    Point Bonus

    with this patch I think they should include a point bonus (either a percentage, static amount or whatever) to the winning team to give a little bit more of an incentive to win. Perhaps they could even include a bonus to the best squad? All I know is it would give a team/squad that extra incentive to work together and win

    With the patch 1.03 you mean ? Oh they say they will modify the point system. You will earn point for destroying enemy artillery, UAV, radar ...

      I believe me means, instead of running around just capping flags; make there be an incentive to cap the flags AND hold them. Thus winning the round for your team.

        Increase the radius to which you get a bonus point for defending the flag, at present it's only if the enemy is within capping range. I think double the distance is good so would encompas a fair amount of space around the CP to entice people to actually defend it.

          No I'm sorry if my wording was unclear. I meant to say that there should be a point bonus to the team which wins the entire round (as in the opposing teams tickets are reduced to zero). It would give players more of a feeling that they are actually working on a team and working towards a common goal.

          as it is now, there is no real incentive to winning a round, and most of the time i find myself not really caring so much about who is winning, but how I am doing.

            wouldnt that just encourage changing teams near the end o the game to save points?

              A point bonus or % bonus to the winning team or squad would actually be really cool. As it goes now people don't really play to win as I see it. They just run around cap a few flags and get some kills. There's definetly no defense.

              If you give a % bonus that would make the better members of the team earn more points. So that instead of a static number you'd have to win and be good to get a better bonus.

                The autobalance usually locks you out from changing teams, or makes it difficult.

                Or they can make it so that once one team drops below 20 tickets there is no more team switching.....

                  I think a bonus for the best squad/best squad member would be in order too, a bonus would encourage people to join squads and actually work together to get that bonus

                    If you beat a team 103-0 you get more points than you would for beating a team 3-0. I agree with this, you should deffinitely get points for winning a round.

                    If autobalance is on people wont be able to switch right before its over.

                      I would like points for winning the round. It is true....people care more about personal points than winning since winning doesn't really do anything.

                      The team switching is easily throw off by autobalance (which is needed among ranked servers I believe)...and even then it shouldn't be hard to code something where team switching is turned off after a team is below so many tickets.

                        Excellent idea! The way a lot of peeps play at the moment (with no regard for squad or team success) is really starting to anoy me :thatsbad:

                        Some form of incentive is needed to increase the amount quality team-play, and since everyone seems to be obsessed with building their stats I guess bonus points is teh way to go.

                          The only way an idea like this can work is if autobalance is forced to be enabled.
                          People shouldn't receive points for team whoring and winning like 20 on 10 games...just stupid. I really don't understand that s*** anyways because it's not like you get a whole lot of points when you just run over a smaller team. The game ends in like 3 minutes and then you have to sit through a long ass load time for the next map.

                          I like this idea: Bonus points for most flag points in a round. Maybe the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place players in terms of flag points get some form of point bonus. This would avoid spammo and medibag point whoring and only give the $$$ to the people who are actively trying to take and hold flags(the whole point of conquest, not tank whore, sorry guys).
