Why does the new scoreboard show fake scores?
It's always reflected the XP rewards in-game previously, at least that was always my understanding of how it worked. It was a reflection of ALL your actions, not just kills/assists/captures, but also...

There's 8 columns. Place, name, score, kills, deaths, assists, revives, and captures.
Killing 1 player adds 1 kill to the kill column. The same is true for the deaths, assists, revives, and captures columns.
The score column is where EXP points are added up. Like +25 EXP for a kill.
I don't understand what the x0, x1, x2, stuff is. But as you can see FlyingSquirrel only has one flag capture despite that column having x3.
I'm guessing x3 is some kind of EXP multiplier for the score column, but that really doesn't make sense and I have no idea what the designer was thinking.
- @OskooI_007 The multipliers for the columns do equal the score column. That's what Edge is saying, the score column has no relation to your actual XP.
I see now. Yeah that's a really weird way of scoring EXP. I guess DICE never coded anything into the server software to add up the actual EXP players earn during each match.
- @OskooI_007 Dude it's ridiculous, that score is completely irrelevant with random weights? What is the point?
Maybe they could also show a completely random stat in your squad EOR screen so no one has hurt feelings when they are last in every category because they camped the entire round, but hey they had 1x Ranger kill!
- @OskooI_007 The x2/x3 are multipliers, so for each kill you get 2 points. For each flag capture you get 3 points.
It has nothing to do with the actual in-game point system that exists and it confuses me as to what purpose it serves.

I just assumed DICE was adding up EXP like they did in all previous Battlefield games. It seems obvious BF2042 was built around Hazard Zone. Conquest and Breakthrough must have got shoe horned in at the last minute because the scoring system is completely missing from Conquest and Breakthrough. It's all quite horrifying!
