I bet most of you have noticed that for example ingame it says you have 16 kills, while after the game in the scoreboard it says you only got 15 kills. Especially in BTB heavies. Ingame it said i had 47 kills, while in the scoreboards it said i only got 36.

What causes this?

and here is a link to the game

May want to read how heavies actually works. Getting kills by certain methods grants 2 points instead of 1. Those score boards dont ever represent kills only points. Every other game if you suicide or betray you lose a point but you still keep the same kills you make.

No, you got 35 points. Holy -blam!- even after it's explained to you you're still struggling to grasp the concept.

Let me break it down for you guys

Discrepancy's in kills in normal BTB happen for the following reason...

If you kill people who are in a vehicle and blow up said vehicle while you kill them you will get one extra kill in the post game lobby for the vehicle blowing up. So if you laser a warthog with one person in it you will get one kill in the game but 2 in the post game lobby. If you laser a warthog with two people in it you will get three kills in the post game lobby.

Heavy's has a different way of scoring things and the points will add up faster... here is how it works..
You get extra points for killing people in specific ways in heavy's. If you get a splatter its worth two points. I don't know all the methods of getting extra points but I believe that the majority of non vehicle kills outside of splattering are supposed to be worth an extra point.

Suicides and betrayals also make the final number not line up. Think of it as a point total and not a kill total.

In other words its magical when your game score and kill total match in BTB heavy's.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

BTB Heavies awards additional points for things like doubles kills and killing sprees. They then show up on the scoreboard as 'kills'.

But they're not kills, they're points. The more you know.

This and you get an extra kill in your post game for every occupied vehicle you blow up.

Edit: oops I thought this looked familiar =P

Wouldn't you get four points for that, since you technically killed both of those people with "Explosion"?

  • 03.21.2012 10:54 AM PDT

Headshot = 2 point.
