Suffice to say the 30 point minimum for most events is gonna see a bit of a boost.

Match scores are a bit higher than before, yes:

On the plus side, there's a new "match performance" window on the player stats page that'll help us work out how the match score is calculated:

Team damage is tracked, with what I'd guess is 1 point detraction per 10 points team damage done (I managed to hit a team mate in the back with a PPC shot... Sorry!)

Probably, but it's a bit early to tell. We don't know how they've weighted anything yet.

And I'd just taught myself to stop waiting around for a score, let alone look at the second tab … :unsure:

No you're reading it incorrectly, or his match score wouldnt be lower than his damage done.

Match score has always been lower than damage done, seeing as the old match score had a base of damage/10.

In all likelihood, that is still the base of the match score, but they've probably added some factors to other performance metrics that send the match score quite a bit higher than the old one and also makes damage done less important.

damage and score is not 1:1. severals 500+ match score matches with 2-3 kills, lots of assists and 700-900 damage.
so no.

yeah, for the extended event it still lists 30pts, so pretty much every match will count.

i still wish they would add a stat for damage taken. assults and heavies are far more effective when they roll the damage and live longer but thier overall damage usually goes down a but by manuvering this way.

It would be an interesting metric to measure, but you shouldn't be rewarded for it.
