It's the only metric available. Points are awarded for actions that benefit the team; more points mean more positive actions, which means a higher probability of winning.

I would love to see a scoreboard where the winning team has far less points than the losing team.

This is 100% true, a good poo poo poster in chat will derail and affect the outcome of the game more than some bushwookie

You just described a difference between two teams, not two players.

Start every round by typing “I’m gay” in chat and see where it takes you.

Just running the LGBT tag in BFV automatically starts poo poo without any effort, not that I can even use chat in that loving game :dice:

I play on southeast Asia servers that often cross pollinate with Oceania servers due to low player base and acceptable ping, and maybe every other game there are at least 5 people on each side engaged in a pro/anti China rage fest complete with all the racism and swearing and trolling you would expect, typically in 2 languages too, but I've seen maybe 4 at once? All typed in English characters (so some phonetically).

It is honestly kind of incredible.

In Chivalry 2, there is this arena map that was a meat grinder and would only last 4 minutes before the map change. Compared to the other maps which last half an hour. At the end of the round, I would always say "Wow, that lasted as long as the Confederacy." and chat would just erupt.

"Taiwan #1" is something that's been making the rounds lately. As indicated though, LGBT and ACAB tags passively start poo poo in amazing ways.

At one point there was a game -- I want to say it was one of the MOBAs -- that would autoban in the Asia datacenter for saying that the Liancourt Rocks belong to Korea.

“I’m gay” got me a lot of mileage in Chiv 2 as well. Too bad it’s a dead game already and won’t survive to steam launch.

So did “Imagine telling your parents you play archer,” which I’ll probably adopt into “Imagine telling your parents you play sniper” for Battlefield.

I've always used c4, so I'd have to either switch seats at the last second or try to dive out and detonate before the tank killed me, just crashing into them is going to be easy money

If I switch the website from the US to the UK version, the text just says "Open Beta". So I think the US site is just displaying an image from the wrong region.

This is not the jihad jeeping that I’m familiar with. It’s always been bailing out of a jeep before it runs up a tanks rear end with a few C4s on the hood when I’ve seen/done it.

I really want to see an entire server of jihad jeep only. 128 players jihad jeeping.

Or 64 players jihad jeeping, and the other 64 players having to make it across the map with armor.

DICE dont gently caress up sandbox mode.

I'd like an addendum to this, each side gets one tank with no ammo, objective is to destroy the enemy tank
