So I am enjoying my time with Halo Reach, although I have yet to crack the campaign (waiting on my surround to get up and running again). But I think the point system for Arena is seriously, seriously flawed. The way I have always played (and the group of people I game with too) is that when you have more kills than deaths, you did good. The larger that spread, the better. People who have a negative spread, aren’t helping your team, they are hurting you. So why is it that the guy with a spread of -6 has a higher score than me with +2? Oh, because Bungie rewards points based more on kills, then on deaths. So unlike me, who wants my team to win, the idiot-child next to me who single handedly lost the game for us has a higher score. Redonk.

Here this is a real example from the other day:

I got 1440 for 12k 1a 8d.

Another guy got 1410 for 13k 3a 20d.

He got 2/5 the other teams needed kills, and I got only 30 points better?

If you’re -7 spread, you should be getting like 500 points. This is officially stupid.

Seriously

Take a stand!
