getting a pat on the back by the game for doing something special.

With the that being said, the new patch will result in squads getting much more skill points than before. I think the WP required for an OB should be increased.

I don't have a source, just trust me: Gameplay * New War Points rewards have been added: * Intel Assist - rewards the scanner 15 War Points if their squad members kill scanned enemies, 25 War Points for vehicles or installations. Scanning War Points will still be received up to 10 seconds after a scan has ended if the target was damaged whilst scanned. * Equipment destruction - rewards the destruction of enemy equipment with 5 War Points. * Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute. * Headshot Kill - 60 War Points.* * Counter hacking - rewards a counter hack with 75 War Points. * Updated War Point reward message UI. The reason the thread was made*

I'm actually surprised at people complaining about the extra 50 WP this would give most people per match. It rewards the player for being skillful with their weapon. Why is this a bad thing? For all of the "it takes no skill to use an AR" that I hear on the forums I'd think that the people who actually believe that they have skill would be for something that rewards them over dumb blueberry luck. I'm surprised this wasn't the default way the game was designed.

Thats a great idea! How about a point penalty of say -100 WP if the clone you revived dies seconds later? makes more sense to me, after all the clone isn't alive long enough to make a difference

I'm surprised this wasn't the default way the game was designed. The reward should be the ammo you saved. I'm surprised you think that should have been default. Recent multiplayer games has spoiled you. War points, if anything, should getting a job done. It shouldn't be used to make you feel special.

ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 2094	Posted - 2013.09.30 21:01:00 - [105] - Quote They should have a kill streak takedown bonus as well. If you kill someone on a killstreak you should be rewarded for overtaking their leet skills. Something like: WP = 50 + 10 for headshot + 10(Enemy Player Killstreak - 3) If someone is on a 23 person killstreak and about ready to get a M.O.A.B and you get a headshot on them, you should be awarded 50 + 10 + 10(23-3) for a total of 260 WPs. It took skill to put that person down and you deserve the WPs for doing so. You should also be rewarded for those killstreaks you get as well. WP = 50 + 10 for headshot + 5*(Killstreak - 3) so up around a 20 kill streak you should be getting around 150 WP per kill. It takes skill to get that many kills in a row without dying. If you are revived the kill streak still resets though, cause you still died... having your 'clone' revived is meaningless.

Marlin Kirby KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 71	Posted - 2013.10.18 14:18:00 - [111] - Quote Well, the patch has been pit out and, as expected, the amount of OB I'm able to use to dramatically increased. I'm unlucky to get only one in a match. This is obviously not just because of the headshot bonus, but all the other WP opportunities as well. The WP required for an OB should be increased or OB should be reworked to a cooldown. Headshot bonus is still super dumb. Give 10WP for clone termination instead CCP!
Marlin Kirby KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 71	Posted - 2013.10.28 20:34:00 - [112] - Quote I noticed that red-dots getting revived after giving them a bullet to the head, there by making half the arguments here void. I still agree with the edited OP, but I will not tolerate candy handouts! The not logic bomb!
