I'm a long time supporter of points proportional to damage done to an enemy.
Do 90% of the damage even though you only get an assist? You should get 90% of the points for the kill.
Do 10% of the damage even though you get the kill? You should get only 10% of the points for the kill.
I am against cutting down full kill points by half because its like a punishment where there should be a reward, though I understand how it would encourage teamwork though.
EDIT: If you want to encourage teamwork, don't punish solo kills, but simply give a war point bonus for kills accomplished with the efforts of 2 or more players, like a +10 team bonus. |

Its more about getting fair and proportionate distribution of war points than it is about KDR, so its more about the war points, well to me at least. I don't think the OP meant it would affect KDR, just the points you get for war points and assists. |

I don't understand why people here keep mentioning KDR, the OP said nothing about giving the person who dealt the most damage the kill. He is suggesting that war point rewards are proportional to damage dealt. Do most of the work, get most of the pay, the person who actually deals the finishing blow would still get the kill, and get the kill credit.
This is how BF3 scores kills and assists and its not terrible and broken or evil. It actually works pretty well, this isn't some radical new idea that has never been attempted in shooters before; it has been done before, and it worked pretty well. No I'm not making the argument "game X has it, therefore Dust should have it too", I'm just saying it works.
War points is not just about feeding your squad leader strikes for free kills, it determines your SP rewards.
The only half points for a solo kill idea is very bad though. |
