-SOUL SN1P3R

This has happened to me several times in Reach from the beginning. Just now it said I had 25 kills and I get credit for 14. I did not betray suicide. I did not kill anyone with vehicles or people in them nor did the game lag to change host or for someone quitting...What's the deal? Sometimes I notice other player's scores "adjusted" but sometimes they are not and mine are. I have asked others to look at the post game report and they see that I am getting credit for less kills (rarely more).

- Enemy vehicles count as a "kill"
- In heavies, you get 2 points depending on the style of the kill eg. a headshot.

So getting 2 points (kills) for the style in heavies only shows in the in game scoreboard? Is that the same for enemy vehicles (1 for the tank and 1 for the actual driver of a tank lets say) in the in game scoreboard, but in the post game carnage report it would only show 1 kill? So the double points really mean nothing? Why do they even do this...Also I have noticed this in regular team slayer how would you explain this?

Because I may not be getting credit for the kills and I have noticed it for 2 years in virtually every game and it was never fixed or explained accurately. It is quite bothersome to me...

Halo multiplayer sucks!

OP, are you sure you're not accidentally looking at the KD spread? If not, then no idea, but don't let it bother you, you only get about 6 credits for a kill anyway

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

If you're not getting credit for the kills, but everyone else isn't either for the same sort of kills, then why does it matter? If the system is complex enough to have not been deciphered by now then it likely never will be. Just do your thing.

The shadow on the wall.

Silent

In BTB exclusively you get points depending on the style of kill. EG: If you killed him with a headshot, it would count for two points, but if it was a vehicle it would only count for one.

I had to do a double take and a few tests the first time I saw it, but you figure out which weapons do what.

You can also download the gametype and go into the scoring options to check what you get extra points for.
