An Alternative Scoring that works......

[SEE]

Edal should have posted this alternative as a separate thread and had it stickied. One of the reasons so many players deserted the game on Xbox was their frustration with the scoring. I suppose we on XBox didn't read the PS3 Tournament threads and were ignorant of how it worked.

I agree, Koz, respawning in your safe zone is far better......and you still have the standard leader board scoring system at the end of the game with this method anyway.........

most of it was stickied but not sticky enough to avoid being deleted.

Making the scoring system is the easy part, getting people to use it is the hard part. You need an alternative ranking to the strike boards, because you still don't get individual points for opponent's deaths, only credited kills, and not as many as bombers get for destroying targets. At least not on ps3. Maybe it's different on xbox.

Yes it is the same on the xbox leaderboards. But we play mostly in player match so we don't even use the leaderboards, we just play this because it feels like a better and more fair game than Team battle and is more tactical and fun. We arn't really bothered about keeping personal records in this mode anyway because it is about the team not the individual. We can do some ranked dogfight for that.

I didn't delete Edal's threads I just un stuck them. They should still be on the board.

Starting to catch on, I received an invite to play Sim 1 V 1 whilst setting up my new HD monitor.......accepted the invite and the other player had set it up on a 'strike map' ........much better (and so is the monitor! )

I am not ready to give up on reguler team battles but this is a an interesting alternative.be careful especially at the start of the game to locate your wingmen so you dont crash into each other.in one match last night that happened to me .we lost 2 points instantly.seems like team work can be used better like evangeluse drawing you away from your base so if you die you have a long agonizing flight back to your teamates.
