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...

I did my take on why this is a bad mistake in another thread and hey-presto, here are the results of its implementation.
It's took 3 months to developer a few UI elements to show whilst holding down a key. What a misery the development process is for this game. When will they admit that the state of the game engine is currently utter trash?
So true, when discussing them adding a scoreboard back in December I pointed out that it would be a fail because the underlying XP system doesn't track actions for score in any way resembling past BF titles. You can't show an end of round score based on team play stats the game doesn't generate or track. 2042 is flawed and lacking at the most fundamental levels compared to previous entries. Adding a scoreboard is meaningless if the game doesn't have a proper scoring system in place. It's a bandaid fix for a game that needs a heart transplant.
I guess scoring got turned into a legacy feature. The previous leadership at DICE sure botched this game up.
