I won my two matches but because I didn't have enough kills i didn't earn enough points to qualify for the 100 match score

You don’t need kills. Doing a little bit of damage is more than enough for 100 Matchscore.

Damage does more than enough. You don't need kills to meet the match score. You can also use AMS, UAVs, and many, many other elements to increase your match score. Sure, kills and damage are the most lucrative, but unless you are a pacifist, getting 100 match score in FP should be a cake walk. Unless you got carried hard to victory, barely being present in the fight.

Great commanders who stay away from the fray to -- you know -- command effectively leading to completely massacring the enemy get a lump of coal in the end.

So let's have a 13th player who serves as Mechcommander!




And by that I mean her.

Anyone who doesn't think Mech Commander (and 2) was amazeballs, get out of my drop ship right now. Mid flight. During atmosphere burn.

What the hell are you doing to get less than a 100 match score? If you're participating in the match, breaking that threshold shouldn't be an issue.

I hate to say this but I got the tournament MC in 3 matches. Win/Loss/Win. I was lucky enough to get pugs as enemies though because the population in FW was so high for awhile.

I guess that's the trick. Go for the FW event stuff as soon as it starts when everybody else is doing it. If you wait you end up against the seal clubbers.

Na, the whole 1st wave rush people used to occasionally do in CW. That is what I was referring to. It's been such a long time since I've seen it (or regularly played it) that I forgot that "base rushing" was even a thing. I mean its one thing to base rush to take down the gens and turrets in prep for the final gun push, but to just rush it immediately and take it down has always seemed, well, lame to me. To play a shooty mech game without the shooty part has always struck me as sort of a waste.

Wait what? ... Did someone really just complain about not being able to get 100 match score? ... In FP? ...

Like ... Really?

I guess people are missing the point this doesn't just entirely relate to the tournament, it is general ALL game modes are about rewards for KILLS not about PTFO and that needs to change as it makes all the game modes other than skirmish useless, which therein leads to me not getting my points as PTFO is not a viable option.
I have completed the challenges that I want so far but doesn't change the underlying issue PGI have made the game almost skirmish only so having us vote for a game mode that is just skirmish anyway is a total waste and make the map choices partly irrelevant thereby making queue time longer than they need to be which is a snowball effect.
Make all game modes relevant and fun by rewarding people for playing the game modes as they are intended to be played or just scrap it all and make every map skirmish like it nearly currently is and be done with it. Then all we have to do is vote map and speed everything up.

Well, I just console myself with the fact that I am Richer Than Blake. <shrugs>

You're seriously complaining because YOU CHOSE to gen rush and got a predictably low score? Man, how do you think your opponents felt? You could have gotten that score by launching a UAV and firing 3 alphas. People are ridiculing you because 100 match score is absurdly easy even when gen rushing.
