Engineer score for disarming C4.

(amazinglarry) #1

After playing a bunch of matches tonight (8v8’s and 6v6’s) I had a few games where on Waterloo I had disarmed ~6 C4 charges in at least two games, and still didn’t come away with ‘Best Engineer’ after the match ended.

Now obviously we should all know by now that the only reward I care about is ‘Most Team Kills’, but I’m trying to branch out. And before anyone says, “Who cares?” well, I don’t really care but it’s just part of the fun. People like having some recognition for how well (or poorly) they did during the match. I realize that’s entirely subjective but that’s my guess.

I feel like there should be a greater emphasis on disarming or planting C4 charges - things that are directly related to completing the Objectives, than just Turret or Mine kills (although they obviously are very important, since any time you take out an enemy player it’s a good thing).

As one who almost never gets the most kills, it’d be nice to get equal or more recognition by PTFO. I loved finishing first in the BF3 stats screen with a K/D of 3-12 yet, top score in whatever class I was playing. My opponents can keep their fancy schmancy KDR. I helped get my team the win by getting Obj’s done.

I’d think that SD is tracking all of the stats in our alpha test games and can pull the averaged numbers for all obj tasks completed per game. That way, they’ll be able to properly reward successful obj tasks to be equal or greater than just kill count xp alone.

probably safe to assume this is not anywhere near the top of their to do list at the moment.

Objective completion usually gets the offensive engy the most XP. Just keep in mind that the other engies are also doing their job and killing as well, so it tends to come down to those numbers.

More XP for defusals can’t be a bad thing IMO.

Where did I mention that it should be? I thought this was the General Feedback & Discussion forum. Is it not?

I wonder if your disarm points are matching their plant point and then they’re beating you on kills or something else?
Who won best engineer? Were they on the opposite team? What did they do to win?

Maybe your name is hardcoded in the game to not receive any rewards?

Yeah they were on opposite teams. Maybe you’re right, that their ‘plant’ xp equals the disarm… and then the actual objective completion puts them over the top.

As for my name being hardcoded to not receive any rewards, that’s clearly not the case. It’s hardcoded to perpetually get the Most Teamkills. :wink:
