Sounds much better to me. Should be able to just play like normal to be honest.

All this is gonna do is create players who get 1 kill, hit a few other guys, rush to die than hit the next game.

Indeed. That was my planned playstyle, as "unsportsmanlike" it is.

My brother noted it could be easily fixed, if winning provided another point...
If it were so: if you win, you get a point. If you don't win but get a kill and an assist, you get a point. Win, get a kill and an assist and you get two points. That would be pretty darn great, no?

Your brother is a genius. Such a simple, elegant balance.

i wonder if it will have the whole you need to get a kill and an assist for it to count.

It's a kill and assist, but no win required.

I'm on vacations so bring it!!!!!

From the requirements i understood this - if i ever want Badder and all that stuff, i will just spend 30$ and buy it. Saves 25 hours of grind, for those who have life, you know.

[Divine Retribution]

Way to beat the announcement by 1 hour and 12 minutes.... because we really needed that extra time to prepare for 80+ matches over 3 days.

Those of us still trying to save the IS will have to pick up 80 CW matches over the weekend. Really looking forward to 40 hours of killing clanner scum. Well at least the first 12 or so hours of it.

Fair enough. I saw the MDD banner and guessed, but wasn't sure, hence the ...? It's a cool cockpit item, I'll enjoy a second one if I get that far. I rather dislike polygon, though. I'm with you on blue. Far and away my fave color, can never have enough.

And it's up. So play 50-80 games with a kill & assist. I'm really not sure that's worth it to me. But that's my issue. Free is free.

Ay, forgot that, I just want a second of the item.


Might do it in my adder just for a giggle. (Unless it's already mastered, then I'll find something else...)

Sweet, more free premium time.

I had a real hard time getting the 50 points last time. Hope the requirement are more lax. I got some homeworld to play

Well I got the 25 points for OP24MK2 in about 6 matches, so if they're using that scoring formula it's going to be a piece of cake. Too bad I already have a set of Adders and that camo pattern looks like it's the polygon camo, which I'm pretty sure I also have unlocked from one of the clan packs.

I had seriously considered going for the Raven and the virus pattern, but after getting my first three points, I just didn't feel like playing MWO all weekend so I played something else instead.
I'm not that desperate for a 295 XL anyway and I'm not that concerned about camo patterns, though the virus pattern looks pretty sweet on the Raven.

Its get a kill and get an assist scoring system

win or lose!

That's more like it. Thanks PGI, it will make a lot of unfortunate souls MUCH happier this time around. Only thing I'd change is allow an extra point for 3x kills or something, just to keep it more PGI's style.

It's not the money for me, it's those damn "Red X's" in the challenges page. They taunt me anytime I miss an event. This one should be easy anyway.

It looks like my Blackjacks are going to get a workout. I'll have to try out that 52 point alpha 6xML+2xLPL build I've been wanting to take out with the BJ-1X.

Looking at the OP it seems like it's total kills+assists, but I don't see a source ( simply saying it's from Russ' twitter doesn't count, we need to see the actual message ) and I have been unable to find it, so the OP might not be entirely accurate for all I know.

Edit: found it.

Looks like it will be 1 kill and assist for 1 point.

Meh! This is what I have planned:

I'll be doing this one.



If we end up fewer than the robot grinders, I might work on the badder.

I've suggested this in the past. No idea why they don't implement it.
