So I noticed that my score jumps a lot these days. It used to be pretty hard to break 70 points before the patch. Now I'm getting 200+. Just what has changed exactly? I'm not doing anything different. I prefer scouting, and I flank and in general push for some good teamwork. But I am far from being even a good player--and I certainly won't be doubling my score overnight just because.

Can anyone tell me more about the new scoring system? What can earn you points?

Anything granting cbills, can earn you points, spotting, assisting, killing, tag, narc.

Any player action in the game that triggers a C-Bill or XP reward (such as kills, assists, or damage done) now applies to this scoring system. Skill rating in MWO is no longer determined solely by your win/loss rate. The Match Score displayed at the End of Round screen is now the primary metric that will determine a player’s skill rating.


No further details in what gives how much exactly.

What is a good score now? I'm guessing around 300 or above.

not sure, i would say 300is ok.
400 starts to be good

but its hard to say at all. Needs more samples.

at leats my minimum standard is to apply 200 damage that are helping to at leats core someone (not just hitting something) anything below is considered as "i did bad" 300 is not being bad, 400 is ok. from 500 starts good.
At leats in matches where it is going to matter about kills, which does not mean Assaults or conquest.

But I have not yet reflected this into Score to measure score.

probably measuring score is ayways not the best, jsudging what you really constributed to the match matters more.

I'm getting in the 4-500 range. The thing that confused me is that what I have been doing used to give me 70-100 points top. Did they just inflate the number or what?

They've weighted scoring towards things that help the team. ePeen inflationary tactics won't get you as high a score as helping the team do well.

Damage is king everything else is secondary.
