Score Bug?

[Mnam]

Is there some sort of score bug/glitch because today i was on some random server playing zatar and was in the little bird and did a strafting run on a bunker and went back to rearm and my score went from 0-2047 in mater of seconds it was at zero when i went to check if i got any kills from the run and my points just started to rise by the 50s and then once my squad leader saw this he thought i was hacking and them he got the whole server to try and get me ban

i have never hacked before please help me


sorry if this is not the right area to post this in

i think there is a bug with the scoring, i have seen many people with outrageous scores, the other day on qwai a guy had a 9000 score at the end of the round, so he was either absoluteley amazing or there was a bug with some type of scoring, lb maybe?

This is definitely a bug. I had the pleasure of squadding with a player during Thursday's password night who scored over 5000 on Jabal. As he was playing medic, I'm pretty sure he didn't earn those points (although, he was a good medic). Personally, I find this bug to be more of an amusement than a problem, but if people are being accused of hacking then perhaps it should be taken more seriously.

I agree, it especially sinks in when i have mowed down 5 people with a SAW and they have all died and then respawn, and I am only awarded one kill.

But oh well......in only certain cases like that, i want to be acknowledge for my license to kill, and to slowly demoralize the other team as they watch their tickets go down to zero.

I agree, there is definitely a bug in the system. I think I have twice taken the top spot on the PR server for doing nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual Engineer work. On our server it's no big deal since we are aware of the bug and score really means nothing here anyway.

Yeah, Charity Case picked up a hostile sniper kit for the last 15 minutes of that round and ended up getting the best sniper score. It is quite an amusing bug.

who cares about score, i personally think they should get rid of the entire tab screen as all it does is lean towards stat whores who are the ones that never follow orders and break rules.

i mostly use the tab screen to see who im up against when im flying, other then that i dont really use it.

^^QFT. And I've seen/been a victim of the bug before, except mine was a bit different. I was playing medic and I revived a downed teammate when he was right at 0 seconds (everyone has seen the miraculous revive before, so you know what I'm talking about). After I revived the teammate, I would get the "zap" sound about every 10 seconds. Each time I got the sound, I noticed that my score jumped by 32 teamwork points and 12 regular points. By the end of the round, my score had reached over 5000 points. It was kinda funny.

The tab screen can be useful to confirm kills

I know score isn't important, and I don't rely on my score to determine wether I've had a good round or not. But since it's there, I usually look at it at the end of a round, and sometimes even when I stick to my teamates all game, ammo them, repair them, place mine fields, heal, revive, kill enemies near flags etc... I get a minus teamwork score...

Sometimes very high scores are related to the destruction of bunkers and firebases next to command posts - the asset will continue to get repaired but blow up again immediately, and the guy who destroyed it in the first place gets points everytime.

This must be what happened with my squad on Jabal because we wrecked an enemy fire base and then it proceeded to automatically rebuild and destroy itself for about three minutes.

I believe it doesn't tally kills until the killed player respawns, so it will take quite some time to confirm your kill.
